    I left out the legend and the only decent guy he beat, aye.

    You got my point, no need to be pedantic.

    I assume wee * bubble Valhalla is still pretending he’s blocking people when he’s been owned too many times :56::56::56:

    Big Thiago Santos is a belter. Deserves a Jones fight before Jones goes to Heavyweight.

    This is the thing where I (and I think most in the MMA forum here) will disagree on. The entire steroid situation involving Jones wasn’t just an asterix beside his name for me - it taints a huuuge portion of his legacy.

    Hopefully Kiefer Crosbie does not carry the Irish flag into his next fight.

    That's the point I've made that you've missed. I'm saying that his use of PEDs has tarnished anything he has accomplished and will always taint any achievement

    It was aimed at the general idea on the MMA forum here that Jones is the GOAT, rather than any specific individual.

    Not good for him seeing as I don’t think that was Dana’s wife next to him at that table.:fear:

    He’s a * moron. How does he think that’s a good idea. I’d cut him if I was Dana, nobody is gonna miss him.

    You know it’s a great card when Zabit vs Stephens is on the preliminary :eek: ... hoping for a Zabit win but Stephens is a step up from what he’s faced so far imo.

    Think Garbrant and Jones will win but no sure about Lawler vs Askren, Woodley vs Usman or Torres vs Zhang.

    I don't see how Usman beats Woodley, he is worse everywhere, and I don't see Usman grinding him down.

    Madness. Some older fighters should take note.

    Good to see him retire now, I hope Fedor packs it in for good as well two legends who just don't know when to quit.

    He beat the guy that’s supposed to become heavyweight boxing champion of the world not once but twice.

    Guy was an animal in his prime.
