I want Vitor to pull an upset but very slim chance. Jones is going to be the most hated champ from here on out. He got put in a tough predicament I understand why he didn't fight Chael but have never been a fan of his so I won't lose sleep over it.

shyt if Dana was really pissed at Jones, he should have him fight at HW against Black Fedor. :smugfavre: That fight would be golden and dope as fukk. But, I would actually would want to see Bones against Weidman too though since Andy don't wanna fight Weidman right now. Bones would win, but the styles clash would be something else.

He's still under contract with Showtime...but i think its up as soon as he fights Mir, because SF is dissolving their HW division

smh at all these 205'ers shook as fukk and cowering to not face Jones. I know dudes are gonna say its on a month's notice and should be more than that to fight a champ, but Bones is gonna fight a new opponent next month too and props to Vitor for stepping up. I don't give a fukk, if there is a title shot, fukk outta here, I'm taking it no matter what. Hopefully there is no more fukkery. I'm much more excited for this Bones match-up against Vitor than anyone else at 205. I doubt Vitor wins, but what better way to check Bones' chin and see if Bones is willingly to stand on the feet with him. :manny: But, fukk this has been the weirdest and probably most clusterfukk business days in Zuffa history. :pachaha:

yea I know. I think DC is gonna just dominate Mir, even finishing him in the 2nd round. I think he matches up great against JDS too. DC easily has the best wrestling in MMA. Jones is dope, but DC is like on another level. I mean the dude was throwing and tossing Barnett with ease was :gladbron: And no joke, his striking is like Fedor-esque. Its a thing of beauty. :wow:

Jones vs Cormier would've been CRAZYYYYYY. Too bad he is under a very strict contract with Showtime. I'm calling it right now, when Cormier comes to the UFC, he's going the man to dethrone Jon Jones (assuming Cormier decides to move down to LHW)

Also, rumor has it that Weidman offered to fight Bones. I understand why they choose Vitor though, he's a much bigger name.

DC is a beast..and hes basically a newb in the sport if were keepin it a hunna. I wouldnt go so far as to say his striking is Fedor-esque, but there are a lot of similiarties. If DC started using more Judo/BJJ :ohlawd: dudes GnP would be vicious.

I gotta find the vid, but that nikka fukkin suplexed the shyt outta Barnett like it was a bag of potatoes :noah:

He can...cutting weight and losing weight are two different things. Dude could diet and lose 15lbs easily..a 5-10lb weight cut wouldnt kill him...literally

Dana said Lyoto lost his title shot because he turned this one down. Wasn't like he deserved it anyway :manny:




LOL...so now Machida is back in Dana's doghouse, I guess.

There's no way in hell Gustaffson turned this fight down...they must not have asked him...why they hatin on The Mauler:noah:?

Jones-Belfort is a great fight but I'm frankly not hyped for it...It just feels weird.

Even with his kidney problems, Cormier has said that a move to LHW is possible, especially if Cain beats JDS [Cain ain't beating JDS tho] I'd still like him to move down to LHW.

IDK if DC wants to or is able to make 205. Plus I think Cormier is much better suited at HW because he has a big speed advantage over most HW's. But, if Bones moves up to HW, a match-up with em would be :ohmy: On paper, Cormier seems to have everything there is to beat Bones. DC has better wrestling and his boxing is better. But, Bones still has a reach and length advantage as well. But, a match-up with them would be too perfect and is honestly imo a 50-50 match-up pertaining to who would win. :wow: And yea I see why they went with Vitor. Weidman is dope though, and I think will be do damage at 185 and will be a champ one day for sure.

I remember reading somewhere that Gustafsson said that he needs more experience before fighting for the LHW title.

The dude literally gets better every time he fights. And his striking is almost unreal and is almost exactly like Fedor. And breh this dude was throwing Barnett around like a child with ease was :mindblown:
