I'm hoping they go the Mike Tyson/Evander Holyfield 2 route and paint Jones as a killer just let loose out of the cage and DC as the only guy that can stop him! lol

DC has to know he doesn't stand a chance, jones out wrestled him the last fight.... his only chance is to land a big strike but even then joneses chin has be tested more than a couple times and he's defiantly got one

I like how people call dc an elite wrestler. Yet 2 of his last 3 opponents have out wrestled him.
Jones won't come out and destroy dc. That's not how he rolls and he has nothing to prove. It will be business as usual.he beat him last time with very little trouble.
Just same again. Wrestle well,keep him at a distance and clinch him and grind him down.
since getting the title dc has offered nothing,that makes me think wow he could beat Jones. Instead he reminds me of how the light heavy division used to be. That's after chuck and before Jones.
At some point soon, I'd love for Jones to move up to heavyweight. I think he would really suit it up there.

I think he wouldn't have a problem holding the LHW and HW belts

Wasn't hendo like the only guy to hold 2 belts in 2 different classes at the same time? But I can't believe they're putting hendo In with vitor again that was a brutal ko last time, and vitor has been lookin really good while hendo is just becoming a head hunter lookin to land the right with little to no head movement or footwork

Couture n penn both had titles in two classes but I think hendo was the only one to hold both titles at the same time, I think it was in pride not UFC tho

I'm sure it was pride too. Are you even allowed to own 2 titles at the same time. That would be really difficult for the champion that's for sure. Back before ufc was as popular as it is now, maybe you could but fighters are fighting a lot more now.
With training camps ect, I don't think the ufc would allow it. Fighting in 2 divisions, they would love that.
Jones could do well moving up, I just feel that. Moving up would give him better match ups. Fair enough, there isn't many of them but the LHW is a little bare and he is head and shoulders above the rest. HW have taller, harder punches that could test him. Fighters like cain,jds ect would be better than what he has now. Outside of dc and rumble, there isn't anyone who has a chance.
And well if rumble fights like he did against dc, then that also would be an easy fight too.

Man, that was not fun to watch...I really hope hendo considers retirement as much as I love watching him fight getting kod isn't the way I would like to see him end his career when he went most of it never being kod...but vetor still looked good without the trt

Rumble will destroy Ryan bader in quick and easy fashion
Jones will take out dc
Jones will beat rumble, probably as easy as dc did.
I'm not convinced that weidman can topple Jones. Unlike most, I'm less than impressed with weidman. Sure he a champion but has faced less than impressive fighters. Sure he beat maybe one of the best fighter ever. In the first one,had he not of being so cocky he would of won, second fight he won due to injury.
Machida nearly beat him. If he wasn't such a slow starter he could of won that fight. Only went for it during the championship rounds. Last fight waspathetic to watch, sure that's not weidman fault but still not fun to watch.
He offers nothing that Jones can't counter. Jones has better striking,clinch,ground and wrestling. If lyoto can win T2T against Chris then I cant see why Jones won't. He can't use ground game against Jones. Jones has very effective clinch and elbows. He also has arguably the best grind the points wins among all of the champions.

What a fight, been saying for ages that ronda is a product of rubbish competition. Holly showed how many holes ronda has in the stand up game.
Although she did have a quality background I'm very surprised she won. I always thought that the only way to win was using her range and kicks. With the ronda charge I was unsure she could do so.
She outclassed her from the weigh ins.

Wow!
Round 1
Herb Dean is the referee for tonight’s 135-pound championship main event, with judges Mark Collette, Barry Foley and Charlie Keech scoring at cageside. Holm paces side to side in her corner during introductions; Rousey bounces in place, scowling at her challenger across the cage. The champ maintains her glare through final instructions and refuses a touch of gloves when Holm offers up her hands. Rousey closes the distance quickly, but Holm circles away. Holm angles off with a lovely left hand that turns Rousey’s head. A straight left from Holm connects as Rousey continues to chase her around the cage. Holm is slipping most of Rousey’s punches until about 90 seconds in, when “Rowdy” tags her with a right hand over the top. Rousey gets an underhook and rushes Holm against the fence, but Holm slips out and exits with a clean left hand. Rousey is bleeding from the nose as Holm continues to tag her with counters. Another left hand connects for Holm, but the dazed Rousey manages to clinch up and take her down with head-and-arm control. Rousey throws up an armbar, but Holm pulls the arm free and escapes to her feet, forcing Rousey to do the same. Holm stomps on Rousey’s lead leg with an oblique kick, then another. Rousey wants the clinch again, now trying uppercuts in the tie-up, but Holm slips out and circles away. Ninety seconds remain as Rousey walks right into a big left hand. Holm connects on another punch but loses her mouthguard and the action is paused to replace it. Holm wraps up Rousey and trips her to the ground with 45 seconds left, but she immediately allows the champ to stand. Rousey is chasing after Holm with wild punches, swinging and missing as Holm sprints away. The horn sounds and Rousey connects with a late left hand which draws a slight jeer from the crowd.
Sherdog Scores
Tristen Critchfield scores the round 10-9 Holm
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Holm
Jeff Sherwood scores the round 10-9 Holm
Round 2
Holm continues to tee off with left hands as Rousey tries desperately to close the distance. A side kick jacks Rousey’s jaw before Holm ducks completely under a punch which leaves the champ falling to the ground. Rousey jumps back up and walks into another hard, sraight left from Holm. The next left takes out Rousey’s legs, sends her stumbling to the canvas as she turns her back to the challenger. As she gets back to her feet, Holm uncorks a perfect left high kick. Rousey takes it on the jaw and crashes sideways to the canvas, and Holm makes sure she’s out cold with a few punches before referee Herb Dean can intervene. She’s done it. Holm has done it, and it looks as though even she can hardly believe it. Holly Holm is the new UFC women’s bantamweight champion.
