Like I said, let the guy win against some adversity first. Once Lesnar got tagged, he got exposed. Someone will eventually find a whole in Jones game and exploit it. Then we'll find out how good he really is. |

I don't disagree that Jones is about a bazillion more times talented than Lesnar, my point is let him face some adversity in the ring. If he wins like 9 fights in a row and is never in trouble, then that is in fact facing adversity in and of itself.
But the boy hasn't been tested through and through yet. AS I noted, someone will find a weakness and exploit it, and the true test of a champ is coming back from that. GSP has a bit of a suspect chin. Silva can't deal with with good wrestlers. Lesnar couldn't take a punch without turning into worlds biggest pussay. Chuck Liddell turned out to have a suspect chin as well (rampage found it first) EVery fighter has a weakness. Jones is young and hasn't fought a ton. Lots of ability but like every fighter walking the planet, he has a weakness and someone will find it. Thats why I don't jump on these bangwagons. I wait to see if a guy can hack it after he's been through the grinder a bit. |

I remember reading an article after Silva KO'ed Belfort about Silva's current streak. It was comparing him to GSP. The article said that GSP hasn't lost a round since the Serra loss.

Regarding Bones, he looked an entire weight class bigger than Shogun, Rogan mentioned it during the fight....that's where his advantage is. His length and reach makes it hard for anyone to get close enough to do damage. I really don't know anyone at 205 that can even find any weaknesses to exploit...he does such a great job keeping everyone on the outside and even if they get close in like Shogun did a couple of times, he makes them pay. |

Just researched it. GSP has indeed won every single round since regaining the title and had some 10-8 in there as well. He won 4 out of 5 via unamous decision scoring 50 on each score card and won all 3 rounds vs Penn before the stoppage. Thats not against chumps either. That's Fitch, Alves, Koschek, Penn, and Hardy.
That's just sick. |

Yeah that seems about right I guess. Wow. I hadn't even thought of it. ****ing amazing. And yet it still seems like GSP doesn't get the cred he deserves really. If he gets past Jake Shields, and I expect him to, the fight with Silva is going to be ****ing epic. |

If Dana goes ahead with GSP vs. Anderson, I'd LOVE to see Bones vs. Mousasi...sadly we probably won't get that fight either.
