Jones vs. Sonnen set for April

[CHOWWOKKA]

because jones isn't 6'3 with an 84 in reach and 230+ naturally.... oh wait.


jon 1 month ago: what does a sonnen fight do for my career? it's lose, lose.


**1 1/2 months later....

jones vs sonnen.


WHAT A F@G!!!

A natural weight isn't a fighting weight...

[Danny Gunz]

I might actually watch that TUF to see Sonnen act ridiculous

It is for heavyweights...

I disagree, I don't think Junior Dos Santos walks around at 230 and fights at 230.

The only heavyweights that I know of that cut weight are the huge mother****ers like Shane Carwin that cut from 280 down to 265lbs. What possible reason would a guy like JDS that is comfortably within the HW weight range have for cutting weight?

Because he eats too much out of training maybe?

Which doesn't discredit your point whatsoever. Actually it isn't real cutting in such a case. Cutting is when you go well below your body's healthy natural weight by such means as dehydration, etc., so yeah JDS definitely isn't cutting any weight. Jones surely is though.

I see now, he's talking more about in shape weight and out of shape weight, not necessarily meaning cutting the weight to make a class...

I agree with your point though. I only posted the extra stuff more in response to him, in case that's what he meant.

Jones may not be 265, but he could definitely fight at heavyweight I think. I guess he's still young though, but than again I don't see that many UFC fighters jumping up weightclasses really though (except to fight Jones that is).

[Salardo]

forrest griffin can beat sonnen. he already did it once. furthermore jon jones just didnt want to fight him cause sonnen is a different style matchup than hendo. if jones prepares for sonnen, it will be an easy night

[F l i c k e r]

all jones would have to do is stop cutting weight and turn his out of shape weight ratio into a more athletic ratio.

Overeem: 6'5, 265**, 80in reach
Carwin: 6'2" 280**, 80in reach
JDS: 6'4" 239, 77in reach
Cain: 6'4" 240, 77in reach
Kongo: 6'4" 231, 82in reach
Jon Jones: 6'4" 230**, 84.5in reach


lyoto: 6'1" 201**, 74in reach
Sonnen: 6'1" 215**, 74in reach
anderson: 6'2" 210**, 77.5in reach
GSP: 5'10 1/2 195**, 76in reach

just puts into scope just where jones stands. who does he really stack up with? i have no problem with him at LHW but this fight w/ chael is a farce.

**natural weight
