So Bisping's TDD is better than Jones'? He barely got him down and did nothing when he did it was short lived.

Rashad also knows from practice that he couldn't get him down. Jones even said in an interview that Rashad was so pumped up one practice because he took him down once! Apparently that was the only time - so there ya go.

You'll see ... If I'm wrong I'll be the first to admit it and like SHIZ said about the cage grinding, I said earlier that's his ONLY chance and it's a pretty small one to do that in this fight.


* that thumb dislocation was pretty gross

I'm not saying he has better TDD, but Bisping has had his TDD tested before and it is very good. Nobody has really ever tried to take Jones down like Chael will.

why did they have to show that so long, once was enough

Ugh I'm so torn.

I like Jones and recognize his talent, but I think Chael is criminally underrated by a lot of people just due to him running his mouth (general public.) Think I'm pulling for Chael in this one though.

Hopefully it's a good fight.

Belcher/Bisping should hopefully be quite a fight.

So Leonard Garcia should now be 1-11 in his last 12 fights. Funny enough the only fight he should have one was the Holloway fight which the judges gave to Holloway. Karma for all those WEC fights and the Phan fight I guess.

Miller and Healy look like brothers.

I'm pulling for Chael 100%, love listening to him talk.

Yeah, someone on Twitter just said "Healy looks more like Jim Miller's brother than Jim Miller's brother does."
