UFC 135: Jones vs Rampage tonite! [thread]

Jones needs to be pressured. No one has did that yet, they all let him use his reach advantage and let him dictate the pace ala Anderson Silva. Sonnen took the fight to Silva and put him the closest the L common . As a style matchup I think Machine has the best shot at defeating him. I actually think Rashad has a better chance than Rampage did due to him being faster and a very good wrestler.

How does this one fight prove any different? When you consider quite a few of the top guys in the UFC are former Pride fighters, it still is a debate.

Considering Pride doesn't exist anymore that part can't be a debate but your point is right. There are quite a few of the top guys in the last few years in UFC that were Pride guys. Rampage, Shogun, Hendo, to name a few and many others have appeared in Pride. The reality is that the Pride guys are getting older, that simple.

That was the point I was trying to make.

    • Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season. 
    • Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively. 
    • Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
