      Was a good card indeed, Aldo has cleared out that division, hope Petis beats Henderson again and we have champ vs champ

      Shame about the Aldo fight. KZ was well and truly down but I was looking forward to an all out attack in the last 2 rounds. That dislocation looked nasty, Aldo smelt blood and was all over that shoulder, brutal.

      Gutted for Machida, if he doesn't finish fighters his style doesn't lend itself well to the judges scorecards. Lets face it though none of them will beat Jones, Glover Teixeira the only chance imo.

      Jones is in for a surprise if he thinks he can hang at heavyweight, most underrated division in the UFC

      Is he stepping up? Too many  bomb throwers in that division for Jones!

      There's talk of it, think he can take DC at Light Heavyweight but Cain and Junior may be too much for him. I wouldn't even say that he could take Reem

      Yeah I agree, Cain and JDS would be a big ask. Although he could comfortably hang in the top 10 against the smaller punchers. Think there's still some great fights for him at light heavyweight to be honest, Gus and Glover being two.

      Yea he has Gus and Glover and DC to run through first, DC being a perfect transition to heavyweight

      imagine a fight of jon jones vs big country, talk about a contrast in styles!

      would certainly be an interesting fight

      obviously nothing that crazy would happen, but would like it to be mixed up a bit sometimes

      Can't see Jones losing, but should be an entertaining fight nonetheless. Be good to have Tito erased from the record books too.

      Jones all the way for me too, the UFc have done another good job of promoting a 'real challenge' to Bones. Just can't see it but ya never know.

      WOW!!! Just watched Jones/Gustafsson. What a fight. Jones by decision......I had Gustafsson up to the 4th rd. I think Jones realized he was in trouble and the last 2 rounds he really came back. At one point in the 5th rd Gustafsson was so wiped he could barely stand, Jones too but he managed to score more with those elbows and kicks and thats what gave him the win. But I thought Gustafsson controlled the fight, he took Jones down, escaped when Jones had him, he had more head shots, but it really could of gone either way. I cant wait for the rematch.

      I will say what a contrast in the last week. Watched Mayweather fight last week.....and now this fight and it is clear how much better UFC/MMA is over boxing. Last week had 90 seconds of action and UFC 165 had 2 hours of action. Cant stand boxing anymore. Once Mayweather retires....boxing is dead. Good riddance.

      Was amazing, too close to call really, had Gusty easily taking round 1 and Jones taking rounds 4 and 5. Other two rounds could have gone either way and like that its usually champion's advantage. I think Jones' pressure, his coming forward slightly more in them later rounds was the difference, was so equal and so f**king good. Maybe even that elbow towards the end of round 4 was the only thing as that round was in the balance too up until then. Dunno how Gusty withstood that actually.

      What about Barao? That guys an animal. Not lost for 8 years and is damn fun to watch, what a KO!

      I saw UFC 166 yesterday... not one fight disappointed. I think if i was trying to convince someone to watch ufc this would have been the card to show them.

      Sanchez was a nutter, dos santos showed why he's one of the best heavyweights

      Watched the Sanchez/Melenez fight yesterday after getting a text off my mate saying 'watch it, it's the fight of the decade'. He's really into his UFC so I decided to give it a go. BRUTAL. The third round was simply brilliant, Sanchez's sheer determination after being battered was something to behold a must watch for anyone.
