2 black guys in the octagon. They look to be opposing one another, but too early to tell.

I imagine there are cops everywhere.

I imagine there are cops everywhere.

Indeed. Looks to be the early 90's LAPD on hand for this evening's... Ehem... Brawl.

 

[HoptownVol]

Don't mean to be a prick, but I'm pretty sure this fight opened at +650. Hoping OSP can land the hail mary, and I'll be rooting him on from my couch (or living room, as I pace around), but I'd be shocked if he pulls it off. That Showtime-Barboza fight has fireworks written all over it though.

Can I borrow your time machine? I dont follow this stuff every day.

 

[IndianapolisVol]

Even first round. I would guess 10-10... OSP started stronger, Jones finished stronger.

 

[DocVOLiday]

Keep us updated!

 

[IndianapolisVol]

2nd round probably will also be a draw. OSP looks fast but he looked fatigued at the end of the 2nd. Jones seems to be in better shape. It's hurting OSP that he was put on this fight card on such short notice IMO.

 

[IndianapolisVol]

Round 3: 10-9 Jones. This is a really ****ty fight. 3 rounds in and both look sluggish and lazy.

 

[SDV]

Need to play 3rd round for what

 

[HoptownVol]

Oh well, we knew it would take a miracle shot. Round 5, OSP looks out on his feet.

 

[IndianapolisVol]

Jones 10-9 again in round 4, Jones got a take down, OSP looks tired but he also looks tough.

Honestly it's becoming a snooze fest, though

 

[Enki_Amenra]

He did much better than I thought he would.

Wouldn't be the first time he wasn't in top shape though...

 

[SDV]

He did much better than I thought he would.

Kinda like a 10-4 season

 

[HoptownVol]

He did much better than I thought he would.

I dont. He had no offense all night, and I think Jones' plan was to make a 5 round fight. Total mismatch.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Boring fight. But OSP didn't get knocked out and showed some skill. Much improved from his last fight.

Jones was rusty and if he had a better gameplan like take OSP to the mat every chance he would have wrapped this up in the 3rd.

 

[IndianapolisVol]

Jones with the win by decision

They were even through the first half of the fight, but Jones had a round 3 take down and shook off the rust for the win.

This by no means was either Guy's best fight, though. Jones and OSP both seemed out of shape and lazy.

 

[chewie8008]

Great fight against the #1 pound for pound. Still needs work on his gas tank, but has shown improvement. Got up twice, if only for brief moments, from takedowns. Keep working on that tank and his takedown defense and the sky is the limit. A few hard shots to Jones that made me say "uh oh". Overall, a good showing vs the best of the best.

Go Vols!

 

[Blake25p]

Remember OSP took this fight on 3 weeks notice, and went 5 rounds with arguably the best MMA fighter ever.

 

[BearCat204]

OSP did much better than most thought.

 

[Escape Goat]

He had a broken arm in 4th and 5th rounds. OVP is a beast.
