The result was a GSP performance that was far from his best and he actually lost rounds for the first time in years. I felt the judges were very kind to Shields that night. It wasn't GSP's best performance by any stretch of imagination, but I still had him pitching a shutout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted July 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 23, 2017 Jones' death stare at the end made me look away from the screen. Terrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted July 23, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 23, 2017 He's definitely got that Simon Phoenix off Demolition Man vibe about him. No fucks given whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Cormier seems rattled. In all seriousness I fear for his mental state if Jones beats him next week. His entire career is defined by Jon Jones and he knows it. Looks like it consumes him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzExile Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 FIGHT WEEK! Please, please, please let this fight happen. I backed DC as he's such long odds, but I agree with Marshmallo. He's a terrible actor if he's trying to portray confidence and security in himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's anything but rattled in that interviewed. Personally he looks more focused than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Christ, Jones looks like he's set to kill someone. I have a feeling Cormier is gonna get fucked up in this fight, big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted July 24, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 24, 2017 I thought, if anything, Jones was wearing his emotion a lot more than DC. No idea if that's a good or bad thing, but DC has clearly rattled Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted July 24, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 24, 2017 I don't know who's rattled, or if either of them are really. I just hope this fight actually happens this time. You'd think we'll be OK now but they got right to the 11th hour at UFC 200 and it still went tits up. You never know with Jones. Five days is a long time for Jones to go without being a fuck up. I'll believe it when I see it. If it falls apart again though, fuck am I ever doing a preview post again for these two.

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted July 24, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 24, 2017 Jeff Wandenheim. Indeed. Even if Jones does a Jones, they've taken no chances with it tanking the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted July 24, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 24, 2017 He's shit, isn't he? The 'Horseman Paul Roma' of the MMA Beat. Proper odd one out. He's so dull he has to wear those loud shirts so you know he's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted July 24, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 24, 2017 Nah I like Roma. His shoot interview is brilliant and made me wish he was cast in the Sopranos. But he was the odd one out in the Horsemen. He stuck out like a sore thumb next to old man Flair and chubby balding Arn. He just didn't fit. Wagenheim is similar for me on the MMA Beat. Although in the other direction. He sticks out because the others all bring something to the discussion and he just brings tacky Hawaiian shirts and the word 'meritocracy' all the time. He's cack. Like an unwanted WCW Galoob in a box of WWF Hasbros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
