This fake grudge between Jones and Chael is really weak.


Both guys were really liking each other and buddy buddies on TUF and now all of a sudden they dislike each other and begin trash talking each other.

Imagine if Sonnen wins the first two rounds? all he has to do is immediately poke JJ's eye in the beginning of the 3rd and BAM, new champ.

I'm not denying Bisping looked great.  He was sharp and crisp and was DEFINITELY on point more than he normally.  But, Belcher used practically no weapon he had available to him that he normally does.  If Belcher would have done what he's capable of doing, he could have won the fight.  OR, he still could have lost.  That was the sharpest I think Bisping has ever looked and Belcher could have looked sharp too but instead we got the choke artist version of Belcher. 

I just think he lost that fight more for himself than Bisping beat him.  It could have been much more competitive than that.

@stange not so much, the card is not really spectacular thus far. Going out and get drunk was the right decision I suppose...

Jones was already going to win but he has won already via coming out to Marley.

Hmm, I don't remember picking Jones via KO in round 2. I guess I must have thought he will **** about for most of round 1.

Even though I picked Jones to win, I would love it if Chael won.

A what fighter did Buffer just say Jones was?

I couldn't hear it clearly, but it sounded a bit funny.
