TransitionGame Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Admittedly odd comment. Just watched his highlight reel - those elbows especially when he mounts are scary. Before he got DQ'd (thought fight should have stopped earlier) it was sick what he was doing to his head. I definitely more like the strategy of mma but I am not squeemish in general with striking. But man - almost seems wrong when he is going off with elbows. So fast, brutal and cutting. When you see Vera facial expression after wears the elbow to his eye socket. Sick. Throw it out there - you guys think anybody out there that is doing so much scary damage? (Aldo's leg kicks are a scary second) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransitionGame Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Rampages punch to the Jaw! You ever see him on fight science? Yeah he has crazy power - but knockouts - Liddell, Rampage, Carwin, JDS - very impressive but not so scary(to me). Just go by by, lights out. Those elbows raining down and cutting, breaking sockets and the repetition seem a different category. Maybe I have been exposed to boxing too much - Tyson and Frazier seemed to have the corner on that market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransitionGame Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Forgot about Silva's demolition of Franklin - those knees and Franklin's nose. Pretty sick. But Jones seems to be consistently scary - not Silva all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransitionGame Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I'm sorry but Jose Aldo is the scariest thing out there Yeah his leg kicks are sick.

I just would not want to be mounted by Jones and feel the elbows and they aint gonna stop unless you tap, go out or ref steps in. And still your head splits open.

Beyond_the_Grave Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Jones will be a LHW champ one day. He will demolish Bader and I'll AV bet anyone on that. I do however, and this is gonna sound weird, wanna see him take a punch. I want to know who good his chin is, maybe after he beats Bader they'll give him a well rounded striker or the champ and then we'll see how he does. But until then I think Bones elbows, kicks, and wrestling are as beastly as they come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nizmo270r Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Bader will win he has fought tougher comp and he always gets counted out because he isn't flashy or in my opinion (black) Yes watching Jones doing the german suplex and a few to Bonnar was pretty cool but not enough for me to say "JBJ will smash anyone" Only sippin the JBJ Kool-Aid Aint drinking it yet Though if he does "destroy" Bader then we all will get to see him fight a Top 5 opponent either Shogun Rashad Rampage Machida T.Silva Great fights up ahead for JBJ!!
