his problem is that his skills are declining and that he is fighting guys that are 50-70 lbs higher in weight than him.
if he fought guys his weight he might be able to prolong his career quite a bit and still stay on top of the game [Reply]

I don't necessarily think his skills are declining at all. I think at his age he just isn't able to keep up with the bigger weight differences now. Keep in mind that the Werdum fight he was fine and he just got lost and caught in a sub, the Bigfoot fight is what really makes me think that. He still has the best chin and heart in mma [Reply]

Wonder how much longer the SF contract with Showtime is? You know there will be a merger after its up.
I know people don't like the idea of a monopoly but the amount of absurdly good fights and cards we're going to get in the future is ridiculous.
I'm excited.
Strikeforce was paying out huge fighter contracts to their top guys. That couldn't last forever without a more frequent offering on TV and no PPV money at all. [Reply]
A lack of competition could eventually be a negative thing. With that said, can you imagine the damn fight cards they could put on with UFC also having former WEC & StrikForce fighters?! [Reply]
Jones has been signing his autograph 2011 champion.
He's a douchebag. I don't like guys who don't respect the path that other guys have walked to become great. Yes the Jones fanboy nut huggers will say it's just a confidence thing but it's bullshit. Jones is not the champion yet, and if he loses to Shogun he will just look like fucking bigger douche for doing this.
I've also read some interviews and he's starting to look more and more like a head case douche bag. I hope Shogun beats his fucking lights out tomorrow night. [Reply]
