Jones is correct

that he is in Shogun’s head. But I don’t think that will matter because Shogun is to disciplined to be sidetracked by that. The real issue is after a third knee surgery is if we will see the Shogun who beat Liddlle and Machida, or if we will see the Shogun who lost to Griffin and was barely beating Coleman before a late pathetic KO.

I think Jones got inside Jones’ head.

Alonso is talking about the media

not Jones, he feels upset because the media is not giving Shogun any props.

The Ref is the X-Factor

There may be a possibility of early stoppage by Herb following GNP by Jones .
He probably wants a Brother to be the new champion.

'dem Panthers !

Well, anybody who knows me knows I'm no fan of dictionaries or reference books. They're elitist. Constantly telling us what is or isn't true. Or what did or didn't happen.

That rant at the end

Really is exactly how I feel about the entire situation. What does Shogun have to do to earn the respect he deserves? Hopefully repeatedly kneeing Bones in the face with finally earn it

True, Damian seems like a genuinely nice guy.

God I’m tired of Jones’ antics. Hope Karma catches up to him…
