Around SBN: Fedor Emelianenko Will Retire After June 21 Fight

Bones Jones vs The Dragon

Aloha all, Just read Suga Rashad Evans won't be fighting Bones Jones at UFC 140 due to his hand injury and not haveing enough time for a proper training camp. Has anyone read anything about the foot injury Bones Jones received from kicking Rampage Jackson at UFC 135?

another easy victory for JBJ. second or third round submission.

some kind of choke.

No way!

Machida is a tough draw man. If Machida is an easy win then everyone at 205 is an easy win for Bones.

they said vlad would be a test. they said bader would be a test. they said rua would be a test.......

they said rampage would be a test. machida is no different. expect boring first round and once JBJ figures out the best way to take down lyoto and submit him with minimal damage to himself and secure the victory with a choke. IMHO.

I'm not going to deny this possibility

I wouldn’t be really surprised if Jones dominates 205 for a few years til he simply can’t make the cut anymore and moves to Heavyweight. But I’m still not about to say such with certainty. No way Bader or The Janitor were tests. That was clear back then. I thought Shogun would be until he showed up fat (and lost as fat Shogun does). Though Rampage isn’t the same fighter he once was, that was impressive just how Jones handled him.

 I think a really good wrestler with power in their hands like Evans is a good test for him too. I think a guy like Machida can be interesting if he can touch Jones. We still don’t know wtf his chin can take. For that matter, I wouldn’t really bet against power hitters like Hendo or a Shogun not coming off a knee surgery with love handles. Not until I see what he can take,.

Buuuuuuuut he does have a 6000 reach and has crazy scary moves, so by all means he might tear through the guys he needs to prove himself as the dominant force he is being promoted as. I personally really look forward to 5 years from now when he is a veteran and has filled into a 250+ lbs frame. That’s going to be awesome.

see the last word in my signature. Tapology. its a new MMA game/contest/message board.

in 7 months 2 other guys and myself are the top pickers in the game. played by thousands of particpants. plus i am #2 all-time soon to be #1 all-time in the standings. see ther is a pick % and a point total. you want both to be high. we just don’t pick the big shows but many regional shows in the northeast, all over canada and sometimes brazil. plus we get to add input b/c the owner is hands on. i have a friend who submitted a colorado mma event and it was approved. so i got sick of mma mania with people accusing me of delting my fanposts. i left there over 5 months ago. everything you do on tapology is locked so you can’t change your picks. i will be back here more often now that i have topped out over there. end of story.

sorry for the long paragraph.

one mistake. i was tired of people on mania accusing me of deleting my fanposts that they said had bad picks in them. never was true but if 4 or 5 people say it often enough the others tend to believe. glad to be back here. its a friendly environment.

i said the game would be close. i took washington and the +7 points. it ended not close in your favor

you guys have a big game with stanford this week. utah has cal and we are only getting 3 points. i saw cal play and the defense is good just like utah’s but the qb kinda sux. injuries have taken a toll. we lost are QB, best WR and best defensive player. that was kinda to be expected b/c we are playing in a much tougher conference in the pac-12. i like keith price alot. i’ll take a dual threat QB in college over a one dimensional one. good luck vs stanford.steve sarkisian is doing a great job. i followed his career as qb of BYU.

Keith Price isn't really a dual threat QB

He can run when he needs to but I think he only has like 90 yards on the year, he’s got bad knees.
At least you guys get to smash Colorado and Arizona, those guys suck balls. The Pac South is kinda weak this year.

he scrambled pretty well when he played us..

we should beat the buffs and beavers at rice-eccles pretty easily. we will take i hope 2 out of three vs cal, wazzou and ucla on the road. it would be great if we could end the career of rick niehusel if/when we beat them at the rose bowl.

I think Slick Rick is getting fired sometime this week.

UCLA lost to Arizona 48 to 12 last night.
Cal and WSU are decent. UCLA is a joke.
USC is good not great (U Dub has owned them the last couple of years)
Oregon State is hot garbage, if you guys don’t win that one I don’t even…..

its probably b/c they have those fridays where posters post the women they wish they could be with.

not sure if they still do it. it was pathetic b/c other than me and one other guy (we posted are real life GF’s) too many kiddies on mania who are basement keyboard warriors. lol.

Am just gonna come out and say it.....

Machida has less than 0% chance of winning. He brings nothing to the table which is sad because he wont even have a blankie for when goes to sleep.

Listen, guys. You can take all these guys with their eighth education and their gold teeth trying to sit around and break down a fight. This is the most unsophisticated and un-well-thoughtout thing you need to do in life. Two half-naked men are gonna get in a steel cage and fight for the applause of a drunken rowdy crowd in Houston, Texas, on a Saturday night. We don't need to plan for this.

Truely a miracle. I would have been less shocked if they cloned T Rexes out of chickens.

All you gotta do is go full darkside.

Convince GSP that you are a “Dangerous striker” so he’ll immediately shoot in on you.
When you’re locked up with him on top, it’s time to go midevil on his face.

very true

He is accustomed to rules when being attacked. I am accustomed to do anything humanly possible to protect myself and hurt my adversary.
