MMA-UFC UFC 239

[Guy Threepwood]

Good start by Tiago. He's hurt his legs early and looks dangerous in every exchange. Jon needs to get out of striking range and either clinch or take it down.

 

[deklares]

Santos rd

 

[Topkent]

Meh Jones was just getting a read on him. Expect Jones to take over from here

 

[Macpotata]

If not for injury Santos would have him


edited - he still may get him yet

 

[Guy Threepwood]

Strange fight so far. Jones is fighting very passively and could be behind 2-0. Santos' knee is a worry though. That could well be an ACL the way the knee is buckling.

 

[deklares]

So much heart from Santos

 

[Guy Threepwood]

Jones starting to take over. Santos still doing well with leg kicks, but looks like he's slowing down.

It's the most respect I think he's paid some one

 

[deklares]

Santos gives Jones some problems when he lets his hands go.

 

[Topkent]

Gotta credit Jones defence.

 

[deklares]

Would watch the rematch with a healthy Santos.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Jones always just good enough. Lovely fighter

 

[deklares]

Santos still kicking with his left leg. What an animal.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Santos looks lost now and the injury doesn't help.

probably 3-1 to Jones.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Round 5 to Santos.

3-2 Jones. But likely 4-1.

 

[deklares]

Could be majority 2-2 before rd 5.

 

[Topkent]

I'd have Jones 4-1 but I could see them give it 3-2 to Santos.

If it is an ACL, that's the leg you want to be kicking with. Planting on that leg is where there's trouble.

Close fight, but probably the right outcome. That's two fight in a row where Jones hasn't looked great.

True. He threw both kicks so still impressive.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Almost got to post this.

 

[Topkent]

Jesus the one judge gave it 48-47 to Santos that's nuts. Jones came sooo close to losing

The numbers in rd 2 were close even though it was clearly Jones rd. Who knows what the judges are watching during the fight.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Jon Jones sounds a local accountant who does Tax returns for $50 a pop

I had that 3-2 to Santos. 1,2,5 - Santos and 3,4 - Jones.

They were sucked in by the power of Santos punches in the 2nd. I would have had it 49-46 Jones yet Santos probably had the more effective punches.
