Rampage can't seem to get on the inside to land his shots. Jones certainly using the reach advantage well (From what I hear).

The leg kicks are bound to take a toll now!

RiOtChEsS

Rear Naked Choke he was never in it

Justin Bieber

Just read what happened in round 3. Rampage got some good shots in the third.

Jones killed him :'(.

CrowsFan

Yeah Bones ;D

Would love to watch a fight between Bones and Anderson Silva if Silva went up to light heavyweight :)

RiOtChEsS

really look like he took Rampages desire to fight, he just couldnt get that distance to fire his hands off and as per usual that was his only plan... conditioning is one thing but the game plan is out dated :-X

RiOtChEsS

Rampage wants Shogun in Japan next and Rashard gets Bones next...

Seriously scour the earth cos this kid aint losin any time soon :-X

RiOtChEsS

Rampage would not have landed 10 grazing shots he could not get ahold of him whatsoever

I wouldn't mind those fights. Evans FTW :P.

of who is left i guess Rashard has the best chance bcos he seems to have got under Bones skin, if he decides to fight the way he did tonight tho nobody is going to touch him his physical advantage is just phenomenal...

Takinori Gomi was a Pride champion for ages but the fact that Nate Diaz had that significant reach advantage made it all but impossible for him to utilize his best attributes, these guys with massive reach and strong ground games can nullify the explosive strikers by exchanging from a distance and then clinching/takedowns when they come forward...

The great strikers need to become more well rounded, but even still they r at a major disadvantage...

RiOtChEsS

Rogan was speculating Jones had broken his foot by the way they were icing/strapping it... no updates as yet tho

Justin Bieber

It's the height and reach that gets to most fighters. I agree with you there Marcz. Although if they have the skill, could find a strategy to overcome it although a guy like Bones has a massive reach advantage not to mention if he wears down his opponent with those kicks of his.

Strikers do have to become more all round to adapt to this changing style. Although overcoming a reach disadvantage means they have to pick apart at their opponents weaknesses which can be hard as they need the openings (Rampage has a little opening before Jones ran away).

Gomi I think has a 1-3 record in the UFC :-\.

Jon Jones should fight heavyweight, His height and Reach is huge, not to mention the fact he is so skinny he could easily bulk up to the max.

It's unfair to have him fight at LH  :P

Justin Bieber

He could, but why move up when he can dominate at the LH? ::). I'd like to see how he goes in the Heavyweight division but he'd had to bulk up as you said. He's skinny which is why he sticks to LH :P.

Cas I hate him  :-X

Got this from MMAMania.
"The round ends with Jon Jones shooting a double and dumping Rampage after the horn sounded. Super disrespectful way to close."

He is a prick. Flower him, hope Rashard owns him.
Rampage would smash him in a fist fight  >:(

CrowsFan

Haha I love Jones ;D
Rampage wouldn't touch him in a fist fight due to the 30cm reach disadvantage :P
