Jones got that sociopath vibe about him. I'm loving it :lol

That being said i hope DC puts the hammers on him.
 
damn can not wait for this fight. I pray no one gets injured.

I'm rooting for Jones but this is a toss up.
 
I like both fighters, I just hope it's a good fight. Not too much of the clinching and hugging and the pin up against the fence ********.

Also can't wait to see how real Conor is. Can't wait to see Cruz. Can't wait to see Yoel.
 
--Korean Zombie returns against Akira Corassani as the co-main event in Stockholm on October 4 (Nelson v Story headlining)

--Faber apparently is out in his fight in Japan on September 20. Bruce Leroy will replace him (Hunt v Nelson headlining)

Bit surprised how much respect Daniel Cormier is commanding in the Octagon. I get he's been dominant, albeit boring. Rarely giving away rounds with perhaps the best wrestling in MMA. However, Bones looked incredibly sharp against Glover. Best of his career, according to Dana White. Jon Jones was firing on all cylinders and regardless of how you scored the Gus fight, Jones showed the heart of a champion. Sturdy chin, will to win, and ability to dig deep. I'm fairly confident Bones comes away victorious. Decision likely, but a stoppage seriously wouldn't surprise me.

Rooting for Mizugaki, but he's going to lose a decision despite riding a 5-fight win streak. Even with ring rust and the lengthy layoff, Cruz's style is so unorthodox and difficult to prepare for. Mizugaki just isn't on that Mighty Mouse, prime Faber, even Benavidez level to push Cruz and exploit his rust.

I imagine Romero will attempt to knock Kennedy's block off, but the latter may just be experienced enough to pull-off a decision victory.

Corassani was supposed to fight Mike Brown at one point in '13. KZ is going to duplicate Diamond's performance and KO Corassani in R2.
 
i gotta say after watching the hot mic video with both of them they trruly have a hate for one another haha when jones goes " hey P3131 you still there", this is gunna be a great fight but i dont know about DC, his knee holding up is the only thing that makes me think it might not be a close fight if goes to decison
 
Ariel is going to have TJ Grant, Faber and Cub Swanson on the show tomorrow morning.

TJ Grant has been out for over 13 months and still isn't 100% cleared yet from his concussion
eek.gif
he's rolling but not yet sparring or wrestling. Jesus. He says he plans to be cleared soon and is eying Donald Cerrone or Nate Diaz.

There were stretches during Grant's injury that he could barely walk outside because the blinding sunlight would permeate his eyes and cause throbbing pain from the concussion. The most menial tasks that most people don't even think about when doing them became a burden for Grant because of the concussion, but now that he's nearly healed it's a blessing to be able to do them again.

"A lot of it comes down to how you feel," Grant stated. "I've been checked out and had all the brain scans and those have always come back good. I recently had an MRI on my neck because I've had a lot of chronic inflammation in it and I'll get these little headaches from it and fatigue, but again that MRI came back clean, too so I'm starting to feel pretty good. The symptoms don't affect me day to day, it doesn't slow me down or make me tired or anything like that anymore. I'm confident I'm going to be back, I'm going to be back sooner rather than later."

My post in General about War Machine, for the uninformed non-MMA fans:

You all should know Jonathan Koppenhaver's story. His mother was a drug addict, and as a result he took care of his little brother and sister. Watched his father die at 13 while unsuccessfully performing CPR. Not excusing his behavior in any shape or form. War Machine is troubled, with deep-rooted demons. He's likely going to end up dead or incarcerated. Unresolved anger and childhood trauma.

Before you judge or label him crazy, understand that we should feel bad for him. The fits of uncontrollable rage, unable to avoid brushes with the law, delving into pornographic movies. Supposedly he performed in 12.

Why do I care? As a major MMA fan, he was on a 3-fight win streak in Bellator. Very exciting guy, finishes or gets finished. No decisions with War Machine in the cage. Keslar snapped his streak by tapping him in '13, and now Koppenhaver's stint with the promotion is obviously concluded.
 
I think he's saying that the dude is mentally unstable, his action's are not excusable but when someone has psychological issues, its not "their fault".

People are quick to just say "oh that person's crazy" or a "psycho" and dismiss a real mental illness as fault of that person.
 
I get that Koppenhaver has his issues, but you should never do what he did to a woman and ever experience another minute as a free man. I'm sorry... :{
