  1. I agree with all that. But Hendo has excellent timing and accuracy as well. In other words, Lyoto is fighting one of the best in the sport and Hendo is fighting one of the best in the sport. None of the two can be underestimated and that's exactly why I said it'll be a strong candidate for fight of the year.

  2. Rua ran out of gas as well. That's what happens when two top fighters push the pace. You have the right to support whoever you want but the fact Jones beat Rua who hadn't fought for over a year and looked horrible that night doesn't mean that he can beat whoever else Rua has fought with. Remember how good he was when he fought Lyoto 3 years back? Sadly he isn't as good as that now and he is 11 years younger than Hendo! The things Dan can do at this age are just mind-blowing.

  3. What does race have to do with our conversation? Not even once I brought it up and I'm very surprised you did. My fighter preferences don't depend on his race. They depend on his abilities and his character.

  4. Apparently you're very good at blowing things out of proportion and not holding your temper a little. Calm down. What I meant by saying it doesn't apply to me is that I'm not racist so I don't see it the way others may be seeing it. Also, the fact many fans are idiots and may be racist doesn't mean the whole of UFC is. It's ridiculous to say that. So, before blowing up and start being disrespectful, take some time to clear up what the other person meant.

  5. This is a strong candidate for best fight of the year!

  6. 1. I don't pretend racism doesn't exist. I'm very much aware it does, I see it almost daily in my own country and it sucks. 2. If you want to continue our conversation, you better start watching your mouth. You don't know me so enough with the swearing.

  7. I'm sure he has a solid game plan as he always does. As for the rest you're saying, that's just weak. He has been in there with the best, he has always fought his arse off and he surely isn't afraid of anyone as he has proved numerous times. A title fight is very important so obviously he wanted to be in his best as did Lyoto who also declined that fight. I'm sick of MMA "fans" who keep saying a fighter is afraid. Their job description alone negates that.

  8. You give Dan too little credit then. You can't just ignore everything he has accomplished in MMA and all the amazing fights he has had. He's a legend and rightfully so. And he's facing an amazing fighter, one of my favourites. It's a guarantee for a great fight!

  9. I agree about the cardio but it may not even be necessary with that right hand. If he beats Lyoto (because you jumped a fight) and eventually gets the title shot he doesn't need much more that 2-3 H-bombs. It's MMA and anything can happen so you shouldn't underestimate him ;)

  10. Dude, I don't give a shit about that stuff. For me whoever boos is an idiot. You may have a point somewhere and that's definitely a sad situation but it doesn't apply to me. Maybe it helps that I'm not from the US, I don't know. Anderson is my favourite fighter and there are many other black ones that I really like. Jones just isn't one of them because while I acknowledge he's a great fighter, I don't like his character based on everything I've seen and read.

  11. Well, he had to because he had the belt. And I'm not saying Dan will definitely beat Jones if he gets the fight. I'm saying it's a possibility because well, it is. But if he does lose I'll be the first to say Jones deserved the win because that's how I am. Whereas if Jones loses I'm pretty sure you'll start looking for excuses.
