Jon Jones will fight Daniel Cormier at UFC 178

[DC 536]

Jon Jones is a f*cking child.

[Maxximus 353]

I kinda hope he wins. :lol

[Guest John Hancock]

The only reasons I want Jon Jones to win is, one, he's one of the few guys left with a genuine gimmick, I feel like DC would become a lot more boring without Jones, and, two, I really want Jones vs. Cain.

[Guest The Beltster]

I wonder how Jones will spin this or will it just be more of the usual empty apologies? "I'm ashamed I acted that way, it wont happen again....at least until the next time."

[The Fury 65]

Jones is injured and fights moved to January

[Guest John Hancock]

For all the f*ck. It's gutted UFC 177 by taking one of it's title fights. 177 and 178 are both dead now.

[Evil Gringo 279]

Torn menescus (sp?) ligament and sprained ankle in his right leg sustained during wrestling practise, the fight has been moved till the 3rd of January 2015. The 125lb title fight will now headline the ppv instead after being moved back from the card on the 30th...

 

DC has stated he took the fight with a pre -existing injury so this will also give time to be 100% healthy but he was powering through it to have this fight and he hoped that Jones could have done the same.

 

All I will add is I thought Jones would try and duck this fight and an 'injury' would crop up. Seen as their is no surgery planned I doubt the damage is that bad. So surprise Jones is a bit*h once more.

[Guest The Beltster]

Running scared! Chicken shit f*cker!

He'll also almost be 36. I wonder who the oldest UFC fighter is to win their first title.

 

I get someone's got footage of Greg Jackson doing an insurance job on Jon's legs.

[Evil Gringo 279]

I said after the fight at the press event when Jones just threw himself at DC regardless of what possible injury he could suffer that he did not want this fight. He wanted Gus because he knew he would get no where as close as the first fight at defeating him as he literally shot his load trying to win last time. So annoyed right now REALLY annoyed.

Randy was 34 when he won the Heavyweight Title in 1997, so I'd guess he's the oldest. He was 43 when he won it the second time and 45 when he lost it to Brock.

[Guest John Hancock]

The NSAC disciplinary hearing regarding the press conference brawl is happening right now. Turns out Nike dropped Jon Jones because the fight breached the morality clause in his contract with them. Jones' lawyer also said another, anonymous, big sponsorship deal also fell apart during negotiations because of it.

 

EDIT: $50,000 fine and 40 hours community service for Jones. Cormier up next.

 

EDIT2: $9,000, 20 hours for Cormier. Jones has to do his community service in Las Vegas, Cormier can do it wherever he wants. Round 1 goes 10-8 Cormier.

It's fair enough. Jones got in his face, Jones threw the takedown and Jones was the one throwing punches.

 

Plus no more of those annoying Bones Knows T-Shirts and that arrogant ...and still top is also no more. Thank you Nike. You may run sweatshops, make overpriced trainers, terrible overpriced football kits and made those shirts in the first place but thank you for dropping Jones.

[Guest The Beltster]

Nike make awesome shoes.

[Evil Gringo 279]

Never said they weren't good shoes, I said they were overpriced shoes.

 

The football shirts they make however are both overpriced and terrible.

[Guest The Beltster]

Never said they weren't good shoes, I said they were overpriced shoes.

Eh I dunno, overpriced in comparison to what? Adidas, Reebok, all these guys are on the same price level, they are priced at current market standards and they are known as the industry leader so I cant say they're overpriced anymoreso than anybody else. The tech they put in their shoes now is much better than anybody else too.

[Guest John Hancock]

Funny to think that Nike have gone from three reigning UFC champions to none. First dos Santos, then Silva, now Jones.

[Evil Gringo 279]

Do they still sponser JDS and Silva?

[Guest John Hancock]

I think so. They both still have pages on the Nike Store website, and JDS did a bunch of media stuff from the Brazilian national team recently, who are a Nike team. If you want to see Silva at his completely unrecognisable natural bodyweight, he makes a cameo in Nike's World Cup advert.

[Evil Gringo 279]

Yes I recall, he looked immensely beefed out. Who was it he was squaring up to in that advert, I didn't recognise him.

 

As for Nike shoes, my final word on them is that all trainers are overpriced but Nike and Adidas make the best ones outside of skate shoes. Except for Shocks, I hate Nike Shocks.
