Despite looking in the best shape he’s been in a long time, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, 32-9 (7-3 in the UFC) became another victim of Jon Jones at UFC 135.
After being picked apart for the better part of three rounds, Jackson was forced to tap after getting caught in a rear naked choke.
Jones became the first person to stop Jackson inside the Octagon.
Although the door may be closed for Rampage to get the UFC title, here are some fights he could take to get right back on track.
I will be the first to say that Jones defeated Rampage handily. I actually thought Jones would take Rampage down much more easily, and dominate him more from top position. My prediction was a 3rd round TKO, but in the end, I’m not surprised by a …
I will be the first to say that Jones defeated Rampage handily. I actually thought Jones would take Rampage down much more easily, and dominate him more from top position. My prediction was a 3rd round TKO, but in the end, I’m not surprised by a 4th round submission.
But, just like when Jones beat Bader and an injured Rua, his hype has once again gone over the top. His striking and wrestling are both being called the best at light heavyweight. Some are even calling him the current P4P best fighter in the UFC.
His wrestling is great, but it isn’t the most proven at light heavyweight and his striking is truly being overrated.
His natural length and size gives him odd advantages that are tough to prepare for, but his style will stop being a mystery. Even in his last fight, his spinning elbows didn’t come at unpredictable times, and he telegraphed his sidekicks very badly.
Rampage is a solid striker, but has always had trouble with unorthodox fighters and strikers who utilize kicks, and it showed. He couldn’t deal with the telegraphed sidekicks of Jones, and was almost constantly kept at a range because of it. Other top light heayweights wouldn’t have this problem.
Remember the Machida Era? His style was called perfect. Between his phenomenal takedown defense, hard-hitting counter strikes and incredible evasiveness, people thought his style had no weakness. The attitude toward Jones now is very similar to the attitude toward Machida before he fought Rua. Just like there were always fighters who could beat Machida, there are fighters who can beat Jones.
Evans might be the one to beat Jones. His wrestling is some of the best at 205 and he has trained with Jones before. He is the fighter with the most experience at overcoming Jones natural size and reach.
Or maybe Machida. Machida’s takedown defense is better than Jackson’s, and he’s a more dangerous striker who is better at covering distance. His movement is also better, and he would not simply stand still and be nailed with sidekicks.
Jones is a champion, and currently a top pound-for-pound fighter. But has he really looked more dominant than GSP, Silva and Aldo? Has he even looked more dominant than Cain Velasquez?
Jones is great, but he’s not the P4P best and needs to prove himself before being placed so high above the other champions in perceived ability and ranking.

Well, Steven Seagal made it out to the festivities Saturday night in Denver and it’s beginning to seem like either he’s some kind of mixed martial arts guru or he’s a senile old man who is way out of touch with reality. My bet’s on the latter.
Our friends Karyn Bryant from MMA H.E.A.T. and Ariel Helwani from MMAFighting caught up with Sensei Seagal before and after the event, respectively, and let’s just say old cockpuncher had a few yarns to spin.
Check out the videos and the bullet points of the world according to The Glimmer Man after the jump.
(Don’t look into his eyes. He’ll hypnotize you like he did the Black House guys.)

Check out the videos and the bullet points of the world according to The Glimmer Man:

• Seagal counts Jones as a friend and refers to him as “Mr. Jon”
• He claimed that he was going to have some words of advice for Jones in his dressing room prior to the bout, but according to Jones at the post-fight presser, he turned down the offer
• He refers to Lyoto Machida and Anderson Silva as his “people” and his “sons” and “children”
• He said that Jones might use the front kick he taught Anderson and Lyoto, but later said he didn’t do it right because he hasn’t learned the deadly move yet
• He predicted that the fight would be decided on the ground by Jones by elbows
• He says Anderson wants to be a cop when he retires and that he may do so with him in Arizona

• According to a Tweet by Ariel Saturday night, Seagal told his cameraman what angle to shoot him at
• In spite of the fact that he said earlier that Jones’ elbo

Saturday night at UFC 135, Jon Jones once again showed his dominance when he defeated Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.
Jones picked Jackson apart the entire fight until finally submitting him by rear-naked choke in the fourth round.
At age 24, Jones has dominated every fighter he has faced in the UFC, become the youngest UFC champion in history and overall lived up to the hype.
Anyone can lose in MMA. But when a fighter comes along like Jones has, it almost looks impossible, as his only loss was due to a disqualification vs. Matt Hamill for illegal downward elbows.
Can Jones really be stopped? Here are some things a fighter must possess in order to defeat him.

The likely hood of Jon Jones losing his fight with Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at UFC 135 on Saturday is small…very small, but that doesn’t mean he won’t.
Fight fans have all but decided that Jackson is going to lose, but this is MMA and nothing is sure. It’s impossible to completely count Jackson out. The power he has in his fists is enough to knock anyone out.
If the unthinkable were to happen and Jones lost, who would he fight next in a weight class where he’s been so dominant? Read on to find out.

Huge UFC news broke today when it was announced that legendary light heavyweight fighters Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Dan Henderson will fight at UFC 139 in November.
This PRIDE throwback fight will be huge for the UFC light heavyweight rankings as “Hendo” makes his return to the division. But where does the now-former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion currently sit in the division?
To answer that question, we need to take a closer look at what is currently happening in the Octagon at 205-pounds.
Jon Jones and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson will determine the top dog in the division this Saturday night when they do battle at UFC 135 this upcoming weekend. As awesome as these two fighters are, though, they are only two of a now unbelievably stacked light heavyweight division.
So let’s see who the Top-10 205-pound fighters in the UFC currently are!
