Sir_Wesley_of_Wells Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 If he wants to stay at 205, I say let him fight Rampage. Maybe then 'Page will stop *****ing about always being matched up with wrestlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterdays_Hero Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Dana has obviously told him to retract/deny this statement to avoid making Jones look weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solomma1 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thought Vitor was gonna take advantage of the armbar damage but he didn't so im not sure if he deserves to fight Jones again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkLikeAWarrior707 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Didn't look like Vitor eased up on the armbar to me. I think he just said that in the heat of the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is saying he let it go completely but he did not keep progressive pressure on it and that brief moment he didn't allowed Jones to get his elbow out.

No one is saying he let it go completely but he did not keep progressive pressure on it and the moment he didn't allowed Jones to get his elbow out. But it's not like what people were saying, that he was afraid he was going to hurt Jones or that he let it go in an act of sportsmanship, he let it go out of reflex, maybe beacuse he thought he got it in the bag. I can guarantee though, what he's saying there is that he did not let go of the arm on his own will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyz765 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 He said he could do it better with more than 3 weeks of preparation and he deserve a second chance (he is not asking for a rematch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an instictive reaction that bought Jones a split second he needed to escape his elbow enough to relieve the pressure.

Striker_Kid Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Honestly I would rather see Vitor fight Jones again instead of Rampage, Shogun, Rashad, or Machida. Vitor put up a great fight and didn't really give up. All of the fighters Jones fought before Vitor basically gave up after getting cut or taking a couple elbows. This fight was awesome. I would love to see this fight happen again. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ is very smart' date=' and he will know how to defend the armbar. Please, JJ deserves real competition, not Vitor who has a history of getting defeated by former and present champions. Forget it. Vitor had heart and determination, but where he failed was in his mental strategy game plan. There are many more fighters who have the whole package( strategy, conditioning, determination, and skills ) like Gustafsson, Machida, Texeira, and Mousasi, not the 2 dimensional fighter Vitor is, which JJ also pointed this out. [b']Vitor just has hand strikes and punches and bjj, but lacks kicking offense and defense skills, wrestling control and reversals, and clinch work skills.

JimmyYO Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 For Vitor to threaten the most dominate LHW ever on short notice as a Middleweight is quite impressive. He needs to stay at LHW I'm thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ansem Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 I think Machida and Vitor deserve rematches, with both taking the fight on short notice and doing well, i'd like to see them have another chance with a full camp 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnidFightClub Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 if he goes stays at 205 and gets a fight with Jones again all he needs to do is watch there first and relize when he was just pushing forward throwing punches he was doing good and he needs to do it from the start in a rematch and next time if he gets an armbar like he did last time roll his head out from under him so he can pull Jones down so that he can have a full Russian armbar and break his arm or get the tap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just happened to be in the right place in the right time. I give him props for taking the fight on such short notice and definitely am impressed with how well he did. I wouldn't complain if he got another shot and would definitely watch it, but that doesn't mean he deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
