If BONES JONES Will return it will be to face a man like REYES who is now in the spotlight and good for making money
I dont think he will want to return and make a defense versus someone who he has already beat but instead he will welcome new challengers

[Sahyadri]

Dana should organize a rematch between Thiago Silva versus Jon Jones and include Dominic Reyes versus Jonny Walker as the undercard. The winners of both can fight on the next event hehehe. Which will be Jonny Bones versus Jonny Walker.

I do not want to see Dominic Reyes and Johnny Walker fight each other now as i want the UFC to prepare them to fight Jon Jones as there are not many worthy contenders to face Jones and the betting line will always be shitty for him, i want the undefeated Dominic Reyes and Johnny Walker to face when they are hot so that we will get a better betting line  and there is no doubt Thiago Silva should get his rematch with Jones as he stood with Jones till the end even after suffering major injuries during the fight.

I think johny walker should fight anthony smith or thiago silva and dominick reyes should fight Jon jones.I think Jon would easily win and in the mean time Johny walker can show if he can fight the best at light heavyweight. Corey anderson is a tough fight too considering he dislocated his shoulder last fight and has not recovered properly.

[djsugar]

Yes, he is worthy I definitely think a match between them will happen soon. Jones loves to beat people who are on  a win streak

All the fighters have big plans and have the confidence to beat any fighter and so does Dominick Reyes and Jon Jones will find a way to win the fight as he is extremely talented and crafty and only the life style of Jones could defeat him inside the octagon and even after fighting him they will think that if they could rectify certain things they could defeat Jones the next time around and if there is a rematch Jones will finish them off clean  .

I wasn't expecting Yair and Jeremy's fight to go to the judges scorecard.

It was one hell of a fight and it could have been five rounds as both fighters gave their all and Yair Rodríguez came out victorious and there were some unorthodox moves from Yair as usual.

I am waiting to see another fight of Zabit Magomedsharipov and he is my favorite fighter as he is the complete fighter, great on the feet and equally good in the ground game too.

I think Zabit should fight Yair Rodriguez after his fight with Cavin Kattar as both of them match up really well and it would be a great fight to watch. As far as the fight with Stephens is concerned I think Yair would have had problems if it was a five round fight.A great fight nevertheless.

There was a fight scheduled for Zabit Magomedsharipov and Yair Rodriguez last year but Yair Rodriguez pulled out of the fight and never showed any interest in fighting Zabit and we all know the reason as Zabit is a really tough fight for anyone in the division.

Dominick Reyes is ranked number 4 in the division and the rest of the fighters above him already faced Jones and was defeated and the fresh face is Reyes and it will be an interesting fight as Dominick Reyes is undefeated and has the power to knockout anyone.

I think johny walker should fight anthony smith or thiago silva and dominick reyes should fight Jon jones.I think Jon would easily win and in the mean time Johny walker can show if he can fight the best at light heavyweight. Corey anderson is a tough fight too considering he dislocated his shoulder last fight and has not recovered properly.

Aleksandar Rakic is another upcoming talent along with Johnny Walker and he needs a couple of fights to challenge Jon Jones as both these fighters are ranked 10. Corey Anderson is a really tough fighter because he is a really high level wrestler and i am sure he will take down Johnny Walker down and how he reacts depends upon how he handles that.

Dominick Reyes is so eager to fight Bones Jones,  I guess the first round knockout win against  Chris Weidman gave him a huge boost in challenging Jones,  Perhaps Jones might not fight Reyes as of now,  because he still thinks Reyes needs to win more fights before getting to face him

[tokeweed]

Here is post fight interviews  video.
There was some controversy with Greg Hardy using inhaler and no contest!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z09j7kIPrWg

Yeah...  The asthma inhaler.  Lmao.

And Rodriguez looks like he improved a lot since his last fight.  But if the match was a 5 rounder, I think Stephens would've had a bit of a chance to come back.

it's one of those things.

And Rodriguez looks like he improved a lot since his last fight.  But if the match was a 5 rounder, I think Stephens would've had a bit of a chance to come back.

I thought Stephens was gonna fold from the kicks to the body but good job for him and his conditioning. If there were two more rounds, there is a possibility that he may steal the match since Rodriguez looks exhausted in the 3rd round as well.

Good thing the fight didn't end in another eye poke.

[eaLiTy]

If not Dominick Reyes who will be the rightful challenger for Jon Jones in the division, either he has to move up to heavyweight division or another rematch with Thiago Santos, if he moves to the heavyweight division then there are many fancy match ups and with Anthony Johnson making a come back i hope we will see a match up with him too but with the huge size Anthony Johnson is in he will be fighting in the heavyweight division.

[Saint-loup]

^  Lolol.  The UFC should make a custom belt for them just like how they made a custom belt for Masvidal and Diaz.  

Now the time is here to make the belt as Chris Weidman is also knocked out cold in the first round while Luke Rockhold was somehow able to survive the first round as he was knocked out in the second round , lets name it the Ex Middleweight CC belt where CC stands for champions who are not able to cut weight and there is no division they can go to  .

I only watched the final bout, Chris Weidman started strong trying to take Dominick Reyes down and on another attempt he just cracked a perfectly timed left hook in the chin and instantly the legs of Weidman gave out and two more hammer fist to finish it up and Dominick Reyes called out Jon Jones, looks like there are some worthy contenders now in the light heavyweight to challenge Jones.

And to think Weidman was talking about shocking the world again if given a shot vs Jon Jones before the fight...  Lol.  Nope, he's done.

Edit:  Results.

WOW thank you for the results, I wasn't aware Chris Weidman was put KO in 103 seconds. That's a little bit humiliating for him, I hope he will be able to overcome this at the psychological level...   I will watch the fight to see this fast KO.

I reckon that Jonny Walker is in need of 1 more fight after fighting Corey Anderson on November 2 before given a fight versus the champion. He is ranked only 10th, Corey Anderson is only 7th.

There is no other fighter to face Jon Jones other than a rematch with Thiago Santos and when the media asked to Dana White about Dominick Reyes facing Jon Jones he never gave a concrete answer and that means he will be waiting to see the results of Walker and Corey Anderson and then have the leverage to negotiate with Walker or Corey and Reyes and who gives the best rate will be facing Jones  . Jon Jones had a busy year and not sure when he is planning to return, if he cleans out the division then he can move to heavyweight where he has some good challenges.

Of course doesn't make sense for him to make a comeback fight to a fighter he already defeated, he already clean up the division.

However, Reyes is slowly rising in the ranks and this could pose a challenge for Jones to return in the right and prove that he is still the man to beat in the LHW division.

[tokeweed]

I think some people itt are forgetting how good Jon Jones really is just cos he had an off day or prolly used the wrong strategy vs Thiago Silva.  Just saying...

Even if Jon Jones have a bad day he will find a way to win, Jones never took Thiago Silva down and may be because of his ego to fight a striker without taking him down and that shows his confidence but the judges gave the fight a split decision and the injuries Thiago Silva sustained during the fight makes them close.

Anyway Askren vs Maia this weekend...  Grapplers heaven.  

This fight shows whether Askren is able to compete with the elite fighters in the UFC and if he fails this time he might be thinking about retiring.

[TopTort777]

My Lord, Maia vs Askren interesting and both boring to see match 
I’m gonna cheer for litecoin man in this fight

[SaShiRaJaVu]

This fight shows whether Askren is able to compete with the elite fighters in the UFC and if he fails this time he might be thinking about retiring.

It will be a big test for Askren as he is coming back after his first loss in his career and that too was a brutal one and many of the fighters will be cautious when returning back but luckily for Ben he is not fighting a striker and this fight will show the ground capabilities of both fighters and it is not that easy to defeat Demian Maia. I have not seen Ben fighting any elite fighters, this is a good test for his career.

Jiujitsu practitioners will disagree hehe. Who is the litecoin man?

Also, Conor will hold a press conference in Moscow! It might only be for Proper 12, however, I hope he addresses his return to MMA and talk about Khabib heheheheee.


Conor McGregor will be in Moscow, Russia for a press conference this week. The Irishman recently posted on social media that he obtained a Russian visa for this very reason.

Jiujitsu practitioners will disagree hehe. Who is the litecoin man?

It will be a high level grappling contest and i am waiting for this match, Ben Askren is a high level wrestler and Demian Maia is a high level 4th degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and ADCC World Championship, only age is the disadvantage for Demian Maia it will be a really good contest for true fans.
Ben Askren is the litecoin guy as he is pro crypto for a very long time and an investor in the market and he usually discuss about it in his podcast.

Also, Conor will hold a press conference in Moscow! It might only be for Proper 12, however, I hope he addresses his return to MMA and talk about Khabib heheheheee.

Of all the countries in the world he wants to hold a press conference in Moscow and this is to make another media attention and to lure the media for a rematch against Khabib.

The guy knows how to stir things up. Dana is loving this for sure.

Many MMA purist will still love this even if there's no knockout. It's always nice to see people battle for position on the ground looking to submit their opponent. For me, that's better than the usual ground and pound.

[tokeweed]

^  It's actually gonna be something like a game of chess that I think everybody will find interesting...  Not just the hardcore fans.
