Americans now how 4 out of the 7 UFC titles.

Bantamweight, Lightweight, Light Heavyweight, and Heavyweight


Jones is definitely more marketable than Shogun, and the fact that he's a humble guy who lives a squeaky clean lifestyle can definitely help change some people's perception of the sport and its athletes.

I was rooting for Shogun, but whatever way you spin it, Bones earned that strap.

dana white was happy as fuck, i'm sure. jones is far more marketable than shogun.
LOL, THAT'S TRUE... IDK TAPPING FROM STRIKES IN A TITLE FIGHT WAS JUST SOMETHING I COULD IMAGINE DANA BITCHING ABOUT. I DID NOT KNOW THAT HAD ALREADY HAPPENED WITH SERRA/G.S.P. THO

THATS 5 OUT OF 7 NORTH AMERICANS... LOL NAW BUT I THINK JOSE ALDO IS GONNA BE IN TROUBLE WHEN SOME OF THE UFC'S LIGHTWEIGHTS DROP DOWN TO 145. I THINK I REMEMBER HEARIN KENNY FLORIAN MIGHT DROP WEIGHT

...AND YALL ARE RIGHT ABOUT JON JONES BEING MORE MARKETABLE. ALOT OF PEOPLE STILL SEE UFC/MMA AS A BUNCH OF TATTOOED, CRAZY, DRUNK MUTHAFUCKAS KNOCKING EACH OTHER OUT. AND WHO BETTER TO CLEAN UP THE UFC'S IMAGE THEN A SLIGHTLY SQUARE, SOBER LIFESTYLE LIVING SQUEAKY CLEAN BLACK MAN, JON JONES... THE TYPE OF DUDE WHO USED TO SNITCH ON KIDS IN HIGH SCHOOL FOR SMOKING WEED LOL

AND why did people think shogun was gonna win and then when he lost said something like "well he was coming off surgery so thats why it happened" if people really thought that then why vote for him? fucking people hahaha

i dont know what to think about the light heavyweight belt. the only people that actually held on to the belt after winning it was machida and rashad, where machida supposely lost to shogun in their first fight. and those are just 1 title defenses.

thinking about the progression of the belt Rampage could've been champ all the way up until the Bones fight.

Rampage should've beat Forrest
Rashad was up next and Rampage at the time would've beat him
Machida after that, Rampage already beat him
Shogun after that, Rampage would've beat the leg kick only Shogun that showed up that night.
Shogun number 2 wouldn't have happened.

Rampage should've had a huge run as champ.

thats a lot of assumptions. but i guess there are never any upsets in mma right.
