ForrestGriffinFan101 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 He is possibly most well-spoken, respectful fighter that I have ever seen go into the octagon. He gets pumped for his first main event and decides to have some fun and everyone wants him to get ko'd now. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redders001 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 It just seemed completely out of place, considering the lack of trash talking or bad blood between these two, he was obviously just pumped up, but it was pretty disrespectful and uncalled for. I still want him to win though, that way we won't have to see Vera's ridiculous victory celebration again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdewitt Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I want Vera to win this after that. I'm not freaking out about Jones at the weigh-ins, it wasn't a huge deal, but I just thought it was cool how Vera kept his cool instead of stooping down to his level. And people he wasn't scared...he got more determined after that and now I'm even more excited for this fight. Vera via UD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortalchaos Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Well I don't like how Jones is being built up by a lot of people like he is the best thing since sliced bread. You would think he is the best Light Heavy to walk the face of the earth. Yeah he is on a good streak and did completely dominate Hammil until the legal elbows but it appears to be a bit of slop in his fighting. He's not as clean as a lot of the more experienced fighters. Yaeh he has had some wins, but over who exactly? This is really his first chance to prove he really does have something. I'm a Vera fan myself cause, well he is a hometown guy and I know his original coach in Hampton Roads, VA. That and I like his Muay Thai skills. Similar to how I do using the different kicks at different ranges and areas. I think the slop and over excitement is going to be how Jones is going to lose. I don't think it's going to be by KO but I think Vera will when from experience and technical prowess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's young and has a lot to learn, but the best step he could ever take he did..... going to Jacksons camp! He's training with some of the top fighters now! He's coming in a bigger 206 then before.

InvisibleControl Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I don't understand why Dana pushed him back. Staredowns like that are always fun to watch. Dana didn't stop other fighters when they were touching nose to nose like that so I don't know why he did it with bones. Stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safe_Screen_Name Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 It is irrelavent if he was acting or not. I finally watched the vid after seeing all the flap and I gotta say if momentarilly getting in an opponents face is so bad to you than maybe you should look into another sport. If I had watched that vid without all the uproar it would have seemed a non incident to me, just a fighter trying to get folks pumped. Wimps!

TkoByMurder Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Good little video explanation by Jonny Bones A couple things i will say, Bones is a young fighter and as a young fighter he hasn't had to deal with these experiences yet so yeah it looks like he got a little fired up I dont see this as a big deal. So far in his UFC career he has handled his opponents, the publicity and the hype with the kind of poise you would expect from someone much older and seasoned. In interviews he always shows respect to his opponents and if anything, he is slightly self-deprecating, stating on several occasions that he is young and still learning. In MMA you are bound to run into at least one opponent that rubs you the wrong way, thats just reality. Vera is not a bad guy either but he has a history of being a little ****y with his comments (wasn't he supposed to be the HW and LHW champ at the same time?) The point is, the comments have probably been bothering Bones for a while but rather than trash talk, he stayed quiet and it just boiled over a bit. He didn't really talk much trash on that vid after either so that leads me to believe he's just a bit more fired up than normal. Seems like he is aware of it and likely won't let it lead him to fight sloppy out of anger. I see Jones and Vera being an exciting fight when they are on the feet. Likely there will be some clinching and grappling and thats where i believe Bones's superior athleticism will shine. Look for him to thrown/trip and posture up in a dominant position and rain down (legal) strikes. He just needs to avoid Vera's big kicks and muay thai strikes and make sure he's aware of Vera's hip position on the ground, and don't leave an arm or his head out for the taking. I expect a good performance from Bones and hopefully after his last fight the Vera of old will show up. We should learn a lot about both fighters from this one.
