UFC 135: Jones vs Rampage tonite! [thread]

[necroplasm]

funny as hell what Jones did at the end of the 2nd round...

Edit: nvm, may have been in the 3rd...where he slung rampage off his back

I figured Jones would win, Jackson had no reason to be there.

[Wanderlai]

Jones needs to be pressured. No one has did that yet, they all let him use his reach advantage and let him dictate the pace ala Anderson Silva. Sonnen took the fight to Silva and put him the closest the L common . As a style matchup I think Machine has the best shot at defeating him. I actually think Rashad has a better chance than Rampage did due to him being faster and a very good wrestler.

[Fright]

I think 'Shad has a better shot too, but I'm figuring the out come will be close to what we saw w/ Rampage. Maybe not a submission, but a lop-sided fight.

Rashad is gonna get his ass whooped.

[Reapuh]

I think Evans has a better shot than Rampage did.

Yep, Evans will move and is faster than Rampage. Rampage,now, just relies on standing and boxing...completely one dimensional.

I remember when Pride vs UFC was actually a debate.

How does this one fight prove any different? When you consider quite a few of the top guys in the UFC are former Pride fighters, it still is a debate.

Considering Pride doesn't exist anymore that part can't be a debate but your point is right. There are quite a few of the top guys in the last few years in UFC that were Pride guys. Rampage, Shogun, Hendo, to name a few and many others have appeared in Pride. The reality is that the Pride guys are getting older, that simple.

That was the point I was trying to make.

[Wanderlai]

I'd like to see that in the Japan show. I'd imagine a lot of the Pride guys will be on that card. Rampage is campaigning for a fight vs Shogun.
