UFC 165 Phantom Cam highlights

We don’t appreciate Jon Jones. There, I said it. His brilliance in the cage is overshadowed by his weird and sometimes annoying personality. But in the cage, he’s fast approaching being the greatest of all time, period.

Chael Sonnen had this to say on UFC on FOX about Jon Jones vs. Gustafsson:

“Those elbows and the spinning elbows, and the step-in and the lead elbows that Jon landed, you can’t practice those. Jon can hit mitts and he can throw those at the air, but the only time you can actually throw those at a target is in a fight. If you do that stuff in practice you won’t have any partners. You’ll put ‘em out. So for Jon to be that spot-on, that accurate while his eye is bleeding, while he’s physically exhausted, while he’s stressed and worried about losing his championship, and to still keep finding that target, was really quite remarkable from an athletic standpoint.”

Chael is right, and the best way to experience those blows are with the Phantom Cam. Oh Phantom Cam. I love you, Phantom Cam. Everything you do is wonderful, and your existence is one of the greatest things to happen to the sport of MMA in a long time. But I guess it’s a UFC thing, so it’s the best thing to happen to the UFC in a long time.

When it comes down to it, this Phantom Cam highlight reel of all Phantom Cam highlight reels is too short. We could have 5 minutes on Jones/Gus at least.
