Even though Jon Jones won the fight by being better in this fight, we can forgive illegal knee, as Lionheart did too, that is why he is my favorite fighter.Not only cos of that, but because he truly likes to fight, he is smart and learns all the time, has guts and can take a beating. He gets f.. up in his fight and takes punishment, but his composure and cool is omnipresent.
For me he is the winner cause of one simple reason.He saw what happens when he is not open and ready to go in, be aggressive, expose himself and play the game and he also saw that he can stand toe to toe with one of the best despite not giving all that he can give.
Usman fight - no need for comment, Woodley was not in the building, he was drinking pina colada with werewolves of London it seems
Fight that I also liked was Jeremy Stephens (146) vs Zabit Magomedsharipov (146) - very fun to watch, even with no K.O. , Stephens did all he could to at least make it look like it was tight, but Zabit is becoming one of the fighter I look forward to watch and see what he can pull off.
There are small doubts on Zabit Magomedsharipov by some people in the know within the MMA community it seems. For me it was a rather solid performance, but some people detected some flaws. I think it was a bad matchup for him, but some people doubt he belongs on a main card and need more fights.
I can see Jon Jones retiring undefeated, no one is going to be able to crack the code. He's just that good. He's like Floyd in boxing, you can always bet on a win and don't go wrong (except when the dude decides to test positive and ruin people's bets of course)
I would like to see him fight Johnny Walker once he's more experienced. That guy's hilarious and moves like a lightweight.
