I think the winner out of Mark Hunt and Stefan Struve should fight Jones. Jones needs to move up if you ask me. A real fighter will challenge himself. I wouldn't want Jones to jump into HWs fighting Carwin, Cain or Overeem. Ease into a new weight divison.

The more exciting matchup would be for Silva to move up to LHW to fight Jones if he gets past Sonnen. That would sale a lot of PPV's.

This. That would be awesome.

Without a doubt, I don't think Silva will make the transition though.

MMA's not as exciting to me as it once was. Not as big a deal. I still like it, but not like I used to. Not sure why.

I had never seen Rory fight - but I did see Mills KO Chris Cope.. Yeah, i was shocked to see the skinny dude beat the shit outta Mills. It was awesome though and I'll definitely keep my eye on the kid.

I completely agree, that last PPV fight I watched was JDS vs Cain. In all honesty I use to order every single one. All Pride and UFC events. Dana ruined it for me, tired of his "This fight is going to be the best UFC fight ever" statements before every fight. It gets old. If he brought back Tito and Shamrock he'll say "this fight will be very very exciting" then both fighters are gassed after the 1st round. I know he's suppose to hype of fights, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

Lol, so you ease him into one of the hardest hitting HWTs in Hunt? His ground game is non-existent tbf, but I doubt they put Jones up against a former K1 stud in his first HWT bout. Additional lol at the "Real fighter will challenge himself" quip. So, Jones staying at LHW makes him a fake fighter? :-)

Anderson already said he wouldn't bump up to 205 to fight Jon. Jon also views Anderson as a mentor and doesn't seem interested in fighting him either. Additionally, if Jon takes Anderson down, it is over. There is literally nobody who can survive with Jon on top of them in MMA right now, especially at 205 with Roger moving down to 185.

Anderson has a nice gig, if I were him I wouldn't want any part of that.
[Reply]

You'll like watching him in the future. They're giving him guys like Che right now to build him up. Rory is right there IMO with Nick, Carlos, Ellenberger, and Kos. He'll probably get someone like Kos, Hendricks, Kampmann, or Paulo Thiago soon.

If you like Rory though, you should watch Erick Silva and Edson Barboza. Those two are going to be absolute monsters here in a year or two. They're bring both along slowly like Rory, but Edson will be facing some tough guys real soon. Already has a matchup with Dunham confirmed.

:-) JDS vs Cain was the first UFC fight on Fox lol. Nice try though.
[Reply]

Depends on when you started watching. I loved having Pride and the UFC at the same time. For me, MMA is still just as exciting but it has evolved. Definitely not the same as it used to be. That's to be expected though with the expansion and popularity growth of the sport.
[Reply]

See I can't even remember the fight lol.
[Reply]

Huaha thats because it lasted all of 2 minutes.
