You know...I'd love to see this fight: a healthy Shogun who doesn't get clipped with a flying knee in the 1st 2 seconds of the fight. The Shogun who fought Forrest the 2nd time is not the same guy who fought Jones.

It's really not even about the Bentley. I think that has been blown out of proportion. The kid deserves to buy himself a toy. I don't know....it just seems like he is really thinking he is untouchable right now. Now I agree, I can see why he would think that, but that usually leads to a loss. I like Jones and think he will have a really good career at LHW/HW, but I think he just needs to be humbled a bit before he can have that great career.

Hopefully that makes a little sense...

I have said from their first fight that a second fight with Shogun will be much different.

i love this board. =0)

great discussion guys

What do you think about Jones vs. Hendo?

I dont know because logic says Jones but then again Hendo has ridiculous KO power, good wrestling, a great chin, and will come forward after anyone. He wasn't supposed to beat Fedor either.

Also it was hilarious when he jumped on the scale (against Franklin) with clothes and a drink lol

i think its a great match up. if hendo was 5 years younger it would be even better.

IMO, Henderson would get fought with the same game plan that Rampage got fought with. He actually has the same wrestling style as Jones and I'm sure may be better. Henderson's stand up is about like Rampage. He looks for the looping right and if he can't get it, he tries the takedown. Jones could really use his reach against Henderson to when a victory. Think of Anderson vs Henderson but in a bigger weight class. If Henderson connects....that could be all she wrote. And we still don't know about Jones' chin. I really like Hendo though. I would be pulling for him.

Yes sir!! I am a huge fan of most of the Pride guys. That's where I became such a Shogun fan.

Yeah, I just don't know about the whole cheating thing that Sonnen referred to. It makes sense the way some fights turned out, but the big name fighters that were there are still big name fighters and are some of the best in the world

If there was ONE thing I wanted out of the Pride sale was to see a legit headkick KO from Cro Cop. I definitely got one but I just was hoping he would be the one doing the kicking.

Just for fun, I'd like to see Heno vs. Sonnen.
