UFC 239 Jones vs Santos PBP/Discussion

[null]

Three lessons tonight for sure:

1- Never betting Jones ITD or under again.
2- Never betting Rockhold big again.
3- No more multiple chalky parlays which I brought out of retirement for no good reason.

Luke rockhold broke his jaw again. Man he just seems done to me can't improve his defense.

 

[clemente]

So many parlays with Luke in it...

Same :/

This card broke me I'm taking a few months break

 

[Kowboy Karl]

Did anyone win any fucking money

Seemed like a square card

I did love masvidal but got suckered into puss chin rockhold

Wished jones would have lost for grins but the masvidal violence made the card worth it

Same :/

This card broke me I'm taking a few months break

FWIW I hit a big parlay

Took my
Winnings and bought a breitling watch

Taking a break also

Sometimes a month or two off can get you the clarity to crush it again

Embrace it and enjoy

 

[Kyle Stephens]

I was feeling it... Shame. I am sure Walker or Rakic will do what Santos couldn't.

 

[mkess101]

He's just too high up on his pedestal is all. Don't feel like he needs to do anything to prove anyone right or wrong.

Agree. And as a fan of the sport that sucks.

 

[ill800]

Did anyone think Jones was going to not use his wrestling, at all?

His logic was ridiculous.

His performance against one legged fighter was embarrassing.

Dana wants killers, Jon.

 

[LEMONZEST]

Exactly. I cringed hard when they called Nunes the "women's GOAT" multiple times.

The UFC called Ronda Rousey the women's GOAT until late 2015.

Then, the UFC called Joanna J. the women's GOAT until late 2017.

Then, the UFC called Cris Cyborg the women's GOAT until late 2018.

Gee, this "women's GOAT" changes hands more often than the consensus pound-for-pound best, doesn't it?

Of course, all of that pales in comparison to the UFC calling TJ Dillishaw "the greatest bantamweight champion ever" after he beat Cody Garbrandt a second time.

word exactly. I dont mind them hyping fights and using hyperbole but there can only be one "Greatest" That is just how absolutes work.

They could just as easily say " one of the greats or a dangerous fighter etc."

 

[LEMONZEST]

Agree. And as a fan of the sport that sucks.

The best thing for everyone would have been Jon losing the split. That would have lit a fire.

The way this went down just reinforces to Jon that he is doing the right thing by coasting.

Ill remain a Silva, Aldo, Edgar, and Machida fan. I cant say I am a Jones fan whether or not he has the most raw talent.

I just played most of the dogs and made out well.

If this was the Tuesday Night Contender Series Jones wouldn't even be winning a contract and Dana would be very blunt about it.
