Jones/Rua will be a very interesting fight. BIG LOL to those who think Jones has no chance at defeating Rua.
When was the last time Rua looked overly-impressive?!
Was it the submission loss to Forrest?!
Or the TKO gassing over Coleman?!
Maybe it was the KO over an over-the-hill Liddell.
Nah, it's got to be the 5 round squeaker with Machida (I gave Shogun that fight).
Oh wait, you're talking abuot the KO over Machida (his last fight).
Such short term memory displayed in this entire thread by everyone EXCEPT a select few.
On the flip side, when was the last time Jones DIDN'T look impressive?!
To say his title shot hasn't been earned is an insult. The only man I think that could have an argument for a title shot before him would be Rampage, and there is no way in hell Rampage is taking a title shot this short notice!
Props to Jones for stepping up and taking this opportunity iof a lifetime.
BONES WILL BE CHAMPION MARCH 19TH.
fwiw, Shogun is saying that Rampage was offered the fight, and he probably did pass because of the reason Demon mentioned
