      What about him? The competition at the start of the UFC before Zuffa and White took the reigns was pitiful, Shamrock and Gracie are two great fighters who fought in an era where MMA was just finding it's feet. Unfortunately his huge positive PED test ensures his entire career carries an asterisk.

        He dominated his opponents...irrespective of weight class. Yhat compensates for any gulf in skill you point out with his opponents and those of today. Past prime bare chest flabby Royce took ped's to try to stay with the curve. Prime GI wearing Royce was the most impressive Champion UFC can boast. And I'm not even a fan of Jui Jitsu. He had every ufc fanboy claiming BJJ was the most superior art in the world and you don't even need striking in a fight, ect.

        It wasn't the art..other bjj players have come along and been trounced. It was Royce.

          To me, Jon Jones could end up being the greatest. He's almost impossible to beat.

          But Connor McCreggor is the superstar of UFC. Brilliant, and funny trashtalker. The Jose Aldo fight is going to be great.

            I still will not watch MMA.
            No point not watching they putting on some great fights , UFC has the right marketing scheme , putting the biggest matches like Rousey Holm in places like Australia means they get massive live gates and big PPV , they are cleaning up because they the match the big names as soon as they get big , next is McGregor Aldo , great fight .

            There is room for UFC and boxing and they will always be there so enjoy them both for what they are .

                This was really big news a few months back, Jon Jones is a fan of Mayweather he'd done interviews before but this won't happen. Unless Jones decides to hire one of the Mayweathers to join Greg Jacksons camp as a boxing coach, it is one of Jones weakest areas in MMA.

                The guy that wrote this knows **** all about the UFC, also GSP is clearly the best UFC fighter of all time, that isn't even up for debate.

                  Dana has this on smash. Jones can't wear anything TMT in the cage or during ring walks. Strictly Reebok. Anything UFC related, he has to wear Reebok stuff. Jones will probably just be apart of the team and floss their stuff on his own time. Nothing to do with UFC.

                      It's a good move for TMT if it's true. Just don't overpay the guy, also, while they're at it, holly holms could be a good potential excellent endorser too and it's Jon's stablemate too why not get her too while her popularity is surging. Imagine her and jon jones wearing TMT gears. It's a good exposure and promotion for the TMT brand. Nike does that, they get the top 1 or 2 guy/gal in different sport as the endorser of their brand and it totally works for them.
