Because any of those guys would beat the shit out of me.

But that's what makes anonymous shit-talking fun. Welcome to the internet.
Cause it's fighter bashing! Anyone that wonders what the attitude and culture of the UG is need not look any further.

No, it's not. It's not fighter bashing to criticize. It's fighter bashing to insult.

Calling someone a can,can crusher,and paper champion are insults. Point fighter maybe not so much but the other 3 can be seen as nothing but.

Can't forget nothing says I'm not insulting you like calling you overrated

Like the admins have said, it's not what you say but how you say it. If I said Fedor sucked, that's insulting and that's fighter bashing. When I say Fedor is overrated, that's stating an opinion.

If people say Jon Jones makes stupid decisions, I don't report them. When they say he's an idiot, I do.

I thought it was pretty cool to hear Jones say yesterday that he thinks DC is a good dude, and a good representative of what a champion should be. I fully expect the lead up to this fight to be bonkers, if they go at 200. And then I suspect they will squash this shit after Jones beats him the 2nd time.

If they weren't in the same division, I think they would probably get along. Not saying friends, but they'd be cordial to one another. It's obvious they both respect the other's physical abilities.

Probably. DC is a highly prideful and emotional dude. He took major offence, and felt disrespected when the younger Jones told him that he could take him down, when they first met. That set off this chain of hatred, which neither will let go. I think they squash it after 200 though, because like you said, they do respect one another's abilities.

Looking at DC's career. The dude is just a badass. Started MMA way late, came into Strikeforce and faced killers, won their Grand Prix, goes undefeated at HW, comes to the UFC and wins the LHW title...although Jones was stripped...it's still quite an accomplishment. I really like Cormier and am happy to see him win the belt. That would have stuck with him until his grave, if he never won UFC gold.

I know this rematch needs to happen, but it's incredibly underwhelming as a UFC 200 main event, especially with rematches flying out everywhere out of the UFC's ass. You don't just transplant the UFC 197 main event and suddenly pretend it's an exciting UFC 200 main.

I really wish we got to see dc get involved with mma far sooner. His resume is already spectacular. Just sucks he's aging and his body is tore up. Imagine what a 25 year old dc could of accomplished.
