Wow. Who's going to challenge this kid? Anderson Silva? I'm almost speechless. Scary to think about his potential. And he's already champion.... wow.

Shoguns never been very cut when compared to most other fighters. Shogun has more of a stocky look same as Penn. I think there was an obvious difference between how he looked at the Jones weigh-in when compared to the 2 previous Machida fights. Noticeably more fat on him, not a lot but you wouldn't expect to see any from someone who just cut weight. You can also see a big difference between his arms when he poses after they announce his weight compares to the previous 2 fights. Something that was widely disused even prior to the fight was his prior history concerning poor training habits during long layoffs. This isn't the Pride killer who trained at Chute box. He now sets his own training without a real camp.
With that said, I'm not making excuses for Shogun, I think Jones fought a perfect fight. I think Jones would take that fight 9 times out of ten. Jones may very well be the 1st dominate LHW champ since Liddell ruled the division. Strangely enough, even though Shogun beat Machida, i think Machida would be the best match for Jones.

I wasn't a big fan of Jones but he's really grown on me after the last few interviews. I really looking forward to his 1st title defense, can't wait to see him mop the floor with Rashad who has proven for the 100th time what a douche he is.
