UFC 214 - DC vs Jones

The White Feather · 26-07-2017 10:35pm

Main Event Draw

With all the MayMac stuff, this card really snuck up on me.It looks a very good night of fights!

Will DC retain? I'd love to see it but I doubt it. Hope he has a proper gameplan in place.

I'd love to see Maia win but Woodley is tough. If Maia doesn't get him down then his gameplan is limited.

All about the gameplans in those 2 fights!!

Very funny to see the put down of Luke Thomas by Jones. Thomas was really a lot worse before. He has dialed it down but some people have their mind made up about him already.Damage already done

Jones is such a fake kunt! hope Cormier bates some humility into him

Woodley loves to back up against the cage and then explode. Hopefully this will be his undoing against Maia

So Dana White and Joe Rogan publicly question Cyborg's gender, yet we're not allowed to on here?

Why would Dana, Joe or anyone have to adhere to forum rules in realife? I find it odd you think they are related. You are free to question whatever you want in private.

Or Maia's undoing. And he usually does this against accomplished strikers.

OMG lol.

Jon Jones on UFC Tonight of all places:

Q. Dana says he hasn't spoken to you in a year, why did it take so long?

A. "Actually Dana has reached out quite a few times I just didn't answer his calls or text messages. Dana showed his true colours, when you're making him money you're his everything, when you're not making him money he kinda disappears. I'll deal with Ari instead. I'm not gonna pretend to be friends."

Kenny Florian couldn't change the subject quick enough :pac:

Shaved head honest Jones is the best, no bs just straight shooting wish he was like this all the time.

What did Thomas do to Jones? wonder if hes like me and hates the fact he thinks hes an expert in everything from BJJ to Power lifting.

His defending of PED use is also quite bizzare

I don't know why but I always get surprised when Maia & Woodley face off, I always expect the opposite in size difference. Lets go Maia!!!!!!!

Honest? He actually isn't capable of it. DC said it well when Jon said '**** DC' on tv, 'oh he can curse in public now'. It's contrived as hell.

I heard he had to step down after being caught in a Liverpool treehouse, off his bin...

Wonderboy looked huge next to Woodley also, I fancy Woodley to knock out Maia.

Jones not answering Luke Thomas lol, not sure I would either he learned too much of Ariels over sensitive **** side.

Wouldn't say that. He came out with a poor game-plan against Wonderboy and is most likely about to go through a tear in Bellator now. He dispatched Paul Daley pretty effortlessly

Good to hear he's doing well in Bellator, but yeah the Wonderboy fight was very poor.

DC is going to miss weight, the bout will go ahead as a non title fight.

DC's coming in very light this time. Saw Jon Jones scoffing pancakes in the new embedded. Imagine the hypocrisy if he missed weight

Woodley in the second episode of Embedded telling the lads about being in the film reminded me of David Brent in The Office telling all the staff about being on the front cover of the Inside Paper magazine.

I don't think he ever won't look bad in the face. He still cuts a lot of weight and he's getting on. Just think he'll actually make it in good time this time.

I think Jones wrecks him if Jones has no ring rust.

While he didn't look awesome in the OSP fight, he won that fight easy and broke OSPS arm. Not bad for one of your worst fights ever.

I could listen to Dominick analyse fights all day, some really good stuff here.

Makes a good point re: Demian Maia for people worried about him, he reminded people that Demian went the full 5 rounds with Anderson Silva at his peak (on the feet), that he's well capable of handling himself standing up.

Agree on dom

As for the silva fight? Have you watched it? My recollection (foggy i grant you as its a long time since i seen it ) was of silva taking the piss and schooling maia.

Yeah you're right that was in Abu Dhabi and Anderson made a mockery of the whole thing with all his clowning around BUT... he was also doing all that clowning around against others and finishing them with ease.

I guess his point was this: If Demian's stand-up was so terrible, Anderson would have finished him easily. I don't think he was trying to say Maia can beat Woodley standing but that he can look after himself on the feet.

That's when he was doing all that power lifting stuff as well. As far as I know he's not doing that anymore.

True enough. Although i dont remember anderson looking to finish again its a long time and i suppose maias path to victory is clear here if he can avoid woodleys power . Woodley i do wonder if he will back up against the fence and let maia clinch and try get him down.

I'm pretty sure Demian's stand up was terrible and Silva was just making a mockery of him for the entire fight cause he knew Maia didn't have a chance against him. He also didn't finish Thales Leites before that simply because he couldn't be bothered.

Tbh, if anything the Silva fight does make Maia's stand up look awful because you see how little threat he posed that his opponent didn't even feel he needed to finish him

That was also a long time ago and Damien is better now on feet. Enough to win on feet here ?? Undecided.
