Apt description for him too.. Someone should tell him if you are trying to talk your way into a le shot do not perform like a pussy in what should be an easy fight..
Fight of the year right there.. 2016..

really? I'd say Little Nog got "destroyed", Gus got clipped and did a damn good job trying to recover. His great striking was still on display even after he got wobbly. Looks like you have a little bit of confirmation bias. If he was such an overrated fighter Jones would've ended him. As much as I hate him Jones does have everything in his arsenal except crazy power. AJ has prime Hendo power except in all four limbs AND with the speed of a ing LW. It had nothing to do with Gus.
well let's hope Gus can beat ____________. I have a feeling Jones will handle AJ fairly easily tbh. Do some ineffective cutesy striking moves to waist time then handle him in the clinch and ground. This is a bad matchup for AJ
As awesome as Jones fighting HW would be, I think if Gus and Jones both win their next (and Gus HAS to finish and/or dominate) then Jones will be obligated to rematch Gus. It was pretty much Lyoto/Shogun all over except their rematch got ed by...someones injury, right? (I honestly can't remember what ed it up)
Gus and Jones will fight again.. Gus is too young and skilled to go away.. He is a real fighter with heart..
AJ has immense power but also great accuracy in his boxing, great footwork, great speed, great kicks (I think he did kick boxing or karate, I don't remember which), and great takedown defense.
Watching the presser right now. Being somewhat of an AJ fan makes this loss a lot easier. What kinda did he get into back in the day? Domestic violence, right? I can't imagine it with the way he composes himself.
Also, I forgot, am I the only one that thought it was a complete move of Gegard to point out the bleeding? I seriously doubt it was outta concern. Just ing fight, got
Honestly though Gus was set up by his ignorant corner man. You can see his anguish was surreal and that will fuel his ambition.
Rumble came back from being submitted by Josh Koshchek (lol) and getting demolished by Vitor.
This loss will make Gus stronger than had he won.
And with that, I just scroll past the rest of your takes.
I believe that is my first 0-5 card.
i think I'll just go into the corner over there, and have myself a good cry.
He absolutely is. But sometimes a devastating loss can derail a promising career. The best thing for Gus is to fight DC next. Both coming off emotional losses but will have to be motivated because they are fighting one another. If you put either in there with a lower tier contender they may take it lightly.. A win will get either man right back in the mix..
AJ said he might move up to HW in the future (1:24 mark) as well; already fought at HW against Arlovski and I think one other guy during his stint away from the UFC. So we might get Bones vs Rumble at LHW and Bones vs Rumble at HW.
AJ vs JDS or Cain actually sounds more appetizing than any of them vs Jones. Well, damn, although Cain vs Jones would be fun to watch standing and on the ground
George Satoropolis (or however you spell it) and Rick Story come to mind. We all heard about Sato because of the Siver fight that just happened, but remember when The Horror Story was young, hungry, and scary as sin? I don't remember who he was supposed to fight, but whoever it was had to pull out at the last minute and this no-name guy, Charlie Brenaman, came in on short notice and totally ed Story up. Rick never seemed to be the same after that one.
