[The TroutBum]

Jon Jones (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/jon-jones) vs. Alexander Gustafsson (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/alexander-gustafsson) - I picked Wiedman, so why the shit not?
Renan Barao (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/renan-barao) vs. Eddie Wineland (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/eddie-wineland) - I hate Barao with a passion, but he's good. I'd be happy to lose this one.
Matt Mitrione (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/matt-mitrione) vs. Brendan Schaub (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/brendan-schaub) - LOL, Hybrid.
Francis Carmont (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/francis-carmont) vs. Constantinos Philippou (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/constantinos-philippou) - Meh.
Pat Healy (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/pat-healy) vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/khabib-nurmagomedov) - I love me some Pat, but I'm feeling Khabib.

[djohn14]

Im a big Fan of Alex the Mauler, but Bones is my boy. He has been since he beat Andre Gusmao way back when. Just such a well rounded freak.

Other picks:
Barao
Im picking Vera in a battle of two guys I hate
Carmont
And Khabib

[Cry Havoc]

Jones does everything better than Alex. That said, Jones isn't used to having to deal with someone who can match him in reach. Still think he takes this, but Alex is a couple of good punches away from being in control of the fight. Barring those borderline lucky shots though, Jones dominates the entire fight.

[dbreiden83080]

Jones will test himself on the feet here a bit with Alex just to prove he can hang and then he will take him down and wreck Alex with his amazing GNP and subs. Jones VIA round 2 submission..

Myles Jury (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/myles-jury) vs. Mike Ricci (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/mike-ricci)

Really not interested in that HW fight between Mit and Schaub so I'll go with this fight instead. 2 young fighters with potential.

[djohn14]

Finally ordering a UFC fight for the first time in a while. I hope bones does something sick!

[ace3g]

Bones adding to his sponsors list

http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2013/09/gatorade-debuts-as-sponsor-of-light-heavyweight-champ-jon-jones-at-ufc-165

[djohn14]

Gatorade is a big time sports sponsor. Great for Bones and for the sport.

[txstr1986]

Jon Jones v. Alexander Gustafsson - hard to bet against the champ, but I do think that Gustafsson has the best chance of pulling the upset of any of the recent Jones fights.

Renan Barao v. Eddie Wineland - I like Eddie, he's a very entertaining fighter, but I just can't see him beating Barao.

Brendan Schaub v. Matt Mitrione - I know, I know, "lol Hybrid". But Mitrione is garbage. The fact that these guys are on the main card shows how shallow the HW division is.

Constantinos Philippou v. Francis Carmont - Philippou looks better and better each time I watch him fight.

Pat Healy v. Khabib Nurmagomedov - For this reason (and the fact that he's awesome) http://www.mmajunkie.com/files/thumb/58809/0

[ace3g]

This had to be the slowest weigh ins ever, took like 5 min to read each fighter on the scale.

[CubanSucks]

Just watched the countdown and I'm kind of a fan of Phil Davis now. I didn't care for him before because just like Jones he has that stupid black slave strength, but couldn't help but like him. He sounds like a genuine guy unlike Jones who always desperately tries to put on a cool factor.

[polandprzem]

Jon Jones (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/jon-jones) vs. Alexander Gustafsson (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/alexander-gustafsson) - for light-heavyweight title


IMO Alex is the guy that can beat jones. but not now, not at the moment. Jones fights really long while Alex is not. I wonder what gameplan is there for Gustafsson. I wish him the best and I hope he will win. But my prediction goes to the champion bleh.



Renan Barao (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/renan-barao) vs. Eddie Wineland (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/eddie-wineland) - for interim bantamweight title


Wideman or Wineland ... what's the difference? Vs Brazilian huh?

yea well for real I know how fantastic barao is, but fuck it




Matt Mitrione (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/matt-mitrione) vs. Brendan Schaub (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/brendan-schaub)

Pat Healy (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/pat-healy) vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/khabib-nurmagomedov)


It's gonna be great fight

Chris Clements (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/chris-clements) vs. Stephe (http://www.mmajunkie.com/fighters/stephen-thompson)n Thompson

go Thompson go - I just hope he made some progress in mma and will land some unorthodox strikes

[txstr1986]

What with all these Polish dudes fighting in the UFC????

:p:

[polandprzem]

What with all these Polish dudes fighting in the UFC????

:p:

Well if the UFC wants to be in Europe, Poland is wanted market. The rumors are still UFC Poland 2014. We will see.
We do have the best mma organization in Europe and hype for it because of Pudzianowski fighting ... :)

It all changing here. 5 years ago nobody knew what mma is, but now the mma schools are opening and even my mom and aunt that works in school /not mma one ;p/ knows what is this. /more or less/.

Hmm, unfortunately our best fighter wants to fight in Poland and IMO he is top10 MW ...


Oh well

[dbreiden83080]

Alright ppv is ordered ready for this shit..

[ace3g]

sambo domination

[dbreiden83080]

For the next fight I picked Mitrione but who knows? Both guys have holes in their games but I am betting Schaub's chin will give out on him..

[ace3g]

jeez mit don't knock down the cage before the fight even starts, lol

[Brunodf]

:wowBig upset

Oh well

I know. My wife's family is from Poland and I went there for vacation a few years ago. Great country and I can totally see several great mma Polish fighters in a few years.

[ace3g]

nice spinning back kick and finish

[Brunodf]

Dana should give Barao the real belt if Cruz still can't fight in 3 months

[ace3g]

main event time!!!

[ace3g]

Gatorade shorts!!!

[txstr1986]

Gatorade shorts!!!

And nike!

[Brunodf]

Stupid gameplan JBJ :bang

[benefactor]

Jones lost that round badly.

[benefactor]

Even round that time.

[Brunodf]

JBJ is lucky that Gusta is already tired... Time to takedown and sub

[Brunodf]

Round 1: Gusta

Round 2: Close

Round 3: JBJ

[benefactor]

Gustafsson wins another round. Getting interesting.

[benefactor]

:lol...he didn't win round 3.

[ace3g]

awesome end to that round!!!

[benefactor]

...and there's the elbow. It only takes one.

[benefactor]

Great fight.

[Brunodf]

Time to finish it JBJ

[ace3g]

Great fight.

+1

[benefactor]

Best fight I've seen in a long, long time. No matter what a rematch is definitely on the books.

[01Snake]

I'd say Jones lost. I'm sure they will give it to him though.

[benefactor]

Man, Gustafsson is one tough bastard. I can't believe he survived that elbow after seeing it on the replay.

[benefactor]

I'd say Jones lost. I'm sure they will give it to him though.
Two is the toss up round. Jones won the last two.

[01Snake]

Typical. I don't think he won that.

[benefactor]

49-46?

They need to get rid of some of these fucking judges.

[LakerHater]

ROOBED!!

FUCK DANA!

[resistanze]

Close decisions never go to the challenger.

[ace3g]

definitely wasn't unanimous

[resistanze]

48-47, gustaf

[txstr1986]

Close decisions never go to the challenger.

Yep

[benefactor]

I think Gustafsson can take him in a rematch. He clearly has the speed advantage and Jones can't take him down.

[Thebesteva]

LOL MMA turning slowly into boxing

1 Main event
4 shit preliminary no namers
Controversial decisions
No one going for the KO anymore

[Thebesteva]

BTW remember only a few years ago the free card on TV was

Rampage V Hendo
Cro Cop V Gonzaga
Arlovski V Werdum

[dbreiden83080]

WOW is all I can say..

One of the best fights I have seen. For the Jones haters all great champs in history get pushed when you fight everyone without ducking any tough fights. Ali had wars and is the GOAT. Jones will get better as a result of this..

[ernest787]

great fight!!!!

i think it was a coin flip, but the champ always gets the benefit of the doubt.

[dbreiden83080]

No one going for the KO anymore

LMFAO

What???

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Jones would lose to Anderson /thread

[benefactor]

If Gustafsson doesn't get caught and rocked badly by that elbow he wins a split decision. That and the late takedown by Jones decided the fight.

[jimo2305]

that was a great title fight

now that i think about it.. i remember after rd 2 saying that jones won..

so really jones won the last 3 rounds

although 49-46? i didnt know cj ross had a new gig with ufc

[Brunodf]

Round 1: Gusta

Round 2: Close

Round 3: JBJ

Round 4: Close

Round 5: JBJ

[ace3g]

LOL MMA turning slowly into boxing

1 Main event
4 shit preliminary no namers
Controversial decisions
No one going for the KO anymore

Those hooks by Gust and elbows by Bones....

[Brunodf]

Close decisions never go to the challenger.
Edgar vs Bendo

[ace3g]

So immediate rematch? or Glover/Cormier?

[dbreiden83080]

Jones got rounds 4 and 5 the first 3 were real pick em rounds.. I was 60/40 on who would win when they read it thinking that Jones would maybe win a SD..

[dbreiden83080]

So immediate rematch? or Glover/Cormier?

I'd do the Glover fight Alex is not going anywhere they can build this rematch up a bit.. An automatic rematch is not needed when the champ kept the belt but obviously I want to see it again..

[Brunodf]

So immediate rematch? or Glover/Cormier?
Rematch

[dbreiden83080]

Sherdog had it for Jones

[dbreiden83080]

Jones wins 49-46 on Bloody Elbow and MMA fighting had it 48-47 Jones..

[ace3g]

Brett Okamoto @bokamotoESPN
(http://twitter.com/bokamotoESPN)Jones was loaded into a stretcher and is presumably being taken to the hospital. Far worse shape than Alex, who conducted a few interviews.

With him limping after the fight (not the first time) wouldn't surprise me if he gets stress fractures after most fights with the amount of kicks he throws.

[LkrFan]

that was a great title fight

now that i think about it.. i remember after rd 2 saying that jones won..

Forget the fight, who is det in your sig? :wow

[elemento]

The elbow in the 4th round and the takedown in the 5th were decisive. To me Gustaf was winning until the middle of the 4th round.

[dbreiden83080]

Title fights that go the distance are all about those championship rounds of 4 and 5. Gus really had Jones going in the 4th but Jones refused to quit and made a late push in that round and the 5th that won him the fight.. Heart all heart..

[ace3g]

UFC @ufc
(http://twitter.com/ufc)Jon Jones joins Anderson Silva, Georges St-Pierre, and Royce Gracie as the only fighters in UFC history to earn ten consecutive wins.

People talking controversy if anything the controversy would have been if he lost since almost all the media thought he did enough to win..

why the fuck is he wearing headphones?

[polandprzem]

Well he will make up a story about them ... IDk being a good charm after fights or something....


Warrior spirit more important then the win? Give the belt away :)


I was positive that Alex is the guy to beat Jones but not just yet. It seems that well he could take it. And the reach counted. Bones can stay in distance and not being hit by others, I was surprised Alex could make constant damage.
Jones was unable to take Alex down. Amazing for a guy that is not from wrestling background.

Fuck Jon Jones



Lavigne did stop the fight too early. God damn Wineland was winning that shit :pctoss



Omielańczuk won but the fight was a disaster. In Poland they made a big deal out of the fight. Interviews and stuff, million commercials and they showed the fight 3 times. 4 when you count the one after Jones-Gusstafsson. :rolleyes

[polandprzem]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VNqjBEnxnQc

[polandprzem]

I know. My wife's family is from Poland and I went there for vacation a few years ago. Great country and I can totally see several great mma Polish fighters in a few years.

Where you have been? I mean what city?

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Bottom line Gus was going great through 3 rounds but Jones took the fight in the last 2..
Bro it's okay. Your hero got whooped. He wouldn't best Anderson and this is coming from someone who posts regularly on mmajunkie

[UZER]

Gus right hand was to low the entire fight. I knew one of those spinning elbows was gonna land eventually.

Great great fight. I wanted Gus to win, but Jones took control late 4th and 5th. People always get confused into thinking fighter A won just because fighter B took the most damage he's ever taken. Happens all the time.

[txstr1986]

Krakow, it was a blast.

Anderson who? Oh yeah the guy in my sig..

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

The guy that is 10x the counter striker Gus is who coincidentally destroyed Jones in the stand-up by countering lol

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Looks like Jones isn't all that when he fights someone his size

[polandprzem]

Krakow, it was a blast.

Kraków is great. I have family in Karków.
But if it's possible try to visit Gdansk and TriCity :) -> so we can also meet :)

He just got KTFO by Weidman.. Is Weidman a great striker? He also got his ass handed to him for 23 min by Sonnen.. The same Sonnen Jones abused and humiliated.. Styles makes fights and nobody has the answer to all styles to the degree that you will win and always look great..

[txstr1986]

Jon Jones v. Alexander Gustafsson - hard to bet against the champ, but I do think that Gustafsson has the best chance of pulling the upset of any of the recent Jones fights.

Renan Barao v. Eddie Wineland - I like Eddie, he's a very entertaining fighter, but I just can't see him beating Barao.

Brendan Schaub v. Matt Mitrione - I know, I know, "lol Hybrid". But Mitrione is garbage. The fact that these guys are on the main card shows how shallow the HW division is.

Constantinos Philippou v. Francis Carmont - Philippou looks better and better each time I watch him fight.

Pat Healy v. Khabib Nurmagomedov - For this reason (and the fact that he's awesome) http://www.mmajunkie.com/files/thumb/58809/0

4-1, just moving on up in those rankings...

[dbreiden83080]

Looks like Jones isn't all that when he fights someone his size

And there are a whole crew of 6'5 stud strikers with great TDD and incredible chins just lined up to take his belt..

I literally hear those guys grow on trees. Pretty cool..

He was toying with him and got caught. He destroyed Sonnen in the rematch and don't forget Sonnen was on roids in the first fight and got subbed. Styles make fights and Anderson is way better in the stand up then Gus. Gus also has poor tdd

Considering jones wants to move to heavyweight I'd say yeah he may have trouble

[dbreiden83080]

How many HW's have the unique package that Alex has? And Jones should stay at LHW anyway for a while he has lots of challengers.

Silva has never fought anyone like Gus at MW in the UFC and he only fought easy style fight for himself at LHW in the UFC. Forrest no chin Griffin is not the beast that Alex is and his TDD was stellar last night. It's called improving..

[CubanSucks]

Jones at HW would be beautiful for Jones haters like me. JDS would've finished what Gus couldn't't and Cain would be even more brutal. I'd probably even take Travis Browne

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Are you kidding me?

Travis Browne, Alistair Overeem, Junior dos Santos, Cain Velasquez and Daniel Cormier would all beat him easy.

You must be high.

He front-kicked Vitor Belfort. He also beat Marquardt in his prime, along with Rich Franklin (twice in his prime), Sonnen twice, Henderson, Leben, Forrest (who was coming off being the LHW champ), etc.

[dbreiden83080]

Are you kidding me?

Travis Browne, Alistair Overeem, Junior dos Santos, Cain Velasquez and Daniel Cormier would all beat him easy.

DC is short and would get picked apart like Rashad did..
Overeem have you watched him fight lately or is this a troll job?
Dos Santos is a huge threat obviously
Cain is not a threat to Jones on the feet but would be on the ground
Browne is not well rounded enough for Jones.

And Jones beat the shit out of Shogun, Rampage, Rashad, Sonnen, Vera, Bader, Vitor what's your point? The Silva love is about 1 year too late..

Jones would take him down and destroy him. You saw what Sonnen did to Silva and how Jones manhandled Sonnen like a child. Easy fight to pick..

[dbreiden83080]

why the fuck is he wearing headphones?

Everything you see a fighter wear in the Octagon after a fight is Sponsor related..

[jimo2305]

He was toying with him and got caught. He destroyed Sonnen in the rematch and don't forget Sonnen was on roids in the first fight and got subbed. Styles make fights and Anderson is way better in the stand up then Gus. Gus also has poor tdd

just clarifying.. it's not as if he just juiced up before the fight.. he takes the steroids for therapeutic use.. he was found for having elevated testosterone levels but what he did wrong was fail to report it properly

actualy no, with TRT the level should only go a few above the normal. he surpass that limit.

Jon Bones Jones @JonnyBones
(http://twitter.com/JonnyBones)Just got back from a MRI, Great news! my foot is not broken or fractured.. Focusing on a full recovery

[ace3g]

Looks like Bones will fight Glover next

http://espn.go.com/mma/story/_/id/9725352/jon-jones-defend-ufc-title-glover-teixeira

[Cry Havoc]

What a fight. Let them fight someone else, then build the anticipation for Jones vs. Gust II.

[polandprzem]

They should deduct a point from Jones for what he does with his fingers.

Damn it needs to change. Close the fists!. Now refs are just telling fighters but like grabbing the fence there need to be warnings and then points taken away !

[dbreiden83080]

Fans today just suck IMO.. Instead of talking about how great the fight was and the heart Jones showed people just leap ahead and project stupid bullshit..

"This guy would whip Jones and that guy would whoop Jones, stay at LHW you bitch"

Fans today are just assholes..

Unfortunately, but IMO Jones deserved some of this cause of his behavior. people do not like him much.
Btw. It was not only Jones who showed the heart. Not get me wrong , Jones is the guy who wants to show that kind of stuff to people just to prove he has the heart and he can do this he can do that. Do not talk about it Jones. God.

But yea too much bullshit around.

Jones has been extremely respectful of everyone he has fought so I don't know what behavior you are referring to? The DUI was embarrassing but it's not a reason to constantly hate on him either. The Jones hate IMO has come from him destroying a lot of legends and making it look easy. Plus he is very confident which people take as arrogant but anyone who is at the top of any profession has that ego even if you bury it deep down and try not to let on.. But when I see an amazing fight like that and log on to MMA sites and see dozens of threads bashing Jones and saying he better stay away from all these fighters now I just have to shake my head..

[polandprzem]

Jones is fake. Now maybe not that much as he used to but you can feel it. He is arrogant. No excuses. He tries to persuade ppl how good he is and all :rolleyes

F him, I don't like him but so what. There are fighters that I hate and can't stand. Jones is just irritating. :)
