Just watched the last ufc event,jones is untouchable right now..i think theres only evans who would come close to beating him...something about him though that i just dont like..cant put my finger on it....also how good did date diaz look..great transition into that arm bar and is like a clone of his bro wen it comes to striking!

he looked a million times better than he did up again dong hyun kim, who made him look poor on teh ground.

Couple of people told me they don't like Jones, what's not to like?

He's arrogant and thinks he's the best fighter of all time already.

I think Rashad has a shot against him, there aren't too many better wrestlers in MMA, how does Jones use his striking if Rashad does a lay and pray for 5 rounds?!

I can't claim to have watched every interview or piece of the build up to this last fight, but it was an old favourite of mine Rampage who was coming across as a bit of nob, especially with his British team behind him. As Jones said, a bunch of yes men there to inflate his already large ego.

I agree that Evans has a good chance against Jones, he has the speed and the physical attributes to match him without a doubt, however with Jones' freakish reach and unorthodox striking, my money would be on him to keep Rashad off him and win a UD or late stoppage.

Rampage has been a joke since he started training at the Wolfslair, he's only ever been in 1 good fight I can remember (vs Dan Henderson at UFC in London).

I'd be interested to see what Jones' chin is like aswel, he's never really been hit, once somebody figures out how to get in range he'll be screwed.

Saying hes been a joke is a touch harsh..while i agree hes certainly not evolving any more to challenge for the title hes had some decent finishes in the ufc (liddell,wanderlei,jardine etc) and beating machida is no joke (which i believe he did)..ask rashad evans if thats an easy task!!

This weekends card is actually quite good, looking forward to the return of the Mouth Of America Chael Sonnen returning.

Exellent card on paper tomorrow night....id go for edgar,aldo,sonnen and guillard...dont no who else is on it? Is pham garcia rematching on this one??

Anyone see the ufc Live last week? Really good card ,some good fights...danzig wiman was a war.

"Anderson Silva, you suck".

Got to love Chael Sonnen.

And even better is his twitter feed, cant remember it word for word, but something like.

"@ Bigfoot Silva. Theres a story which I can read where after every page your head will get bigger and bigger. Oops, you must have heard it already."

Chael Sonnens an idiot.....words like ' you lose you leave the division,i lose i leave the ufc forever' belong in the wwe....hes an embarassment to a sport trying to look ligitimate to the knockers..

All that said,as a fighter hes very good,made Stann look very average. Wouldnt surprise me if he beat Silva.....i really hope not,would love anderson to shut him up once and for all!

Oh no see I think it made it waaaay more fun. The media even reported and agreed with you quoting

'WWE or UFC? Chael Sonnen blurs the line'


It's a kind of you go or I go fight that will draw the numbers if it happens, Dana White even tweeted "Sh*t just got real" when Sonnen said it. This has lead to Silva's manager coming out and saying Sonnen should be "in jail" Haha.

I don't particularly like Sonnen or Silva to be honest and yes it smacks of desperation to gain a rematch on Chael's part BUT how funny will it be if Silva beats him in round 1 come the rematch.

Simply wont happen though. Sonnen will put Silva on his backside for 80% of the 1st round.

I have a Brazillian mate who loves his MMA, and Anderson Silva in particular. What are other MMA fans overall view of him? My mate reckons he's one of the best of all time but obviously knowing next to nowt about the sport I can't exactaly argue with him.

Ceal Sonnen is a bit of a racist with some of the stuff he says about fighters from other countries but I do find the other stuff he has to say very funny.

Anderson Silva has proven time and time again why hes the best pound for pound fighter in the world,beating everyone in front of him in the ufc and Sonnen can b!tch all he wants..he made a mistake and was beaten fair and square...i hope he shuts sonnen up for good and moves on from this clown.

As someone has said though expect sonnen to go for the same game plan as the first fight and take him to the ground at every opportunity for the full fight playing on probably andersons biggest weakness...like iv said i think sonnen could take that fight unless we see something special from silva (which isnt unusual by the way)

Really? i very much doubt anderson silva will walk away because sonnen says so...its all fake,transparent nonsence but your probably right the americans will buy into it without a doubt.

Dana White already stated that it would be near impossible to stage such a fight with the implications that Sonnen wanted, with their previous contracts etc...

I think Chael should have called out maybe Vitor or even challenged the winner of Bisping Vs Mayhem Miller as the winner would automatically be given a shot at Anderson anyway, but I suppose hes had to live with the fact that he should have beaten Silva last year and thats been eating away inside of him for so long now.

The only people who stylistically can beat Anderson in his division or lower are Sonnen and GSP because of their dominant wrestling. Dont get me wrong, Silva is dangerous anywhere in the cage including off his back but fighting the fight they want and winning by a boring lay and pray is the only way your going to be able to beat such a dominant fighter.

One side of me wants Sonnen to win, I like him and Id like to see Silva knocked off his perch finally. But the other side of me says, we have to see the superfight that is GSP vs Silva and even possibly then if Silva wins, is to fight maybe Jon Jones in another monster fight. Those 2 fights alone would send the PPV figures through the roof and would elevate MMA over boxing as the only fight boxing could respond back with would be Pac Man vs Mayweather.

Pretty much agree with all of that except th Sonnen winning bit.

Dont think we'll see GSP v Silva...GSP never seems convincing to me when talking about moving up to middleweight.

RE anderson silva, have a quick listen to this, Forrest GRiffin talking about facing him, pretty funny. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1R50LpFh_M

Good lad Forrest, seeing the funny side. Would have given Silva a bit of a better run earlier in his career, unfortunately his defend with your face style caught up with him in the end.
I think Sonnen can beat Silva, the guy is the best wrestler I've seen in the UFC and literally gives you no time to put anything together before he takes you down. With the experience of the last Silva fight I would actually bet on Sonnen. It would be boring but they're in there to win fights first and foremost, not entertain.

To be honest i dont think Sonnen is one of these boring lay and pray wrestlers....hes always busy on the ground and looking for a finish...i agree he has a great chance of beating silva,i just dont like the way the guy comes across most of the time....he does have his moments though when you just have to laugh.

He's a cock but the sport needs him IMHO.

Anyone going to the ufc event in birmingam?? Got tickets and hotel booked....not the greatest event but been to a couple of events in birmingham and manchester and both been great....looking forward to it.
