I’m tempted to PPV this one on my brand new Samsung 65 inch mega box. I thought the Swede beat Jones in the first fight, but the judges didn’t, obviously. Should be a good one tonight.

Hard to take this seriously after this week’s circus. It should be the WWUFC. Anyway, I’ll go with Gus (picking with my heart not head), Cyborg, Arlofshi, Conduit, Mendez and Meg Anderson

Scoring the fight as a whole (which is how it SHOULD be judged) I gave it to Jones cause Gus was completely spent in the final round. But going round by round (which is how it IS judged) I did give Gus 3 rounds.

Jones is amped up on steroids for every title fight...

So, spare me the UFC “analysts” and Rogan telling he is the best to ever step in the octagon...

Jones the cheater...his Q&A was so aloof and accepting of his third time testing dirty...I’m positive he will have another positive testing post fight.

Poor Cat, she took a toenail to the eye. Winklejohn lost an eye that way.

That’s why you’ve got to check those kicks. A toe in the eye will really mess up your day.

I’ll take Gustavson, because there’s no way I’m picking John “Roids” Jones. F*** that guy.

Cyborg, Condit (hoping for him), and Harris.

Cheater though he may be, Jones sure has a high fight IQ.

He was relaxed and stuck to his game plan: kicks to keep distance from Gus and contain his boxing strikes. Jones wore him down and pounced. I was going for Gus.

Bj Penn used to be a beast, he was taken down fast today.

Rogan needs to go. He's a clown.

Penn must need money to keep going in there. Looking at his record is just sad now, 6 losses in a now (and 7 non-wins in a row). Hasn’t won in 8 years.

He looked decent, until he got flash heel hooked.

didn't realize he was on that bad of a slide - 8 years winless out of a 17 year old career.

I guess it's all he knows how to do.
