Spike TV Countdown to UFC 135: Jon Jones vs Rampage Jackson Discussion Post
This post is going up last minute but right now on Spike TV, the countdown show for UFC 135 starts right now. This event will be the UFC's return to Denver, Colorado and the first title defense for champion Jon Jones. Rampage Jackson will be coming in as a major underdog but word from his camp, he's in the best shape that he's ever been in while in the UFC. Jon Jones is coming off his dominating win over Mauricio Shogun Rua to win the belt. Following that win, he was the focus of some controversy as it was expect that he would be defending his belt against former teammate Rashad Evans. Jones was expected to receive surgery on his thumb but after a second opinion, it was deemed that the surgery was not needed. The Evans fight fell apart and Rampage Jackson got the call.
Also on the card is Matt Hughes, who was first booked to face Diego Sanchez after being knocked out by B.J. Penn. An injury to Sanchez forced the UFC to add Josh Koscheck to the show as a last minute replacement. Join Bloody Elbow for a discussion of the Countdown to UFC 135: Jones vs Jackson airing right now on Spike TV.

I just see no way
Outside of a well timed, lucky KO, that Rampage wins. Jones wrecked Rua. He’d wreck a 110% Rua.

Jon Jones talking about how he touched his belt like it was a woman was creepy. Again, Jones and his belt!

spoke with him for about 20 minutes. I live down here where he operates out of in Florida. He’s just a con-man. A straight con-man. I felt like I needed to take a shower when I was done talking to the dude.

I think because of Jones’ unorthodox…ness and age, it is in Evans’ best interest to have the amount of time between being teammates and fighting to be as small as possible.
And Jones knows this
No coincidence he’s willing to fight anyone else ASAP.

Kos has a few gyms

No shit? Still fighting has to be his number one source of income at the moment. In which case, if his career isn’t long he’s not going to be in a position to maintain his current lifestyle. If he’s not smart enough to abandon it, things could go poorly.
:p - orcus
Most of the time I am a rather quiet fellow, who likes to read about Philosophy, Mathematics and History, but like most people I also have a deep appreciation of sex and violence... - John Danaher

But I wouldn’t be surprised if his gyms do extremely well going into the future.

Are they affiliated with AKA directly?
Because that would probably help. As his star power won’t last much longer after his career. MMA and most sports fans have very short memories.

Most of the time I am a rather quiet fellow, who likes to read about Philosophy, Mathematics and History, but like most people I also have a deep appreciation of sex and violence... - John Danaher

Even if they’re not, a good MMA gym is a pretty good investment right now IMO.

Maybe he’s gonna make the Ferrari last a while?
When you think about it, it makes way to much sense for Kos to drive a Ferrari.
He’s exactly the type of loud arrogant(yet insecure) asshole who would want everyone to know how rich and cool he is.

I honestly didn’t find the need for the two to fight. Both have been able to contend for the Title without fighting each other. Welterweight is also just such a deep division that there are interesting matchups for both Fitch and Koscheck yet not fight each other.

It was worse
when Swick was in the picture, imo. At that point you had 3 rising stars who refused to fight each other.
