Same here. I'm very upset Shogun got so beat down tonightJones is a bad dude. I feel bad for his friend Rashad.
Given the years he's fought and the names he's faced he should've been better prepared to face a guy who knows how to use his reach. The lhw belt continues.what a terrible fight.
Rua was at a huge size dissavantage, if not for that... then it would have been a better fight, and someone who does not have as much experience, like Jones, would have been beaten.
Hard to fight someone with such long reach, that you have to run at to get a punch in...
The size wasn't the only issue. The strength is what throws people off. He takes guys to the ground, and reverses position at will.what a terrible fight.

Agreed but even if you put size and strength aside Shogun had nothing going for him in this fight, Bones should've knocked him out 3 minutes into the first round either way Shogun gassed after the 1st round and had nothing left (possibly because of the knee injury suffered) the JJ game he'd been touting didn't work 'cause of Bones' defence.The size wasn't the only issue.

Complete package of Defense, strength, size, and ridiculous striking. I don't think his chins ever been tested, so who know what will happen if he ever gets clipped. Brock found out the hard way what its like to take a punch for the first time in a fight. :wink:
