 Off topic if his GOAT argument I’ll still discuss. I think we both fully understand each other’s arguments but simply disagree. That’s ok, man. I respect it. That’s what makes this fun. 

He, and everyone ever born, or who will ever be born, can be beaten in a mma fight. 

I agree that Santos may be the guy. I think Jon has beaten the best of the best and is the best, oh yes..  but do think his time will come to an end. I also agree it’s most likely gonna be a vicious Donnybrook mauler mutha ****** killer, like Santos, who’s just gonna take Jones shots and make him bang. Cormier clipped him  couple times and I think KOs Jon at HW. I don’t think Jon does well enough to win a strap at HW actually. I always thought Rumble would be the guy to do it and striking offense wise Santos is the closest thing right now. If he does I’ll still cheer and live it. That said, IMO, it just be another changing of the guards. Jon would still be best of all time for me.

100% @Swain 


and I will fully admit that Jon Jones fight weeks get me triggered lmfao. I want him to suffer defeat. I must have it. On top of that, I've been a fan of Marreta since he went to war with Uriah Hall, who still won with 1 of his big toes upside down buahaha. 

and i'm glad we agree that the man who can forget/get over his defeats and wins can/will defeat a man overly infatuated with perfection. But as well all know, its just not that simple. Jon can jab anybody from 4 feet away. Santos must forget everything & truly believe he can do it...or nothing will matter.

@greg that's cool I didn't know prediction comments end up in the thread. More tapology secret stuff.

Edit: I was wondering why people put prediction comments titles for their prediction comments. I'm slow.

That’s extreme Bruce. He does pull outta damn near every fight. It’s ****** up they kept Borg. At least Lineker is exciting af and I thought he got robbed last fight. I hate the ufc and what they pull but live it too. Ya know?

yeah, me too. ive lost all respect for dana white and the ufc...but i watch almost every event, lol. danas nothing but a favorite playing lying ******* and hes taken the ufc as a company down with him. the match making is mostly horrible with 3 or 4 who gives a **** fights for every one good fight. i realize you cant make 100% top tier fights, but fights like gadhela vs markos is completely pointless, to both fighters and the division, they both should at least be testing prospects.

100% @Phillip


they're not even trying anymore. Shelby doesn't know a damn thing about Prize-Fighting and Dana is distracted by numbers. Mick Maynard should be working at Burger King. 

They keep old ass hasbeens around like Jim Miller & Diego "The who gives a **** anymore" Sanchez but will match up 2 of the brightest European prospects every single time.....its pure ******ation. I'm over it. 


ACA is far superior in every single fashion.

Cutting Lineker is amazingly ********. One of if not the most exciting fighters in the division and NEVER tries to win on points. And then Dana, the stupid ******* staypuft marshmallow man has the gall to talk about how he wants fighters who are going to leave it all in the cage and relentlessly seek the finish in the contender series! This is why we need the Ali Act in MMA. The UFC has too much power. Why you'd cut Lineker and keep smokers like BJ Penn, and the plethora of soul-crushingly boring and/or utterly woeful female fighters like Megan Anderson is beyond me. And not ony that, they keep signing more of them like Felicia Spencer! I cannot understand this decision from any perspective--be it business, sporting, or otherwise. Absolutely nothing about it makes sense. Really they probably tried to stooge him during negotiations and when he wouldn't come to the table they just cut him.The promotion is a joke.  Hopefully he goes to One.

My only shock is that yous guys are just realizing this about Dana and UFC. I’ve come to terms with what it is years ago. It’s been a **** show for a long time. 

I guess I’m weak because I’m a big enough fan that I still watch, despite its run by HeeHaw & the ****’round Gang.

Imagine if the UFC did no more than 2 cards a month..maybe just 1. Filthy stacked 15 fight cards..$3 PPV


oh wait..that's already a thing, ACA.
