Jones Breaking his toe was intresting! I love him and Rogan noticed it at the interview!

I mentioned on another board that there was either a physiological issue or a substance issue for him to give himself a compound fracture on his own toe. Holty kaow, the neckbeards and isht lords came out of the woodwork to tell me what a Sonnen-loving moron I was. Oh, because we see non-impact injuries like this in power lifting, boxing, wrestling, and MMA all the time

Bones is obviously a specimen, but something just ain't right with his body for that to happen off a sprawl.


Oh, and did Chael hint at retirement at the end of the fight when he said "this was my last chance"?

So WTH....Jones nearly ripped his toe off and one other fighter almost did the same thing with his thumb?

Also, that Gnarly Eye scratch from Bisping

Bas was just talking about this very topic. He summed it up to "these things happen" he has been in the fight business longer then most and can recall many occasions where freak things like this happen.

I would say it has more to do with physics and wrong place at the wrong time....


I think Chael did indeed mention that he is looking at the end. If he cant be champ then he wont fight. He failed 3 times now. He could be a good gate keeper, possible contender again but I dont think he can accept that.

who almost lost a thumb?

[BlckBadged_SwissChee]

who almost lost a thumb?

I will have to look up the name at work but IIRC it was some guy who was undefeated or undefeated in the UFC...didn't look as bad as this Jones thing though.

would have liked to see him go out with a win. another one that could have been so much better if they would have started at a younger age.

Great read, Thats an awesome record he has, most people now don't even have a record like that, 5 fights under a min, 12 wins in a row, 12 fights that didn't pass the second row. Thats awesome. I hope life is well for him

thought it was a great main and co main.

just shows that chris had no business being in there with a beast like jacare

and luke looked scared. nice KO anyway.
give vitor silva / weidman winner. he deserves the rematch.

Rematch? I didn't know he fought Weidman before
