Prediction: correct Johnson   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

I agree with the opinion that Jones' resume is better. With respect to MM and to you guys who think he's #1 P4P and has a better resume than JBJ, I'm sorry but it's just not an opinion with any merit imo. P4P discussions aside, because in general P4P is tedious, subjective and ultimately pointless since we don't have a P4P machine to put them in to see who's actually the best. 

The biggest thing you have to ask yourself when it comes to who's resume is better is this, and maybe it's a flippant statement but...How many legends has MM beaten? The answer is none, and he's supposed to beat these guys. Jones has beaten legends of the sport who actually people actually know and have prestige to their name with good reason. Where as MM dominates the midget division where nobody outside of hardcore's know who they are.

When it comes right down to it, LHW is a staple of MMA royalty and holds prestige, where as the flyweight division and title is new and isn't as well liked. Also, there's one legend amongst a short list of contenders. Jon Jones isn't even active but I still consider him the best on the planet, **** P4P, and sorry, hate him or love him but he is.

I don't think there are many fighters Elliott compares to less than Cruz.

pffft. if anyone who thumbs downed my comment would just post their betting slip and how much they placed on Elliott...

oh wait that's right you'd have to actually think he has a chance to win and this won't be a one round exhibition. Joke of a title fight. MM by KO in the first

Give me MM vs Garbrandt

keep em coming ya powder puffs. Much better than explaining why Tim has any chance of not getting turned off.

Can he hit like Dodson or wrestle like cejudo? No? so where exactly does he have even a remote chance?

Don't worry you can passive aggressively disagree with a thumb instead of admitting the truth.

edit. oh I see, some of you think the p4p greatest will have an issue dealing with a 1 inch reach advantage. Hilarious.

hey lopati, are you really going to be so dumb as to pretend people don't hop weightclasses?

there is no-one left for MM at 125. this fight makes that so, SO obvious. Do we just cycle bums between Dodson rematches or do we admit he's transcended the division?

Why would DJ go to BW and fight anyone, but Cruz?  I am sure avenging that loss to the BW Champ is more intriguing to him than a fight with GarBrandt.  If he were to weight class hop.

unless garbrandt beats cruz. I want MM v No Love because styles make fights. MM and cruz would end in a controversial split decision coin flip.

No Loves aggro and MM pure technicianship would make for the most visually appealling fight of year pretty easily

Great fight. Was not expected. Still want MM to move up and possibly come back later after the division has built up a little. Becoming the 2nd ever to hold 2 belts would help move his stock up and maybe get his title fights off TUF finales

If he did go up to 135 and won the belt, then he would deserve all the credit in the world but I doubt he would get it.

In that 3rd and 4th round,, what was that ?

If any of you all have this fight recorded last night can you explain to me what that was that happend  around 3:40 of both rounds 3 and 4?  I am just looking for some input from what you all think without adding too much into it. When MM applies the rear naked chokes and then just gives them up and transitions into another hold... I will just leave it at that? Kind of happens twice , once in each round,,,,

I think that was due to Tim's weird ass (yet effective) habit of escaping by laying his back flat on the mat instead of rolling and turtling. Gives up any top position but you can't "have" his back if it's on the ground.

didn't rewatch just what I remember seeing last night

Do you think Elliott no longer sporting the amish look is because he's on his Rumspringa or has he abandonded his hat and cart?

After TUF ( great series for fights not so much the "let me bang" stuff, they all were actually mature and cool guys by in large - no antics etc ) and that main event , I will take a bullet for Tim Elliot if he so wish ( put Tim higher on the pedestal of praise and admiration
