^^ i refuse to call you crazy cuz i think/hope the same thing.

how are you gonna say "ortiz aint done yet?" though (@ stony)? bader was a good win. he couldnt hang with the new rashad (on short notice).. but he would destroy the likes of mousasi (would be a good fight to make) & many other LHWs.

i'm not saying he's still a beast, but Gay Mezger is his bitch. for all eternity.

MACHIDA REALLY HAS HAD TO HAVE IMPROVE HIS HANDS TO WIN THIS...HIS HANDS COST HIM AGAINST SHOGUN...CAUSE HE CANT FIGHT IN THE POCKET...HE DOESNT THROW COMBOS WITH HIS PUNCHES EFFECTIVELY...HE THROWS ONE OR TWO GOOD PUNCHES CLEANLY, DUE TO HIS FOOTWORK...BUT HE DONT HAVE ONE PUNCH KO POWER...NO BODY SHOTS OR DIFFERENT ANGLED PUNCHES LIKE HOOKS OR UPPERCUTS...UNLESS HE'S IN A CLINCH...SO WE'LL SEE...JONES SEEMS TO BE IMPROVING EVERY FIGHT.

Bones is going to put Machida to sleep. Machida is going to get picked apart from the outside, because he fights with his hands down. Bones range is going to give Machida nightmares. Bones by 3 round KO.

damn i cant wait! bones is gonna be bones. but machida is looking like hes really embracing other artforms of fighting styles and physical conditioning for this fight. this is the most hungry ive ever seen him. if machida cant stop him, jones is gonna reigning champ for awhile cuz you really just gotta be an ultra intelligent fighter to get thru bones-no one is more disciplined to this sport than machida. ive never ordered a ufc, let alone a ppv fight ever and i might have to this time but itll be highly appreciated if someone posts a link of the stream. imho machida got this, the intenisity reminds me when he was about to fight rashad.
