i expect no less than five articles today about whether Vera can return to old form and Jones’ explosiveness

by Austin Martin on Mar 20, 2010 11:14 AM EDT reply actions  

Yeah, I wish they’d focus on Jones’ athleticism instead. Although he is pretty explosive. Explosive and athletic. Explosively athletic you might say.

by ricker2005 on Mar 20, 2010 12:14 PM EDT up reply actions  

Just like Rashad Evans, Phil Davis, Melvin Guillard…

by TLow on Mar 20, 2010 12:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

And none of the above are as explosive and athletic as GSP…so…whats your point?

GSP can’t be explosive and athletic by definition. I wish he could but I don’t make the rules on the subject, Mike Goldberg does.

by ricker2005 on Mar 20, 2010 1:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

But

Would you say Vera’s precision is precise? I’d say precisely that

by Patrick John McGreevy on Mar 20, 2010 1:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

you’d precisely be defining the precisity of the precision of vera’s precisive presice striking

by Austin Martin on Mar 20, 2010 1:27 PM EDT up reply actions  

But Jones is just such a dynamic and explosive striker. Would dynamic and explosive be the word you’d use to describe Jones?

Bet on UFC 101. He picked Griffin, I had Silva. Loser had to rock the avatar of their favorite team’s mortal enemy until 102. Subo is a die hard Broncos fan so he got the Chiefs.

This unhinged his fragile psyche, said somethingstupid about Kid Nate’s wife, got banned, came back under a different name and threw a whole bag of sour grapes around until he got re-banned.

Now working for Fightlinker, a fate worse than death.

240 at the TUF finale. So 24 pounds in 15 weeks.

He did seem confused when they read it but since it was right for everyone else I figured it must be right.

His name is arthur jones

He played DT for Syracuse and is considered a draft prospect, the middle brother is chandler, he also plays for Syracuse.

now I’ll lose all my hater cred. I hope Irvin wins. He always has exciting fights and he stepped up to fight Anderson Silva when a lot of others at LHW would not. So I hope good things happen to him.

Kongo looks smaller now than he has before. Definitely not as inflated. Maybe he’s cut out the physique training and has been secretly working on his ground game…
