^ Michael Johnson is going to rape Myles Jury.
Myles looks pretty small at Lightweight. His body always looks soft, and for some reason, I remember him having thick calves. He's 5'11, so I think that his bone structure + height is whats keeping him at Lightweight, I'm sure he could cut to Featherweight if he had the right diet plan.
Either way, Johnson was asking for another fight and he got it, but Myles is fighting someone above his current skill level.

Jon Jones has been tested, his division is just filled with over the hill fighters who are all former champions in the top 7 slots that none of the up and coming fighters can beat yet.
Jones entered the UFC at the right time, just like Anderson, in the sense that his current skill level is much better than everyone else in his division and he keeps getting better with each fight.
The UFC keeps trying to throw 1 dimension fighters at both Anderson and Jones, hoping that a good wrestler/good striker/good jit jitsu guy will beat them, but they always get taken out because they're not well rounded. Chael Sonnen is another example of this.
All the UFC can build around Sonnen is that he's a good wrestler and he he had Anderson on his back for 4.5 rounds, nothing else. You can see his striking improve in every new fight he takes, but he still looked bad when striking against Bisping and Anderson. He's slow and he doesn't have any power, aside from his jab, which is what the UFC commentators always hype up because he has nothing else in the striking department.
You say that the UFC throws them one dimensional fighters like they had another choice, they throw them the stronger fighters in the division but they are no match.
So from now on on those divisions (and now welter too that GSP is back) we will either see those monsters reign there forever beating inferior fighters or moving up making superfights.
What do you guys think is the chance of Jon Jones fighting Anderson Silva ?? If it happens, I think this will be one of the greatest fights of all time! I would be interested to know what people think
silva will be destroyed because jon jones is two weight classes above him and almost just as athletic. he will take him down and elbow him unconscious. as much as i want the fight to happen i dont want JBJ to ruin AS record simply because of retarded advantages.
