I think Shogun could beat Jones if he's in top shape and comes in with the right strategy. Shogun needs to show up in the best shape of his life and not look flabby on fight day. If he can be aggressive with his leg kicks like he was in the first fight against Machida, he can pretty much eliminate Jones' reach advantage. Jones has skinny legs and a couple of hard leg kicks from Shogun should really slow him down.

Problem is that Shogun keeps showing up to fights out of shape and gasses way to early. Part of that obviously is because of all the damage his body has taken over the years, but he has to find a way to overcome that.

Yes! I'm surprised more guys don't use leg kicks, especially after seeing what Aldo did to Faber. His leg kicks took away Faber's power, big time.

:iagree: Leg kicks would take away his speed, range, and some of the creative striking. Would also take away from his takedown offense/defense. Seems like the perfect strategy, but no one has even tried it. Everyone just gets overwhelmed by his striking very early in the fight.

So it looks like the UFC wanted to put Jones vs Hendo fight on the Super Bowl show, but Jones won't be ready to come back till April. Don't know why they didn't just put that same fight on 2 months later.

And the trash talking begins!

Lol @ Stephan Bonnar taking steroids to get his azz whooped by Anderson Silva like that :icon17:

UFC on Fox 6, which is scheduled for January 26th, is looking to be a great card. Main event is going to be Mighty Mouse vs John Dodson for the flyweight title. Also have Rampage vs Teixeira and Cerrone vs Pettis on the same card. Gonna be exciting for sure.

Supposedly Anderson Silva will be attending GSP's fight against Condit, possibly to challenge him to a fight if he should win.

GSP doesn't look too worried

:bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

plus he makes 4-5 million every fight win or lose.

Big news in the MMA world. Supposedly, Strikeforce will be folded after one final "mega show" in January that has all of it's mens champions defending their belts. Also Ronda Rousey has signed with the UFC effective immediately and will become the first female to ever fight in the UFC.

also dont forget to wake up early for UFC saturday its at 9am EST

But it's on Fuel TV though, which I don't have. Not that I would get up for it anyway even if I had it, that's what DVR is for. Saturdays are for sleeping in :icon17:

yeah i just like watching them live.. 9am is nothing to me i come from watching the old 6 hour long DREAM cards in japan from like 2-8am haha

This has been a busy week for the UFC. Rumor is that Hendo will be fighting Machida at the Super Bowl weekend fight. That will be the co-main event along with Aldo vs Edgar. That's gonna be a fun weekend for me. Fights on Saturday and Super Bowl + my birthday on Sunday. :tup:
