Watching back some Velasquez fights, I honestly don't know why most people are saying he stands no chance against JDS. Yeah, he obviously lost to him, and it was nice that JDS caught him off guard and found an opening to deliver that knockout blow, but Cain has gotta be working his ass of as a monster right now, and it'll be really hard to get that shot on him again. Cain is a cardio freak, a VERY dangerous striker, fantastic wrestler, and has tremendous strength. And he's going to be much better then he was last time against JDS.
you're kidding, right? you really don't understand why people would dislike him?
No. I dont. If people dont like him for personal reasons, meh I dont really give a shit. I just watch and care about whats going on in that ring, and to me, dude has been doing his thing in there.
Just came to post that too. Rough fucking month for UFC
Funny thing is, this things origanally had two pretty big main-events. Cormier/Mir and Melendez/Healy for the lightweight title. Mir and Melendez get injured and everything falls through.
yeah, i meant Jones on a personal level. the way you structured your first sentence, i thought you truly didn't know why anyone would dislike Jones at ALL. as far as fighting/ability/demeanor in the octagon, yeah, he hasn't really done anything wrong at all.
"You know, in my last fight, I fought injured and had all those problems behind that. I said, I'm not going to risk that again. I said, I'll just pull out of this fight and come back strong. I want my next fight to be as close to 100 percent as possible and show the world what I can do... I just regret losing to a person like Ryan Bader. He sucks. He sucks. I'll say it to his face. He sucks. He talked all that trash on how he was going to knock me out. Obviously he knew I was injured because I didn't make weight. I talked to him man to man and said, 'Look, lets make it an exciting fight.' I knew there was a chance I was going to lose, but I don't want to lose a boring fight in Japan. He made the fight really boring. I got no respect for a guy like that. He sucks."
Rampage also said he lost all of his love for fighting when he lost to Forrest, which is really weird because right after that fight he nearly killed Wand.
Dos Santos says if it ever comes to it and if the UFC tells him to do it, he would fight Jon Jones. Sounds VERY plausible in the next couple years. I'd mark the fuck out if it happens.
