      I know right? He hasn't had a single fight in the UFC where he even looked to be having a hard time. Then again Machida was kinda the same way and Shogun knocked that fucker out, so I am not going to pull a Joe Rogan and proclaim this the "Jones Era"

      On another topic, the Light Heavyweight belt hasn't been defended successfully really since 2007. In comparison Anderson Silva has been the Middleweight champ since then, same for GSP. I think that is a testament to how stacked the LHW division is as well as how dominant GSP and Silva are. I thought the same of BJ Penn though as well so who knows, their time may be up.

        damn, talk about domination! Jones looked like a giant next to Shogun! Shogun didn't have anything for him.

          That was insane. Never did I think Jones would singlehandedly destroy Shogun like that.

          Although i kept yelling at the TV when Jones sat in Shogun's guard lol I really thought shogun would've tried for some submission attempts..

          Predictions for Jones v Evans? After watching Jones' last 4 fights, I've bought into the hype that it'll take a monster to stop him..

            I hate Rashad's style and the way he comes across outside the octagon, so I hope Bones destroys him.

              Ditto on both accounts. His wrestling is the only thing that gives him a chance... but he's so damn short.

                I haven't seen Rashad impose any real wrestling in his last couple fights. He's got quick hands, but I think Jones will be able to keep Rashad out of takedown range. I predict a complete dismantling of Rashad by round 2 unless he can dance around and avoid the freight train that is Jon Bones Jones.

                  Ever since I saw Jones suplex Bonner, I knew he was going to dominate some guys.

                    I thought he was going to be good, but I didn't want to let myself get drawn into the hype. Well, I've most definitely bought into it now.. He looks like a video game character the way he fights, he does the stuff we all do when we play: flying knee to start, followed by head kicks and whatever flashy stuff we can pull off. Unreal.

                          Anybody else pumped about the GSP v Shields fight?? This is as stacked of a card as you could really hope for:

                          GSP vs Shields
                          Jose Aldo vs Mark Hominick
                          Randy Couture vs Lyoto Machida
                          Benson Henderson vs Mark Bocek
                          Nate Diaz vs Rory MacDonald
                          Jake Ellenberger vs Sean Pierson


                          All of those fighters put on good fights, and are bound to be interesting. The only one I see as potentially being boring is the Couture fight. But the clash of styles alone should make it a good one to watch!

                            When is that on? I'm not up to date at all on my MMA schedules.

                                The one thing I can say about the GSP Shields fight is these two are all about respecting one another so far. I love that when it happens. This should be a good fight. Both these guys are taking it seriously.
