bigtplaystew Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Why are you upset, BH? Seems like a decent title fight. Were you pulling for Hunt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I agree with you somewhat. Unfortunately, with Reem getting yet another illegal substance accusation attached to him, his legacy will forever be tarnished. Is he really in a "number 1 in the world" conversation if he had to cheat? I say yes, quite frankly, but we've had heated PED conversations that lead me to believe that tons of MMA fans already probably see him as less great now.

Daffanka Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Except his chin is made of wet tissue paper. He's so Athletic and Explosive that he leaps into heavyweight punches and dies, I don't think it's strictly a chin issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoutureLegend Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Brendan Schaub made a huge mistake in thinking that Rothwell was badly hurt.. If he had watched Big Ben fight before then he would've known that his chin is made of granite! Schaub should've stayed patient & just picked Rothwell apart with his speed. Glad Big Ben won thought, he's tough as nails & seems like a cool guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damonster Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 A few questions I have wondered today, see what your guys answer? Is Jon Jones at Anderson Silva's level, where he is to good for his opponent and shows that in fights he should finish? What happens to Hominick? Does McDonald deserve a title shot?

Is Jon Jones at Anderson Silva's level, where he is to good for his opponent and shows that in fights he should finish? What happens to Hominick? Does McDonald deserve a title shot? As crazy as it may sound, i think Jones has surpassed Anderson & deserve's to be ranked ahead of him in the mythical P4P rankings. Silva has had an incredible run, but Jones has literally faced a murderer's row of opponents in his run as champion & dare i say it, he has done it with ease. I don't think Jones is unbeatable at 205, because nobody is unbeatable, but i think the true test of his talents will be when he makes the inevitable move up to heavyweight, because unlike at 205 where he literally looks like he's in a different weight class to some of those guys, Jones would look like a stick standing across the octagon from Dos Santos, Overeem or Mir. I've no idea what they will do with Hominick, he's definitely not getting cut because he's an exciting fighter but will likely be on the prelims next. Long road back to the top for him though. The winner of Barao/Menjivar is likely going to get the next title shot after Faber, although if Menjivar was to beat Barao (albeit unlikely) then they may overlook him & go with McDonald, but yeah likely he will have to win a few more. Don't think he beats Cruz though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding Jones being on level or better than Silva it's obviously questionable. Anderson's had a title longer and defended it more times. However, Jon Jones has had a better two years than any fighter on the planet I would argue. I dont think that Jones is so many lightyears beyond Rashad that he toyed with him or anything though. I think Jones fought a conservative fight as per his gameplan and got the victory against a guy who could definitely have beaten him if Jones gave him an opportunity. But he didn't and the rest is history. Hominick gets one more fight that he should win. If he doesn't, he'll be looking for a job somewhere else I would think.

ampulator Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 In terms logetivity, Silva is hard to beat. However, the fact that Jones clearly out notoriously difficult division is an achievement. People complain that he beat two of out of their prime (Rampage, Shogun), but they can't really complain about him beating the other two (Machied, Evans). And all four of them are four champions. Silva's faced tough competition, to be surre. He's practically cleared his division, while Jones had done with a span a few years, and when he was young. It's an odd thing to see.

Capelli King Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Reem has been pulled out of the main event vs Santos I was looking forward to that fight as i am an Overeem supporter. Mir vs JDS wont be that bad though, Mir has been on good form as of late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of guys survive without brilliant chins at heavyweight, they're just not inclined to head butt punches. Cain fighting Bigfoot Silva at 146 now :/. Don't fancy Bigfoot much in this one. Bigfoot just got destroyed by a fatter, smaller, worse Cain, so I don't fancy him much either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shape Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 So Reem says it was due to an anti-inflammatory drug he didn't know contained testosterone. Wonder if it'll fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
