It wasn't the greatest fight but I didn't think it was a snoozer either. Rashad made a pretty good account for himself and he would be a BEAST at 185 IMO.

It was an average card overall I thought, not terrible, not great.

I think Rashad actually had the advantage for the first round or two, then he got put off his game plan and Jones just grew as the fight dragged on.

Rothwell ruined my parlay, I wouldn't have bet against him but i missed the weigh-ins this time around and I didn't realize he was in that kind of shape, leanest I can ever remember seeing him and still sitting on the weight limit. I was pretty disappointed by Miguel Torres yesterday, he looked absolutely terrible.


Def not the worst card in the last 6 months though IMO.

jones has this ability to switch up his gameplan when he is challenged and just do something to change the fight. against machida it was the take down that changed the entire rhythm, against rashad it was the elbows. they were brutal, and rashad was clearly hurt and went into his shell.

Aboslutely, that head kick gave him some momentum until those elbows starting connecting

145 wasn't all that bad really. Was just kind of let down by the title fight, the bocek fight wasn't bad actually, as were some of the others
