UFC 235: Jones v Smith

Re: UFC 235: Jones v Smith

Woodley lost this fight because he isn't fighting. He's keeping his back on the fence against a wrestler and not even punching.

Yh that fighting off the back foot isn't too smart against that style of wrestler. I saw Usman winning like this with that grinding style if he did win, but I must say i'm impressed though. His wrestling is even better than I thought. He won every single round. You know Dana's happy as hell lol.

Dana is happy Woodley is done, but Usman has to do something on the ground. Woodley had nothing and he didn't look to end the fight. Dana won't like a boring decision champ.

He has the skills, take chances to end the fight.

Jones wins

(c|-850|$1.1x|9/10)

Jon Jones > Anthony Smith
(#3|+650|$7.5x|1/10)


Jones perhaps has the highest fight IQ. He is also creative and is proficient at controlling distance.
Smith is the biggest underdog on this card. Although not likely, Smith can definitely catch Jones with his speed and experience. Like Jones, Smith is effective in the clinch and long range strikes.

Prediction: Jones by DEC.

___

Result: Jones by DEC (48-44)

4-2

Yh he has that lay n pray style and even on the cage he does the same. He'll just grind it out. In situations where a guy is in dominant position you can't really stand it up, but yh you gotta work to do damage or improve position. It still seems like a very grey area in the sport when it comes to what the ref stands you up for though. Either way, Woodley had to also do something though. Its like after that dominant 2nd round where Usman mounted him for almost the entire round, he became extremely gun shy and worried about the wrestling.

I got Jones by TKO GnP. If Smith wins, its a KO/TKO.

If Smith had just won by DQ due to the illegal knee would he have become champion?

He should have quit. It would serve Jones right for all his fouls and PEDs.

Since it was an intentional foul, it would have been a DQ win for Smith.

Are you sure? Because apparently you can win UFC titles off DQ wins.

If Smith really would've won the championship off a DQ win, I think it would be in his interest to take the championship. He didn't want to 'steal' the title.

Thats what I was wondering too. Other than that, good showing by Jones though. Fought smart and didn't take any crazy risk.

He would have won the championship and there would be a rematch.

Financially it was a stupid move to not stay down.

Re: UFC 235: Jones v Smith

Was watching the main card again today and other than Cody's silly tactics, man I gotta say Woodley was a little disappointing to watch. He's better than that man. Like I know he likes to fight off the back foot, but why are you constantly backing up against a grappling heavy pressure fighter and giving him exactly what he wants? Not taking anything away from Usman though, cuz he showed last night that he is a whole different animal when it comes to wrestling/grappling. No one has ever been able to out grapple Woodley like that. He's gonna be a problem for lots of guys at WW.
