Another thought....is it worse for Jones to not fight Chael with 8 days notice, or Machida refusing to fight Jones on 4 weeks notice? Hate to see this turn into the drama that boxing deals day in and day out. What's next, the challenger is going to request the other to get a blood test done in order to get the fight done, only to have the opponent be scared of needles, and refuse to fight. I know I'm being kinda silly here, but if this is allowed to continue, where is mma heading? This mess really has shaken the ball a bit...
In my opinion, Jones refusing to fight Sonnen is worse than Machida refusing to fight Jones simply because of the direct consequence of the respective decisions. At the end of the day, it can be said that both made a smart decision...the difference of course being the circumstances, Jones was on the hot seat, Machida wasn't. Another thing is Jones had a full camp, at best Machida would've had 3-4 weeks of fight camp.
Wow forgot about this thread, lol the card was surprisely good, can't wait till UFC on fox with Diaz vs Hendo, I might actually watch the New Years card in Vegas Live hopefully no one get hurt
How about Cain?! Really happy he won the belt back. Mainly because I wanna see these two fight more. Although after he throttled JDS like that who knows how long it might take JDS to get another crack at the belt.
I know it's a little off topic, anyone do any MMA training? I'm thinking of joining an MMA gym next month 2 days mui tai, and 2 days MMA grappling, I'm a big guy not really in shape just want some advice if its a good idea.
Anyone going to watch UFC on Fox tomorrow, I'm going for Johnson, Rampage, Pettis I think rampage might lose though he's getting old, but it was an entertaining weigh in
I'll be watching for sure. I haven't had a chance to see the weigh ins yet. Probably after my son goes to bed I will watch it. I'm pulling for Johnson to beat Dodson tomorrow. I can't stand Dodson. He just really annoys me. I really hope Glove takes out Rampage. Rampage has been a real B&^%$ the past few years. He is such a douche. Hopefully it is a good night of fights!
Well Rampage looked old , Johnson looked good especially the 5th round but overall to me it wasn't that of an exciting fight. Btw show time looked awesome that nickname fits him

totally agree.....I really hope that Rampage hangs it up. He was a good coach when he was on TUF maybe he can shift to that. Or try and get A-Team 2 off the ground.

Hey, just saw this. Did you join? My brother trains mma and I adjust the fighters at a local gym. Great exercise and great camaraderie if you get in with a decent gym. Good luck, let us know how it goes!!!

I'm going on Friday to have a look around if I like it I'm gonna start next week, I've always been a fan and I figure if I like it why not train in it. I'm a little nervous because I don't think I'm in good enough shape but I got to start somewhere. Ill post some updates
Back in my golden days, 8 years ago I did Jiu-Jitsu completions at Ohio Grappling challenges and Arnold fitness classic, I trained at Ohio sports Academy under Dustin Ware, which gym was Affilated with Jorge Gurgel and Rich Franklin. That's when I was a young 170, damn I miss those days.

Haha! Just noticed your signature Ray Ray all day.
Figured I'd bump this thread...gotta a decent card tonight on UFC 159. Any thoughts on how the Jones vs Sonnen fight will go? I don't see it lasting very long, with Bones on top. I think the Nelson vs. Kongo fight will be a good one...I got Nelson on top for that one...
It should be a good night of fights. Hopefully it is as good as last weekends fights. I got Jones taking this one. I really want to say TKO in round 1, but, Chael just might survive until round 2. Also, since Jones is supposed to win this fight easily, That probably means Chael will pull off the upset. I see Big County KO'ing Kongo in the first. I also hope Belcher takes out Bisping. I have never liked that Brit.
