@Poir well watch the fight then, don't go talking **** about a fight you haven't even seen. Why don't you actually watch the fight and tell me that. Hell if he isn't such a cheater why did Hammil beat him?

on one hand I'm glad Jones gets to dismantle Lyoto just so I don't have to hear about him being the one to beat Jones lol thats just silly....

but why is Jones being rushed to defend the title? is Rashad really gonna be out that long? on Dana's Vblog day one it shows Jones limpin around complaining about his feet, and he also said he wanted time off...i'm not complaining, i look forward to seeing more destruction....but seems a lil fishy

That makes me laugh that some of you guys actually think that Hamill BEAT Jones!  He may have a victory over him on his record, but when it comes to "beating" Jones, he definitely did not.  He didn't earn that victory, it was given to him.  Hamill was not winning that fight for any moment.  Jones was kicking beating his ass like he stole something for every second of that fight, and the ref made a decision in haste.  Jones did break the rules, but so have plenty of other fighters, and they typically got a warning or a point deduction, not a DQ.  Hamill said in the post-fight interview that Jones beat him in that fight.

Also, I don't care if Rashad supposedly beat Jones in training, because that's training.  The mentality in the cage in a real fight, and the mentality in the gym training with your buddies are two completely different things, like apples and oranges.

Jones is a kid, the only thing he is dismantling is his LEGO towers.

I like the passion K1. Maybe just because I'm so confident in Machida. Usually I'm so realistic but I think Machida has a decent chance, and if he wins I'll be very satisfied I was right. Either way I'm going to sit back and get excited for this fight the more the seconds go by!

There must be some good **** up there in Oregon.  You should call the Diaz brothers to share in on the puffs.

@Thiago: Yes it is true that Jones lost that fight because he did not follow the rules, but the events of that fight indicate very clearly that Jon Jones is a superior fighter to Matt hamill, so, while it does get him a loss on his record, it does not damage his standing in the rankings. Shazam.

If Machida loses, then Sonnen will move up to 205.

@K1 I did watch the fight however if he cheated as you say he did then why wasn't he DQ'd?

buffalo ben had the exact same point I was trying to get across.  What's your response to that, @K1?

@Poir They weren't fight changing shots like the Hammil fight but they were still there. Cheick Kongo and Jones have some things in common, they should train with each other... swap discreet cheap shot tactics.

@K1 -- in case you "missed" it on the previous page:

People just need to hop off the Lyoto Machida bandwagon.  He has done nothing but beat Randy Couture in his retirement fight in almost 2 years.  If Rampage and Shogun can beat him, what makes you think Jones can't beat him.  Jones thoroughly manhandled both of those fighters.  Maybe you guys are seeing something that I'm not, but a jumping front kick knockout over a veteran doesn't make me believe he poses a threat.

@crumx7 people are just in love with Machida. They think it's 2009 when Machida was on top of the 205 division. He has been average at best since UFC 98. How anyone can be a fan of a guy that won't fight someone cuz his wife won't let him is beyond me. After Jones dominates Machida then we can stop discussing Lyoto and get to the 2 real best fighters at 205 Evans/Jones.
