Jonny Bones off suspension next weekend and fighting the guy who gave him the toughest fight of his career. I personally thought the first one was a draw. A little early but I'm pumped! Who you got?
Always seen Gustafsson as a bit of a badass but so is Jones... Jones has to be hungry after all that shit ... huge reach advantage too.
Im not sure about that. Jones is lanky but Gustafsson is taller. Can’t be much difference. Jones has trouble with tall guys. OSP took him the distance and he was supposed to be a warm up. Gustafsson straight fucked him up. He got the decision but looked like he lost two fights in a row that night. No one would have been surprised if it went the other way.
I want to believe, but he’s been on the bench forever. I also think Jon wasn’t expecting to be taken down in the first fight. I have a feeling he’s going to wrestle a lot more this time.
I never understood what Rogan was carrying on about during the commentary. Gus threw a right hook with a closed fist, and the knuckle of his thumb hit Jones in the cheekbone, just below the eye. There was no poke there at all. Jones pokes damn near everyone he fights in the eye. He's always pawing his hand out there and it's bound to happen. Before the last DC fight Jones made a comment that he would probably poke DC in the eye, because he does that. It's not intentional, just ingrained in his habits. I honestly think it should cost fighters a point every time it happens. Eye pokes are the worst foul that you can commit in MMA. You can recover from a groin strike, but fights have been ended by eye pokes. There's talk about a new glove to prevent it, and I think it's a terrible idea. The gloves they use are perfect. They prevent broken knuckles and cuts, but still allow guys to grapple. If fighters knew that they were going to lose a point for every eye poke, they'd keep their fists closed. Pretty simple.
