HC Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 DC calling Jones on his bullshit and his attempt at being polite. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summers Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I hope Jones tears his fucking head off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Jones is a two face. Even Todd Grisham asked him why he was attempting to play innocent after trash talking on Twitter just minutes before the interview. He's like the kid that bullies you then plays dumb I'm front of parents. Just own the fact that you're a knob man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I hope Jones tears his fucking head off. I'm pretty sure something akin to this is going to happen. Also, the staredown between Poirier and McGregor was pretty awesome as well. Can't wait for that one, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I want this show to be right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 178 is a fucking home run of a show. Everything from the main event to the fight pass card has pretty meaningful bouts. 177 looks terrible in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuka's Gonna Kill You Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 The interview is up on ESPN now. Don't think I've disliked a fighter as much as I do Jones in quite some time, probably since back in the day with Ortiz or possibly Koscheck as a more recent one. Still think Cormier will beat him and it'll be absolutely glorious if he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Yeah, I feel like some are just assuming Jones will win, but Cormier has dominated bigger fighters at a higher weight. I'm not saying he'll win, but holy shit I want him too badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 He has dominated people who are no way near the talent or athlete as Jon Jones, Jones is phenominal and to think DC will win this one handily I think is ridiculous, DC couldn't finish Barnett and Mir, yet is expected to walk over Jon Jones, the man who has finished Sonnen, Belfort, Rashad, Rampage, Lyoto, etc...??? I know you some of you dislike JJ but the guy is unbelievable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieG Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'm not huge on Jones, and was a pretty big fan of Strikeforce Cormier, but Jones will annihilate DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'm not a lover of Jones, but I think he is more likely to walk over DC than the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuka's Gonna Kill You Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'm torn on it personally. I'm slightly leaning towards Cormier but I never discredit how great Jones is. Nothing would really surprise me in this one and that's what makes it an absolutely brilliant fight. It was looking an awesome fight even before the heated stuff, it's even more exciting with that thrown in too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 So since Rampage doesn't wanna' fight his buddy, Emanuel Newton now has to defend his title against Joey Beltran of all people. I like Beltran, but Newton is stuck in MMA hell right now. Speaking of silly Bellator stuff, I really hope UFC get their hands on Alvarez. Don't think it'll happen in time for UFC 178, though.

JasonM Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I want to see JJ get beat just as much as the next guy, but I don't feel DC is all-round as phenomenally gifted as Jon Jones. I mean he outwrestled Sonnen like he was some kind of amateur, He has submitted the likes of Lyoto and Vitor, he has outfought the likes of Rua, Rashad Evans, Glover Texeira and (not really) Gustafsson. Not to knock Cormier or anything, but Jon Jones is arguably the most talented MMA fighter in the world today bar none. Cormier will always stand a chance, and the best chance he has is actually standing and trying to cave his face in with his punches... But Jones really doesn't have a weakness other than his toxic arrogance. Will be an amazing fight though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't he already signed? Currently negotiating a Cerrone fight for 178. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 As far as I can tell negotiations are still going on, but Coker's new regime has basically washed his hands of Alvarez. It'll probably be just a matter of time, but nothing's final yet. They have only been sources that are saying UFC have done it, but nothing official.

Your Mom Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I don't know if it's fake or not but they are doing a great job of making me want to see Jones/Cormier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuka's Gonna Kill You Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 This is being taken down from quite a few places, doing the rounds right now. Jon Jones, lovely guy right? https://mediacru.sh/9udOwRUPh0yv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
