You say you're not rich, then clarify that you own a 2012 bentley?
Okay. I guess being able to afford a $150,000+ car is middle class.

@Fresno, if you didn't lose so many damn AV bets it wouldn't seem so bad.

the whole act of "knowing his the greatest" is going to die one day and it will become with defeat all have to fall one day so i think if its not hurting anyone and winning fights due to it than well done.
He does come off as a bit oif a **** though you would hate to train with him, do a wrong thing and you wouldnt forget it

@hybrid, as hard as it was for me to watch Machida (my favorite fighter) get dropped like that, it could have easily been prevented. 1) Lyoto could have tapped. He's a grown man, understands physics enough to know that it's kind of hard to stand erect whilst unconscious. 2) Jones didn't have to drop him, but I didn't see it as being any worse than after Shogun knocked Machida out, landing 3 or 4 shots on a clearly unconscious opponent. That happens frequently to guys who are clearly out, the standing choke isn't a technique we see guys go out from often, I'm sure a lot of fighters would have done the same thing.

Yaspaa made the point that he need's acting lessons to portray his humbleness more effectively to the public....why?
People like Prince Naseem Hamed and Ali who were both characters and in their time pretty much the baddest men on the planet were never humble and if they pretended to be and said things like "I believe it was my destiny to be the champion" then people would have called them out just like people are doing to Bones now!
Ok....rant over! peace out ......woo

our hopes of Jones having a similar career came crashing down after he dispatched rampage and then went ahead and choked out Machida (I hate typing this). Our hopes now are that he plateaus out and people catch up similar as to what happened to Tito after his reign of supremacy came crashing down.
