Not heard that one mate, read his autobiography too but never heard that. At the time he was the only Brit fighting around the world but the sport is rapidly changing, we now have well known Brits doing well such as Bisping, Hardy etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nitestalker 28 209 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 You think Jon jones could mate Anderson silva pound for pound? At the moment no. JJ is still learning his trade, he hasnt been tested fully imo. Give it a year or two of regular defending and i think he would eat AS for breakfast. JJ could be the biggest thing ever in mma. His striking and unorthodox style is amazing, his wrestling and ground game is amazing, he really is the full package. It wasnt the shogun of old that he fought, rampage didnt really test his chin, neither did lyoto really. Ithink this is the superfight that people want now. GSP is a leg-end but a small leg-end. AS can go from middle to LHW easily, GSP cant make that step up . i agree jj would beat silva just 2 gud and still only learning Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bootsha 1,306 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I saw that Freeman fight with Frank MIR, very emmotional at the end of the fight was Freeman, his father was very ill and was watching the fight . It only goes to show, evn the hard b*****ds have a heart when it comes to family. B Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was decided that no-one should tell Ian, i had a genuine tear in my eye when i found out, especially when ian was interviewed at the end and he was saying how he loved his dad, very,very moving.

Quite right Trappa, you almost forgot about the fight he'd just had, very emmotional inded. He beat MIR fair and square, no split decisions or points to worry about as I recall it, only some smelling salts. As has already been said, he was a very good fighter, but not world class. I think thats a fair evaluation of the man as a fighter, but as for his obvious love for his Dad, in my eyes, he was a world champion 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
