Anybody watching the fights tonight? Who do you got? This should be a great night of free fights. A few interesting storylines: Can Gomi regain his form of 3 years ago, What will Jones do next, can Okami put a stop to Munoz's MW run. I can't wait.




Rob Kimmons vs. Steve Steinbeiss - Kimmons

Darren Elkins vs. Charles Oliveira - Oliveria

Brian Stann vs. Mike Massenzio - Stann

James Irvin vs. Igor Pokrajac- Irvin

DaMarques Johnson vs. Matt Riddle - Riddle

Paul Kelly vs. Jacob Volkmann - Kelly

Tyson Griffin vs. Takanori Gomi - Griffin

John Howard vs. Jake Ellenberger - Ellenberger

Mark Munoz vs. Yushin Okami - Okami

Jon Jones vs. Vladimir Matyushenko - Jones



Here is a good breakdown my friend did:

Driver: Cleveland Launcher 2009 FW: Adams Tight Lies 3w Irons: Bridgestone Precept Tour Premium EC603 3-PW Wedges: Cleveland DW/SW Adams LW Putter: Odyssey White Hot XG Marxman

I think Jones will put on a striking clinic on Vlady before eventually taking him down and finishing him with some brutal GnP. The Janitor is a good fighter, but I don't see a way he can win this fight. even though this is at best a lateral stepfor Jones,Greg Jackson's fighter never come in unprepared on unmotivated.

Cant believe you all picked Griffin hahaha. Gomi is a beast! He looked good, real good. You guys must've not watched much pride because Gomi was and still is devastating.

BTW did you see Griffin's face slam right into the Matt LOL and then Griffin started acting like he wasnt actually out.. Wouldnt even congratulate Gomi.

I think pretty much everyone picked Griffin. Gomi had not looked good over the past 2 years. Hopefully this fight is a harbinger of things to come from him. When he was on top of his game he was one of the most exciting LWs out there.

There are quite a few fighters that "were" good in Pride and have come over and done nothing. Gomi was no exception until last night

I think pretty much everyone picked Griffin. Gomi had not looked good over the past 2 years. Hopefully this fight is a harbinger of things to come from him. When he was on top of his game he was one of the most exciting LWs out there.

This is exactly why everyone picked Griffin. Gomi hasn't done anything in years and didn't look good against Florian either. Smart money would have been on Griffin

Does anyone know who Bones will fight next?! This guy is exciting...

He said he wants a top 3 guy. He has also talked about moving back and forth between 205 and HW kind of like Randy did. He said that he will move to HW at the drop of a hat to fight James Toney....Toney has had a few choice words for Jones lately. I'm sure you noticed how big Jones was. He was 226 fight night and walks around around 235 or 240, so he is huge for LHW. I think they will throw him in there with a top guy next. I actually felt that fighting the "Janitor" was a step backwards for him but that is just my opinion.

Bader vs jones for a title shot.

forgot about that one

You're right though, probably Griffin next, maybe Thiago Silva when he recovers from whatever is keeping him out of this weeks fight

Bones vs Thiago Silva would be fricking CRAZY

I am a huge MMA enthusiast and I think Jon Jones is a going to be a Champ very soon!

The most recent rumor about his next fight was the winner of the Bader/Lil Nog fight! Either fighter (Bader/lil Nog) would be a great test for Jones. All three guys are the next face of the LHW division!! I can't wait to see who wins and if they will confirm Jones' next opponent!

Driver: currently: POS future: 10* Diablo Edge
Hybrid: 24* #4 Diablo Hybrid Steel
Irons 3-PW: X14 series
Putter: White Hot XG Marxman Mini Putter

Bader is over rated. Bader's wrestling is what has gotten him this far and Jones' wrestling would nullify it. Lil Nog is a much better fighter than Bader. Either way, Jones takes the win.

I really don't like the fact that the wrestling guys are doing so well. The one's that try to finish the fights are fine, but the guys that use their wrestling to LnP on their opponents to get a decision win are ridiculous. But I realize that it is their opponents' job to stop that. Wrestling is coming out on top pretty good right now, but I say in a year or so it goes by the waste side. It will be easier for the other fighters to learn TDD than it will be for the wrestler's to learn top level BJJ and striking....IMO

I agree, Bader hasn't shown enough to make me think he has a shot against Jones. I wasn't a big fan of his on TUF, too cocky for his limited skills, but he is a great wrestler and that is going to make him dangerous to alot of guys, Jones just isn't one of them.

Stand up guys need to learn to anticipate the shoot and throw a well timed knee. Wrestlers will be less likely to go for the TD if they have to worry about a knee to the face. It seems non-wrestlers panic when going against wresters and completely change their fighting style. I've seen too many strikers and BJJ fighters just stand there frozen trying not to open themselves up for a takedown which not only makes for a boring fight but almost ensures them of a loss.

I agree. For the good strikers, I can't believe they never try a knee. I mean, they know they are going down anyway, so why not try a knee, kick, or even an upper cut. That's why I predict the wrestler's will fall off before long....but that can be said for anything. It all goes in cycles. No one art will rule for ever.

      Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.
