BassThumb Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Spoiler Alert!!!!!!!! : Haha, I always watch them at midnight or the morning after on the web. MMA Fight Videos Online.blogspot or MMATKO are the places to go. I had a feeling Jones was gonna get his butt whipped...Broken Bones Jones!! Good thing I'm not a bettin' man. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted March 20, 2011 Super User Posted March 20, 2011 That was IMPRESSIVE ! ! ! Johnny Bones Jones is a STUD ! Shogun looked lost . . . and a bit out of shape maybe even a little soft. Either way it is Scarey to imagine that Jones will get better ! A-Jay Quote
BassThumb Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 It's up for anybody who's interested. It's a decent quality video, and an amazing performance by the new champ. http://mmafightvideosonline.blogspot.com/ Quote

A-Jay it also looked like to me Jones slowed down to Shoguns pace in the fight. too bad the guy wont drop down to 205......that would be exciting. Quote
WanderLust Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Jones is the next evolution of MMA. Hopefully he doesn't let the relationship with Evans get in his head and destroys him as well. Jones should be a Champ for a long, long time. Shogun got mauled; I bet its been a while since he was dominated so completely. Quote
BassThumb Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Now there have been 7 Light Heavyweight champs in a 9 fight span since Chuck Liddell lost the title he owned for so long. Seems like Liddell put a curse on the belt. Quote

Seems like Liddell put a curse on the belt. Jones is a cat of a different color. He has some pretty rare tools in MMA. If he continues to push he'll be dominate for a long time. Phil Davis could be quite a contender down the road. I would have like to see him versus Matt Hamill to get a gauge of similar foes. Should be very interesting to say the least. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted March 22, 2011 Super User Posted March 22, 2011 impressive no... a good fight ya ,,impressive woulda been jones taken Shogun out in 30 seconds in the first round .i see jones winning a few streaks till the next best fighter comes along .this is how MMA fighting is Quote
northern basser Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 The talented fighters with an unorthadox or unpredictable style are dangerous. Jones is definitely one of them. Quote
shootermcbob Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Jones is only 23. He is just scratching the surface. Add in the abominable 84 inch reach...which is 10-12 inches longer than most opponents...and you have the makings of a very formidable champion. How hard he works on his game will be the key. If he constantly tries to improve in all areas he will be difficult to stop. I have seen him fight a few times now. It will also be interesting to see what happens the first time he gets tagged. I have not seen anyone hit him with clean shot...yet. He is good and can get better. No one is unbeatable. Remember, it has just been two years or so that Machida was supposedly "unbeatable" Quote
shootermcbob Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Just watched it again. Two things really stood out to me...the first is Jones' reach. Shogun could never get close to him to connect. The second is Jones' power. He just physically manhandled Rua Add in that Shogun looked tired BEFORE the fight even started, and it was total domination for Jones. Quote
