^ we shouldn't be laughing, condoning or encouraging this kind of behavior but the look on the face of the guy trying to stop Jones is just hilarious, like a guy trying to stand up on a surf board for the first time... Oooops

Staged, they're just trying to hype it up. It was the most uneventful "brawl"

I personally am more excited by Jones fighting Cormier than i was for the Gus rematch, think it'll be a great fight
Me too.

He's a massive threat and has manhandled a long list of impressive opponents. Gus removed the reach advantage and nullified JJ's striking, but Cormier's wrestling is immense and he trains with Cain..

I didn't think so. Looked like some punches going in towards the end.

I don't mind a bit of a scuffle before the fight. Does wonders for hyping it up, which affects the fighters as well as the fans and ticket sales.

That being said, this:

Yep, well done. Took your chance, defended well for the rest, and your opponent looked knackered despite mainly being in top for most of the round. You started well as well, took the centre nicely.

cheers guys, the great thing with martial arts is there's always room to improve and keep learning and then once you've learnt it the really tough bit is applying it in a pressure situation

Well done BRMMA great performance. Unlike me you are actually doing it rather than just watching/discussing MMA! :-)

hehe thought that myself, always impressive to see someone stepping up and doing what we all enjoy watching.

Must say it made me want to get back down the v n too, I'm more in a Roy Nelson stage at the.moment smile

Yeah i was surprised at how quick he went out as with his beard it was difficult to feel if i had it in the right position

did anybody watch Metamorisis? i tried to but even as someone that really enjoys grappling i found it pretty boring
