Is anyone else waiting with baited anticipation for this match up?? lololol...
I can't wait to see this fight. For a UFC fight, the build up and promotions have been pretty decent- but could be a bit better.

It sucked for them because they had a lot of great press for the fight with the ESPN interview, but then when it got postponed everything just cooled off and they never built the momentum.
I'm looking forward to it because DC is a fucking animal and may be the only guy besides Gus who can possibly dethrone Jones.
Yea... they killed the momentum a bit, but pure fight fans still know it has to happen.Quote:

Intriguing fight. I was curious how DC's boxing would matchup with Jone's varied striking attack and if DC's wrestling would set the pace. Frankly I was pretty disappointed with DC. He had success with his boxing in spurts but failed to keep the adequate pressure and pace to really win rounds with it. His corner was saying as much. Furthermore he didn't really ever commit to getting a takedown. I assumed DC's HW experience would nullify much of Jone's superior athleticism and length but it was pretty clear he was the better athlete and his length caused issues for DC. I've always felt that Jones lack of head movement made him to easy to hit....even going back to the Bonnar fight, I thought Stephan (a mid tier fighter) was all to able to connect with Jones. That being said he shook off everything DC connected on. I gave DC the 2nd but everything else was Jones. He really wore him down over the last two rounds.
I was pulling for DC but I picked Jones by decision. Huge win for Jones, the stakes were huge and he pulled it out, DC couldn't take him down and Jones took him down 5 times.
Jones will beat Anderson record and
Should think about moving up to heavyweight.
Jones won fair and square, even if he is a coke head. Lol
I was pulling for baby fatty, but he could not keep the pace or take Jones down.
