Then there are no such fighters out there that fit your bill outside of MAYBE Rashad.

I guess you can include King Mo or Phil Davis though, but only Rashad has a good, well rounded game while King Mo and Phil Davis are still rounding out their skills.

Maybe when Bones moves up to HW Daniel Cormier could fit your bill.

Yeah, I don't think there is anyone in the division. Rashad probably has the best shot. He's the most well rounded and I think he could out wrestle him...but getting close enough to do it is a whole other thing and despite his slimmer body type Jones still out-muscles bulkier guys. I don't think Davis is ready, I guess we'll see.

That Mir/Nog fight was something else. I really didn't expect Nog to have much for Mir tonight, but he was sharp and I thought he had knocked Mir out when he rocked him. That's a hell of a recovery by Mir to come back and win that quickly, and no doubt he snapped his arm as well. Awesome fight. Some of the earlier comments said it should have been stopped when Nog was hurt, but that's a moot point when Mir won the fight. It's over when you can't win anymore, he was rocked but he recovered. Although Nog helped out by trying to grapple instead of keeping the pressure on with punches.

Jon Jones is really good. GOAT calls are still far, far too early but he's taking out everyone and he's had one of the best years in MMA history this past year. I think he beat Rampage, Machida, and Shogun all in one year.. that's nuts. I still pick Rashad to beat him, but that's a great fight and I can't wait to see it.

I was a bit bummed about Hominick going down so quick. I like the Zombie and Hominick, but Mark's on such a rough stretch it sucked to see him get dropped like that so fast. I scored the Ebersole fight for him, but that was crazy close.. you can't call robbery either way, the boos were more for the Canadian fighter losing. Tito losing sucked, I've always been a HBBB fan and marked out for "THE PEOPLE'S CHAMPION" call by Bruce Buffer.. hopefully they give him a Chris Lytle-like send off. Maybe against Stephan Bonnar.

Great night of fights. I've never squeaked like a girl so much like I did for the Mir/Nog fight, first when I realized it wasn't over and again when he destroyed Nog's arm.

I had Patrick winning, but it was close.
I swore it looked like he tapped live though.

Rashad isn't beating Jones. I said that when they first scheduled the fight. 2 injuries later he's still not gonna do it. I thought Machida had the best chance and he was doing well enough then he got taken down. Even when people get in on Jones he'll just take 'em down and throw dem 'bos. Gonna need one bbbbbbbiiiiiiigggggg punch or kick to get Jones.

Great show from Mir. If he could be his best all the time that'd make things very intresting.

I expected that's what would happen with Jung and Homminick,just didn't expect it'd happen that fast.

Is the post-fight press conference cutting in and out for anyone else?

Yeah it was for me, completely unbearable. Feels like I am watching it on dial up.

yeah they posted on their twitter page, to use the feed on the facebook page it wasn't cutting in and out.

[TheShizNo1]

O yea, I'm a big Nog fan, but he deserved to lose. He had Mir down and out, instead of going for the finish, it seemed like he hesitated, then went for his back. Shoulda went for the kill.

No one in the LHW division can beat Jones right now. Maybe in the future - and maybe someone outside who just hasn't popped in yet will be the one, but right now... nadda.

It'll be interesting to see how his story line pans out.

They're gonna need one of those Monks that fight blind and Mazagatti being the ref.

Still wanna see Jones vs. Mousasi. It'd be intresting while they're on their feet,for however long that is. Stanislav Nedkov is 12-0 but looking through the list I really don't see anyone that can deal with Jones.

Cmon bro, Jones has made mince meat out of some pretty good wrestlers at their own game. Mousasi would be elbowed to his death on the mat.

Until Mousasi proves he can improve that TDD, aint no way he has a chance vs. Bones.

Re: UFC 140 - Jones v. Machida- Dec. 10

Mousasi wouldn't make it a round against Jones.

Re: UFC 140 - Jones v. Machida- Dec. 10

I agree. Gegard wouldn't do much more than anyone else has so far.
