Rockhold vs jones

[abrasion]

Wasnt all that long ago that some sherdoggers were claiming luke would be a threat to claim the ufc lhw title. In lieu of recebt events what say you now. Still convinced?

 

[Bewareofdawg]

Yeah and before that, people were saying Weidman was a threat to him. I may start calling for a Bisping/Jones superfight just for the helluvit. I'm sure some people think Bispings a threat now.

What was even more funny was people thinking that Weidman could beat Jones. Delusion at its finest.

 

[El Fernas]

Weidman and Luke look dominant at 185, Weidman beating Silva not only once but twice, and him beating some 205´ers including former champ Forrest Griffin is what gives sherdoggers the idea that they could hang with JBJ, but i trully doubt it, Chael and TRTVitor already tried.....we all know how that went down.

I made a Bisping vs Jones thread the night of the fights, got shut down REAL quick. Lol .

Fighter A beating fighter B doesn't mean anything relative to fighter C.
With their respective skill sets I think Jones/Rockhold would be an awesome fight.

 

[chitoortiz]

Jones would crush Luke.

 

[Breaking]

"In lieu of" means in place of--as in instead of.

And only idiots believed that. Are you really inviting all of the idiots into your thread?

 

[Melas Chasma]

Well, I dont think Jones would have finished Rockhold like Bisping did.. Jones boxing is garbage compared to Bispings.

 

[Captain_Dammitt]

Nope. Never thought that. Jones is the Kratos to the mma gods.

I'm so tired of people spouting shit like this. Bendo vs. GSP. GSP vs. Anderson. Anderson/Luke/Chris vs. Jones. Jones vs. Cain.

The only weight class that truly has an advantage over the next class up would be a Heavyweight vs a Super Heavyweight (which obviously doesn't exist).

Heavy beats Light Heavy
Light Heavy beats Middle
Middle beats Welter
So on, and so forth.

The Chris has a great chance if Jones doesn't poke his eyes out because he is got a great chin. Luke can sub Jones if he doesn't get KOed! So, MMA doesn't work!

Weidman gases after the first round of every fight.

It works out well for him when he can overwhelm his opponents. We saw what happened against Rockhold when he had somebody who could go toe-to-toe with him.

He would get crushed in the later rounds against Jones.

Why do people call Vitor TRT Vitor?

He was in no way shape or form on a legitimate Testosterone Replacement Therapy dose. If you believe he was you're a fool. He was using the term to allow for legal use of testosterone just like the rest of the guys doing it. They would use huge doses of test and only had to get down to normal range around fight time.

Vitor on just TRT would not have the androgens in his muscles like he did. Please people just call it steroid use.

If Machida can win a round against Jones. It is in the realms of possibility to think Rockhold could to. And If Vitor can almost catch an armbar, not impossible to think Rockhold couldn't find a submission. Now i'm not saying he should be the favourite, but he would have a chance.

I can play too: if Rockhold couldn't make it out of the first round against Vitor, how would he make it past the first 30 seconds with Jones?

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Jones would smash Rockhold, not a competitive fight at all. he would smash Bisping easily too.

I'm just saying I think Rockhold could do better than alot of people think. I would still pick Jones to win, but Rockhold could surprise people. Surprise not by winning, but I mean just performing better than people expect.

Assuming he is not hurt, but even if he is spent, I won't count him out because of one bad performance! Did you think he would beat the Spider?
