SickJits.
I love Shogun more than any grown man should Admit, he's my favourite fighter.
Fact time:
Shogun has bad TDD. Jones has great Takedowns.
Shogun has good sweeps. Bones has great top control.
Shogun has amazing striking. Bones has a big enough brain not to strike with Shogun and will range him out and look to take him down.
No contenders? He humiliated Bader. Selective Memory.
Bones is a stylistic pain for Shogun.
Sickjits, don't talk like you know your arse from your elbow when all you can see is pathetic delusion.
Anderson's KO was fucking sick.
Plus Shogun is coming off of [i]another[/i] surgery

This is the most worrying thing of all.
Given how sluggish he was in the Forrest fight, the threat of a similar performance is realistic. He can't afford that against a young buck like Bones.

it's not hard to be accurate with front kicks, jesus christ you are retarded
and no, front kicks don't put you at risk of being taken down.

Um, I've been doing MMA for quite some time, child.
Front kicks are not hard to land. However, they become more difficult to land as your target gets higher. It's easy to put a front kick in someone's gut, a little harder to hit the chest, and much more difficult to actually connect with their head. A standard front kick to the body leaves you on a fairly stable base, but going for the head leaves you wide ass open for takedowns.
I know I didn't exactly clarify that I was talking about front kicks to the head specifically, but any hoodlum with half a brain and a basic understanding of the concept of context would have understood that I was talking about front head kicks.
Also, I remember you being fat. I seriously doubt you know anything about kicking anyone in the head.
I fucking fell asleep watching this. Got to Jones vs Bader and then it was lights out. Can I watch the title fight anywhere?
Man fuck Jon Jones, I hope he gets hit by a car or something.
Everyone is praising him as the next best thing in MMA, but he actually hasn't fought anyone noteworthy other than Bader.
Let's look at the biggest names in his career thus far:
Brandon Vera - overrated chump
Matt Hamill - Solid wrestler, but will never be a contender.
Stephen Bonnar - The gatekeeper. The can of cans.
The rest of his career is a bunch of easy wins over no-namers from league jumping.
