Listen suckmensmuscles, I'm a fan of watching brutality. Period. Whether UFC, old pride, strikeforce, etc. The plain reality is that UFC is tops right now. There isn't much else on. I really don't know how this qualifies me as a "fan boy".
The simple truth is you HATE anything UFC. You always back old pride fighters and root against UFC born fighters. It's really very obvious. This is why you can't stand Jones beating up on your pride boys. Everytime an old pride vet loses to a UFC fighter, you cry like a little bitch, or make up ridiculous excuses as to why they lost, i.e. Jones and his reach.
CockTrain, you stupid queer, if I hated the UFC I wouldn't have watched each and every one of it's editions since the first one in 1993 when Royce shocked the World and won it all. Trust me: I have been watching the UFC for much longer than you, and I can discuss in detail fights that happened in the UFC 15 year ago or more when you were still a baby whining just like you do now. The reason why I say PRIDE was better is because it was. I hate ad hominem arguments, but in this case which is "better" is subjective, so ad hominem applies, and the bottom line is that most people who watched both regard PRIDE the better promotion.
And I think Jon Jones is phenomenal. His speed, coordination and wrestling skills are great. The speed and precision with which he moves his limbs while striking is extremely impressive. He is a very gifted athlete. And I have already said that even if he were 5'11 or so with a 76" reach that he would still be a top 3 LHW because of his athleticism and wrestling.
My point, which you f.aggots don't seem to get, is that his advantage in reach and muscle is such that they represent a great advantage against LHWs. It is the fact that he is a top fighter in terms of talent who also is very significantly superior physically to his opponents that allows him to cimpletely demolish top LHWs without even breaking a sweat. I just watched the Jones vs Shogun fight again and it was like a grown man beating up a child. And I mean this literally. Not only did Jones destroy Shogun without any effort, but Jones was so superior to Shogun in height and muscularity that Shogun looked like a child next to him.
No one owns Shogun like that. Even the most talented fighter ever would not be able to destroy Shogun without any effort considering that Shogun is one of the top 3 LHWs ever and had 10 X more experience than Jones when they fought. Even if Jones is the most talented fighter ever, he should at least have struggled to beat him given that Shogun is one of the greatest ever and had 12 years of professional MMA experience compared to Jones who was neophyte. I don't care how gifted you are, a noob fighter is not going to toy with Shogun like that on only talent. Rampage and Machida are also top LHWs with years(plural) of fighting experience and they had nothing for Jones.
Jones has huge physical advantages over the other LHWs. His reach is so ridiculous that even in the HW ranks there is nobody with limbs as long as him! Not even Stefan Struve or Overeem, both over 6'5!!! How is your average LHW at around 6' or so going to compete with that? What about strength? Have you seen how muscular Jones is? He could step onstage at a bodybuilding contest and do well. Not only is he significantly heavier than only 205 lbs on fight day, but far more of his weight is muscle compared to the other LHWs. Compare his musculature's to that of Shogun or Machida. No contest.
Jones has pretty big physical advantages in reach and strength compared to the other LHWs. Cry all you want, but facts are facts. If he moves up to HW and does to JDS what he did to Shogun, then I will proclaim Jones as not only the greatest HW but the greatest pound-for-pound fighter. But we all know he can't hang with top heavyweights even though he would still have a reach advantage over them, which proves my point that he is not as great as you make him to be.
