#THANKu

Rashad Evans got hurt again, he must not want that belt bacc, or training too hard cuz he keeps getting hurt.

 

[ELPOLLITO]

wow, i wanted to see Rashad seemed to be some bad blood after the last bones fight

 

[BROWN GUERRERO]

Wow way better match up. Machida actually stands a good chance. Ufc comes through again.

 

[RM211]

machida is just gona bacc pedal, jones will slowly stalk him and finish him, thought rashad had a better chance cuz hes more unpredictable, rather than machida standing straight up with his chin out.

He actually broke his thumb during the Tito fight.


This looks like a bad ass card by the way.

 

[InfamousICON]

This card is fucking amazing.

Hominick vs. Korean Zombie is gonna be insane

Hope Machida pulls some more karate kid shit for a highlight reel KO

WAR NOG BROS

 

[RM211]

dislocated his thumb actually.

 

[RM211]

damn this going to be jones 4th fight this year, gotta admire that from bones jones.

 

[B-Buzz]

lol Bones is saying that Rashad's ducking him. UFC's gotta be hoping he wins so they can do Bones vs Rashad TUF on FX

 

[antilabs]

machida is dangerous for anyone. i really think stylistically this is a challenging matchup for jones and machida will definitely be hungry to win this.

w/that said i wouldn't put too much emotion behind one or the other. they're both phenomenal fighters and whoever outworks the other deserves to win.

damn this going to be jones 4th fight this year, gotta admire that from bones jones.

[drunkaholic707]

i totally agree that machida provides a bit of an issue for Jones. still think Jones will take it....but i hope machida kicks his fucking head off!
respect for Jones for taking so many fights in such a short time frame.

A lot of those fancy kicks(front kick, side kick to the knee, spinning back kick, etc.) Jones uses are so effective because his opponents aren't used to seeing them therefor can't stop them, but all those are found in the discipline Machida has spent his entire life training(shotokan). I think for this exact reason PLUS Machida's traditional side stance will benefit him in this fight. I think Machida will try to eliminate Jone's reach advantage by being even more cautious and choosing his spots to jump in with a counter extremely carefully. Jones is by far the superior athlete tho and still has an ace up his sleeve in the form of his excellent wrestling.

great fight

this pretty much how i see it too, & is exactly why this is the match i wanted to see in the first place. the stand-up portion of the fight is going to be very interesting to watch. really hoping to see machida exploit jones explosiveness & work his way inside that long reach for the kill.

 

[B-Buzz]

I want to see videos of Anderson emulating Bones for Machida

 

[STICK-N-MOVE]

hell yea. great 2 see machida earn another shot at the title. it makes more sense since machida already defeated rashad. both fighters got a extremely technical stand up game with jones having the reach advantage while machida has more experience. im giving it 2 machida for the fact that he has sparring experience vs a. silva.
