love watching these two talk

Machida did win the first round, but Jon adjusted very quickly and was clocking him good before the choke.

I love the banter between roy and dana

Agreed. Machida was even easily winning for the first half of the 2nd round as well. Jones happen to catch Machida during an exchange which led to Jones jumping on him and getting the submission. I would love to see this rematch.

I still think Machida is the only one who can beat Bones. Because of his unusual striking and great karate distance and counters.

Yep exactly! I think Machida and Glover are the only people that could actually give Jones a fight at lhw! Its a different story at heavyweight tho!

But im nearly positive that on the score cards 2 of the 3 judges scored that first round to jones.

than what happen after that I remember Machida dropping to the ground unconscious

That must have happened awhile ago. Not finishing Phil Davis was embarrassing.

Some people call it running a way other people call it counter striking that is why Machida is so elusive. Hendo is one of my favorite fighters but he was too slow for Machida and Machida was going in and out! As Dana said its not Machida's fault that Henderson could not get him to fight him! A fighter like Henderson wants to come up close and brawl while Machida wins by keeping a distance! Its the same as GSP's takedowns and control on the ground and Wladimir Klitchkos jab!

11:17...and we all know Dana, you are never hateful and hurtful

time flies

So beating Hendo and Bader means you earned a rematch? I would much rather see the Gusto fight, and next a Jones vs Tex fight, rather than a rematch of someone who was put to sleep in the 2nd round. Machida will get his rematch, but once you lose you have to climb back up the ladder. There are guys who have been working just as hard and deserve there title shot.

I commend Dana for being able to distinguish opinion from epithet, regarding Josh Thompson's comments. One end of the political spectrum are unable to do the same.

Machida should get a rematch, but, I don't feel he should be able to jump guys to have been working their way up the ladder. He had a shot and he lost, I think Gust and Tex deserve their shot, and if neither of them can get it done, then Machida again. And yes sometimes the matte in which you lose does determine rematches, remember when Machida beat Shogun the first time, Shogun gat a immediate rematch because the first fight was so competitive. And Cain was the champ, so of course he gets one.

What Thompson is trying to say, from what I can gather anyways, is that once you allow people to do what they want for happiness as long as no third parties are harmed; which is essentially the argument FOR homosexuality and gay marriage as a whole; where do you draw the line? From this contractarian approach (the two person agreement concept as I mentioned previously) when do things such as paedophilia become allowed (since it is a two person contractarian agreement.)

Brian tested positive and we know about it already but its takes forever to find the 'extra' prefight test results for Belfort... coincidence or calculated?

Your AV got me... Machida was out striking Jones in the first round though. Got smashed in the second.

Our profile pictures are awesome

not by much, and the shot he landed on jones only looked bad bc jones was throwing a leg kick at the time and was off balance.

hes the best reporter at the moment!

The guy is damn near an Olympic level wrestler. He is 11-1 in the UFC. Is the only person to beat Gustafsson. I would rather see Machida fight Teix, but Phil Davis is the last ranked fighter who is not scheduled to fight. Davis is not as sorry as you are making him out to be, if he can get to Machida he can put him on the ground. I doubt he will win, but I also don't think he will be completely dominated.

Davis is simply not as well rounded enough to deal with someone like Machida. Machida will run circles around him, frustrate him and maybe even put him away.

Dan Henderson in a recent interview when asked about his last fight with Machida said "Machida did a good job of running away"...So I guess Hendo has a limited understanding of Martial arts too then huh ??!

Lyoto is the only man to out point Jones in a round. Jones caught him in that second round and put him to sleep. But Machida is still by far one of the best strikers so everyone wants to see how he would do in rematch, which is well deserved with wins over Bader and Henderson. I'm happy Jones is fight Gustaf though, he doesn't need rematches right now unless Machida wins big again then he deserves another shot.

Dana White: the best in delivering MMA fights, the best in giving baby gifts...

Then why is GSP and Benson Henderson still in the UFC ?

Im pretty sure the judges gave the first round to jones? he out struck machida, just got clipped once but i saw the scorecard and he won the round i think.

Your right, Machida did earn a title shot, and he lost. Now you have to work your way back up. And Dana White just promotes anyone- Sonnen, Belfort, now those are 2 guys who did not deserve a shot at 205. I really wanted to see Machida beat another big name guy before he got a rematch, and he has a chance to that in his next fight. If he dominates Phil Davis, he will probably jump Tex and become the #1 contender.

yeah but all I am saying is that he won a round against Jones, who has done that besides him whilst Jones has been on this tear of a championship run

I remember Machida laying on the floor unconscious

29-28 Davis(first two rounds for Davis, 3rd for Machida) Neither one did enough to complain about losing though. The takedowns in the first two rounds are why I gave the rounds to Davis, because neither did much standing & Machida never even got close to getting up in the couple minutes he was down.

It's called intelligently fighting, if Hendo's footwork is terrible it's on him to train to combat another fighter's movement. If you knew someone had crazy punching power, would you simply stand in front and BANG? No...

Well, Machida was a champ too. And guys is he supposedly jumping over? Glover Texeira? Gustafsson? Please. Machida has more than earned it. He came back and put a string of victories and finishes, not to mention the fact that Dana White himself had Promised Machida the rematch. Look, i am not a Machida Fan per se, but i think he is just as deserving of the shot as anyone else.

what do you mean by creator of new words? and how is his religious affiliation relevant?

Of course jones doesn't want to fight Machida. He's back on track. On wins. And looking great. Jones pussied out. But still Alex will be a great fight for him. For sure

They call Machida boring, out of his last three wins the guy had 2 brutal knockouts. Henderson is an asshole everyone he loses to, he claims ran from him. Anderson choked him the fuck out and he always refers to him as someone who is a runner.

You are right.

Machida did get choked but he did not get anhialated he won the first round and was getting the better of the exchanges!

What beef does dana have with Alexander

The thing Dana said about Josh Thompson was really funny hahahaha!

Jones dropped Machida with a punch before choking him out.

Choked unconscious within 10 minutes = annihilated. I still think Machida could put up a better fight though.

Not true at all. Go watch it now. Lyoto definitely won, and how do you know that the judges gave the first to Jones if the decision was never read and Jones finished him?

A rematch of someone who was put to sleep in the second round? True, but that someone is the only someone who has managed to even win a round against Jon Jones in the UFC. I didn't know rematches were given according to how the challenger lost the first encounter. By that logic, Cain Velasquez never should have gotten a rematch against JDS. After all, Cain got knocked the fuck out in 64 seconds.

he got hit, i acknowledged that. To say he was hurt is an overstatement. I agree that the champ should face all comers. ALL FIGHTERS should fight anyone anywhere. But Jones is a primadonna. What do you expect?? Not to mention he has Greg Jackson in his ear trying to protect his champ from a possibility of losing his belt.

I remember all that too, but he did win the first round

what kind of basket did Dana send Fitch? was it something big, like a car or something?

Who won??

I don't know why Dana hates on Roy so much. I've hardly hear Roy say anything negative about Dana, and he seems like a super cool, nice guy. I think Dana just hates anyone who will actually say what they think to, and about, the UFC.

is Jon jones a badass for choking machida out, or is machida a badass for not tapping(unlike half of his opponents)

Machida landed 1 good punch in the 1st that's it.

dana doesn't have beef with him although I can see how you thought that he wasn't very clear the way he said it .... Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafusson have beef ...

A rematch is a fucking rematch. The only thing that matters is that Machida earned a second crack at the champion. Jones should have given Machida a shot. But then again, if you're Machida, that's what you fucking get for not taking the fight when the opportunity came knocking on his door. Remember the whole Jones/Sonnen short notice Debacle? Yeah, Machida accepted the jones fight then called back and turned it down and now Jones is just sticking his finger back in MAchida's eye.

London Keyes, Mia Lelani, Jessica Bangkok and Mika Tan. A prize to anyone who can guess who these women are.

he pulled out the uncle tom reference? Roy should probably do some research before throwing that around.

Dana rocking that sunburn

Agreed!

Ariel is a lyrical ninja.

Jones fucking submitted machida in the second round made him go night night & you guys still say Lyoto fucked him up ... Bones wasnt the one asleep !

Ariel Helwani was being less than truthful. Roy Nelson said that his black friends made that comment.

jon jones annihilated Machida? is he sure? ...I think he's worried about a rematch

If you've got a problem with Ariel, why don't you get yourself a mic and go find Dana and ask him some questions yourself tough guy?

Landing 1 decent punch with no damage doesn't win rounds fool. What Machida did in the fight is shit compared to what Jones did in the fight. No Machida doesn't deserve a rematch, he got bloodied up, knocked down and almost killed if the ref didn't stop in time.

someone should fine dana white for disrespecting roy nelson like how diaz gets fined for the same crime.

i dont understand why dana white doesnt like roy nelson he seems like a nice guy to me

How the fuck did jones Annihilate machida!!! What I remember jones getting out struck by machida

Phil Davis is a big name guy? Machida will toy with Phil Davis. I'd be shocked if Davis even finds Machida inside the octagon.

it's his job. He's a journalist, pick up a newspaper once and a while; journalists in your city are most certainly criticizing the way things are run there, the sports teams there, the house markets there, where the public funds should be spent, etc, etc, etc. It is literally the way they put food on their tables. Quit crying.

Annihilate means to destroy completely. Lol. It doesn't imply anything else but that. To defeat someone in brutal fashion so they can no longer continue. Another example is Hendo vs Bisping. The fight was fairly equal until Hendo annihilated him with his H-bomb. He annihilated him the same way Jones annihilated Machida. Anderson Silva was getting annihilated until he annihilated Sonnen. Hahaha.

I wonder what all those guys meant by hostile work environment?

Wow Jones really avoiding Machida! Thats saying something. WAR Dragon, just because Jones is scared Im normally a Jones fan.

lol, I suppose unconscious people are usually unconcerned as well.

Guys stop that internet war ,being realistic ,Machida was the best challenge for Jones and he deserves the respect,he did really good the 1st round ,not just 1 punch the timing and his weird style was very confusing for Jon,on the other hand in the 2nd round Jones beat the shit out of machida,whoever fight jones even anderson Silva is in trouble ............but you guys make it sound like you can beat machida and all the idiots liking your comment,you guys just wear tap out shirts c'mon son.....

Ariel try's to start way to much drama in MMA. Come on Ariel pick up your game.

i don't think Lyoto Machida is one of the best strikers in the game.I mean hes a good striker but one of the best i don't know. great footwork,very unorthodox stance,great fighter but not one of the best strikers i wouldn't say.Jon Bones Jones on the other hand WOW i cant believe there are people still trying to justify a Machida title shot.jesus he lost his chance KO'd an overrated Bader and had a boring ass snoozefest with Dan Henderson.gimme a break. two more solid W's and i can see it

Please go back on watch Jones on the stool after the 1st round. He got rocked in the 1st and came back; that's what makes a champion. He doesn't have to be invincible to garner respect. The champion shouldn't have any say on who he faces. You're the champ you face all comers; this applies whether you think Gustafson or Machida is deserving. GSP, Silva, and now Jones having a say is B.S.!

Dana is right about Josh Thompson.

Dana is being sooo two sided with the Josh Thompson deal, I don't get it, I understand Josh was more discreet than Mitrione or Diaz, but what he is saying is more hateful to a group of people than what Mate said, he called one person a faggot because of that guys actions, not his race, sexual orientation, or any like than, he used the word faggot, but not in the context to attack the gay community, this is bullshit, shouldn't Mitrione or Diaz be "entitled to their opinion." What a joke man

Jones never distroyd machida he beat em in great fashion but machida fucked em up that first round

What how da fuq our per capita is higher then U.S also our dept is way lower plus our unemployment is lower.

Out struck Jones ??? You must've been high when you saw the fight. Jones landed 24 strikes and Machida landed 13. "How the fuck did jones Annihilate machida" Hmmm lets see! Jones split Machida's head open, Jones knocked Machida down, and Jones choked Machida half to death. Yeah Jones annihilated Machida, pay attention next time son.

I'm pretty sure Jones crushed him. And he would most likely do it again. I'm more interested in watching Gustaffson get killed by Bones, at least we haven't seen that yet LMAO

Not anymore.

It is funny how Sonnen can say anything he wants and Dana laughs but as soon as someone calls a guy who gets his penis cut off so he can fight girls a freak he gets a fine. Hmm little weird don't you think? And Roy Nelson is not dumb by a long shot.Dana just thinks that anyone that disagrees with him is stupid.Dana don't forget, UFC fans were already here before you made this company you just happen across it.If not you then someone else would have. Ego check Dana. Watch your mouth

should siblings be allowed to marry siblings? My point is, where do you draw the line? I personally don't care who you marry but I also am smart enough to know that it opens a gateway to men/women trying to marry young kids, siblings marrying eachother and people having multiple husbands an wives. You have to think all of these things are okay otherwise your stopping them from being happy as well which is hypocrisy. Equality doesn't stop with gay marriage, it just starts with it.

Money can't buy your fighters' respect, Dana...

Why is Josh Thompson' question asinine or stupid? The response of someone who doesn't have a good one.

theres nothing more id like to see than roy nelson knocking dana white out with his classic overhand right after beating him to a pulp and smothering him with his belly for 5 rounds slowly torturing him. id pay full PPV price just for that alone.

damn Dana I like you but you don't need to brag about getting Fitch the best baby basket out of everyone. oh I guarantee nobody gave him anything better than me that sounds so cocky and selfish. cmon Dana your better than that bro.

Yeah, Lyoto won the first round so Jones is definitely scared...

MMA isn't the NBA. Get the fuck over it! The UFC pays well. Let all the average fighters feel upset about their life. They get paid well!!

Better than that, really? Have you paid attention to Dana for the past decade?

"Everything that comes out of Roy's mouth is pure stupidness." - Dana F. White, UFC president, atheist, Ferrari owner, creator of new words

What does that mean? I don't get it; sorry!

Dana really wants BC out.... Dana vs Big (Tito Ortiz) Country 2

But Nate had an opinion and he lost £20,000

If one is worried about Hurting peoples feeling,then, how can one have an opinion? Dana is an idiot, what Matt Mitrone said was not hurtful thing. I hope to see the end of Dana White and Zufa monopoly.

Hahaha...."Roy Nelson is never not going to look like an idiot".....man, Dana....hahahahahahah

Starting to dislike jon jones more and more everyday , he obviously just ducked machida and is choosing his own fights . I want to see jones beat alexander , so machida can get his sweet revenge
