Holy fuck, got that one wrong

Didnt ya just !!


This kid is the second coming believe me. I honestly cannot see anyone in the 205 division de-throning him any time soon. Everytime I watch him he gets better and better

I originally thought Bader would of put up a better display than he did, and after watching Jones dominate such a solid wrestler in Bader then Shogun stood no chance in the ground game regardless of his great BJJ. The thing with Jones, his reach is ridiculous, Shogun has superb striking, but if cannot get close to ya opponent it means shit ! As highlighted in the fight. As mentioned by some, Silva would be the fight everyone will clamour for once Jones hands Rashad's ass to him on a plate.

I honestly would fear for Silva if they met. Sonnen proved Silva can be dominated by a top class wrestler, Jones would not let it get to the 5th round imo, and that hurts me to say cos Silva is one special fighter, but on the other hand so is Jones.

You know a fighter is special when watching them, it looks like they have all the time in the world, never get flustered or rush into anything daft. He seems to be in the matrix when he's fighting. Silva comes into this category, Jose Aldo, GSP, but not many others, these are the top of the tree no doubt.
