Rashad is a good wrestler. He couldnt take down Jon Jones after proclaiming his superiority over Jon on the ground.

Rashad is a talented wrestler too. He couldnt take down Jon Jones though and also isnt known for his ground n pound punishment. Hes a decision fighter in 2012 and beyond. I think Chaell could take Jon down..

There is no way Chael is getting Jones down, sure he got Silva down but Jones is worlds better than Silva when it comes to wrestling.

I said it before, I'm a fan of Sonnen but Jones is going to wreck the guy. :yeshrug:

Jones and Sonned just did ustream with Dana White. Dana stepped to the side and Jones and Chael were super buddy buddy. I thought they were going to start stroking each other. Here's a round up of all the answers..


Damon Martin ‏@DamonMartin
@frontrowbrian Agreed. I know Chael respects Jones and vice versa but you're killing the heat with that "friendly chat"

Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani
As just reported on @UFCTonight, @FrankieEdgar will meet Jose Aldo at UFC 156 on 2/2 in Las Vegas. That's 156, not 157.


Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani
As just reported on @UFCTonight, Dana told me Bisping-Belfort is NOT a done deal just yet. It could be on 1/19 in Brazil but not done yet.

better version.

Dana White

-Andrei Arlovski won't be returning to the UFC unless he defeats a top opponent.
-Jon Jones vs. Anderson Silva will happen one day (he said that twice)
-Recently tried to sign Fedor Emelianenko, but he's "retired for good".
-Confirmed Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Fabricio Werdum as the TUF Brazil 2 coaches.
-Talked to Dan Henderson, his knee isn't 100% yet
-On Strikeforce - 'who knows, we'll see what happens'
-Has interest in Tyrone Spong, not much in Dave Bautista
-No idea who Nick Diaz will fight, needs to get relicensed first
-Said Fedor is one of the best HW's ever, but not one of the best fighters ever. 'You're outta your mind.'
-On fighter pay - 'Trust me, these guys are getting paid. Mind your business.'
-Stephan Bonnar is now retired
-There is a fight planned for Cowboy Stadium, but it's not Jones/Sonnen.
-He isn't sure when Mark Hunt will return from injury.
-On signing Eddie Alvarez - 'We plan on it'.
-Says Anderson Silva is definitely not ducking Chris Weidman.
-Neither Frank nor Ken Shamrock would be invited to a BBQ at his place.

Jon Jones

-Wants to move to heavyweight around the end of 2013
-Thinks Daniel Cormier is 'a little better wrestler than him', but 'this isn't a wrestling match'.
-Wants to fight Alexander Gustafsson so critics will shut up about his reach advantage.
-Said that Chael has been 'pretty nice' and 'classy' so far.
-Confirmed that Bubba Jenkins and Frank Mir are two of his TUF 17 coaches

Chael Sonnen

-'The Jon Jones pizza - extra cheese and a whole lotta chicken'.
-Fan to Chael - 'No spinning backfist', Chael to fan 'You got a deal!'
-Says he's voting for Brian Stann in next week's election
-Says he's still around 230, hasn't gained any weight yet
-He hasn't spoken to Dan Henderson yet, but thinks their relationship will be fine
-On Quinton Jackson - ' "I don't have the foggiest idea what he's good at, but man, he can win a lot of fights.'

My top 3 MMA wrestlers are GSP, Bones and DC.

Bones' clinch [trips and throws] are beautiful.

Got no problem with that list, at all.


Bones in the clinch is a scary sight. Which is strange for such a tall guy. Im on the tall side myself and i love trips and suplexs from the clinch and everybody always looks at me weird :heh:
