There are a few things I really geek out over. PBS style documentaries on stuff like Fractal geometry or spontaneous combustion and dramatic weather event updates on the weather channel always get my juices flowing. Something about that threatening beeping sound and the flashing red warning signals when severe thunderstorms are coming through just really arouses my interest. That's a terribly lame admission but hey, I do get excited over much cooler things too like aggressive dutch kickboxers and the Anthony Bourdain show "No Reservations". I'm not a complete nerd, I'm just about 85% nerd.

I also really love pictorial graphs and charts. I'm not talking about the ones that the boss projects onto a white board during a power point presentation on the financial advantages of switching printer supply brands. I'm talking about fun picto infographs about important stuff like how to make mixed drinks or a display of haircuts found in musical history or even MMA. Of course the MMA infographs are nearest and dearest to my heart and this one found on mashable.com , depicting the Jones vs Evans fight-is my new favorite. Check it out:

I'm not exactly sure what this is, but I think I like it.

No one addresses this on the statistics, but I think Jones and Evans are probably de 87% most ugly fighters on the UFC.

Wow, the dick riding, nut hugging, ass sucking never seems to stop. Bet. Jones feels good. I cannot WAIT to see him knocked the fuck out. How come I never see any TRUE skill? Just the use of his long ass limbs, and cheap sneaky moves.

If by "use of his long ass limbs," you mean striking, and by "sneaky moves" you mean martial arts, I gotta agree with you.

Interesting chart. Question: does anyone think that Jones would be champion if he didn't have his height and reach? Like, if he was the same size as Dan Henderson. I think he would still be the champ.

Based on the thumbs down, I guess people don't think Jones would be champ without his reach and size. LOL.

Yeah, you mean, like, if Jon Jones wasn't Jon Jones would he still be Jon Jones? Maybe he would be like Rashad, and then the fight would have been like Rashad vs Rashad, and then Rashad would definitely be the new champion! Dude... my mind is buh-lone...

Rashad attempted takedowns but they were stuffed so fast and easy that it looked almost as if he didn't.
If you watch the fight again you will see that Jones was one step ahead of him every time he tried to go for a TD.

That, and Rashad got thrown to the ground with a simple face grab/trip combo later in the fight. His expression of surprise was mixed with an obvious "you asshole!" look that made me lol

Nice! I wish they did one for their fight just to see how much more strikes Jones landed than Rashad.
I still laugh when I remember that 2 judges gave Rashad 1 of those 5 rounds when it was so obvious that Jones won all of the rounds.
