jones is the muhammed ali of mixed martial arts all the way now. his evolution is complete. not that he won't keep evolving, but he doesn't look like a kid anymore. he's a man. rashad is in his head no longer.
Wanted Rashad to win but I'm disappointed with his performance today. He should've been prepared for Jones's unorthodox moves
You would think he would have been. He said he wouldnt be mesmerized by Jones's flash. It went exactly how I thought it would go though. There was so much hype leading up that this was such a rivalry that I had a feeling they would both respect each other too much for either fighter to go for anything that could cost the fight. Even Jones seemed to throw less risky strikes. Jones really started to look comfortable I believe it was in the 2nd until he got hit with a overhand that made him way more cautious. Why didnt Rashad go for more takedowns? I thought he could have kept the fighter closer that way. Putting Jones on his back would take away that range and make him at least a little less dangerous
