Johnson might be the last guy I'd ever want to fight in real life. Scary power, scary speed, epic TDD. I'd love to see Jones get past DC again and to finally see Rumble vs Jones.

Keys to beating Rumble:
1. Make him chase you for 15 minutes.
2. Pray to God he's tired.

Hopefully they don't sideline Rumble and book him to fight again in April on the Jones/Cormier II card. Even if he returns to the HW division and fights there for one fight.

Rumble has ******** levels of power in his hands.  Why he never thought to go up to 205 earlier in his career is beyond me.  He could have dominated the division back in the day.

Rumble's lucky that Bader didn't learn that 360 roundhouse from Bruce Leeroy earlier.

Fox Sports just put up a stat that absolutely amazed me. Rumble is 11-1 in his past 12 fights and in those 12 fights, he has 8 KOs.  That is ******* scary.  Shows how much of a difference 30 lbs makes.
