DC has offered to pay OSPs travel to take him and train him for the fight against Jones.


How desparate is DC for anyone to beat JJ so he doesn't have to face him and hold onto his paper belt a while longer? How can he train anyone is he's injured?

Yeah that makes him look really bad, surely he must realise how that comes across? He could easily have said something like "No disrespect to OSP, but I want Jon to win because I have a score to settle with him" or something along those lines, but this just looks like him trying to avoid fighting Jones again.

DC knows for a fact OSP isn't winning, it's just a kind gesture for stepping up and taking this fight on short notice, along with a pretty much guaranteed loss on his record.

I've not listened to it yet, just reading the twitter updates. Has JJ been on yet to give his retort?

Haven't been watching myself, just seen the quotes. Maybe I took it out of context but that's just how it looked to me from what I seen.

Think Jones is on in the next half hour. Apparently Greg Jackson was on and said that Jones now his own full time driver. Finally!

Yeah true, it's pretty clear cut what he said in fairness! I watched it back there, he basically says he's offering OSP his training camp that he'd prepared for Jones - the AKA facilities, his sparring partners etc. He said that even if it's not DC, all his team still want to see Jones lose that night!

But he does say that although he likes OSP, it's the closest thing to a tune-up fight in MMA for a returning fighter, and he's expecting Jones to win. Also says he'd be healed and ready to fight at 200 if Jones was ready too.

Poor aul DC terrified trying to help OSP beat Jones cause deep down he knows he can't himself. Also you can expect injuries to happen in fight camp but how many times does it have to happen before AKA sort their shit out?

Awesomeness

"Daniel [Cormier] is an absolute coward who will never beat me" Jon Jones

Devastator

I'll download & listen while I'm hanging about hospital tomorrow getting tests. Looking forward to having a listen.


It sounds incredibly disrespectful from DC from what you've said though. If I'm reading it right hes basically said to OSP "You're not good enough and your team are not good enough but so come train with my team and they'll support you"

OSP has turned the offer down.

UFC200............Cain & DC on same card :pac: Nothing could possibly go wrong with injuries there. Depending on when they're looking at NYC the UFC might hold them back to that.

ASOT

Mike Wilkinson cut, the ufc are getting ruthless he was 2-2

Also turned out Romero only got a 6 month suspension, and not 9 as reported earlier by Helwani.

Tim Means should get the same handily enough so.

Always injured and was comprehensively outclassed in his last fight. He won't be missed.

Not to mention being eliminated in his first fight on TUF the one that Norman won who was cut; saying that one of his most notable wins is Artem who is on the roster.

If anything that just shows how thin the division is, Shogun is 8th and he's 2-3 in his last 5, Evans is also 2-3, OSP is 3-2 with wins over two washed up brazillians and Pat Cummins, Bader is boring disregard him, Glover is 3-2 with wins over osp, Cummins and Bader, Gus is 2-3 also but loses to the top three.

Weakest division in the ufc without a doubt. Bar maybe the flyweight division since MM is a freak.

100% Agreed, followed closely by Heavyweight and Flyweight.

OSP was the only real candidate. Jones might as well move up to heavyweight once he beat DC again.
