    Wow a judge actually gave Rashad a round. These judges never cease to amaze me.

    Who wants to take a guess at how long it will take someone to blame the fact that Jones didn't finish this fight on Greg Jackson?

    I'll say it'll be between 14:00 - 15:00 tomorrow.

    I thought there might have been a bit of beef squashing after that fight but it looks like the animosity is still just as bad.

    They never even looked at each other after the fight.
    Yeah wait for the drive by.

    He didn't finish Evans, when he could easily have.

    Yeah but he made very light work of much better fighters in Machida and Shogun, very violently. Evans is doing nothing to stop him doing the same thing here but he's choosing not to.
    you are really under rating Evans. He is 100% at the same level as the top 3 LHW contenders. Jones is just that much better.

    I wish the commentators wouldn't be so biased as well, it's like watching a Barcelona match on RTE.

    They were bigging up Jones because he is so much better than Rashad. 5 rounds better in this case!

    So who impressed the most tonight lads.? For me it was probably McDonald. I know Che was thrown in at the deepend and has a name to live up to. McDonald is really a force to be reckoned with in the future. Love to see him v Condit again.

    Both McDonalds really impressed me. I was impressed with Michael McDonald's fights but I didn't expect that finish with Torres. Really impressive.

    Yeah McDonald was the star of the night. Unfortunately for Mills it seemed to have been set up that way though!

    Yeah I feel sorry for Mills. He was thrown to the sharks tonight. He was lost. He has a great future but he still has to learn a thing or two.

    HENDO!! Oh ffs... 41... 5' 11".... what a waste of time! The fight tonight was muck too, only thing we can confirm about Evans is that he's awesome at gently bouncing back and forth while standing.

    It's confirmed. The 205 division is the me magnet for nonsense.

    If you think Henderson is anything less that an incredible athlete you should not only give up MMA but sport in general.

    Will ya stop, we just saw how well Jones (6' 4", reach like 85") shut down a 5' 11" Evans. Evans has the second best takedown rate in UFC, did u see a sniff of a takedown, and im sorry i dont care how great an athlete u are, 41 is past it, jones is 24 and hungry, muse all ya want but they might aswell start lookin for the next guy to fight jones now

    Yeah, because if there's one thing MMA has taught us it's that height is the most important thing about MMA!

    And you're completely right about just pointing out that he's 41 and, without taking into account any of his strengths, weaknesses, form, record, health, fitness, heart, ranking etc just saying he is "past it" simply because he is, indeed, 41!

    I'm glad you're making such solid points and not talking absolute ballocks! Because that would be bad!

    Hendo only needs to land once to finish anyone, and he's got the chin to take shots in order to get in and land that one bomb.

    Jones' chin was tested a bit last night with those big overhand rights. Big difference between Hendo and Rashad with overhand rights though ;).
    Fight of the year candidate but I say Jones takes it with effective range and ground control.
