Mixed Martial B0nes

BONES wins!  I like that Jon “Bones” Jones got the win on Sunday, March 21, 2010.  A win over an opponent like Brandon Vera is impressive.  Bones needed that after having his decisive thrashing of Matt Hammil nixed by his illegal down elbow strike.  Dana White has a great new product now but I’m afraid of what he might do to him if I hear him right.  He said Bones isn’t ready for a title belt until he beats guys like Rashaad, Rampage, Rua and Machida.  Hmmm, me thinks Dana is trying to protect his aging stock of used up fighters/friends.  There’s new meat to cook in the UFC.  Give Bones a shot!  I hope Vera makes it through this ok.  His face was broken by Bones in a few places.  Vera is a tough tough customer and I think we’ll be seeing more Jones/Vera action for many years to come!
