TUF 10 Finale: Jon Jones ready to take Matt Hamill down on Dec. 5

Jones by whatever he wants. Hammill won’t stand a chance.

I don’t believe Bones can take Hammill down, however if Hammill times his shot right, he may be able to take Bones down. IMO Poor game plan of Bones working for a submission off his back while Hammill is raining down hammer fists. If takendown, Bones should scramble and attempt to get back to his feet where he has the skill advantage. Bones by UD.

oops correct spelling ‘Hamill’ but who GIVES A SH*T.

don’t forget who bones jones is training with… this kid is only getting better! the holes he has in his game is getting filled by BJJ , JJ , Cardio.. he can’t lose!

Jones is going to DESTROY Hammil! Jones will be much too fast and explosive. Everytime Hammill throws a jab, he leaves it extended to long, and he leads forward with hiis chin sticking out…JOnes will use his speed to make Hammil pay for every Jab that he throws.

This should be a good fight, but Hammil isnt good enough to get past Jones’s speed!

Hamill = worst standup in UFC. I was booing and literally threw up watching him exchange with Reese Andy. Jones is the future. He’ll sub him to prove a point.

Hammill = LHW version of Cabana Boy Gurgel. He tries for exciting stand-up fights even though everyone knows his best, and possibly only, chance to win is on the mat.

That’s why he ko munoz, put a beating on tim bosch and outstruck bisping

Munoz is a 1-dimensional wrestler, Boetsch took the fight at altitude on short notice, and Bisping won. Care to try again?

Bisping lost.

Say what you want, but only three opinions on that subject matter, and two of them said Bisping won.

Who is the three people?

The judges, two of whom awarded the fight to Bisping, so to cite this fight as an example of Hammill’s striking prowess, when he was actually out-pointed and out-pitterpatted, is a failure.

NNR, If Bones does get takendown he should spend no more than 2 mins the entire fight trying to sub from his back, otherwise spend the rest for an escape and KO Hamill! I hope Bones doesn’t sub his way to a lay n’ pray losing decision, he can better make his point when that BJ gameplan is warrented.

PW since when are the judges right? You guys are right though Matt’s stand up is probably the worst in combat sports. Hockey fights and basketball slugfests and mound charges included.

ko hamill? i’m a big jon jones fan but you can tell he’s not a power puncher. i think bones will get the sub but i hope he proves me wrong and shows he has some ko power

Well some people have that natural power and some just need that technical and strenght/conditioning adjustment to make it work. Look at Anderson Silva who for years couldn’t bust a grape despite his brilliance and now suddenly he’s shutting down everyone.

NNR, I wouldn’t say that exactly… Silva was TKO’ing fighters by ref stopage in the begining of his career.. if the ref didn’t stop it Silva would have had plenty of KO’s early on. However, I get yr point and agree that Bones standup will gain power with time n’ practice. Bones at 22yrs old is only 1/2 the fighter he’s going to be when hes 30th.

I can agree with you to a point about the referees. Still though i don’t know if i am simply being critical of the old silva but -for example one of the most vivid things about his fight with Chonan wasn’t only the flying scissor heel hook per, say but instead how he was accumulating shot after shot after shot at will yet the piranha wouldn’t go down. I bet one clean hit now puts him down for sure. Yet now even Hendo who hasn’t been even rocked since allan goes shattered his knee putting it through his chin was all dazed and silly after silva put a little combo on him.

If Jones is smart, he’ll take a cue from Franklin and slip in lots of hard leg/body kicks. Defending kicks seemed to be a huge hole in Hamill’s game.

it really doesnt matter how jj develops, machida has the belt, and he is on a completely different level than anyone else, and will hold the belt as long as he wants. He made rashads hand speed look like slow motion, and not to mention his reflexes, and footwork, from being taught karate by a grandmaster since age three. Muay thai or any other form is useless against his karate, and even anderson silva has mentioned , that when they spar machida makes him look silly also.
