Jones by KO in the 2nd, either way this is probably the biggest fight in UFC on 5 years at least.

Rumble just lit Phil Davis up, looks so good at 205, no idea why he kept trying to make 170 for so long.

 

[Jono078]

I think Anthony Johnson vs Cormier for #1 contender after Gustaffson would be a good fight.

 

[KiWi_BoI_15]

Rumble Johnson looked awesome, he's got that calm stone cold killer feel about him, stuffed all of phil Davis' takedowns and let his weapons go! I was going for Glover today but what can you say bout jones, uses knees, elbows EVERYTHING! So creative in the cage!

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Hats off to Jones he proved me wrong.

Seriously though how dumb does Phil Davis look now? Completely overlooked Rumble and had eyes only for Jon Jones and copped a mother of a hiding from Rumble.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

One of the best KO's I've ever seen today by Johnny Eduardo over Eddie Wineland. So clean

 

[aqua_duck]

Wow Barao got absolutely smoked by TJ Dillashaw, didn't look a fraction of his usual self, the weight cut must have been a massive factor

 

[Jack_Napier]

Saw the highlights on the post fight show and wow. TJ has looked great since bang Ludwig took over at Alpha Male. Movement and crisp technical striking mixed with his wrestling and he's been on a tear. Did not expect him to run through Barao tho, Barao looked confused and lost.

Lawler looked angry as f**k from what I saw as well.

 

[aqua_duck]

From all reports Barao had a really really tough weight cut but I don't think anyone really knew how tough, he looked horrible out there like deer in the headlights stuff, he definitely didn't resemble the fighter who'd previously cleaned out most of the division. I expected Dillashaw's wrestling to give Barao a few problems but he dominated him everywhere.

 

[Jack_Napier]

Yeah TJ's striking and angles were what I expected Renan to do. First loss in 9 years, gotta really sting that loss.

 

[shiznit]

What the f**k was that?? :shock:

I've seen all of TJ's fights since the ultimate fighter...

He certainly improved since Ludwig took over...

But this... WOW!!

Where the hell did that come from??

That was like watching Anderson Silva at his peak... The footwork, the angles... Just WOW!!!

Weight cut or not... Barao was just destroyed...

Just...

Also DC... He's the real deal... he HAS to get the winner of the Bones v Gus II fight.

And Lawler... WHAT A BEAST!!!

 

[The Cobra]

great to see the so called best striker in UFC completely dominated by TJ.I thought TJ was great after the fight as well whereas Baroa hardly even gave Dillishaw any credit.Typical arrogant Brazillian,they think they own MMA.

 

[pennywisealfie]

they do

 

[Fufu Andronez]

missed this one sounds like an awesome card. Cormier is in BeastMode.

 

[Jack_Napier]

Anyone else think Money Mendes will pull out a Dillashaw performance against Aldo in there up coming fight?

The improvement in the Aplha camps striking since Ludwig took over has been massive. We all know Mendes will have the Cardio to go all day and he's lighting quick as well. Aldo is up there in P4P talk so he'll be expected to win and most probably will, just a little food for thought with TJ'S stunning performance over Barao.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

f**k! The one fight I have been looking forward to most over the years has been called off.

Chael vs Wand is off due to some drug testing thing and now it's Belfort vs Chael

 

[MrAnonymous]

Lol @ that Pearson-Sanchez decision, f**king shady shit.

 

[ggmu]

Was such a bad call in the Pearson fight I thought it was pretty clear cut. Couldn't believe my ears when one judge had it 30-27 to Sanchez.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Home town decision for sure. These judges are like the video refs can't get shit right

 

[Fufu Andronez]

f**k! The one fight I have been looking forward to most over the years has been called off.

Chael vs Wand is off due to some drug testing thing and now it's Belfort vs Chael

Well that's fallen to shit. Wanderlei not taking the test, Sonnen failing the drug test and now Sonnen announcing his retirement.

Who knows what's happening with Vitor.
