TheSquizz Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Very valid point. At first I picked Jones' date=' but then when I started thinking about it...I asked myself....WHY am I picking Jones? He hasnt accomplished 1/10th of what Shogun has yet. You know why I picked Jones? I let the hype get to me. I let all the media, his attitude, all get to me. Its absolutely absurd that Jones is the almost 2 to 1 favorite. Shogun via TKO. It will be good for Jones I think. I hate to say it, but I think hes letting all the hype get into his head. Maybe Im wrong, we will all see this Saturday [/quote'] I couldn't agree more with that comment in the comment box of the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly believe he is the future of the sport. But, his competition level has not exactly been the best. Shogun is a proven fighter, and while his time in the UFC started off slow, the last 3 fights have been him getting back up to his old self. Will he show up, he should. But MMA fans should recognize that Bones is still untested and Rua is a HUGE threat to everyone, even on a bad night. I think Rua will win, but Bones will put on a good show and the people who think Bones is all hype will see that he is a little hype with a lot of natural skill who still needs more work and experience.

I dont think anyone would anything bad to say if he just believed in himself. Confidence is good, people like other people who are confident. Being arrogant and delusional are another thing completely. A challenger saying "I will be the champ" and "I'm already the champ" are very different.

ThePredictor Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I think Shogun's manager is right...

Jokerslastlaugh Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Lmao +1 I think it's amazing how Shogun's manager summed this up better than I ever could and English isn't even his native language. I have really come to like Shogun's manager, and I always compare him to Anderson Silva's. Shogun's seems to be much more humble and in tune with reality. As a translator he is much clearer in his punctuation and grammar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePredictor Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I think Shogun's manager actually has a pretty good grasp on what's going on. People have Bones as the favorite and his biggest win is Bader... and I don't think that compares to the wins Shogun has (Rampage, Overeem, Machida <---KO's by the way). I can understand Shogun's frustration feeling a little overlooked by ****y Jon Jones. The only legitimate reason I can see people picking Bones would be based off Shogun's inconsistencies as a fighter (injuries). By the way, if Jon Jones eats a few of Shogun's leg kicks he is going to be hurtin' big time because his legs are about as big around as broom sticks while Shogun's look like tree trunks.

toadstoolicious Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Jones could be the next Brandon Vera. Knocking people out here and there then goes on to fight a big name and loses. Then goes to fight nobodies afterward, then fights Couture and loses. Then fights a newcomer and gets destroyed. What?

scheradon Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 good interview' date=' shogun's manager made some really good pointsWAR Shogun![/quote'] I have to agree. I can't wait for this fight as I really have no idea how it's going to go down. I do know though, that Shogun will have a chip on his shoulder and something to prove to all these people putting him at a 2-1 underdog along with Jones already signing "Champ 2011". I think we'll be seeing a very motivated Shogun. Will that be enough? We'll see...can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

150dbXfitter Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 It was a good interview, but I tend to think that the same thing coming from Ed Soares would draw much hate. I'm not trying to turn this into a Silva v. Rua thread just making an observation. I think he is correct in his thoughts. I do not know if Jones is ready for the style of aggression that Rua brings as Jones has not fought someone touted as highly in the strinking department as Rua is. He has fought decent strikers, but Rua is in the elite class in that department (as far as MMA strikers go) and to say anything else is delusional. Jones will lose in the stand up. If it goes to the ground, which I feel it will (off a caught leg kick) we will see how much improved Ruas submissions are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
