UFC ON FOX 14 GUS V RUMBLE

JJayoo

Just rewatched Rumble's match against Josh Koscheck. Strange to think he lost to Koscheck but is now going to fight Jones

Nothing would make me happier than seeing AJ knock Jones out cold and seeing Jones head bounce off the canvas.

Very interesting statement from Rumble as well.

"I heard his corner say ‘front push kick', and I'm a kickboxer, so I heard it and I know what I do whenever somebody does something like that, I know how to counter it. It was just perfect timing. When they said ‘front push kick', I was like, alright, go ahead. And boom."

Wait, would they not speak Swedish though?

Amirkhani is hilarious, the thing in the post fight presser about the flying bed he'll buy his mam was gas!

Did anyone else notice how terrible the cameraman was for the post fight press conference? The camera would be on one side of the panel, then a question would move to someone on the opposite side and the question was almost answered by the time the cameraman had moved across.

Just watched the full fight and conferences this morning.

Gus and Johnson seem incredibly down to earth, humble rumble especially. Gus congratulating him after the fight, the comments about Jones' tweet and the respect they had for each other was good to see.

Hope he destroys Jones

Edit: Told Ariel his parents must have washed a lot of clothes that they gave him that name :D

Anyone see the new headbut theory doing the rounds?

I've had a look at all the angles, looks like it was a bit of damage from both but the right hand landed first. Nobody knows how much effect the headbutt really had I guess but Gus was quick to play it down.

This angle here shows it was the right that did the damage IMO, but hard to say what effect the headbutt really had

CurryFlavoured

The right hand definitely landed first and did more damage imo, the headbutt definitely caught him though (that angle doesn't really show it). We don't know what would have happened but my guess is that Gus would have been in trouble with or without the headbutt.

riffmongous

Hm, what usually happens after a headbutt though? It's been a long time since I remember one but doesn't the ref usually stop the action similar to eye poke or groin kick? Even if it didnt do any real damage wouldn't he still have been entitled to a break according to the rules?

I guess only Gus can really say how much damage it did and he mightn't even remember it properly after all those shots he took

People are predicting an easy win for jones for rumble like he done to glover and beat him at his own game,I personally think if DC could land on jones then Rumble will,he has great take down defence too the davis fight was a master class,never count jones out but im with rumble.

MagicIRL

I can no longer pick against Bones Jones. I thought DC would grind out a win and was wrong. Every time Jones fights he looks better and better. He is some talent.
