Nostalgia: Dana Pranked. A Great UFC Moment.

[Leonard Haid]

For any of you who don't know the background to this, during a pre-fight face-off between DC and Jon Jones, all hell broke loose as they got into a scuffle. Fast forward 4 months later, and Jon Jones has a face-off with his next opponent, Rumble Johnson. Dana White is right there in the middle when the two face off...

Jon and Rumble were so friendly that they decided to call the fight off.

This makes me sad because while we didn't know it at the time this was the true end of the LHW golden age(2007-2015).

Actually funnier than I remembered it being

Felt like those days would be forever, didn't it.

Fuck you, USADA for making manlets king.

Still think Rumble was a terrible matchup for Jones at this particular time. Remember that overhand right Rumble dropped DC with? That shit was designed for Jones.

I would say that the golden age of LHW was before this.

Was the last of the summer wine.

Certainly a fuck site better than what we have today.

Dana White pranks are always good

It really did. Jones, Gus, Rumble, Davis, Bader were relatively young it felt like we'd have great fights for years to come. When you see the fighters slowly get old I guess you see it coming but in this case it was a total shock.

I'm stoked about Glover being champ though.

The funny part is that he's from that era that we're talking about, lol.

While it had moved away from the big 4 it transitioned seamlessly into the Jones era with a bunch of exciting new fighters. LHW from 2007 to 2015 was one big party even if I guess you could split it into 2 parts. The first part came to it's natural conclusion the second one not so much. Jones never got to fight Rumble or Davis and while we got the Gus rematch it was anticlimatic af.

Really sucks we never got that fight. I think Rumble had a good shot at beating Jones.

Dana White pranks are always good

Reminds me of Franklin's one knee gameplan. lmao

I'm still pissed rumble quit against dc the way he did. He didn't even try and legit gave the fight away.

Yeah the dissapointment was huge. That's the last thing you wanna see in titlefights. I think ever since Jones had to pull out Rumble just went with the motions. I noticed it with the interviews, his energy just sounded different.

Still no excuse for his gameplan vs DC in the rematch. The hell was that?

That's Crumble for you and I kept telling people DC was going to choke him out. Again.

 

[Hassan Mouzine]

The rematch is legit what I mean. He legit just drove right in to give DC the fight from the start. Was so strange. No other way to put it that he legit threw the fight.
