UFC 100 - Mir, Lesnar, GSP, Henderson, Bisping, Akiyama - Jul-11-2009 7pm PT/10pm ET

[Matt Phillips]

nope, Jones is a juco champ. Jake was a D1 wrestler and 3 time Indiana state champ. A 3 time state champ in ANY midwestern state is some serious wrestling credibility.

Yes, but Jones has teh SanDa!

Fun fact: Now that he can't wear his gi, Akiyama is sponsored by Oil of Olay again.

I can't believe there letting that cheating bastard fight in the UFC.

YouTube - Very Slippery! "Greasy Akiyama" affair (Akiyama vs Sakuraba)

He's the Mohamad Atta of the Japanese 9/11!

I hope that GSP hangs himself by his Kyokushin black belt and shits all over himself, recognizing that he is a cheater who has brought great shame to the martial arts and to Kyokushinkaikan.

I'm a big BJ fan but that whole escapade was a joke. GSP wasn't cheating and it wouldn't have made a damn bit of difference if he had.

Yes, but Jones has teh SanDa!

When did jones get SanDa training?

Are you confusing him for Anthony Johnson?

Do you have trouble telling apart thin black wrestlers?

On account of it being a big anniversary for the UFC, the whole shebang (every single undercard, even if they suck) should be televised, free of cost, for us loyal fans.

Jon Jones has a reach longer than timmay......

Long live the Manhunter.

Quick question:

When Lesnar initially won the title I remember seeing a good amount of people posting that he was undeserving/not good enough/etc. (which has some merit when looking at how many fights he actually has).

However, in this thread nearly 100% of people pick Lesnar over Mir (many saying that they want Mir to win but "realistically" it will be Lesnar).

What changed? Was it just initial outcry that he jumped ahead many other good fighters for the title match?

Well he was technically undeserving becausing because most people have to work their way up to a title shot. On the other hand his size and strength advantage is so significant that it requires the absoloute elite of the division to pose a threat to him.

He is still 100% undeserving of a title shot.
That doesn't mean he has no shot at winning.
