Here we go again. DC fought one top 5 guy in his career and promptly lost getting tossed around like a sack of potatoes. We don't want to hear about DC beating Old Man Hendo, Barista Cummins, Lethargic Frank Mir, One Trick Pony Roy Nelson and underachieving Josh Barnett no more, them dudes are either washed up or were never relevant to begin with. DC is a fraud and Rumble is going to put an end to him.

Are you confident enough in Rumble to put a ban bet on it

Let's do this. What are your terms?

Rumble wins I take a month long ban from The Coli from May 24th-June 24th.

DC wins you take a month long ban from The Coli for the same time frame.

If you ever get in a fight outside the clubs or whatever, and you land a leg kick to their thigh, knee or side of the shin, and watch their face go from to a combination of and it will all be worth it.

if you're worried about shots to the head, there's always the option of punching to the chest. many dudes train that way to avoid unnecessary contact with the head.

I'm no pro, since I've only taken a few classes before, but as a boxing head I'm sure you'll appreciate the kicks giving you extra tools and range.

I don Muay Thai. the thing with Leg kicks is kicking someone on the same spot repeatedly That shyt hurts. The knews the solar plexus will put down the biggest dudes

So, after the Weidman/Vitor fight, who has next? Do we need to see Rockhold/Jacare II to determine it or is it definitely Jacare's shot?

Should be the Winner v. Jacare (if it's Vitor they can do it in Brazil)

and winner of that face Rockhold (if Weidman wins he gets Rockhold first)

Doesn't matter who wins Rockhold/Jacare II.

Cormier won 1-2 rounds off of Jones in a relatively competitive fight (at least for the first 3 rounds). Other than Gus, Cormier has given Jones his toughest challenge. How is he fraud? Yes, his resume isn't that great, but it's not like Rumble's resume is top notch. Lil Nog, gatekeeper Davis, journeymen Kyle, can Linderman, etc. Overall, Rumble's wins are better (not by much though), but he has more loses on his record. DC can beat almost any HW or LHW in MMA, so if he's a fraud, what does that say about those divisions (and fighters)?

Both fighters are very deserving, that's a tough decision. I would give the very slight edge to Rockhold.

I think it should be winner of Weidman/Belfort vs Rockhold. Set up Romero/Jacare again in the meantime for the next shot.

Joe Rogan's thoughts on the new Reebok deal:



It's nice seeing Joe speak his mind and not just towing the company line.

I hope Jones learns to get high and stay his ass at home after all this is over. I feel like Bader lucked out on this, UFC will give him an easier fight than Cormier, if he wins definite title shot=more money.

when I read the headline that bader prefers to "wait" for his title shot. I was like hold up, I know the division has gone to shyt but is this Dude about to get a title shot for beating OSP?

it doesn't take more than a few well placed ones for your opponent to deeply consider the shyt he got himself into. shyt I might have to take lessons again

I wouldn't say he was the second guy behind gus to give him trouble. Jones pretty much had his way with him. I would give that to rashad

Don't mention that win over osp
