UFC 140: Jones v. Machida

[Ren]

What time do you guys think the main even will start?

I have a Xmas party to go to and it starts at the same time the entire event starts.

I know they have the fights set for predetermined times but I've never paid attention to when that is.

impossible to say for sure but usually around 5am for me so 11pm EST

I thought they slotted the fights.

You account for max fight time and add a few minutes to do follow-up, when enough time accumulates over the night, they throw in an undercard that wasn't schedule to be shown.

Not how it works?

Tito is done.

 

[tupperware]

Woooooooooooooooooooow at the Mir fight.

 

[tupperware]

Impressed Hostile?

 

[TheCount]

I love this kid.

Hey, I picked 4 out of 5, not bad. Should have had more faith in the Korean Zombie, but who sees a 7 second knockout coming?

 

[Sasquatch]

Some violent finishes tonight.

4 seconds.

 

[tyke1doe]

They're running out of opponents for Jones.

That boy iz bad.

He guillotined Machida so bad, Machida was out from a standup position.

I'd love to see Jones and Anderson Silva go at it.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Great card.


Jones can almost choose his method of victory.

Great job by McCarthy. Dont know how he saw that

lol, I understand why people say this because it's like a fantasy matchup, but it's never going to happen just like GSP vs Silva will never happen.

 

[Hoofbite]

I missed the entire card up until the break between the 1st and 2nd round of the main event.

John Jones finished that fight about as impressive as I've seen.

That cut was immediately visible and the choke almost looked effortless on his part.

Pretty bad *** to see him just let go and walk away, Machida falls almost like he was dead.

Pretty crazy.

 

[Sasquatch]

I thought Machida's standup was good but he was toast once Jones got him on the ground and started feeding him elbows.

 

[Sasquatch]

So who do you think is next in line for Jones?

 

[Hostile]

Impressed Hostile?

Didn't get to see any of the fights.

 

[Sasquatch]

Didn't get to see any of the fights.

You missed Mir break Big Nog's arm with a viscious kimura (Nog refused to tap until it was too late) and a lifeless and bloody Machida falling to the mat like a ragdoll after Jones put him to sleep with a standing guillotine and just dropped him when the ref stopped the fight.

I wonder what the reaction would have been had this card been the one to air on Fox?

 

[TheCount]

So who do you think is next in line for Jones?

Rashad, I'd think. Jones is taking a break, I don't expect to see him fight again for 6 months.

 

[Sasquatch]

Rashad, I'd think. Jones is taking a break, I don't expect to see him fight again for 6 months.

Yeah, he's been a very busy man this year.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Jon Jones is without a doubt the real deal. If there were any doubters left, and honestly I don't understand how there could have been, he's silenced them all.

That dude is just an absolute beast.

Mir was nasty as well.

 

[tyke1doe]

Rashad, I'd think. Jones is taking a break, I don't expect to see him fight again for 6 months.

Before or after the Rashad fight?

If Machida - who I thought had a better chance than anyone - can't beat Jones, Rashad has virtually no chance.
