Jon Jones
« on: December 06, 2009, 02:29:43 PM »
This kid has a world of physical ability and what appears to be a great attitude.

The beatdown he gave Hammil was absolutely savage-- It sucked that he got DQ'd. The fight was long over before he landed the straight elbow.

If he can work on his conditioning and striking technique a little, he will be a force in the 205 divison.

After watching this 22 year old embarass Bonnar and Hammil, I think he's ready to move up in the division and fight some of the more prominent names at 205.

That aside, I felt awful for Hammil-- really tough guy mentally and physically, but just did not have the tools to hang with Jones.

The akwardness of his striking style and his giant reach actually are good things, Greg Jackson is just focusing on the timing of his strikes and the setting up of his strikes which is the key for Jones.  His wrestling is top notch and he's got a bright future ahead.  His conditioning is fine, he just didn't pace himself and got careless when he was going for the kill, which is both why he started gassing and got DQ'd.

 40/61

Those were some of the most vicious elbow's the UFC's ever seen!!! goddamn, Hamil's face looked f*cked up after, his nose looked cave in, it reminded me of what Anderson did to Franklin's face with his knees!

He'll be a force @ 205.  I wanna see him fight Brandon Vera!

He is a beast, and is extremely humble.  Jackson & Winklejon will make him better.
