Disappointed at the end result, but i don't think it was a bad fight. I was virtually shouting at my tv at teh end "DON'T GIVE HIM YOUR BACK!!!!" next thing you know tap-tap-tap.
Rampage did better than i thought, threw the most kicks i've ever seen him throw that's for sure.
It's obvious to anyone with working eyes that Jones falls short when it comes to knock-out power. Looks to me like he knows this himself and doesn't even try and play that game. I knew he was never going to KO Rampage, but i thought it'd be a tko rather than a submission.
You can say what you like about Rampage but he was nothing but respectful in his post-fight interview. I was a little surprised. No excuses, just that Bones was better. Jones did act like an ass at points in the fight and i just wanted Rampage to break his jaw, but i let that slide when he made it clear how Rashad had "ruined his special night twice".
Lol. Ghey. I half-expected to see tears in his eyes.
This for me was the true test of Jones, and after that i don't think Rashad is going to trouble him too much.
On the topic of Jones' size, yeah he's got that height and more importantly the massive reach but look at his structure. Like somebody already said he's got chicken legs. They're possibly skinnier than his less than hefty arms. For me he's pretty much got the choice of being a big LH, or a small LHW. Clear which he'd have more success as. Having said that, it might not be a bad thing if classes were a weight and height range. I watched a fight not too long ago, i think it was maybe Miguel Torres vs some munchkin. Torres is a bit like a smaller Jones 5'9" with a 76 inch reach at 135lbs(stats that should be possible, no man over 5' should weigh 135lbs) and his opponent was 5'3" or so. It was a completely pointless fight.
