The future of 205

If Brandon Vera has taught us anything its that you should never hype up a fighter before he has proven himself worthy within the top 10 in their weight class. But you know what? I don't care. Jon Jones is the future @ 205. I say he's going to be a champion within 15 months. I would actually say within a year but with Shogun sidelined for another 8 months, and with Rashad being the #1 contender, that's an ambitious goal.

Lets say Jones wins against Vladimir Matyushenko, then I would give him a top 10 fighter. Perhaps the loser of Machida/Rampage? Or if Dana doesn't think he's ready for either fighter, the winner of Lil Nog/ Bader would be a great matchup too.

I guess I'm getting way ahead of myself here seeing that Jones has to get past Vladimir tonight on Versus.

Sole Survivor

Simply said, the best Survivor player of all time is Russell Hantz. Thats debatable, I understand, but to even consider Sandra as the best of all time because she is the only player to win the game twice is the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard.

Sandra has never won individual immunity which means she has no physical game. Her ONLY strategy this season was to take out Russell and guess what? She failed at that because Russell made it to the top 3! Meaning she has no social/strategic game. "If Sandra has 2 victories in the game, theres something wrong with the game of survivor" - Russell Hantz

Even if Russell didn't take the win, I'd much rather see Parvati win just because when she played the 2 hidden immunity idols at once, it was the most genius play I have ever seen.

P.s. The most dominant physical player in the game has to be James, my favourite Survivor player of all time!
