Jon Jones is good but a P.O.S.

Prediction: wrong Machida   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Amazing fight but damn i just lost all respect for that kid ....just saw video making the rounds of greg jackson yelling for jones to check on machida ! he just choked him out and let him slam down on the mat ...didnt give a **** ...had no respect for machidas well being ...i could understand mir not doing it because of the backstory ....but jones is champ have some respect ...he needs to be knocked out or choked out and just left there like that maybe he will gain some respect for his fellow fighter !

What did you want Jones to do, push all the experienced, qualified medical team out of the way just so he could tap Machida on the shoulder and say a few words while he required medical attention?

Yeesh let's not start another Jones hating season ¬_¬

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

If someone uses the same lame 'did you expect Jones to drive in an ambulance and do the medical procedures and checks himself' I might physically lose the will to live. Jones didn't do anything technically wrong but if you combine everything that happened; thats when it annoys me. If he kept choking Machida even though he knew he was out I wouldnt have given him abuse. Even though he dropped him straight on his head after I was still to amazed by the choke to care. When seeing that video of Jackson telling him to go get fans and him obeying I immediately disliked him.

Oh and FTR, Ive got Jones ranked at #2 P4P so Im not bitter and hating on him because hes successful

"If someone uses the same lame 'did you expect Jones to drive in an ambulance and do the medical procedures and checks himself' I might physically lose the will to live."

I didn't use that excuse ^_^

So the issue is that Jones didn't catch Machida and put him on the stool? What a crock of s***!. McCarthy stepped in between the fighters so Jones couldn't catchy Machida. And he did the right thing by walking away and not getting in the way of medical attention.

And Jones doing what his trainer asks him to do? Something which isn't that bad? (checking on Lyoto Machida). Oh noes! How dare you do that Jones,

Please put down your pitchfork and torches folks, witch hunting season is over ¬_¬

Oh my frickin' lordy, I just finally got to see the fight, and what antics I've had to do not to find out the results, and what a corker, Machida did really well, and that's all I wanted from him, I love that guy, and what an amazing finish, went to bed a content man.
@pkclarke, it's the UFC, you finish your opponent, you don't mollycoddle them. Had the shoe been on the other foot I doubt you'd have mentioned it.

Why are people so touchy and sensitive. I do honestly want to see Jones humbled but we may not see that for a long time. Jones I believe is classy but he does think he is unstoppable, and it may have to do with his age and hype. I hope someone can give him a challenge. I think Lyoto was his best test. I hope I'm wrong!

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

I loved the wand finish of rampage in their second fight so id be a hypocrite  if i was too upset over him letting machida drop but there was animosity  between wand and rampage then and none between lyoto and jones.  Jones is a young ****y fighter that (i think) fakes being humble.  I hope for the day where he gets humility smashed into his skull similar to bisping and hendo.  I don't know if it will happen because he does have the amazing skill set he has.  Greg is a great coach and the video of him telling jones to go check on machida shows that.  Greg knows exactly what jones needs, even if it is to continue to fake the caring guy.

Maybe not the most mod type thing i could have said but its how i feel.  I really respect jones abilities i just really dislike him.  Same with bisping.  I doubt it will happen but id be ecstatic if it was hendo that knocked the piss out of jones like he did to bisping.

Jon Jones went palm to palm on his guillotine. So no.
