"I have fought both worse and better opponents. Had that (Johnson) fight taken me somewhere, I would have been the first to accept. Since his return to the UFC after being kicked out, he has beaten Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, who passed his expiration date a long time ago, and Phil Davis. He needs at least a couple wins more. We are not in the playground anymore, it's not about who is the toughest, it's about my career. I want to have a long and successful career. You have to think tactically and you can't just go in and swing against the first best opponent." - Gus

“Somebody went for a takedown, (Jones) stepped the wrong way, twisted the wrong way and down he went,” Jackson said. “He was fighting it, and he just twisted it. And then it just popped.”
“It drives me crazy,” White said on The Jim Rome Show. “First of all he’s fighting a 5-(foot)-10 unbelievable wrestler – that’s who he is facing in Daniel Cormier. (But) he’s training with 6-10, no-wrestling, all-standup kickboxer Alistair Overeem. And Alistair Overeem lands on his leg and busts his knee up and gives him a high ankle sprain.
“I mean I just don’t know why he would be training with Alistair Overeem for a fight when he’s going to fight a 5-10 wrestler. I don’t know, it’s frustrating.
“I wanted to pick the phone up about 20 times and call (Greg Jackson) and say ‘What are you doing? Why’s he training with Alistair Overeem to fight Daniel Cormier? Please tell me how that makes sense. But I didn’t. I bit my tongue, until right this second.”
Overeem described the “freak” accident as part of the sport. Fighters get injured and are forced to withdraw from upcoming contests on what seems like a daily basis, it just so happened this specific incident caused one of the most anticipated bouts of the year to be postponed.
“(The injury was) very unfortunate,” Overeem told MMAjunkie. “This was just one of those freak accidents on a takedown. Listen, I was looking forward to that fight. Everybody was looking forward to that fight. Jon Jones was looking forward to it. Accidents happen. There’s no fault to blame.
“What is he doing training with me? We’re in the same gym. We’re teammates. We have lunch (together) and we drive around together.”
“There was no intent (to hurt him),” Overeem said. “There’s always something you can say. Sometimes it’s best to say nothing and it is what it is. That’s just my two cents.”

I hate when fighters do this, downplaying each other's accomplishments to get around fighting one another "And Phil Davis" .. The same Phil who fairly easily choked Gus out and ended up training with him. Gus isn't wrong to wanna wait for his title shot but it's looking like he's gonna be waiting a while. Why not get Rumble out of the way unless you're unsure about your chances since you'll likely have to deal with him eventually anyway.
Truthfully Rumble has almost as good of a call for the next title shot as Gus does if you break down their last few opponents and where they were in their careers.

Does Anderson age? He looks the exact same. Wand on the other hand, actually looks normal in this picture.

Its everyone savior yall. The man Jones was ducking, now giving excuses to avoid Rumble(who I think Gus has the perfect style to beat him) This is what happens when folks go around gassing this guy up with this uncrowned champion shyt. A false sense of entitlement and arrogance. LOL@him shytting on Rumble opponents. Old ass Shogun who he couldn't even finish is top opponent? Nog, who he originally agreed to fight before Manuwa, an guy barely in the top ten. Davis, who he got subed by? And he thinks hes going to fight in a stadium in Sweden
This guy has literally morphed into a white jon jones without the accomplishements
It amazes me who no one has gone off and smacked the piss out of this guy yet. Who the fukk is he to tell professional trainers how to run their gym? Jackson, a guy who has trained multiple champions. White, a fukking exercise instructor who just happened to know rich friends. LOL@his ignorance too. Overeem not a grappler? The man has more subs then KO/TKO. And hes obviously a strong guy? Why not grapple with him?
with that bullshyt. Typical Dana criticizing Jackson for that. DC is strong as fukk it makes perfect sense for Bones to be grappling with Overeem.Edit: Beat me to it.

Black dont crack. Well no because Cordiero looks a lot older. And Wandy of course looks like a botoxed anime character due to all the surgeries. Its still hilarious seeing Silva/Cordiero together since Silva almost killed him once
