      Kos didn't say anything wrong for once (not that it was nice to say but you can't disagree with it) and still got booed.

      Jones coming out drunken monkey style.
      Think it's going to take something creative to beat him. Machida can bust out his sumo. If that don't work bring on Anderson Silva.

        Against Evans, it will be probably the same with the kicks and a bigger range advantage.
        At least Evans realizes this is MMA and is willing to try something other than standing in front of his opponent, content to box while being absolutely ineffective.

        I don't get why Jackson won't engage in an MMA fight; go to boxing if you just want to stand there and wang.

          Honestly, wth is Machida gonna do against Jones? Machida will be put to sleep by Jones if they ever fight, mark this post.

          The best challenger is Shad, which I have been saying for a while, I apologize. Shad isn't a one-dimensional offensive fighter like Rampage is, and he has great wrestling and take down defense. Shad also knows Jon Jones obviously better than anyone (been harping on this), and Jon Jones' coaching situation might be thrown askew. His mental fortitude will be tested the most in his next fight.

          God I hate Rampage and what he's become. He does absolutely nothing but try and hit a HR every time. Nothing else. IDC what other people say about his wins against Hammill and Machida, I still to this day haven't been impressed by a Rampage fight in a long time.

          Note to Dana: never ever put that **** on the main card ever again. I'm referring to a guy who was sub 500 and a Ben Rothwell who shouldn't even be in the UFC to begin with. That was embarrassing to the company and to the sport.

          Also never every manufacture hatred like that ever again either. Calling Jones back to get on the mic to say something to Evans. That was very cheap and uncalled for. SMH.

            I don't think he would enjoy too much success in boxing. Did you see those wild a*s punches ?

              Fell's I think that after tonight we have seen that its is going to be tough for someone to come in and beat Bones. He is simply to big for anyone at 205. i do think that he does have holes in his game, but at this point with him being so atheletic and unconventional the margin for error is greater for the people that he is going to be facing. Yes Rampage does move like Frankenstien we know this, but he could not get anywhere close to him and neither could Shogun. Is it safe to say that the only challenges for him the only challenges he may face is at HW and the person he looks at in the mirror.

                Machida has just as much if not more for Jones as Evans does. First off - his stand up is far, far better. His wrestling defense it outstanding, and his trips are absolutely incredible. Machida is about as dangerous as they come.

                  Machida stays on the outside as it is, and he damn well isn't going to get anywhere near Jones to get trips or dangerous punches in. He's gonna get put to sleep like he did against Rua.

                  Jones will keep him on the outside and Machida won't have any way of taking him down, striking him or doing much of anything offensively.

                          It's not even the fact that Bones is too big.. it's the fact that he has an god-like reach advantage over anyone he faces and he knows how to properly use it.

                          Coupled with amazing defensive and offensive wrestling.. yeah, good luck.

                          Maybe if Machida magically gained 10 inches of reach he might be able to beat Bones though. Until then, he just eats jabs and leg kicks all day while making it to a decision.

                            That was awful. So awkward. WWEsque, expect they do it far better.

                              Dana always shying and giving the business approach when answering the question about super fights.

                                I loved how they had Rashad there, I don't mind that one bit. Or even letting hims say a few words, I like that.

                                It was just bizarre that Joe called Jones back and had them face off like they were about to fight. Let Jones enjoy his moment sheesh. Also felt bad for Evans. Jones acted like a spoiled kid saying Evans ruined his special night twice. WTF? I was cracking up at that. What did Evans say tonight other than it was a good fight.

                                I hope Quinton gets his fight with Shogun, although I don't know how that would work. Unless Shogun loses against Hendo. It's strange that Quinton hasn't fought Rua in the UFC.
