Chael Sonnen Vs Jon Jones

Mr. Manager

Who the fück gave Belcher a round!?

MrStuffins

29-28?

Who are these judges? If the person who gave Belcher a round here is the same guy who gave Vinny a round he seriously deserves to be black-listed!

Bisping was incredible!

Scar Tissue

Hon the Cecil!

I wonder if the judges are watching the same fights as us sometimes..

Mr. Manager

Everyone, get your fix of the internet cause in about 20 minutes it'll implode when Sonnen takes back his belt.

Sonnen4Lyf!!

meh the first round was definately close id imagine strike stats were comparable and most significant strike was belchers when he seemed to rock him! I had it scored for bisping like but I dont know if its terrible to give it to belcher

Wanting to see Sonnen win here makes me feel dirty!

Mr. Manager

I'm more excited than Silva II.

MrStuffins

Chael to win in the 5th via Triangle

scudzilla

Can't stand Jones, really REALLY want Chael to win

Mr. Manager

Just for the record, this has to be one of the worst title fight match ups in history :pac:

MrStuffins

Yeah but Sonnen can't help if the guy with the belt is so much below his standard unfortunately!

Mr. Manager

the incredible pudding

Stoppage was early but probably did him a favour. Seemed like they were in different weight classes such was his domination. I guess Cormier is the only hope!

MrStuffins

Chael will just have to make do with being Undisputed MW Champ!

Mr Blobby

Well that was terrible...

MrStuffins

JONES'S FOOT!!!!!!

Andersonisgod

Ridiculous. Jones looked like he was 2 weight classes above Sonnen. Awful match-up.

Nasty break there for Jones.

PerrinV2

So dominant its not even funny,I can't see anyone coming close to Jones in this division.

*ouch me good foot

SRFC

He looks in serious pain :eek:

Did Chael break Jones foot with his face?

Strongbow10

Anderson Silva v Jon Jones?

Good point from Rogan. If Sonnen manages to make it out of round 1 he had a great chance to win the title tonight with Jones having such a bad foot injury.

True but justice is justice. Jones is the better fighter, having an injury like that be such a big factor wouldn't have been good.

The Clown Man

Tell you what, I was just telling my mate how much I don't like John Jones just as the fight was ending, then I saw his foot, obviously at the same time he saw it.

3 minutes later I'm saying, I like this guy again. I would have been out on the floor at that stage. I don't mind pain much really but I hate seeing it ... I'd be out.

If he got to the end of the round, it could of easily been a doctor stoppage. I felt the stop was early but inevitable. In hindsight, It was hugely important.

Arawn

Sonnen it's ok we all know you didn't really want that belt it was just a stepping stone to your Heavyweight title!

Roar

I apologise in advance for this.

PrettyBoy

Easy money

Wonder can Paddy Power really afford all the free €40s they just handed out all over the British Isles.

stealinhorses

That interview with Jones was the cringiest thing I've ever seen, Rogan should have just left him alone, he looked like he was about to pass out :P

Don't agree with this at all. Just cause he got destroyed the last time out doesn't mean he's as out matched as Chael was.

Silva put away Overeem... That's got to count for something in your books, no?

Tito Ortiz v Elvis Sinosic... imagine Sinosic being World Champ.

Mr. CooL ICE

Look at what half the internet has searched for this morning

Be like Nutella

Sonnen had no chance which is what all the other LHW guys Jones has smashed up had. He's unbeatable.

And his pure power/strength is actually insane - he's waaaaaaaaaaay stronger than anyone in the history of LHW. He can just pick you up from any position and smash you round the cage any time he wants. You can't hit him you can't wrestle him you can't get out from under him and you can't avoid those murderous GBH elbows he throws from within guard or half guard you just can't - he uses his long arms to gain wrist or forearm control and then loads up flash elbows and you simply can't defend them. He's a man mincer (as opposed to a mincing man which is different)

Everyone is beatable,but saying that he has looked unstoppable in his title fights.The only fighters that beat him i think are Gegard Mousasi and Anderson Silva,hope they make one of them fights.Another 20 seconds and that fight was over,Jones would'nt be be able to continue with that toe

MrStuffins

According to Dana, Anderson Silva rang him after the fight last night and asked top fight Jon Jones after the Weidmann fight. Jones had also said before the fight that he's interested in Super Fights.

This one could happen!

Thought Jones' post-fight interview was perversely hilarious. He went from laughing about what he treated like a cool scar to being completely freaked out and in shock in a matter of seconds...and Joe just wouldn't leave him alone!

For me, that was his finest performance. Reason being that Chael got his gameplan so right, the only way he was beating him was to attack attack attack relentlessly,and he did so better than Lyoto did. In spite of this, Jones just adapted on the fly and dominated. He was out of his comfort zone, couldn't control the range and was on the back foot for most of the stand-up...and yet still managed to kick the ever-loving **** out of Chael. In an MMA world where people think Greg Jackson masterminds wins before the fight even starts, Jones won that fight (convincingly) on pure skill and instinct.

That said, if Chael had lasted a further 30 seconds, we'd have a new LHW Champion right now. Wonder if he'll make a thing of that now, if there are any further Sonnen fights to come.

p to the e

I really don't squirm easy but that toe injury had my stomach in my mouth. Reminds me of the injury Anthony Perosh got a while back. I think the stoppage was early but with the time left in the round i think it would have ended the same way just later.

Belcher didn't seem to be his usual self in his fight. Bisping pushes an almighty pace but expected Belcher to engage more. The chants of "USA" were typically ignorant.

Cheick Kongo against Overeem next anyone? The tough call is who next for Nelson. Two options is the winner of Hunt vs. Dos Santos or Werdum vs. Big Nog but the problem is he was beaten badly against Dos Santos and Werdum.

Fantastic win by Pat Healy. That win throws him into the top 10 LW division.

Two technical decisions and two broken digits. Well I never.

Be like Nutella

I've flipped on this before, but at this point, I do think Jones is just too much for Silva but it is still a credible fight IF Silva can add a bit more power to his frame which I genuinely think he would need (not sure if it's practical at this point in his career though)
Jones would be in a position to either choose to beat Silva viciously by taking him down (which he could so very easily IMO) and mashing up with those elbows which nobody can neutralize, bar a hail mary armbar which he ain't gona fall for again after Belforts attempt
OR
Jones could 'choose' to cement his greatness by making a definitive statement and standing with Silva toe to toe from the first bell and beating him at his own game which would be such an all-time career statement - and a verrry tempting one!

IF he chose to stand with Silva then I'd give Silva a decent 'chance' at pinging him with something with his back against the cage in his web as he does so well but he would need success early before Jones did damage with kicks and standing elbows from range using his wiggly hands snake-charming routine which he prides himself in - or 'Memorizing' as he calls it.

But I'm 100% positive Jones's camp would have him take Silva down immediately and destroy him from top position. Its safer, it works, he'd win.

If it happens the bookies will have Silva 3-1 at least and that would be fair. Silva has a punchers chance and that's it... granted a genius punchers chance. (you can forget head kicks, you can forget clinch-work, you can forget subs from the bottom.

If Silva continues to push the envelope of my admiration for his genius by finishing Weidman with some unbelievable move from a playstation game then I reserve the right to completely flip flop again!

Be like Nutella

Healy - relentless beast - you better have cardio and footwork to fight this guy

Kongo v Overeem yes - but he get's flattened with one horse meat fueled uppercut

Big Country is such a hero love the guy - haha Kung Fu fighter - I laugh everytime I hear that.although I think he has a WC or choy le fut background - I assume Choy Le Fut from the swinging side fist punch which is Choy style (and before I saw him do it last night I would've said is a bunch of crap having done some classes

Steve O

Belchers performance was absolutely shocking last night, 0 respect for Bispings hands and he paid for it. Hope his eye isn't too ****ed though.

Jones is absolutely untouchable and I consider myself lucky to be watching this guy fight. Terrible match up in the first place.

I really don't get the mentality people have when they say they can't stand fighters purely due to them being winners. Stinks of jealousy.

Anderson silva and Jones, something I would happily pay the guts of a grand to see happen live.

It was a good performance from jones but it was obvious what sonnens strategy would be so he would have prepared accordingly

Dana said that Hunt or Commeir is next at the post fight. The 2nd fella is the one that held Mir for 3 round. probably spelt his name wrong.

The Clown Man

Hints about a super fight with Silva at the press conference. Silva and Jones could actually happen and it would be the biggest super-fight in the sport so far and likely to be for a long time...

Until McGregor and Aldo. :-)
