So Jones needs tune up fight, and GSP doesnt?...

[eyenomas]

tuneup fight = scared. this is professional level fighting. there is no tuneup fight. knock that rust off in practice. if youre not ready to fight, then don't fight. can't stall forever Jon.

 

[vic city]

He said he would stand in the pocket versus Johnson. Did he?

Plus, Johnson threw away that fight anyways. So, I can't really blame DC for that.

DC himself admitted that his body is old and the weight cuts are becoming tougher.

No beef against DC.

Jon Jones looked tentative against OSP, because OSP was tentative.

If OSP had the balls to bring it to Jon Jones, we would have seen a more savage Jon Jones. However, OSP gave Jon Jones too much time to think and be cerebral. In fact, Jon Jones started becoming a cerebral fighter even before OSP.

The idea of DC having a hard weight cut is ridiculous. If he laid off the cheeseburgers 205 would be his walking weight.

Rewatch DC vs 40yo 2 days notice Anderson Silva

 

[SVG]

Tell me how DC looked mediocre against Johnson? Having finished the scariest striker ever in the LHW division twice.

Why did you answer that guy ? He's obviously very very stupid.

Bisping IS the tune-up fight
j/k I feel Bisping will win

Bisping is the tune up fight....and its one gap will get a belt from......

While I think bispings guard defense is very good, he will still get wrestlefucked by the GOAT wrestlefucker

These. Most of the top 10 at MW are harder fights than Bisping

1 Yoel Romero
2 Luke Rockhold
3 Robert Whittaker
4 Gegard Mousasi
5 Jacare Souza
6 Chris Weidman
7 Anderson Silva
8 Derek Brunson
9 Krzysztof Jotko
10 Vitor Belfort

BP is the champ for a reason

Cause he is the best middleweight on the planet

 

[DIABOLUS]

GSP doesn't "need" (want) a tuneup fight because he doesn't want people to know how rusty he is. This MW title shot is a cash grab, nothing more.

Anyone who seriously thinks GSP is going to defend against Yoel, etc. is deluding themselves.

 

[DoopidyDawesome]

He does need a tune up fight. I feel that DC could very well wreck a rusty Jones. He gave a prime Bones the best challenge he's ever faced outside of Gus who had the luxury of fighting a lazy, untrained Jones.

 

[Scyther]

Jones is fighting DC and GSP is fighting Bisping, there's a difference there.

 

[EternalNoob]

How funny would it be If he lost the fucking tune up fight?

Like what if they gave him Durkin and he wrestled to an SD. Or even better, clipped him with a sloppy haymaker.

No, I am not saying I think that would be the outcome, but it's MMA. You never know

Johnson just has zero heart, and I mean zero heart. I have never seen such a talented guy with so little guts in my life. He literally does not want to fight unless he is dominating every second of it.

 

[lostdog000]

Nobody needs a tuneup for bisping

 

[ClosetVitorFan]

Bisping is the tune up fight for GSP. If Yoel was champ GSP would still be retired

 

[Hoosier205]

Jones doesn't NEED a tuneup fight. He deserves one. He hasn't earned a title shot yet. GSP doesn't have the same baggage.

 

[Shoot Boxe Hero]

Is he taking a tune-up fight? I haven't seen any news about what he decided

 

[bubby]

In no way is D.C. undefeated.
Jones made him his bitch. That happened, regardless of your tears.

 

[bubby]

Jones doesn't NEED a tuneup fight. He deserves one. He hasn't earned a title shot yet. GSP doesn't have the same baggage.

Gsp is coming off a loss in a lighter division and hasn't fought in 4 years.

 

[Hoosier205]

Gsp is coming off a loss in a lighter division and hasn't fought in 4 years.

GSP hasn't lost a fight since April 7, 2007. Twelve wins since then.

 

[Rittsy]

GSP should take a tune up fight as well.

 

[Cooliox]

DC addressed this recently. He said that GSP is disciplined outside of the cage- he's been training regularly, and keeping his focus, while adding to his game.... meanwhile Jones has been partying and definitely has not gotten better in the past year.
