And I would like to say I hate Jones too he is the bad guy but that loss on his record to Steve mazagatti should be ruled a no contest. The man is undefeated period. No man has ever beaten him. That's mythical khabib type **** and it hurts our sport that he's not undefeated officially. The bad guy is back. Santos gets beat in one.
He was lost but then he found Jesus apparently.

@Free I very much doubt Santos gets finished in one. Jones has a 50/50 chance of dropping the first two, really. He'll be doing a lot of backpeddling until Maretta runs out of wheaties.

Also, your last sentence is a major part of why Christianity irks me; it doesn't matter what you do,you can simply apologize and you're entitled to arbitrary redemption via the highest Authority in the land. You cannot trust anyone with that mentality. It's not as bad as Islam which is basically pure cancer, but it's not far off.

@bruce NO MAN HAS EVER BEATEN HIM. (Except Steve mazagatti) 
Very few can claim to be the best like someone whose never been beaten.
I would agree he's an ******* and his skill set is not the greatest but his god given talents in size strength and speed more then make up for it. He also showed heart in that first Gus fight. And I don't have to tell u he's a good wrestler.

@fish I thought that's how Smith would fight too only problem is getting to Jones. I can't see santos putting up anymore of a fight then his last two victims. And I still feel santos is a small light heavyweight. Way too small

Edit: as far as religion I'd like to believe their is more or better then this but reality says that's just something people need to believe. And the way organized religion is exempt from the law and exempt from tax status.
Yeah this is gonna get negative quick. Let's just move on shall we.

Santos TKO'd Smith & would've TKO'd The Mauler 100%. 



If Marreta lands clean, this fight is realistically over... Whereas you CANNOT say the opposite. Even Jones most vicious attacks only wobble his opponents. It took 457 unanswered hellbows to put DC away. NO power. 


Most of you knew that already, hints why you're picking Jones to use his dominant wrestling and/or snag up a choke, which is 100% his only path to victory. 


Marreta is everything Jones is not. A man. No drugs, good-looking family (Jon has ugly children, hideous parents, obese brothers and a pitbull for a wife), honorable, disciplined, mentor to children and I guarantee even with all that silly roided up dead lifting Jon was doing, Marreta moves more weight in a gym. 100% 


Also @Free those gifts were not from God. Jon & his brothers were given steroids after birth. Its very-common. a 5'4 blind woman breeding with a 6 foot man with small shoulders DOES NOT produce 3 world class athletes. Never has, never will. 

Even steroids for the Immune-system will make your babies giants. 100% a fact. 99% of the NFL & NBA are unnatural science experiments created in the hospital shortly after birth. I've seen it with my own eyes. My brother was given all kinds of steroids and is 4x my size and i'm already 6'0 with barn-sized shoulders.

Well, Santos is a much better fighter than Smith. He's a lot more varied, especially with his hand striking. He's got killer low kicks and nasty long straights which Jones doesn't have good reads for. I have this fight about 60/40 in Jone's favor. It will be as deeply competitive as Santos' Gas tank.

@Bruce LOL yeah man, I get it Jones is roundly disgusting human being and we all hate him and want him to die in the cage. But he does have power, just not in his hands. His Elbows and kicks are nasty. Broke OSP's arm with a kick, and those shots he landed on DC were horrific. He doesn't have Ngannou or walker power but I sure as **** wouldn't want to get spin-elbowed or head kicked by the lanky diseased ped ape.

Honestly I hope Maretta goes out there and actually ******* fights him. Everyone makes the mistake of staying on the end of his range, and it's ******** because he has no power at middle/close  distance.

Nah its because they're too scared of the roided up man-child to engage without fear. 



Put him in there with a 205 pound Dagestani, you'll watch Jones crumble every single time. 


AbdulRashid Sadulaev would turn Jones into a fleshlight. Half the PFL LHW roster would give Jones fits. Especially guys like Maxim Grishin, who has a warlord backing him. You think Maxim is scared of Jon Jones? LOLOL he's watched children burn alive, Jon is a scooby snack.

Anyways....Can't wait for my boy Naurdievs sop****re UFC performance. 


Chance is built like jack the skeleton, super awkward. Could potentially cause some trouble early while Ismail is getting his range but after that, its a wolf vs dog situation.

Well bro I'm not gonna pretend I know who any of those guys are but let's not deny the obvious. At this point he is the greatest light heavyweight champion ever! And I ******* hate him but I can't deny his obvious skill and talent.

@brad @bruce I will freely admit listening to you guys over the last year has taught me you guys know way more then I do about MMA and you keep up to date more then me. But the fact you don't like him or that u think his children are ugly really means nothing with respect to his career as a fighter. 
are either of you picking against Jones in this fight? No?
I didn't think so. A great fighter is a great fighter. And an undefeated champion is a great fighter.

@Freemoney.... I didn't say anything about him not being a good fighter. He is the best ever Light-Heavyweight annnd arguably top 3 All-time greatest. I only respect the man for his skill and fights. The person Jon Jones, is a *************. And is honestly hated by the masses, for the most likely reason of how he gets the superstar treatment. He always gets off easy for every-*******-thing. Noooo wonder he keeps ****** up. When u don't discipline your child, they continue acting like barbarians. Which is what his problem is. That being said, I actually did have Marreta by R2/KO. Call it wishful thinking. I'd loove nothing more than seeing Jon Jones KTFO'd cold. Dead on the canvas for 10 mins ATLEAST. I wanna see that happen MORE THAN, I wanna see BJ Penn retire (And I badly want that to happen)
