I'm late to the party here but I really thought it would be a more competitive fight than it was. I said from the start I thought Bones was a bad dude but he ran through Shogun and I was shocked.

He was sucking wind hard after the first round. He was slower than normal, he almost looked to be fighting timid. Dont get me wrong, i was thoroughly impressed with Jones. I've been impressed with him ever since I first saw him fight. He's been my favorite fighter for awhile now. But, that was not the Shogun we all know, either. |

you take yourself too seriously in this thread. There's nothing wrong with rooting for a guy and being a fan. You seriously going to take the, "I'm not a fan because I haven't seen him get rocked" stance? That's pretty lame. You are basically sitting here and discrediting what the kid has accomplished because he's not a vet rather than congratulating him for what he has done in such a short career. You cant deny the fact that he has a tremendous reach and size and knows how to use it, has an epic ground game, capable of an array of submissions and is incredibly versatile. That small list I just mentioned will keep him at the top of this sport for a long long time. You can't say that about too many fighters. |

Your opinion is that Jones is the real deal. Mine is that he needs to show he can survive some rough spots. You yourself said that Shogun didn't appear to be 100% and apparently now there is a video floating around from a week before the fight that shows he gassed just from some heavy bag work. So Jones beat a marshmellowed out of shape Shogun, and we're supposed to worship at his alter. No thanks. Let him win some real battles and I'll give him more props. |

I've seen the 2 sides of Shogun. Jones just isn't the guy you want to face and not have your A game. If your off your game and Forrest finishes you then you have no shot against Jones in that situation.

I am sure most of us can agree that Jones will smash Evans. Or at least I hope he does.
