Rafael Cordeiro was right, shogun has a bunch of yes men around him who don't push him to his limits. Since he doesn't want to leave Brazil to train in better places , he should just retire. Even Machida will destroy him the way he's been performing (not taking nothing from Machida ).

Trash? Fight of the year against another legend, and that is a horrible performance? Maybe you should retire

Because Sonnen made a mistake that Silva capitalized on, just as Lyoto did when Jones was able to turn the tide of a fight that he was losing.

Sucks that I am always getting the message saying that I have given too much rep in the last 24 hours.

Honestly Jones is NOT a great fighter, he's very physically gifted that's for sure. Once he goes to hw, even someone like Travis Browne would give him problems (I know they both train together), truth is his reach pardons his mistakes and holes in his stand up.

Watch the fight again. The second round, jones was landing more, he caught him flush with a punch that allowed him to get the takedown, which enabled him to land the elbow, which enabled him to rock him again with a punch on the feet, which enabled him to choke him out.

Also, the first round was not that one sided, but clearly in Machida's favor.

He won the NYS wrestling championship and the national JUCO championship but i guess he isnt a great wrestler either.

You are obviously a keyboard warrior who's probably never trained in their life. I hate fanboys bitches who refuse to recognize their favorite fighter's errors. So do me a favor and "retire" from replying to me.

Lyoto looked nothing but amazing by completely controlling a rank #6 Bader while Rua struggled with a #12-15 rank Vera.

you are right here, but for all the wrong reasons.

it wasnt luck, it was simply the better fighter won, and won in dominate fashion. the challenger...well he did really good and he might have even won the round and no one else has done that.................. get over it.

bader is ranked too high. who has beat again?

lyoto didnt get caught against jones, he straight up got beat. so what it took jones a rd to figure him out. he got beat, not lost cuz the other guy got lucky (which is what getting caught means, you messed up and the other guy got lucky)

same with silva sonnen. i understand that you will never accept this fact but sonnen slipped and fell going for broke because a) he was losing and couldnt take silva down and b) had gotten tagged right before silva led him backwards.
