Haha I have been switching back between fights, but there is no denying how entertaining MMA is.

I will deny it. I watched one fight at a friend's house in college one time, I didn't get it then and I've managed to avoid it since. I don't get the appeal. It is just two guys rolling around on the ground with one another.

Then football is just 22 guys playing in grass. Come on now.

Looks like Jones has DC rattled early. Lots of landed kicks and the 1st takedown of DC in his career.

DC will need good ground defense if he's on his back. Elbows in tight will hurt.

I give the 1st round to Jones.

DC landed some decent shots, but not nearly the quantity as Bones.

The reach advantage is so significant, and Cormier hasn't been able to get into his body.

Great comeback round for Cormier!

Landed some great shots, got Jones in tight unlike the 1st.

Corner is telling him, "that's the dog fight we want!"

Bones pokes DC in the eye... looks unintentional.

Jones continues to land short elbows from the clinch.

Was about to say idk who to give the 3rd round to, but DC lands a big takedown with seconds to go!

So far it looks like DC's fight but it's entirely too close too call. Let's see if they can make it 2 more!

Looks like the 4th could be the difference in the fight.

Big round for Jones, 2 big takedowns against the fence.

Lots of grappling in the 5th. DC trying so hard to get a takedown, finally gets one but Jones pops up.

Big spinning elbow from Jones.

Looks like Jones is still the champ!!!

49-46, unanimous decision for Jones.

After all the pre-fight hype, a little uneventful. Oh well.

Really excited for McGregor-Siver in Boston on the 18th.

When/why did the crowd turn on Bones lately? I always thought he was a fan favorite.

After all the drama leading up, I think it was almost like Rocky-Drago or bust.

From Thug Life at the beginning to Hug Life at the end.

Jones too long this time. They will meet again.

Royce won UFC 1, 2 & 4 and won every match at 3 till he broke his hand and withdrew...so he didn't change it, he defined it.

Sonen is a by product of the Tito, Iceman, Lesnar progression. Dana and the Fertitta's aren't stupid. Watch what makes Vince McMahon, Bob Arum and Don King billions and copy it.

.

There was MMA before the UFC.

Gonna wait for tomorrow to hear the press conference.

It was announced tonight that McGregor will fight Jose Aldo for the Featherweight Title with a win over Siver!

Sure... you do understand Bloodsport was a movie, right?

There were @ 257 fans of MMA outside of Japan and Brazil in '93 before the UFC started.

So I guess you are right.
