Arloski is back in the UFC. I have to say when him and Tim Slyvia were the two best how's in the UFC the HW division was almost unwatchable. I hope we never go back to the days of guys just leaning on each other ever again.

I'm pretty pumped for Bones/Glover.

Absolutely, every Jones fight has a huge feel to it and a certain hype. Scary thing is that he's not even in his prime yet.

Actually a terrible fight to watch unless you enjoy a complete dismantling. Davis never even got him on the ground once.

It was entertaining to me just to see the complete dismantling of Davis.

Got to give rd1 to Jones. Texeira held his ground, though.

sport- I'm using first row link 5 I believe. Its been really good.

That was an amazing card an and awesome title fight. Glover is a tough ass dude and he landed quite a bit on Jones(thought the commentary was very biased). Jon was just too big and creative especially against the cage, he uses his leverage to land stuff other people can't. Great bounce back from the Gus fight which a lot of people thought he lost.

Glover is tough, but I dont think the commentary was biased. When someone wins all 5 rounds, its hard to talk about what the other guy is doing right, id like to see the stats on the fight because Id bet Jones landed 4 or 5 to 1 in significant strikes and strikes in general probably 2 or 3 to 1

I just meant they wouldn't even acknowledge that he was landing anything, he was landing hard hooks and uppercuts. Jon won the fight hands down though. One of his more impressive performances. Glad he is putting HW on hold, he has work to do at 205.

I'm so impressed with Jone's adaptability and his ability to take a shot. The only person to ever really rock Jones was Lyoto Machida and he has fought some huge punchers. Glover has tremendous power and he was able to absorb them, very special athlete/fighter.

I enjoyed watching Jones, yet again. I don't understand how anyone could not like him. He fights every fight and he looks to finish whoever. Entertaining all the time.

Phil Davis got destroyed. That was very disappointing. He did absolutely nothing -- maybe 3 hits landed in the first 2 rounds.

I agree, he should have lost a point. The final result wasn't affected, but if Glover had won a round or 2 it would have mattered.

So who does everyone think Rumble fights next? He looked pretty impressive against Davis.

Winner of Bader and Feijao sounds good.

Or the winner of Henderson vs Cormier. Unless those two want to wait 9-10 months I between fights. I would guess Jones vs Gus will be about 4-5 months from now since we know Jones usually has longer layoffs I between fights then they would have to wait another 4-5 months for their turn at the title. Or the UFC could have them fight on the same card as Jones vs Gus as the title eliminator.
