The crotch chop was not meant as a gesture of disrespect, Jones was just calling for a fight against CM Punk by announcing that he's joined Degeneration X. Triple HHH will corner Jones for the fight.

That ref on the undercard made an X with his arms as his signature ref pose, so we now have the foundations for the new DX. I'm sure that Dana White is a big DX Band fan, so we are going to have some rockin' national anthems at UFC shows from here on out.

he was getting bullied in the clinch the entire fight. when he couldn't push jones up against the cage at all you could see him just sorta give up. add to that the fact that he got hit in the flabby body approximately 100 times and he just had nothing left

I don't think it is accurate to say that he was bullied in the clinch the entire fight. His best work in the first three rounds was in the clinch with dirty boxing away from the cage. The clinch only became his enemy when Jones could use his weight and leverage against he cage, which was mostly the story in the championship rounds.

Nog should have retired right then and there. He got to defend the honor of his bread and butter in front of his home country, and there would have been no better way to ride into the sunset. Instead we will have to watch him be shuffled from this mortal coil by the next schlub with any semblance of KO power that he fights.

(My phone wanted to autocorrect schlub to Schaub, which is hilarious but even he couldn't get the job done against the ghost of Nog)

Wanting to see someone fight a good wrestle/boxer when they haven't fought any good ones and are about to leapfrog their way into a title shot off of a win over Siver isn't necessarily some internet revenge trip, that's a perfectly rational thing to expect a contender to go through before getting a title shot. Yeah I'm sure there's "haters" out there who are convinced he would never survive that kind of fight and want to gloat over it if he loses...but his fans aren't exactly vindicated by him NOT going through that fight. There's just as many reasons for someone who loves him to want to fight a real wrestler as someone who hates him. If I was a true blue Conor superfan right now I'd be saying "give us Frankie, give us Mendes, give us Lamas. My boy will starch them too no question."

But all things considered I don't really mind because Aldo deserves this payday, and if you have to protect a super popular guy to do it then so be it. Just don't be telling me he's had a tough road to get there or that there's no questions at all about whether he truly deserves the shot more than others.

At this point, the only person who is getting passed over for the shot is Frankie Edgar. All of the other top contenders either just fought Aldo (Lamas, Mendes) or lost their streaks (Bermudez, Cub). Sure the UFC protected Conor, but the elite in the division also helped him by removing each other from contention.

The cool thing about Rumble is he may or may not have admitted to steroid use, already had domestic abuse charges put against him, missed weight a bunch of times, and violently killed a helpless Spaniard who in hindsight should have been separated by no less than 5 weight divisions.

All I'm saying is Rumble might be the only guy who has what it takes to stand up to whatever real demon is behind the Jon Jones mask.

Rumble is the personification of MMA. An avatar of the MMA gods taking human form to unseat the best living fighter and then fail a post-fight drug test for PCP, simultaneously killing the sport and all of us via laughter.

Ariel just said Weidman's injury is he hosed up his rib. He expects to be back by the summer. They'll probably just postpone the Vitor fight until August. Though it would be cool as co-main to Aldo/McGregor, even if it is the higher weight class.

No way they put another title match in the Jose/Conor card when it will sell plenty well on its own.

Also, this had better lead to a Bendo/Cowboy game of one upsmanship that leads to then fighting on short notice in increasingly higher weight classes. Cowboy/Werdum in Mexico is going to be awesome, especially when Cowboys ends up a Mexican fugitive somehow.

It would be amazing if the fight happened and Muņoz pulled out the win somehow. And then we'd have to watch him for again and we would all be sad.
