Re: UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko Jones is as good a prospect as there is in MMA right now. Such a fluid, dynamic fighter. A win here should set him up for a title eliminator match with a high ranking LHW like Machida.
Re: UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko With Shogun out for a while I'd like to see Rashad fight Jones(if he wins vs Matyushenko), both good wrestlers but with different styles and while Rashad has quick hands I think Jones diverse standup would make him a threat. Have Rampage fight Machida(both coming off losses to highly ranked LHWs) and if Shogun is out long enough have the winners fight each other to get a clear #1 contender.
Re: UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko (Aug. 1st) ^ Rashad will wait for his title shot rather than taking a risky fight like with Jones. This is the problem with the UFC not having a ranking system and promising guys title shots.

Re: UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko (Aug. 1st) James Irvin looks good, better than he did @ 185. Hopefully he wins in exciting fashion. He isn't going anywhere in the UFC, but he is very fun to watch.
Re: UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko (Aug. 1st) Interested to see the Gomi fight, and the Okami fight. Jon Jones looks like he's in great shape, the janitor should be in for a tough fight.
Re: UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko (Aug. 1st) Fuck I hate UFC on TV and not on PPV. So many fucking commercials. I think the amount of commercials = about 3 replays of the Gomi fight.
Re: UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko (Aug. 1st) Doomsday has a major mouse under his left eye, I wouldn't be surprised if they stopped the fight because it is closed. Ellenberger is benefiting from his superior ground game, because he's being eaten alive on the feet. "That's not a mouse anymore, that's a rat." Haha, Rogan...he's a funny guy.
Re: UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko (Aug. 1st) Surprised they let this fight go to a 3rd round. Howard is fighting with one eye. And he's still kicking Ellenberger up on the feet. Ellenberger would be smart to take him down.
Re: UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko (Aug. 1st) Chael Sonnen continues his reign as world's biggest douche.
Re: UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko (Aug. 1st) Okay. Time to take another step. This might be the best prospect in MMA history.
Re: UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko (Aug. 1st) You stay classy San Diego! LMAO! Nice! Jones vs. winner of Bader/Lil Nog needs to happen.
