Johnny Bones Jones vs. Matt the Hammer Hammil unofficial discussion

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Pretty muh here's what I want to ask... who are you pulling for and who do you think will win?

Who I'm going for? This is a tough one, Matt Hammill is a natural guy you can get behind, he's about as "babyface" you can get in the UFC, the whole inspiring story of the deaf athlete, and his post fight speeches are always inspiring, just because it appeals to the heart.

But Bones Jones is awesome, he's one of those guys that is a freak athlete and he seems like a pretty well together nice guy. What he did to Stephan Bonnar was pretty awesome to watch and he is the future of the UFC 205 division. He can strike, he can wrestle and he knows his way to get things done on the ground. Bones Jones= excitement. He also owned Jake O'Brien which is always nice since O'Brien is a lay and prayer.

So I'm pulling for Bones. I love the way he fights, and he definitely has the "it" factor.

Who do I think is going to win? Bones as well... he seems better rounded than Hammill and he 's a sick wrestler so he could stalemate Hammill in that department. Hammill is no slouch and will give Bones some trouble methinks, but in the end I think Bones' superior athleticism (/ trademark blackman "explosiveness") will guide him to victory.

I am hoping for and expecting a fire fight. Lots of big striking by Bones.

I think Hammil will have the advantage in the wrestling department, it's really going to be the stand-up game that determines the fight imo. I'm gonna go with Hammil via tko round 2.

[Funky Fly]

Love em both, but Bones is gonna be competent enough on the ground to be able to escape anything Hammil will try. Then he'll pick Matt apart standing up before a big blowout KO, I think.

[Impact!]

I like Bones and all but I think people are hyping him a little to much...I'll happily be proven wrong though.

[Fabien Barthez]

You have to say Jones really, based having seen Hamill looking more than beatable in previous fights. When you have had the early dominance Jones has had, you deserve to be considered a favourite until proven wrong IMO.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Yea it's not like I'd be surprised if I was proven wrong, but my expectations are still high regardless.

I have to go with Jones, he's a mad cool dude and he went to my school. Plus he is exciting.

[Reavant]

I think their wrestling is a lot closer than most people are giving jones credit for, so the difference will be made on the feet and from what ive seen, outside of a high kick, jones has better stand up.

[Savio]

I can only see hamill winning by KO. I dont see Jones winning by KO though, I see him either winning by submission or Decision.

Its funny that Hamill went to RIT which is and academic rival of our school.

Ninjashoes had a story on him where he was interviewed and stated that he used to snitch on the stoners.

Needless to say, Ninjashoes (who are heavily pro-Diaz) turned on him instantly.

[Savio]

Ummm Jon Jones used to smoke all the time so I call that false......or possibly he was lying or it was before i met him.

[Reavant]

i think he was talking about matt

[Vastardikai]

It was a Jon Jones story.

It's actually kind of funny how 90% of the Shoes turned on Bones.
