Come on lads,it's done and dusted,people have voiced their views on it,(some more drunkenly than others )they've been heard and acknowledged,so I think everyone is now on the same page about keeping this game,being played in the right spirits.

Think its time we all agree to disagree on this one, befor anfield has another period and cries at someone else. Ha.

The axe is right, you do have bias towards some fighters, and i for one love that you do. I do, and Is that not the reason why we are all on here. We love fighters and fighting, we all know that jump off the sofa feeling when your fighter you like wins or when a guy youve been calling class for ages makes the grade and pulls off a quality win. This is why we fight with venomous passion over jds and cain. And jonny bones v other light heavies.

We all Have our opinions but telling people to fuck off aint the armbar way, that shit is out of order, everyone has there own valid opinion arguing fine, fucking people off makes you a mindless ass. Cut that shit out, were all fight bretherin and whilst were on the issue, nobody on here cheats either, i usually post my predictions first, 2brutal is a computer retard, im being serious this guy didnt have an avatar pic for 2months cos he couldnt work out how to do it. But the guy knows more about mma than anyone you cud think of, he copies the list and then puts in his own results, hence why he does better than those he supposedly copies from in the league and cups.

As for the superman issue, it wasnt an issue, he posted late, but dint know the results, we were on a night shift together, he posted during the card cos he forgot to post earlier, if there are any tips on the fights in the movie the other guys, then yes he cheated but seen as how that film is a barrell of awesomeness and contains no mma at all, i think he's ok, Simples. Lets end all this hostility here.

Ps cain is gunna smash jds.

My sentiments exactly, I don't know why the issue was brought back up.

I'm going to enjoy reading this discussion when Anfield returns and has his say

We all have our favourites bu most of us can actually admit that they have faults and may not be the best, you can't. Also there's literally no need to react like you do 95% of the time, seriously, you just ruin the discussions when you start naming calling, very childish. Grow up or at the very least mate lighten up, please

Or Jones would stuff his take downs, get a hold of him, throw him around like a sack of potatoes and destroy him Matt Hammil style minus the illegal elbows. Jones is a terrible matchup for Sonnen IMO. He's too big and strong for him.

Jones is actually an ideal match up for Sonnen. He's not stopping those takedowns and Sonnen won't stand still the way EVERY one of Jones's opponents has. He's been spoon fed a bunch of slow unathletic plodders, over-rated UFC hype machine products, and a couple of hasbeens.

I disagree, Sonnen hasn't fought well at LHW. His takedowns were stuffed by the likes of Griffin and Babalu and Jones is much stronger than both of them. No one has been able to take Jones down, and that list of people consists of some impressive wrestlers. Bader, the Janitor, Hammil didn't get close to getting him down. Now you might say Sonnen is a better wrestler than all those fighters, which is true but he's also not as big and strong as them. I reckon Sonnen would have a lot of problems with Jones, especially with his poor submission defense.

He hasn't fought at LHW in YEARS.

None of those wrestlers are even close to Sonnen and he's a lot stronger than he was when he was originally fighting at 205. He's also much quicker and a far better boxer than any of those three. Sonnen's boxing sets up his takedowns and he could get inside on Jones and from there a takedown is a foregone conclusion.

Jones hasn't fought anyone of Sonnen's calibre yet. And don't say Shogun, because he didn't fight Shogun, he fought 10-20% of Shogun.

That may be but is he stronger than Bader, Hammil and the Janitor? I don't think so. He is quicker and has better stand up, I agree but don't forget Jones will have a huge reach advantage. No matter how quick he is, shooting out from a distance will make his takedowns telegraphed and it's possible Jones can counter with a big knee or grab his neck and choke him with a guillotine. Sonnen has a habit of leaving his neck exposed when going for take downs.

Also I agree about the Shogun fight and I stated that right after the fight.

However size differences do matter. If you take Machida and then say Velasquez, both are top fighters but most people would only pick one winner and a big factor in that is size. Same applies to Sonnen and Shogun.

Are you really comparing a 240 natural HW and a 215 LHW to a 220 LHW and a 210 MW?? Completely different situation. Sonnen is as strong as most 205ers.

Sonnen won't be shooting from a distance, he'd be shooting from a contact position. Not sure where you arrive at the conclusion that he leaves his neck exposed when shooting for takedowns either.

I'm compering a 240 natural HW and a 215 LHW to a 225 6'4 LHW with the longest reach in MMA history to a 200 6'1 natural MW with average reach. Not to mention the physical differences.

He might have a hard time closing the distance against Bones so he'll be forced to shoot from far. I have arrived at that conclusion due to the fact he was caught in tight guillotines against Miller, Maurdquart and I believe Okami after going for takedowns. He was also subbed by Horn with a guillotine.

Im the guy who thinks your a tool for having a go at someone who was voicing their opinion on a forum that is open to all. Telling someone to fuck off cos you dont like there opinion and cant think of anything better to say is embarrasing and disrespectful.

Sonnen walks around at 210 minimum. He's a huge MW.

Why would he have a hard time closing the distance on Jones. He's got no power and telegraphs everything. If he could close the distance on Anderson, it'll be easy to close on Jones.

Those were not tight guillotines, he was never in danger.
