Is Jon Jones "The Most Awesomest Dude of 2011?'
That's up to you, the fans, to decide by voting in the new ESPN SportsNation poll. If "Bones" is going to take the top prize, he first has to get past the millions (and millions) of "Rock" fans from the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) universe in the opening bracket.
Jones captured the UFC light heavyweight championship by putting the smackdown on Mauricio Rua at UFC 128 earlier this year and could end his 2011 fight campaign with a win over Lyoto Machida at UFC 140 this Saturday night (Dec. 10) on pay-per-view from the Air Canada Center in Toronto.
Those wins, coupled with his destruction of both Ryan Bader and Quinton Jackson, would give Jones four wins this year, which is unquestionably "awesome" when you consider his level of opposition. But is it awesome enough to overcome the "People's Champion," Dwayne Johnson, who holds crossover appeal in Hollywood?

I think that the bigger news here is that apparently Hope Solo must have a hidden penis.
The Season 1 Mania Money Pool CHAMPION!
The only MMAmania Fantasy Football CHAMPION!
The Season 3 Mania Money Pool CHAMPION!
The reigning and defending MMAmania Fantasy Football CHAMPION!
Yeah how is Hope Solo a dude?
I realize she has more than likely pulled more decent tail than I ever will but that still doesn’t make her a dude!
the rock wins this awl day.
Like really not even comparably close. one of the biggest stars of wrestling versus a potential michael jordan. one real one fake athlete. lets just say Bones is a beast and beats Machida. but look out for RASHAD!

so you're calling the Rock a fake athlete?

The Rock
shits on everyone on there
Soon as my flow starts, I compose art like the ghost of Mozart
Even though they all say that they're real, I know that most aren't
Boy you think you're clever don't you, girl you think you're so smart
Come with me to another side of the world... so cold and so dark
The rock > everbody
It doesn’t matter you jabroni.
Long live the dragon!!!

what about Motmaitre?
And I'm something of a phenom/One puff of the chron/I'm unstoppable/I'm alive/ I'm on top again/There's no obstacle that I can't conquer/So come along with us
the fact that hope solo's fine ass is on here makes it a big pile of dog shit. pastrana is the man
love to watch wand, florian, lauzon, gsp, cain, machida, dos anjos
bones jones will be the champ for a VERY long time

You gotta love a dude who has zero care for his own physical well-being
and tapes his exploits for us.
Pastrana’s medical records include: a dislocated spine, he has torn his ACL, PCL, LCL, and MCL in his left knee, his bucket handle meniscus, broken his tibia and fibula, he’s had surgery on his left wrist twice, left thumb once, two surgeries on his back, one on his right elbow, nine on his left knee, six on the right knee, one shoulder surgery which left him with the only piece of metal he has in his body.
NNR is going to pick both Nogs on Saturday and become irrelevant to the money pool. Watch.
If the Rock wins then he should get the next title shot, right?

he will already be champ. where is the logic LSC?
Bet 10$ against VM's 41$ on Machida to beat Jones.
I would have to go with Jones actually, the definition of awesome
1. inspiring awe: an awesome sight.
2. showing or characterized by awe.
3. Slang . very impressive: That new white convertible is totally awesome.
IF YOU THINK REEM SHOULD BE RATED ANY HIGHER THAN AROUND THE #5 HEAVYWEIGHT (AND THAT IS STRETCHING IT) THEN YOU ARE A FLIPPIN MORON, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
Disagree and I am not even a Jones fan but
I remember watching him destroy Bader and Shogun and saying wow and being in awe. I don’t really ever remembering in in awe of the rock.
