Jon Jones vs. Quinton Rampage Jackson Fight Videos UFC 135 Show Complete

rampage was in shape but he has the most stupid coaches. was was that gameplan? just let jones hit and wait for an opening…common you need to force him to make a mistake…rampage diddnt utilize leg kicks just stood there….argh train somewhere with intelligent coaches

Rampage had great head movement and take down defense so neutralize J.J.’s offense.

Jones Jones still had the reach advantage which made the whole difference.

Rampage did expose that J.J. does not like to get hit.

I hope that Shogun rematches him and uses his leg kicks to beat J.J.

got it going crappy fight by rampage good job on jones using his legnth still not convinced hes the future but joe rogan seems to be showing by how he was riding jone’s COCK the whole time i hate when they do that crap

stellar

JBJ is brilliant. And Bruno, you are a godsend. Thanks for the always reliable links.

$1,000,000.00
down the drain
god damnit mr.T !

ones very methodical in breaking Rampage down. He’s going to be champ for some time to come

atleast rampage did a nice job of hyping the fight. He looked like a menace out there before the fight but after the bell he looked like a frozen popsicle which was kinda expected because he couldn’t convince me that the best rampage ever just stood there the whole time?? Where your OFFENSE? Atleast rashad knows how to beat him. Jones should move up to HW if he wants some competition.

wow people, give it up, page got beat by a BETTER fighter.

Awesome “chassé bas” from french savate.It really f***** up Rampage’s knee.I don’t know why not more guys use it.Silva uses it well too.

@what a rearded fight
Jones was scared to fight Rampage??I don’t think we saw the same fight.Who was attacking?Jones.Who was flinching at every movement his opponent made?Ramapge.Your name should just be what a retard.Being a goo technical fighter and not looking for the 1 hook KO is not being scared.If you consider Jones wasscared then I would pick a “scared” fighter over anyone else to bet on.You must consider Machida,Silva and GSP scared fighters because they are smart and completly dominate their opponents without getting hit most of the time.

hey bruno any chance you can get the post fighter interview with jon jones i want to see how he made rashad a fool out of himself?

you’ve got to be shitting me if you thought rampage had good takedown defense.

John Jones just looked like he was in a whole different league, and rampage looked lost

Good lord you haters are losers.. just f****** respect the kid. You don’t have to like him, but respect his talents. You make yourself look dumb, by constantly making excuses every time Jones goes out and dominates the competition. Michael Jordan crushed my favorite teams more times than I care to remember. At some point, you just tip your hat, and say “Respect”. He’s the best in his class right now…

good fight. rogan was right. this isnt boxing. throw some leg kicks or go for a takedown. rampage need some new trainers if he think someone is gonna stand toe to toe and trade nothing but punches with him. like how he escaped that full mount but thats it. rashad evans is awkward but jones is too active of a striker. i think he’ll be up on points against most guys he faces.

Rampage had excellent striking and takedown defense. At least much better than any of Jones’ previous opponents. To me it seems that Rampage’s strategy sucked. His corner sounded in disarray. Sure he had to close the distance but they never seemed to tell him how to do so… just “close the distance, close the distance”. How about reminding your athlete how to do that instead of just saying it over and over. I dont know if it would have made a difference in the end but its always interesting to see how coaches from Greg Jackson’s camp always seem to have it together in between rounds compared to other camps.

I was not impressed with Jones’ striking at all in this fight. He seemed to miss a lot more than he ever has.

To me Jackson lost due to lack of willingness to do something different. He should really just go into boxing and call it a day. He barely kicks, never takes people down anymore, never grapples offensively. He refuses to be well rounded enough to fight modern MMA. Go to boxing and make more money… There is also his movies.

for all the rampage nuthuggers…IN YOUR FACE!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Rampage got dominated like we said he would…lol!! That win was effin sweet! Say what you want..bottom line is Rampage tapped like a little b!tch lololol!!!!! Yeah accept the reality beotch@! lolol!!

What prevented such a talented fighter from achieving his full potential.

Excuses for Rampage, seriously? According to his videos and the hype you all bought into there were to be no excuses. Those of you who still don’t give Jones respect don’t know mma. He is using his tools to win so what’s the problem. And as far as not liking forget hit…which of you idiots enjoys it? Keep running your jealous mouths about Jones and making excuses for every opponent he sends away dejected.

Jones has beat some top level competition in the 205 division. He is obviously the real deal if he finished Rampage, there is something to be said about that for sure!

JJ is going to be here a long time. Ramapge, change your dam name. Time to retire & go start a career in s*** TALKING. Thats all rampage does. WAR JJ!!!

dont blame rampage or his coaches…blame yourselves for thinking Rampage could win this..

joe rogan probaby whacks but off thinking about jones’ bone ,but f**k dat I wanna see machida beat this fool down

I really think Machida could beat him up via KO because Machida has a strange style

Thanks for re-posting, Bruno!

Apparently MusclePharm backed the wrong fighter, so much for all the Spy talk.

Rampage was barely in the fight, as for best shape of his life fighters should always come to fight in the best shape.

Watch the fight again for those that do not see, it was one sided.

Best Ever! Would kill Anderson Silva

@mmafan: It’s not about Rampage being able to win, it’s about his training and game plan and, well, everything he did in this fight was the dumbest possible way to fight Jones.

Now, let’s cut the crap. Bones is an excellent fighter mostly because he thinks. He is not brilliant in any way, but he knows he has all the physical advantages and use them. I think Machida is a smarter fighter, but Bones is stronger, with better wrestling and the freakish reach. It would be a more interesting fight than most. we have seen so far.
Rashad is another fighter who likes to study his opponents and that could cause Bones some problems.

All that said, Bones has some nasty natural perks that, because he has a brain and knows how to use them, makes it pretty damn hard to beat him at 205.

Rampage hasn’t been able to fight anyone but out of his uncanny toughness since before he came to the UFC. I haven’t seen Rampage actually fight (and not box) since Pride. And training with Tikki will not make him any better.

It’s a new era for MMA. AKA, ATA, Grudge, Jackson, Cesar Gracie, AAA, all know that. It’s mental and you need smart and powerful athletes, not dumb brawlers. You can see in all divisions the champ is the guy who outsmarts the opponents AND has the physical attributes to back it up.

jones is a puss

Did anyone notice that rampage smashed jones head into the cage in the ?second? round then tossed him off. That made me laugh. Never seen anyone do that before.

I thought rampage did quite well. He should have used his leg kicks more, but jones was very respectful of rampages power. You could tell that rampage really wanted this.

Great match.

This guy didn’t even TRY to win it. This is what sucked! he barely threw few punches – how can you win if you fight like that? there are probably 10 guys who would beat him (on points) if he did it with them. Including Forrest. He’s a WASTED talent. There are guys 10 times less talented than page, who are at least trying. He failed miserably not because he lost, but because he didn’t TRY TO WIN. he doesn’t deserve main event status. At least there is no way I’m buying an evenet with page as main event, or even on the main card. waste of money

Why everyone calls for JJ against Anderson fight, and not for JJ against Cain? Not saying JJ couldn’t beat even Cain on a given day, but saying JJ is unstoppable is silly.

you gotta kick those legs hard, few people said this, but so far nobody could do this. I believe that’s one of the ways – low kicks

jones did good…he didnt look great..rogan made it sound like a completely different fight than it was…now im sure eddie bravo is pissed becuase he was on jones d!ck so hard last night…but jone pulled the ole michael bisping gameplan…where you score points weak shots and flat out run away when your opponent throws down…jones is good and has alot of potential but he does not how power, and his striking is not the accurate and precise as rogan leads on..but i didnt like those front push kicks to the knee beacuase imo thats what took rampage out…he honestly looked like he couldnt plant on his left leg all after the first 3 push kicks to the knee and he looked like he was hobbling on on leg the whole fight imo..thats why after he took that last push kick he hopped on one leg to the cage and just leaned on it waiting for jones..i really think that those push kicks to the knee completely changed the whole fight for rampage and left him wiht only one good leg to plant…..just rewatch the fight and look at how many times he went to make a move the required pushing off wiht his left leg..and everytime his weight shifted on that leg he just bailed on the attack.but jones played it safe and won…im just thankfull that he played it safe on the feet instead of the blanket mode .

its funny how fast people jump on bandwagons. i remember at one point tito is the best ever he’s going to dominate, then chuck kicks his sorry ass and its chuck omg his strikes are crazy he’s going to dominate he’s the future, then rampage ktfo then its rampage is the future of mma, then machida picks people apart and then its machida is the future, then shogun kills machida and its shogun is to his former self hes gonna be champ for a while. then its bones is the future i dont buy it at all. i didn’t watch the shogun bones fight but i’m sure all he did was stay outside and throw kicks hardly utilizing his hands maybe some elbows. put rashad in there he’s lightning quick, more versatile striking wise and has better takedowns than rampage. call me a hater but i just dont buy into the hype yet.

So nothing unexpected honestly. Though watching this fight showed me Jones fighting style to the T. Look a fighter whose controlled aggressive with give Jones problems, because he has such long reach he’ll more often than not just keep it at a distance and pick apart others with cute strikes. Someone who is a quick starter and has short bursts of aggression frequently will hurt Jones.

This is the only fight I was really able to pick Jon Jones apart and really look at him.

Now with that said he should be champ for quite awhile he’s still learning the game and much stronger than most give him credit for. Skinny strength!

Realistically, Rashad has a much better chance than I thought he did at first, and honestly I wouldn’t be shocked if Rashad beat Jones.

Only time will tell, but hell, this kid is good. And I believe (though I dislike him) that he will (if not already) be the top fighter in the world. Bar none

Jones will get beat by somebody sooner or later.they all do.

I honestly think if some could go inside and get close and mix things up a bit they can beat jones his biggest advantage is his range where he can hit and hid defensive range. he can hit you with out you reaching him but if some one closes in on him and mix things up they can beat him.

The way jones started the fight was very strange. Maybe Rich Franklin helped him with this fight and gave Jones advice like he gave Serra during his time as the coach on Ultimate Fighter 4.

Jones didnt impress me too much in this fight. He just stood behind his reach and threw weak strikes and pretty cheap but legal strikes to Rampages knee. Rampage looked in good shape, but his game plan was terrible. I feel like he threw like 5 predictable punches per round. He could have hit jones and rocked him if he threw some 4-5 punch flurries, but nope…just the same old never-evolving rampage. The only thing he did good was TDD. But page seemed to give up easy at the end.

For the record, I see Machida as the toughest matchup at 205 for Bones.

If he beats Rashad, then Machida, I want to see him fight Silva.

Watch at 4:10 in the second round when Jones kicks Pages knee and he is never the same after it. His leg seems wobbly and likely to buckle. It is fine that Jones used it in the fight, but that move should be banned because it can easily injure your knee badly if you are coming forward.

I have a feeling more fighters will start using the side kick to knee more after seeing jones and anderson do it and this will greatly increase the chances of serious and possibly career-jeopardizing knee injuries

Anderson Silva would beat Jon Jones now, but that fight won’t happen because there are too many guys at 205 who deserve title shots. IF Jones manages to cleat out his division like Silva did, then that fight will happen. But wait, Silva is 37 and IF Jones clears out his division, Silva will be retired by then. Fantasy fight …

What was up with that Spiderman walk Jones did in the first round? Too bad soccer kicks are banned!

Hendo

@RearNakedSmoke – agreed. I also believe page, even when he got on the inside a few times, didn’t even TRY to do the damage. He lasks a killer instinct in my opinion. The only way to beat Jones is to get on the inside and try to knock his head off. Also very often when page threw a low kick, he landed. Why he abandoned it is beyond me. The were screaming “you must find get the rangeę but what’s the poing of struggling to get in the range if you won’t even try to do something with it ? I don’t get it. I believe Rashad has much more “killer” in him nowadays to at least give bones a good scrap, maybe even beat him up. Bones is not unbeatable – far from that.It’s just that page has no drive – it’s like that for the last 3-4 fights and it’s the last fight of him I’m watching.

if quinton and jon went toe to toe and turned it into a street fight rampage would have totally messed him up so really it looked like jon was a star buti still think quinton could win if he gets inside and doesnt hesitate and sets it up better and once he gets inside jones would have been done but he didnt so he made jon look like star when all he had to do was get inside and clip him a few a times did jones win the fight yes and he looked good doing it.. but giving it deep thot page can beat him. its more of a delusion than anything else i really saw that if page finds a way inside jon cant do nothin but thats jsut my 2 cents…

Both fighters have different range.
Rampage can be out of his own range and still be in Bones’ range.
For Rampage to be out of Bones’ range he would have to be way out of his own range.
Then you add in the factor that attacks have their own different ranges too.
And some fighters are better and certain attacks more than others.
Then there are the wild card attacks which are not supposed to work but they do.
Range is to know you are either out of attack range or within attack range.
Range is to know which attacks are used from which range.
Range is the know the ranges of various attacks.
Range is the avoid but still have balance and position and range to counter.
Range is the attack but still have balance and range to avoid counters.
Range is to know how your opponent is using range.
Range is to not be within your opponent’s attack range only to let him attack.
Range is to not just play catcher (target practice for your opponent).
Rampage advanced, but he stopped at Bones’ attack range, but still out of his own attack range. If you are going in, do something, or don’t go in. Bones was measuring Rampage.

Thanks Bruno.

first he has to beat rashad because he didn’t beat a wrestler that can box and is lighting quick like rashad is. look at bone’s fight with bader he threw no kicks did nothing in the standup and relied on his takedowns, but i doubt rashad will let him do that, he’s a good enough wrestler and quick enough to stuff bone’s takedowns. if bone’s does decide to throw kicks and turn his back on those spinning elbows rashad will take him down and we’ll see bone’s work off his back for the first time. then he has to get past machida, who is stylistically, a good matchup for a young bone’s who might get too anxious and be too aggressive against machida instead of sticking to his strength which is picking his shots when his opponents lunge forward. then he’ll have to get past hendo and cormier when he drops down to 205 two guys who outclass him wrestling wise. hendo has that one punch knockout and crazy control from the clinch. and cormier has quick hands and solid boxing like rashad but is much much stronger. then he’ll have to get past davis a guy like bone’s who is a phenomenal athlete and great wrestler with a good jiu jitsu game. he has alot of guys to go through before i say he’s anywhere near the same class as gsp or anderson silva

If you were watching the fight closely, you could plainly see that bones copied a good many moves (especially the kicks) and techniques from A.Silva. Thing is: Anderson silva knows how to do A.S. better than anyone else.

Using his kicks to keep the page at bay was key in this fight. It threw off Page the whole time. Silva utilizes his kicks the same way. No way will Bones get close enough to Silva to throw the spinning elbow or fist. I think Silva would be looking to counter that move than just ducking under it.

When Page got cut, it basically altered the fight by making Page start over protecting the cut and. It seem to take a lot out of him. Plus, its frustrating to get kicked and not being able to get in and fire off some blows yourself. It was the main cause of him allowing Bones to get his back to apply the RNC.

When was the last time you saw Silva get cut like that. He protects himself better. That,s why I say that his speed,power and Jitsu would be too much for Jones. Anderson got reach and creative moves.

In short, Bones is a fake carbon copy of the Spider. More important, Silva is more accurate a puncher. Yeah, lets see that fight!
