UFC Fight Night: Gustafsson vs. 'Rumble' Johnson (1/24/15). Winner fights Jon Jones

[Woosta]

If you thought he won vs Machida you probably didn't even watch that fight.

The reason he's still around is because he has elite wrestling that lets him survive, but he doesn't fight. He just point spars and wrestles.

Point sparring is not fighting. Wrestling is not fighting.

Gustaffson is a fighter.
Rumble is a fighter.
Jon Jones is a fighter.

All 3 have that fighter tenacity, that "look". Gustaffson isn't the same 1d as when Phil tapped him - he would kill Phil.

man Henderson is looking old =(

so what you're looking for is boxing?
this is mma.. u can win via strikes, submission, or ground+pound. 2 of the 3 you win when you're on the ground

just got in front of tv. What did I miss so far?

 

[JEDI]

speaking of Henderson, how much of the Strikeforce talent have ufc squandered?
or did they buy strikeforce just to get rid of the competition?

what happened w/Henderson's eye? he acted like he got poked before he got hit and went down?

ohh got hit in the eye and cut and couldn't see.

oh yeah bad stoppage.

though i don't think it would have changed the outcome.

 

[twofastxtreme]

Not the best stoppage, but Hendo was hurt for sure.

 

[JEDI]

holy.. Guf's ears.. cauliflower!

 

[waggy]

holy.. Guf's ears.. cauliflower!

[SlowSpyder]

Rumbled!

Wow... wrecked him.

 

[twofastxtreme]

Well that ended abruptly and not how I expected.

it looked like rumble only grazed guf's face? the majority of the force of the blow hit his shoulder?

 

[twofastxtreme]

Well it took Rumble 3 min to do what Jones couldn't do in 25. Lets see if he gets the title shot now.

 

[JEDI]

not sure he should be after that..holly shit.

meh.. jon jones will have a reach advantage over rumble.

and didn't DC also have knock out power? he's about the same size as rumble.
how did that go?

I don't know if DC has ever knocked anyone out...

I don't know... Rumble is a guy who finished Gus even after a rough eye poke, and it was a countershot.

DC is so damn intimidating as a wrestler that his hands look magical when an opponent isn't looking for it. Opponents of Rumble knows what's about to happen and still don't stop it. Rumble has Liddell-like speed and heavyweight power in his hands. The fact the fight was sealed after he got his eye poked only to respond with a counter right is elite against a striker that has such good footwork.

Literally, it's just as impressive as someone would be out-wrestling Jon Jones. Countering a precision-puncher... I hoped for it but didn't see it coming.
