Excited about an upcoming fight? Want to make predictions, or just give people a heads-up that there are some fights on? We can do it here.

(Also a good place to complain, dicuss, and agrue about the outcomes)

No one at 205 is beating him...maybe he'll move up to HW now. Was so hoping he'd call out Cain.

I wanna see rematch with Alexander Gustafsson.

There's no harm in that whatsoever and I meant no disrespect to you in my post, when I quoted Zooted they had given 3 to Cormier AND Jones (I was simply being a smartass).
As far as 49-46 or 48-47, I'm OK with disagreeing. We just saw it differently.

Don't know why, Bones will just beat him again.

Anthony Johnson is the only interesting fight at 205 and that's simply because of his size and actually has the power to stifle Bones.

Johnson would be a similar result. He is going to have problems with being kept on the outside. He would have to get lucky or have Jones make a mistake.

Just to clarify, I meant that I could see the argument for giving round 3 to Cormier. That being said, I didn't. I gave it to Jones, that's why I said 1, 3, 4 & 5.

Pretty much this. Otherwise they're not telling him he has to go out and "Stop him".
But some folks are always going to perceive things differently. Hell, folks that get paid to do this (though not as much as many here probably believe) come away 30-27, 30-27, 29-28 quite often in a three round bout. There's no reason a bunch of us on a football message board should be in complete agreement

And people on message boards let personal feelings get in the way at times as noted by Al and Kotter wanting to give 3 to Cormier because Jones tried some leaping shit and fell on his back in the last 10 seconds after winning the round convincingly.

NOt me, Jones is tall and strong. Mades it alot easier for him. Cormier had to work extra hard for nothing.

I didnt think he would run out of gas, but he did. Thats what i was shocked at, i think he had Jones hurt a few times in rounds 2-3. Then after that, it was easy work for jones.

Yea, I was stoked going into the 4th and then nothing. No gas left.

how did that not suprise you, the dudes a former olympian, and we all saw him ragdoll a great hw grapper in josh barnett, and control a 265lb mir like a child against the cage, and throw hendo like 6 feet in the air. jones stuffed all his attempts, took him down in the first, several times when he gassed, he easily controlled dc holding his wrists. it was suprising.

[BigCatDaddy]

2 judges gave round 2 to Cormier and 1 judge gave round 3 to DC.

Gustafsson, who beat him the first time and got ****ed.

No, he didnt. You kick the shit out of someone for 2 rounds and lose 3 rounds although not as badly as your opponent lost 2. You still lose. Assuming no 10-8 rds.

I can't believe this. That crazy bastard Cowboy Cerrone is replacing Eddie Alvarez to fight Benson Henderson in Boston on the 18th. Thats just 15 days after his last fight.

That guy is a freaking beast on wheels man, anybody,anywhere,anytime.

As to Jones DC, I was really disappointed in how DC seemed to lose his heart after Jones took him down in the 4th.
