Essential The Official MMA Thread

[Roman Brady]

To be dead honest, it's that we both have a lot to lose and we both respect each other a lot and we both are striving for personal greatness. I don't want to crack on his greatness and I don't want him cracking on my greatness

I respect Anderson Silva so much that I don't want to be the guy to beat him. I don't want to lose to him either.

Translation, we know what my strengths are & u know what his weakness is.I can beat him, I know it you know it we all know it.But I cant appear too cocky after the rashad situation.And Anderson is the guy I watched a lot of tape on when I was on the come up so there is a professional fondness there.Hes got a good thing going as do I why would I want to risk my riches by taking the fight tho, all it takes is a punch.I would love to beat him but losing to him would tarnish my legacy no need to take the fight

The more I think about it the more I about bones vs Henderson... This fight is tailored for hendo to lose and I'm a hendo fan. Bones is like silva's upgraded clone in a sense. Forget about the "h" bomb there is no way in hell bones gonna let him get close to unload that overhand right with all that power. I actually got bones on tko maybe just maybe submission if they go to the floor... But I see a tko and yes I know hendo has never been koed. But hendo's best fight/KO recently had to be the bisping fight... And didn't hendo lose to name shields? Yeah bones gonna eat. I'm sorry hendo hate it had to be you

Rashad hit Jones with a mean hook that stunned him and I think their reach is pretty similar.


Jones' MMA wrestling is better...his striking is better overall...and Dan's been submitted before....but Dan has a more proven chin and he hits harder.

It's basically the UFC 135 main event all over again...but that TRT...that TRT

I agree but that Evans vs bones fight wasn't like any previous jones fight...he seemed like he shelled up... Hendo does have a great chin... And a great punch BUT that's what EVERYONE knows. As oppose to rashad has several different methods of attacking... I think bones will be weary of the overhand right. Hendo is slower than rashad... And doesn't know bones like rashad did

What does trt stand for?

Testosterone Replacement Therapy. Henderson will be on it for this fight.

nobody has a similar reach to Jones.

and Jones will have a 13.5 inch reach advantage over Hendo

 

[firemanBk]

^^ He was saying Rashad's reach is similar to Hendo's.


Anyway, Josh Koscheck vs. Jake Ellenberger is going down on the Jones vs. Henderson card

 

[profound]

my fault

its going to be a massacre considering how quickly henderson gasses

another choke submission for jones


if dana really wanted to stick it to fedor he would sign him and force him to fight jones at 205 all weakened out

 

[jackswstd]

Henderson will be dangerous for 2 rounds at the most. I highly doubt Jones is gonna KO him if anything it'll be the same outcome as Anderson vs Hendo.

 

[Another Man]

Hendo has a puncher's chance at best. Everything else, Jones has the advantage...reach, speed, size/strength, better striking, better MMA wrestling...I see Jones lighting him up from the outside until he eventually drops then gets mount and throws eilbows till a TKO stoppage or Dan turns so he gets the RNC, or Dan somehow closing the distance and trying to clinch only to get ragdolled and eat elbows.

 

[FaTaL]

Remember hendersons take down defense against shields?

I hope Hendo's "he's just an inexperienced kid who throws goofy elbows" talk is just gamesmanship and not indicative of his mindset. I don't mean this disrespectfully although it will sound that way, this is terrible matchup for a 42 year old guy with an iffy back, meh cardio (not that Jones is great cardio wise either) who has devolved into a brawler who trusts his chin entirely too much. I don't want to see it happen since Hendo beating Jones would cap one hell of a late career run but if Jones has his head where it needs to be he CAN do very similar to what he did to Rampage

I also remember the first round of that fight...Jon should be careful.


Aldo vs. Koch at ufc 153 in brazil....wish it was zombie, though. But QRJ and Glover are fighting that night in the co-main so I'm copping this one regardless.


Pro picks on sherdog have 7-5-1 in favor of Barao over Urijah...I just don't see it...I think Faber knocks him out.


Speaking of Texiera, I kinda wish they'd take him out of UFC 153 and replace him w/ Chael...they've been talking sh!t back and forth all week long. But 153 is in Brazil so...nevermind.

 

[puppetmaster]

Looks like Tim Sylvia gets the pleasure of getting the brakes beaten off of him by Daniel Cormier next.
