jon jones is d best fighter right now..haters gonna hate
Jon is not the best until he beats the spider. The spider holds the P4P best title until it is taken from him. If they never fight it's going to be harder to declare him best of all time. However, at the moment, Silva holds the crown, seeing as their only common opponent was more easily dispatched by silva.
sorry but jbj wrestling and groundgame is enough to beat spidey..and jbj is better in everywhere.,,ELBOW OF HELL!!
Exactly hitman. Spider would get killed. And he knows it
Sadly all that is conjecture and means nothing. They have to fight to see who is better.
Silva is the best p4p until Jones has defended the title just as much as Silva has done. Also Silva is very old now and by the time they ever fight Silva will be out of his prime..
So when did Silva beat Fedor
Never. And at no point did I claim Silva was best of all time either.
No such thing as P4P best title. Pound for pound is all subjective. The only way to prove who is better is for them to fight. Hopefully, that happens one day before Anderson Silva gets too old.
Not going to argue, just saying that Anderson disposed of Vitor in Round 1.
machida ko'd rashad in brutal way and it doesn't mean he is better than jones..no one is as dominant as jbj in mma.
Why would machida KOing rashad make him better the jones? No one is stupid enough to think anything close to that.
U know what even tho I don't like jones at all.I don't think anybody is gonna beat this kid for a long time.props to vitor man,he brought it.man when vitor had jones in that arm bar in the first round,I was screaming at the tv…. John McCarthy get the fuck out of the way..LOL.that was close.
jone jones is d best fighter right now..haters gonna hate
jbj gonna kill all your favorite fighter..more haters to come hahah,,machida and spider is his next meal
You bumped your head brah, Silva would knock Jones out. Unless all of a sudden Bones just decided to change his style and became Chael Sonnen by just charging Anderson and going for the immediate take down.
Actually, That would be his best chance. Hell, I bet Machida will knock Jones out next time. Quit bouncing on Bones sack though,Yeah Jon is good, but he's not unbeatable.
He couldn't finish Rashad, but Lyoto put Rashad to sleep. Silva took out Vitor in the 1st round, so it's all about match ups and sometimes who is just on their game that night.
Every dog has his day. ~Bob'O
yeah its all about match up and jbj is very bad match up for silva,spider knew it
Jon Jones can lick my shnuts! Just cause he won doesn't mean I'm gonna jump on his bandwagon. He was a pussy before the fight and he still is now IMHO!
haterrrrssss!!! grow up kid..hahaha bones the serial killer
bones knows how to duck sonnen. im glad he has nerve damage. serves him right for using bible verses as a punchline. im glad his big-mouth mother is blind too. ha! blind bitch.
As you have a picture of him
yea because he used to be my favorite fighter. i haven't got around to changing it.
@rapid, i agree brother. jon jones is a moron for turning down sonnen fight. hopefully he'll get wiser as he grows older.
ahaha @Douchebag you bandwagon fruitcake. first you're all over his stick and put a picture of him up – then what happened…?! Did he show too much class for yah? make up your mind schiz-o…
Gay Roy Tranny 3000, i did make up my mind. jones is a self-centered, arrogant, bible-quoting fraud. once this became blatantly obvious, i can no longer be a fan of his, regardless of how much i liked him. he uses christianity as a prop.
quick example. jon has Philippians 4:13 tatted across his chest. not surprising, as he often quotes bible verses and claims to be a christian. the problem is, jon has either never actually read Philippians, or he picks and chooses which bible verses he will obey, and which bible verses aren't really suitable or important enough to obey.
had he read Philippians, before he even got to chapter 4 verse 13, he would've stumbled upon Philippians 2:3 "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves."
jon has been very open about his selfish ambition to become the greatest fighter ever. his decision to turn down sonnen was because he was concerned with what was best for him, not the company, the sport or the fans. it's perfectly ok to not be a christian. pretending to be one for PR, however, is not ok.
palhares has d best chance to beat jbj
crap being pulled outta left field now that Belfort has gone down…Palhares? Please. You may as well say Sam Stout or Leon Spinks…..just as ridiculous…
Jones has standards when he fights: they gotta be a current or former champion….
"The Champ Is Here!"
how WWE of you to say "The Champ is Here", I guess after John Cena made that phrase popular everyone uses it. I only know this because my 5 year old loves watching wrestling and John Cena. I just watch it for the divas but on a sidenote yeah Palhares that is total left field name drop
Or maybe, just maybe, that is the title of the Jadakiss song that Jones walked out to when he fought Rashad Evans. You think?
The Champ is here!!!
I though it first came from Bundini Brown when he would yell that about Ali…could be wrong!
You may have a good point there…jones would squeal from his heel hook !
This is a joke right?!?
JBJ would mince him, Palhares got destroyed by Belcher, did you see it, one of the most one sided fights ever. Palhares has leg locks and a haymaker and that's it. You'll never see him in the ring with JBJ. Not in the same weight class or league.
IMO Gus or Machida has the best chance at upsetting Jones at 205lb. I personally think JBJ would beat Silva if they ever meet. I just think his wrestling and ground and pound and size/strength advantage would nullify Silva.
What happened to everyone saying Jones would get ktfo?
There's a difference between hope and prophecy.
Those kicks to Vitor's knees were just effin pansy if you ask me. He was obviously worried about getting ktfo why he resorted to bitch tactics. Not saying they arent legal or effective, it's just a bitch move.
Haters will use any excuse they can. Jones was dominant as usual. Jones > Silva.
Other than when Vitor almost snapped his arm you mean…
not a perfect fight, but a perfect ending for Jones.
oohhh, … belfort ALMOST got the Jones' arm…
Machida almost beat Jones….everything is almost when it comes to Jones…. that's the hope haters hang on to. pathetic.
I must be missing something. Claiming Jon was dominant except for the moment when he was in trouble with the armbar in no way shows hate for Jones or support of Belfort. So I'm not really sure what you're objecting to…
How does a tough and difficult win over a guy who got quickly taken care of in the first round by Silva make Jones better than Silva?
If you're taking Belfort as a reference the logic thing to say would be Silva>Jones.
Besides that I don't see why you're draggin Silva into this storyline, he has nothing to do with this fight.
He needs to step up not down. Silva is 37 and past his prime. jbj needs to move up or JDS (real champion) needs to come down to knock out jbj
What are you talking about no one thought he was guna lose to vitor they just "hoped" he would. Result was exactly the same as everyone knew it would be, except closer.
They "hoped" and said that it would happen. But it didn't. Not even close.
oh it was pretty close! Almost snapped that mafackas arm, almost caught him in a triangle. that's what happens when you get cocky… or when you get cocky in your arse! haha.. fck jon jones.
JBJ still sucks and, i would've really loved to see that arm pop!! i just really think the dude is an asshole.
What I really meant to say is that I am gay and want someone to get into my asshole.
haha wow you're hillarious^
How can you say he sucks? I dislike Bones personality but that doesn't blind me from the fact he's a great fighter, remove those hater glasses they're clouding your judgment
what i mean to say, is jons personality sucks, he's a good fighter obviously weve seen him beat the best, but he still sucks (personality wise) and i would've loved to watch Vitor win with that armbar
How can you say this guy sucks, pers
How can you say he sucks, I don't like Jon Jones as a pers
never said he was a bad fighter, i meant as a person, although i do apologize for not making that clear
When people compare jbj to the spider makes me laugh, anderson silve did not finish a bunch of ledgend's like jbj did, he simply beat guys that had there shot comming, well he did finish vitor and dan but when you compare the talent level on who beat who and finished then, jbj got one up on the spider, but the spider been doing it longer and jbj has much more to prove to be as great as the spider, untill that happens the spider is the best and im a huge jbj fan, and to say jbj has to beat siva to be #1 is like saying, well lets say fedor never lost and was still fighting, thats like saying silva has to fight fedor and beat him to be #1, lets say aldo is starting to creep up on silva as being the best, you guys gonna say aldo has to move up and beat silva to be #1? Who ever wins the longest and beats the best at the end of there fighting careers are the best, fedor is not the best anymore simply cause he lost, so that goes for gsp, silva, aldo , jds and jbj.
A lot of fighters duck middleweight because of the spider. They feel like they have a better chance against GSP or Jones.
just like silva ducking light heavyweight..he just want a leftover in LH division..give him rashad or machida even shogun i dont thiink silva can dominaten that 3 just like what jbj did..love him or hate him jones is the complete fighter right now.
hes been over and fought 2 205ers before and destroyed them
hes destroyed dan
hes destroyed vitor where jbj went 4 rounds with him and had to submit him.
hes beat people in 185 that were naturally 205ers and have since fought at 205.
people say about him going up to fight, why dont they comedown if its so easy to cut and be gangsta and MW?
He's fought two 205ers that aren't even top 10. Wow good job. Lmao. Just like king said he needs to fight Rashad or Shogun. Lyoto probably wouldn't happen because they're friends
You do realize Forrest was top 10 when they fought right?
@life is meh Forrest top 10? xD LOL.
Bones only has the chance to beat legends because he is relatively new to the division. When you've ruled your division for as long as Silva, you're going to be the only legend left. Last option for Silva is LHW and he should go after that belt as soon as possible.
Your comment would make sence but you don't know what your talking about pretty sure Hendo beat Shogun,Silva beat HendoSilva dismantled Vitor,Jones is rehabing a injury from Vitor currently.Machida lost to Shogun again he lost to Hendo,Jones couldnt finish Bonnar Silva will.Bones beat Evans who lost to Machida who lost to Rua who lost to Hendo your laughter is questionable Fedor?WOW His last legitament win was against Mark Hunt.Oh yeah whats the name of the guy that beat Fedor that Silva beat..?And yes to be the man you gotta beat the man an Anderson Silva is the man..The fact that they could meet up at a lightheavyweight makes this subject legitament.And Jones ducked Sonnen Silva beat him twice.Is your statement legitament,don't answer that its a retorical question.

Jones is a polarizing figure for sure. As an older martial artist I can surmise many points to create a negative opinion of "Bones", and create fictitious scenarios as to why he should not be considered in the ranks of P4P greats with much lengthier or storied careers. However, that would not be The Truth. Artists search for Truth. Truth is, no-one has beat him yet, and until he is defeated, he is the top of the food chain. This doesn't mean I have to like him, but I can still respect the man for his skill and accomplishments. As far as Anderson Silva, we'll just have to wait and see… That fight should be epic.
Exactly, these morons take our hate for JBJ the wrong way. We dislike jones, but that doesn't mean he isn't a great fighter, close to the best atm. I haven't watched the fight yet, not paying for it thats for sure, but I'll give it a better watch, heard JBJs arm almost snapped or something? The mystique of JBJ is fade over time, but it sounds impressive if he survived a locked in armbar.
"Take our HATE for JBJ the wrong way???" What a fckn dumbass statement. Hate is hate. What is positive about hate?
"Jones is afraid of Sonnen." "Jones doesn't care about all the othe fighters from the 151 card." "Jones is fake." Pure hate is all that's left when you try to apply logic and reason to such statements and are unable to.
Here's more hate: YOU ARE DUMB. YOU ARE RETARDED. YOU ARE STUPID. THINK OF THIS POST IN CAPITAL LETTERS AS YOU GO ABOUT YOUR DAY, YOU MORON. I KNOW YOU WILL.
Silva is scared to fight jones cause he knows he will get killed
+2 – He wants to fight GSP and not Bones, hmmmm i wonder why?
+3 Silva wants Gsp and little welterweights. Gay as fuck.
+4 jbj is d man
He's scared to fight a guy who took 3 rounds to dispatch an opponent that took him a cool minute with a boot to the face. Quit obsessing about Silva you closet fag, he has nothing to do with this.
Doesn't anyone see that JBJ is supposed to fight at heavyweight ? That he doesn't want to move up in weight to fight bigger guys or guys that are of the same weight and size ? Seriously people. JBJ fighting the other light heavyweights is like Cigano fighting Middleweights.
Y is he suppose to fight HW?
That's a pretty silly comment. Why would Jon Jones want to move up a weight when he can make 205. Listen buddy stop complaining Jones is not the only champion cutting weight. Anderson, Gsp, Benson, Aldo, Dominick and now DJ are all cutting weight to fight smaller guys. Now look at some number 1 contenders Joseph had to cut weight yesterday, Renan, Edgar, Nate, Condit, Bisping/Boetsch/Weidman, and even Rashad have to cut weight. Its a sensible thing to do. If you can cut weight why not fight the smaller guys so you can have a strength advantage. I'm far from a JBJ fan but common to make it seem like he is the only fighting in their appropriate weight division is foolish.
It won't be long before we see jones move up….first of all it looks like he's just getting a bit bigger in each fight like maybe the weight cut is getting tough for him….second if you watched the fight you would've noticed how heavily he was breathing with his mouth open….it's in his family genes to be a big black dude…look at Arthur he's a 320 lb lineman…the weight cut may begin to be tougher for jones as time moves forward…soon he will fight the likes of cigano, cain, and the reem
Oh and another thing. It's funny how when Fedor beats everyone put in front of him he's fighting old washed up fighters that were great and legends in their time but when JBJ does it it's a different story. Machida, Shogun, Belfort…. all these guys are beyond their prime. JBJ is good but he's far being being great.
bitter hahaha.. machida shogun belfort rampage rashad saying that these 4 is beyond their prime is stupid..grow up kid accept the fact that jbj is just a great fighter
Shogun, Belfort and Page are all aging stars now. Definitely not what thy used to be.
Haters gonna hate. He's dominated everyone in his way. 5 former champs in a row in what use to be the most stacked division, until Jones came and cleared it out. The only challenges left for Jones at Lhw besides rematches is Hendo, Gustaffson (maybe), and Glover.
You can call yourself the best when you are actually in the weight class you should be in.
I wanna see Alexander gustafson and bones fight. Two sick strikers. I wonder how bad that arm is hurt. I think vitor put up a good fight. It looked like he gassed out after putting everything into the arm bar.
Yea Vitor looked like he was done after the armbar didn't pan out. Too bad he's too nice of a guy, anyone else woulda ripped Jones arm off in that position, but even Vitor said he let up after he heard it pop. I wish he would have though. But props to Jones for toughing it out and then pounding Belfort out.
You know what is weird if you think about it. Jones said he was waiting for his arm to break because he wasn't going to tap. Ok armbar breaks are really horrid and cause alot of internal damage. He would be out for a while and would of still lost his belt. Yet he wouldn't take a fight with someone on 8 days notice because he could of lost and would be a huge mistake. What kind of logic is that really? I don't know if anyone will agree with me or not.
Also if you look at it when Greg Jackson was walking with Jones and he was holding his arm Jackson had that face like "damn I might have to ol' yeller him if that arms jacked"
never fought in your life.
Dana White himself said Jones was excited for the fight until he spoke to Greg Jackson. I don't know if he was telling the truth, but if that was the case then Jones is putting the blame on himself so that he feels like he is a man who made the decision, but honestly he wasn't the one who made the decision like a man. Greg made it for him.
Well said.
lol @ everyone saying Jones would kill Silva. Let's look at how their fights went against Vitor Belfort……. Silva KO round 1… Jones Submission round FOUR… Silva would obviously outstrike Jones and wouldnt be a pussy to strike like Vitor was this fight. We ALL knew Vitor would lose because he was not the aggressive fighter we know him to be.. Silva isnt scared of anyone, quit your bitching.
Silva is scared hence why he won't fight Jones. Anderson got lucky to nigga foot Vitor, if they fought again it'd be a whole different story
stfu with that shit. Silva is the GOAT; quit crying and deal with it.
Christ I'm surprised you could type that utterly retarded comment with Silvas balls down your esophagus.
the fight with victor belfort shows that jbj has a weakness and that going for the long limbs. i bet he is going to be beat with in his next couple fights. someone need to bring the fight to him.
Lets forget the main event for a second here and talk about the "big" story which is the number one contender at Anderson's crown. Michael Bisping ….. Right? This baffles me. Watching Bisping fight stan its clear to see they were very equally matched and we all know Stans atleast 3 huge wins away from ever even smelling a title shot. So in my mind Bispings still gotta beat a legit contender himself. Weidman, Vitor, Chael, Okami, Botsch and Belcher are all ahead of him. I see how they have arranged the fighters to best give Michael the shot but we the ppl wanting to see him get Hendersoned again is not reason enough to " hook a brother up" and give him a shot.
Um, Vitor and Chael both got destroyed by Silva. they are not ahead of Bisping. Weidman beat an overweight Munoz and now people claim he's #1 contender? Let him fight Bisping for the shot at the title.
Vitor Belfort was horrible last night. He wasn't aggressive like he SHOULD have been. He pulled guard 3 times only to get Ground n pounded with elbows. He fought like a dumbass and deserved to lose. Doesn;t mean Jon Jones is better than Anderson Silva… nobody is better than Anderson Silva.
..except Jon Jones…
yeah..if you were going to analyze spider and jbj skills jones had a huge advantage coz of his wrestling and ground game which is spider weakness..
Jones reach > Silvas reach
Jones wrestling > Silvas wrestling
Jones ground game > Silvas ground game.
The only place I see Silva having an advantage is the Muai Thai clinch, which still isn't an advantage because Jones would Greco throw Silvas ass into next week.
Ok asshole ^^^^you are the only one that doesn't realize that he moved up to fight not just a Light heavy but the champ of the division. You are a stupid mother fucker. John Bones is not my favorite guy. I think he is an asshole but he will pound Anderson period. Vitor moved up when all your pussy favorites played with themselves. He fought and lost but he fought and got paid. ….dickhead. Good big guy beats good little guy all the time. That is the rule in fighting. Ask around, read a book on it, do something you dummy
You are too invested in fights when you feel the need to attack someone over an opinion. And if you had been watching mma for long enough you would realize vitor looked hesitant, timid and non agressive. Everyone think jbj is unbeatable but not one person has come in and ACTUALLY fought him yet
Jones should move to heavyweight and fight fighters his own size.
Jds would smash him
It's funny everyone on here is comparing who beat who and would beat who. You can't look at that you need to look at how each fighter matches up with one another. Anderson wont be 5" inches shorter like almost everyone else JBJ has fought. He is faster a better striker by a mile and has fought way better wrestlers than JBJ. But if you won't to look at who fought who and all that BS then it took Anderson about 3 min to do what it took JBJ 4 rounds.
Yaaaa gotta agree with big Papi I didn't c vitor at all beating him besides possibly throwing some punches while in the clinch but figure jones would win
Like I said, "As soon as he wins all of you people talking shit will jump on the wagon." And sure enough, look what happened!
Respect greatness.
jones would get killed if he moved up,, if u take away jones reach he would of got knocked out by now!!!! Moving upto heavyweight isnt smart if i was jones id stay at 205,, he wont have a very big reach anymore… on average im guessing heavyweight s have a reach of 77 inches+ and in a frame of 6″2+ means jones wont have as much ability to use his reach… I still havent seen jones take a flush 100% power punch yet so im not sure about that chin… very long neck with skinny face and legs dont mix well for taking a bomb to the face
Jones has been speaking of trying his hand at HW for a long time now, Dana was actually against the move. Also, if you look at the caliber of fighters that Jon has faced compared to who Anderson has fought, he's already fought just as many, if not more high caliber fighters. Jon Jones has fought almost entirely against former champions, Ultimate Fighter winners, and top contenders since entering the UFC. After all this time, Silva still hasn't fought Bisping? I think Jones has proved himself to be a viable opponent to Silva. I believe Shogun, Machida, Rampage, Rashad, Bonnar, Matyushenko, Hamill, Bader, and Vera have all been impressive opponents. Aside from Franklin, Hendo, Belfort, Forrest, Okami, and Sonnen who has Silva beat? According to Weidman haters, Maia sucks, and apparently Cote has fallen off. So whose list of victims is more impressive?
Why don't you watch all those fights and see who wins more impressively. It ain't bones. Jones ( a heavyweight) just went 4 rounds with a middleweight. Silva knocked him out in 2 minutes fuckboy.
Because Silva did so great with Maia, Leites, and Sonnen right? Everytime Jones gets in the octagon, he is impressive and dominates. I'd like for you to explain to me how Jones is a heavyweight, but Silva isn't a light heavyweight. Jones and Silva are closer in weight than Silva and GSP. Silva cuts more than Jones does and has fought at light heavyweight, middleweight, and welterweight, Jon has only fought at light heavyweight his entire career. Please explain to me how Jones is heavyweight and Silva isn't. People even say that Jones won't have such a height and reach advantage over Silva as the fighters in the LHW division, isn't that a little funny. I think the fact that Jones has the height and reach advantage really turns Silva off for a superfight, as he is always the longer fighter. Also, Bones has amazing wrestling, and unlike Sonnen, when he puts people down he does damage.
+1 Saber. Very well said.
I have to drop some knowledge, since apparently I'm a ****boy. People that hate Jones yet love Silva are the ones that hate Jones because he destroyed their favorite fighters, not because of the DWI or the way his confidence comes off.
Belfort was NOT a MW last night, you turd. His fighting weight was reported to be 225 after the rehydration. dufus..
Look at how but hurt u guys are. Gotta defend your bandwagon. Everyone of you know that silva would do jones just like Forrest. Jon jones no can defend.
I'm disapointed, I really wanted vitor 2 win. But I give credit where credit is due. Jones fought well and made it thru the armbar. I've always said jones is a talented fighter, but I still don't like him as a person his personality just gets on my nerves, but he did win the fight so congrats 2 him and his fans. I still don't like him tho!
Jones proves himself again and people are still unsure… LMAO Are you non fighting idoits serious. You don't have to like him but the man is the truth. No one will beat him in Light heavy like no one will beat the spider. Come on if you have never fought and have no experience kill yourself,
Exactly EJ! They try to pick at the most miniscule shit and it makes them look completely ignorant in the process. You can't have decent conversation when it comes to Bones. How can you call yourself a MMA fan yet hate on the best thing MMA has to offer, I don't get it nor do I care to hear a explanation. But on a more positive note I'm glad Bones had to go through some adversity last night.
First off if silva wasn't in middle w there would have been different champs in mw and he would have beat them, silva came wen UFC started to get big and he won the belt and kept the belt so not that much of a chance to fight former champs in mw, next silva could make ww if he wanted but he stays at middle w, silva getn older so it would be kinda hard for him to fight someone younger and bigger than him, silva doesn't have shity ground he has shity takedown defense , wen he's taken down he don't take damage and he submits people!
Jones is just a freak of human anatomy. There will be a great celebration heard around the world when he loses.
All the champions in the UFC are too big for there division silva at middle should be fighting at light heavy ,bones should be in heavyweight gsp should be in middleweight look at all of the champs that's why they are soo dominant at there division cutting 15 or so pounds just to be in that division after weigh ins they gain most of it back how is that fair weighing in at 205 and then coming into the fight at 217 while all the guys that belong in there division come in at the exact weight bullshit!!!!
are you new to this sport? every fighter cuts around 15 pounds usually more and they always come into the fight weighing around 10 pounds more than what they weighed in at i dont think any 205er fights at 205 with the exception of a few people no one fights at what they weigh in at…
Boring ass card not intresting at all
john is not the best he is a boring ass fighter
I hope that Rogan will finally stop referring to Vitor as a " berserker". Vitor was patient, tentative, and understandably cautious..
The exact opposite of a "berserker". Not that going berserk would necessarily have made a difference. There's just as much chance of getting ktfo as there is of landing a wild haymaker. Just ask Wanderlei.
Makes me wanna stop wearing Nike trainers. Jones is a great fighter but as far as his self proclaimed "greatest fighter of all time" , his legacy is gonna be ,biggest self important , douche . Now I'm off to buy some addidas
Dude no matter what y'all jbj lovers say u know deep down he's just true hw who makes lhw very well screw the silva fight I just want to so Jon fight someone close to his size once then ill stop "hating" I mean vitor looked so little under him like everyone else he fights its not entertaining to watch bully fighting just saying it is impressive what he does but to be the goat u gotta show me more than ur just bigger stronger faster than everyone where's the grinding elbows all over guys clearly under sized compared to you just saying
Completely disagree with your assessment of Vitor looking "so little" under JBJ. They were the same size, based on their WEIGHT. The fact that JBJ is taller may give him an advantage, but that doesn't mean he was "bigger". Vitor's arms, shoulders, traps and chest were way bigger than Jones. What Vitor lacked in height and length, he made up for in muscle. My only point here is that credit shouldn't be taken away from Jones on the basis that he was so much bigger. Taller yes, bigger no.
jbj is an asshole, Vitor did fight hard. That guy was just way bigger and that's how it goes. Anderson will get beat up by jones too. That's just the facts. Get over it and move on.
If JBJ were to try and move to heavyweight, I really think he would have a fighting chance against JDS, but as far as winning goes, no way. Jones already stated it himself that he knows Vitor is the stronger puncher, but that JDS tho, talk about one hit quit status man! he'd knock that ass out, but this is mixed martial arts and junior does have a solid, so it remains to be seen. and as far as a fight with Silva would be concerned I think JBJ would have it, yeah, yeah, let the hate come in, but Jones is a very young and versatile fighter and is only getting better with these up and coming fights. On another note, only fighter I see being able to move up a weight class and winning a title at this moment, is none other than Scarface, himself, Jose Aldo. ^__^
This is the ultimate rhetorical question without an answer. There is no best of all time it will always be disputable. I think silva will gain more credibility when he beats the 3rd best of all time in gsp. Listen…gsp is twice the wrestler as sonnen with ten times better standup. And though smaller he's a brick shithouse. Arguably as strong as sonnen. Let's get xcited for this superfight …it will be as good as any fight in ufc history
Agree,except for 1 thing. He's not "as strong" as Sonnen. He's way stronger. The guy does chin-ups with a 100lb dumbbell hanging from his waist. That's off-the-chart strong.
I know sonne lost but he showed Anderson isn't super human I think gsp can lay n pray to victory
Since everyone is dragging Silva into this fight I'll give my 2 cents about that subject.
I wouldn't be surprised if Anderson is going to fight Jones. I know he said he wouldn't before, but I have a feeling DW and the Fertita's told him it wasn't going to happen because Jones was their posterboy at the time.
Things have changed in the meantime, so I think they're alright with Silva knocking some sense and humbleness into Jones now.
By the way, anyone noticed DW didn't put the belt around Jones' waist?
you missed …. that they had a contest winner putting the belt around Jones.
thnx for the update, i did not know that.
But this is "by coincidence" the first time they put on this contest. Dana is behaving like a spoiled child
Jones have to fight guys he's own size
He is like s Bully in that division and he knows that
Why is everyone so adamant about this fighting someone his own size? I think jbj is an arrogant dude and would love to see him get knocked around. But…against the best fighters in the world, why would one not use every legal advantage in a fight?!? i.e. being a size & reach nightmare for your opponents
Btw Belfort could have broke jones arm but didnt because he didnt want to hurt him so keep that in mind. Another inch on that armbar and he would have been done.
If that's true I bet Belfort felt pretty stupid when Jones tried to split his skull with numerous elbows after he got out of the armbar. He should have snapped it, it was up to Jones to tap before the snap.
Yea i totally agree with you. I dont know why he didnt snap it. He def would have made history and ufc hall of fame.
Spider vitor wins in the first round!
Jones as well as the fans should be very thankfull to Vitor.
He reminded us about what this fighting business is all about : showing up with determination and not hesitating to try and implement winning strategies, even if it is pulling guard against Jones and his killing elbows.
Fck Jon Jones. The majority of his opponents are passed their primes. The only one I will always respect is BJ Penn! The only non brazillian who won the world jiu jitsu championship (black belt devision), held two belts in lightweight and welterweight and also faught in lightheavyweight! BJ truly lives by his motto, Just Scrap! Never ducked a fight, will fight anyone! haha… jbonesjones… get the fck outa here
People have have officially run out of trash to talk…lol.. just accept the fact that JBJ is a beast in the cage….hate him all you want just leave you silly straw man theories at home…

Posts Tagged "Oakland"
Get your hands dirty
A new month, another skate spot getting torn down. Last week, California transportation agency / douche bag collective, Caltrans, moved forward with their aggressive plans to level any and all illegal DIY skate parks built under Oakland's highways and bridges. On Thursday, they leveled The Spot, crushing its young life beneath merciless tire treads. In their words, they want to reclaim the space for billboard advertising… since so many people see billboards when they're under the highway… right.
Caltrans' crusade continues this week as their bulldozers loom over Bordertown, Oakland's remaining concrete baby-adult playpen. In a last ditch effort to save the park, Bay Area skaters are amassing at Bordertown at 8 AM this Friday to protest the demolition and, more than likely, get arrested for trespassing. Hey, if you can't make a change, at least you can still make a stink.
While we're on the topic of DIY spots, the guys from 510 Skateshop, who happen to be the industrious little miscreants behind the late and great Spot, haven't let Caltrans' bullying discourage their work. The shop entered Spitfire and Vans' DIY skate spot contest, which is not only a good idea for the local community, but also for the Internet community looking for some skateboarding to watch on a Thursday afternoon. Anyway, their latest creation is just as illegal as ever, and looks to capture the perfect balance between super fun and super gnarly, too — but that's hardly a surprise given these guys' reputation.
Considering all the hard time and potential jail time this crew has put in for Oakland's skateboarders, the least you could do is head over to the Vans/Spitfire site and vote for them. Maybe get inspired while you're at it — DIY projects like these show you what's realistic and achievable if enough dedicated people put the work in. Stop complaining about how boring your city is to skate and start doing something about it, instead. Hell, you'll be less bored already.
Skated and Destroyed
It just wouldn't be a week in skateboarding news without a famous spot getting bulldozed to make way for an infinitely-stagnant construction site. In turn, Caltrans, a California transportation agency comprised primarily of dickheads and fun-haters, has launched a crusade against the Bay Area's DIY skate spots. On Tuesday, workers posted a notice of encroachment on Oakland's illegal skater-built nirvana, The Spot. By Thursday afternoon, it was rubble.
Following desperate pleas and petitions from local skaters to save The Spot, Caltrans proposed the city of Oakland lease the location for $5000 a month, a fairly reasonable offer, if by "reasonable" you actually mean "greedy and insincere." $5000 a month for an empty lot under the freeway that developers aren't even interested in. In fact, there are no concrete plans (ugh, no pun intended) for the space post-demolition, though Caltrans is reportedly in negotiations with a billboard company to "maybe use some of the land." $5000 a month for some real estate in such hot demand that Caltrans might put a billboard there. But still, those nasty skateboarders! They had to go today, at 8 AM sharp no less.
Before and after photos courtesy of Slap Magazine.
Caltrans' spokesperson / professional buzzkill, Bob Haus cites "homelessness issues" as part of the problem. Correct me if I'm wrong, but DIY skate parks tend to turn derelict areas where homeless people often congregate and set trash cans on fire into an active, community gathering place for skateboarders, who, generally, make the place an undesirable campground for the homeless to nod off or take shits at. You need some privacy for that kind of filth, nah'mean? Perhaps the homelessness issue in question was not the fact that it would attract bums, but instead, that The Spot pushed them out and as a result, the city of Oakland was experiencing a spillover of vagrants into areas where white voters might see them. Or, who knows, maybe Caltrans just mistook the skateboarders for homeless people. Fuck, I'm a skateboarder and even I sometimes mistake skateboarders for homeless people.
Nonetheless, skaters in the Bay Area will be more metaphorically homeless than ever after this latest blow to the local scene. Adding insult to injury, or perhaps just more injury to injury, Caltrans is on a warpath when it comes to DIY skate spots. Reportedly, Oakland's other community-built park, Bordertown, is scheduled for demolition next. A coalition of local politicians and skaters were able to keep Caltrans at bay back in 2005 when they first tried to destroy Bordertown, and now it seems they're hellbent on getting even.
It's very disheartening to see such an incredible spot, that took over two years of committed work, refinement and upkeep, demolished in a matter of hours. Rest in pieces, as they say.
Unfortunately, it looks like Caltran's negatrons have brutally defeated the optimism and hardwork of Oakland's good-natured skatebots, but remember this my brothers — this was only one battle in our own war against the machines. We may not win in the end, but we can make things extremely inconvenient for all those bureaucratic douche bags, at the very least. Keep building, and keep skating.
Do you like to do it yourself?
Deluxe has been running its DLXMAS web feature for the entire month of December, posting a new tidbit of skateboarding detritus every day through Christmas. While unveiling the entire Real video, online, for free on Christmas morning would be an incredible payoff for the wait, somehow I think that a new trailer is probably the most we can hope to get in our stockings this year.
Nonetheless, a few days ago they posted a video of the Real team's recent visit to Oakland's DIY spot under the bridge, which we've previously covered in some detail. That little concrete mecca is looking better all the time, but that might also just be due to the fact that everything sunny and fun looks better when it's 25 degrees in New York.
Speaking of 25 degrees… in my experience, Deluxe boards tend to take a little more abuse than some other reputable skate brands I've experimented with over the years. Whether or not this is true or simply personal preference codified will probably remain a mystery until the end of my skateable days, but what I can say with some certainty is that once temperatures get below freezing, a deck from Deluxe Distribution gets brittle and cracks just as easily as any other. If they could devise some new skateboarding technology that could withstand the bitter extremes of the East Coast and Midwest winters, now that would be almost as good as the Real video is going to be1.
1Hopefully I didn't curse the whole production right there, but I feel like even the most negative vibes emanating from this corner of the Internet are completely deflected by several minutes of new Dennis Busenitz footage. If you have your doubts about that, maybe watch that web clip again.
Skate and Create
As I get older, it seems as if I'm quickly transitioning (tee hee) into a park skater. It sort of just happens, you start skating parks more often because you have more fun there than getting broke off at a haggard street spot in between waiting for pedestrians, traffic, angry dogs who are hungry for skateboarders, the list goes on ad nauseam. Then, one day, you realize you skate parks more often than anything else, and the only one who can avoid the inevitable "park skater" label is your own denial. It's cool, mang. If Mike Carroll can do it, it can't be that lame.
However, there is much to be said for the raw appeal of street skating at its purest, but perhaps the most personally rewarding is the fusion of raw street and sterile park. Take this video of the Bay Area locals' new creation in Oakland for example — you'd be hard pressed to argue this isn't some kickass skateboarding, and obviously anything "home-made" by skaters, for skaters earns major bonus points. So here are some more skate park shenanigans, but this time we get a look into the DIY nirvana under the bridge courtesy of Anti-Hero's resident belligerent drunk, Tony Miorana.
It'll be interesting to see how this little shit hole (and I mean that in the best possible way) develops over time. If the city doesn't come in and fuck everything with the long dick of John Deere, this could be the next Burnside or Washington Street in a few years. Even so, the guys have already more than earned their keep. Not sure what the guy who coffin grinded the rainbow earned… other than my respect and a few bruised vertebrae
Drinkin' out the 40 bottle, livin' outdoors
Let's just come out and say it. When I think about Oakland rap, I touch myself. Look at it this way… they've got MC Hammer. Does anything more even need to be said?
Seriously though, between Del, Souls of Mischief, and my newest Oaksterdam darling, Blackalicious, the city's pretty much got alternative hip hop zipped up. If you've somehow made it this far in life and are still under the impression that hip hop isn't your thing, I would encourage you to check out the sweet sounds of the underground. This might seem hard to believe at first, but… it's not all about money, cars and clothes. Or killing people. Although sometimes still about that.
Listen, I wore a leather jacket with spikes in it for years. And now I hate music white people make! If I could make the change, anyone can.Blackalicious - Deception
An associate of mine recently tipped me off about Blackalicious — a duo made up of rapper Gift of Gab and DJ Chief Xcel. They're almost a perfect hybrid of Jurassic 5 and the Hieroglyphics, along with plenty of their own creative quirks to set them apart. Absolutely worth checking out.

Prostitution arrest raises concerns about D.C. police transgender treatment
- D.C. police questioned on prostitution arrest (file photo).
On Friday, Sept. 24, D.C. police conducted an undercover sting operation inside Woodley Park's Marriott Wardman Park hotel. Police arrested six people on charges of solicitation of prostitution that night—one of them a transgender woman.
Following the arrest, local trans advocate Ruby Corado says she received reports that the woman had been unfairly targeted based on her gender identity, and that she was later placed in a cell with men. Both allegations are violations of the police department's regulations on interacting with trans citizens. "Similar to most weeks, the DCTC received complaints involving police harassment and profiling related to this sting," Corado's advocacy group, the DC Trans Coalition, announced in a press release following the arrests. "Many of these reports come from transgender, transsexual or gender-non-conforming individuals, especially trans women of color, who were involved in, or believed to be involved in, sex work."
D.C. has some of the most progressive police protections for gender identity in the country—when officers follow them. According to D.C. police regulations, officers are barred from using "demeaning" language about a person's gender identity. They're required to "treat transgender persons in a manner appropriate to the individual's gender presentation," including referring to them by their preferred names and gender pronouns, and housing them in cells according to their gender identity and expression, regardless of their physical status. And they're prohibited from using a person's gender identity as "reasonable suspicion or prima facie evidence that an individual is or has engaged in prostitution or any other crime."
According to assistant chief Diane Groomes, members of D.C.'s Prostitution Enforcement Unit followed those regulations to the letter last month. "At this time MPD personnel involved followed the appropriate protocol in regards to the processing of said defendant," Groomes wrote on a department listserv, before urging any recipient of police harassment to file an official complaint. Corado disagrees with that assessment, and an incident report reveals one detail of the trans woman's arrest that was against regulation—the report codes her sex as "male" instead of "female."
But concerns about police arrests of trans women go beyond the question of respect. To DCTC's Sadie-Ryanne Baker, simply enforcing solicitation laws has a disproportionate affect on trans women. "The criminalization of sex work and the police's individualized bias against trans people feed each other," Baker says. Due to widespread discrimination against trans people, some trans women seek out sex work as a means of survival. A solicitation arrest further complicates future legal job searches. And trans women who aren't sex workers are oftentimes assumed to be soliciting anyway. Criminalizing sex work places police and trans people—sex worker or no—in conflict, where discrimination against sex workers and trans women compound on each other.
As a trans advocate, Baker says she receives regular updates on that conflict, from the "assumption that everyone is a sex worker" for simply being outside or possessing condoms, to police making demeaning comments related to a person's gender identity. ("Those are nice boobs—where did you get those?" is a recent police comment reported to Baker.) The general order meant to eliminate that sort of treatment went into effect nearly three years ago. "We've been fighting this for so long," Corado says. "What is it going to take for them to eventually follow their own policies?"

Fourth-Place Medal
Boston out of running for 2024 Summer Olympic Games bidJay Busbee at Fourth-Place Medal3 days ago
The city of Boston is no longer a candidate to host the 2024 Olympic Games.
Boston had been the United States' selection in the ongoing bidding process for the 2024 Summer Olympics, but on Monday, Boston's mayor threw the brakes on the city's bid plans. Soon afterward, the United States Olympic Committee announced it is ending its bid to bring the Games to the city.
Boston mayor Marty Walsh had said he cannot automatically commit to signing the host city bid should Boston win the right to host the Games. Walsh expressed concern about a provision which requires the host city to cover any cost overruns, a requirement which could prove financially burdensome to Boston.
"I cannot commit to putting the taxpayers at risk," Walsh said in a Monday morning press conference. While Boston's Olympic organizing group had pledged an insurance policy would cover cost overruns, Walsh said his office has been unable to conclude whether such a policy would be feasible and would sufficiently protect the city.
New events added to 2018 Winter OlympicsDanielle Elliot at Fourth-Place Medal1 mth ago
Four events will premier at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The International Olympic Committee announced Monday that snowboard big air, mixed doubles curling, mass start long-track speed skating, and an alpine skiing team event will make their debut.
It will be the first time that there are 100 medal events at a Winter Olympics, according to NBC. The total is now 102. The alpine skiing team event and mixed doubles curling bring the co-ed event total to seven.
The IOC also voted to remove snowboard parallel slalom, which was competed for the first time at the Sochi Olympics.
Big air snowboarding will bring a lot of tricks to the Olympics, with snowboarders completing tricks similar to those in slopestyle. While only men compete in snowboarding big air at the X Games, it has been approved for men and women to compete in Pyeongchang.
Phelps has worst performance since 2000, calls it 'garbage'Danielle Elliot at Fourth-Place Medal2 mths ago
Michael Phelps turned in his worst performance since the 2000 Olympics over the weekend. He placed third, seventh, ninth, ninth, and 11th in his five events at a Pro Swim Series stop in Charlotte, North Carolina.
According to NBC, it was the first time Phelps has not placed first or second in any events at a single meet since the 2000 Olympics. Failing to make the final heats in the 100m free or 200m individual medley, he told media at the event that he missed swimming against his usual rivals.
"What I want most is to be racing the competition I need to be racing," Phelps said. "Not taking away anything from the B heat, but I want to race Ryan [Lochte] and those guys."
Phelps said he was frustrated, that he felt like his legs weren't connected to his upper body, his dolphin kicks were "horrendous," his freestyle stroke was "pretty garbage" and that he had to reassess "a bunch of stuff."
Mao Asada announces comebackDanielle Elliot at Fourth-Place Medal2 mths ago
After a year off from competition, three-time world champion Mao Asada announced Monday morning that she's coming back to the sport.
''As time passed, I realized that I missed competing and wanted the sense of fulfillment again,'' she said. ''I'm practicing every day to get back into competitive form again.''
The Japanese skater captured silver in Vancouver in 2010. She finished sixth in Sochi.
Asada would have been the heavy favorite in 2006. Only 15 years old at the time, though, she missed the Olympic age cut-off by less than a month. By 2010 there was no stopping South Korea's Kim Yuna, who won in Vancouver by a margin of more than 20 points.
Despite the final score, Asada remains the only woman to land three triple-axels in a single competition.At the 2014 World Championships, she set a new world record for ladies' short program score.
Asada, 24, said she hasn't yet thought about the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Prepare to cringe: Bryan Clay uses javelin skills in new wayDanielle Elliot at Fourth-Place Medal2 mths ago
When your dad's an Olympic gold medalist, nothing is typical. Not even the simple act of pulling out a loose tooth.
Former decathlete Bryan Clay, who gold in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, made sure daughter Ellie will never forget losing her tooth. He tied one end of a string to a javelin, the other to her tooth. The rest is fairily self explanatory.
If you're squemish, maybe don't watch this video. Ellie looks slightly terrified at first, but then she smiles and say "bye" to the tooth.
The best part is that Ellie didn't even seem to feel it. After her dad tossed it, her mom asks if it came out.
"It did!" she says, seeming just as surprised as everyone else as she touches her finger to the gap where her tooth used to be.
Like everything posted online, the video drew some criticism.
There's controversy over how @bryanclay pulling his daughters tooth with a javelin? He didn't force her! She was ok with it! Stop trippin!
Sydney's iconic harbor rings from 2000 Games sell for $17,000Jay Busbee at Fourth-Place Medal2 mths ago
So here's a one-of-a-kind Olympic collectible: the gargantuan Olympic rings that hung from the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia during the 2000 Games have just sold for about $17,000.
Measuring, when assembled, 229 feet by 131 feet and weighing about 55 tons, the rings had been languishing in 40 pieces in a warehouse near Sydney for the last 15 years. The warehouse's new owner found the rings, abandoned and apparently forgotten, once he bought the property.
He listed the rings on ebay and attracted 17 bids, topping out at $17,000. The winning buyer "was having a bit of a chuckle and wasn't too sure what he was going to do,"said Bernard Maas, owner of the warehouse. This sounds like it could be the mother of all "what the heck, let's see what happens" ebay bids. Those rings would look great stacked around someone's house, right?
Australia is considering another bid for the Summer Games in 2028, with Queensland a possible hosting destination.
Report: IOC strips U.S. relay team of 2012 silver medalDanielle Elliot at Fourth-Place Medal2 mths ago
The entire U.S. men's 4x100m relay team is being stripped of its 2012 Olympic silver medal, the Associated Press reports.
Team member Tyson Gay, who ran the third leg of the relay, failed drug tests in the summer of 2013. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency later said Gay first used a prohibited substance on July 15, 2012, less than three weeks before the start of the London Games.
All of Gay's results from London were disqualified, as well as those from other events, and he was suspended until July 2014. Gay holds the record for the fastest 100m by an American, clocking in at 9.69 records. He competed in the Beijing Olympics but did not win an invididual medal, his performance hampered by a hamstring injury.
Gay turned in his silver medal for the relay to the U.S. Olympic Committee last year. Now, Trell Kimmons, Justin Gatlin, Ryan Bailey, Jeff Demps (the former NFL running back), and Doc Patton will have to do the same. Six medals were awarded because Demps and Patton ran in a preliminary heat.
Nastia Liukin named Indy 500 Grand MarshalDanielle Elliot at Fourth-Place Medal2 mths ago
Keeping track of 2008 Olympic gymnastics all-around champion Nastia Liukin is turning into an Olympic sport all its own.
Indy 500 officials have announced that Liukin will be the grand marshal at this year's race, scheduled for May 24.
The five-time medalist is also currently in the final six on "Dancing with the Stars," and finishing up her junior year at New York University. Oh, and she's an NBC Olympics analyst. Does she ever sleep?
At the Indy 500, Liukin will be part of the Snake Pit Ball on May 23. On race day, she'll kick things off with a parade loop around the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval and be introduced to the crowd.
"I have very fond memories of competing and performing in Indianapolis, and I will actually be back again in August for the P&G Gymnastics Championships," Liukin told the Indianapolis Star "I'm really honored to be the Grand Marshal for this year's Indianapolis 500. It will be so exciting to witness 'The Greatest Spectacle in Racing' - I can't wait!"
Charlie White and Tanith Belbin tie the knotDanielle Elliot at Fourth-Place Medal3 mths ago
With their ice dance partners looking on, Olympic medalists Charlie White and Tanith Belbin tied the knot on Saturday night.
Had a wonderful time capturing the great moments from @TanithJLB and @CharlieaWhite wedding this past Saturday. pic.twitter.com/7am3io1D6a
White and partner Meryl Davis captured the gold medal in 2014 and silver in 2010. They were the first Americans to win gold in Olympic ice dancing. Belbin captured silver with partner Ben Agosto in 2006, at the time the first American pair to medal in 30 years.
Both couples trained in Detroit, Michigan. They knew each other for more than a decade before White, 27, and Belbin, 30, started dating in 2009.
"She was the most beautiful girl at the rink," White told People. "I think probably every guy had a crush on her."
They married in front of about 130 family and friends, with Davis and fellow former ice dancer Lauren Fenft in the bridal party.
Phelps will likely head to new training facility soonDanielle Elliot at Fourth-Place Medal3 mths ago
Michael Phelps' long-time coach, Bob Bowman, just accepted the job as head coach of the Arizona State swimming team, Swimming World reports.
It's exciting news for the ASU swimmers, considering Bowman is the man who helped prep Phelps for his 22 Olympic-medal-winning performances, including 18 golds.
It also means Phelps will most likely be moving to Tempe, Ariz., to train for the Rio Olympics, just as he moved to Michigan to train while Bowman was the head coach at Michigan State between the 2004 and 2008 Olympics.
For the majority of their partnership, Bowman has coached Phelps and others, including five-time Olympic medalist Allison Schmitt near, Phelps' hometown of Baltimore, Maryland.
Phelps has continued to train with Bowman throughout the swimmer's six-month suspension from USA Swimming. He was suspended in October for violating the organization's code of conduct for being pulled over while driving under the influence. At the time, he agreed to enter a six-week treatment program.

From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
This year, the federal government gave billions of dollars of stimulus money to medical providers to help speed up their use of electronic health records. The idea is for doctors to coordinate care better so that patients can see their charts online, and to allow clinics to grade their doctors.
Oregon is ahead of the curve. Sixty-five percent of clinicians have electronic medical records, compared to about 45 percent nationwide.

The Obama administration is floating the idea of increasing taxes on families earning more than $250,000 a year.
Last year, the state of Oregon did something similar.
It didn't generate quite as much money as expected — but it did generate plenty of resentment.

This question gets asked a lot. Usually it happens after someone receives their annual maintenance fee bill from Whyndham. It is never a bad idea to try and sell your timeshare back to the company you purchased it from, but in most cases you are going to have little luck in the process. And here is why…
Why can't you sell your timeshare back to Wyndham?
It comes down to dollars and cents. You have a contract that obligates you to pay a maintenance fee indefinitely. Most times, timeshare facilities don't make their money of the initial sale of the property. In reality, a large portion of that sale fee goes to the sales staff that generates the sale and to cover the cost of marketing. Where they make their money is in the endless annual maintenance fees. They are not in a hurry to give those up.
If you are property is in a highly sought after area like Orlando, Fl. near Disney, you may have better luck. Often times these properties are more open to taking back properties that they know will be easy to resell when because the property is already sold out. This is more of the exception than the rule.
My best advice is this… call up Wyndham right now and check. And when you (chances are that you will) get a "NO… we won't take it back" reply, it's time to take the more reliable route…
If you are not interested in selling your timeshare directly to another 3rd party wishing to buy, your best bet is to use a third party timeshare group. These are companies that take title of your property directly instead of claiming to help you sell it to another person. When they have enough of them, the larger companies like Wyndham will take them back in bulk. The odd's of Wyndham being interested in your single timeshare low. These companies basically specialize in all the pain staking tasks required to transfer timeshare title and ownership.
Is there a fee to use one of these companies to sell? My timeshare is worth money right…?
The answer is that it depends. Sometimes they will offer the service at no cost if the property does actually have some value, but in most cases you are going to have to spend a little money for the convenience of not having to go thru the hassle of dealing with title transfer, legal services, and the myriad of other issues that arise when trying to exit a Wyndham timeshare property or any other property.
How do you know if using a paid service makes sense?
It is really a time & money thing. How much is your time worth? On average, attempting to sell a timeshare yourself will take you between 150-300 hours of effort after all said and done. Remember the last time your sold a house? Remember how much of an effort that was. A Timeshare sale is similar if not more complicated and most real estate agents don't know the nuances required to make sure that you are protected and are no longer legally obligated to pay maitenance fees.
Think about how much money you make working 150-300 hours and then decided whether it makes sense to at least talk to a 3rd party assistance service, you can always decide later after you have all the information. We have several listed on our website that have good reputation in the industry. Each is a little different and has their own benefit, but they are a great place to start your search for an exit solution from a Wyndham timeshare or any other.

Create an Eco-Smart Kitchen
Out With the Old
To improve the flow in the cooking center, the couple repositioned cabinet units. Then, they extended the countertop across the window, creating an eating area and prep zone.
In With the New
The re-vamped layout keeps all the essentials--the Maytag electric range and microwave, the KitchenAid mixer, and the classic Waring blender--in one compact corner.
Getting the Look
Schoolhouse Electric's reproduction lighting fixtures, vintage-style Ikea pot rack, and subway tiles from Home Depot make for an effect that's country, but crisp.
Making It Green
The couple wanted to incorporate eco- friendly materials in their new kitchen and did so by installing cork flooring and using low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paint.
Creativity Counts: By rearranging and painting the "solid but ugly" cabinets, replacing tired surfaces, and installing new appliances, the owners of this Connecticut kitchen created a bright efficient space--on a budget, and with no demolition.
Pictured here, the kitchen before the makeover.

PRESTONSBURG -- Only four days removed from one of the worst school shootings in U.S. history, two Prestonsburg teens are facing charges of terroristic threatening after making threats against fellow students in school.
Prestonsburg Police Chief Michael Ormerod says officials got information Saturday night that there might be a threat of violence against Prestonsburg High School.
"Sunday, officers interviewed several people, and an investigation was started," said Ormerod. Superintendent Henry Webb, PHS principal Jerry Butcher, Mayor Jerry Fannin, and several others were interviewed as part of the investigation.
Ormerod says that through the interviews, police felt like they had enough indication that there was a credible threat against the school. "Late Sunday evening they put him into custody. He was lodged at Breathitt County and charged with second-degree terroristic threatening," Ormerod said.
Ormerod said that the juvenile's home was never searched as part of the investigation, but did indicate that his parents had been cooperative.
Ormerod said another juvenile at the school made threats to several people Monday. That student was charged with third-degree terroristic threatening and also arrested and lodged in Breathitt County Detention Center. Ormerod said the targets of the threats were interviewed, as well as the accused himself. He made a statement that he was going to take some people out at the high school, or some other places, Ormerod said.
According to police, the juvenile in question confirmed what witnesses had told police.
Following the tragic occurrence in Newtown, Conn., Ormerod said any and all threats against students and their schools will be investigated.
"Any indication that we get of a threat of that type, we will investigate, and if warranted we will prosecute. Since it is domestic terrorism, the FBI will also be notified," Ormerod said.
Ormerod said an FBI field agent from Ashland was present during this weekend's investigation.

SWOSU Orchestra Plans October 12 Concert
October 6, 2010
The Southwestern Oklahoma State University Symphony Orchestra, under the leadership of Dr. Robert Chambers, will present their first concert of the fall season this Tuesday, October 12, at 8:15 p.m. in the Fine Arts Center lobby on the Weatherford campus.
The concert is entitled, "All Saint-Saëns," and will showcase various students and faculty from the SWOSU Department of Music. Admission is free, and the public is invited.
Charles Camille Saint-Saëns (born Paris, 1835 and died Algiers, 1921) had a lengthy and productive musical career. A virtuoso pianist and organist, he was a significant figure in promoting French Symphonic music of the 19th century.
The program begins with Marche Militaire Francaise from the "Algerian Suite." This march of a rapid tempo turns to French Army Music for inspiration and ends with a bugle call. Also included is Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso in A Minor, with a violin solo performed by music therapy major Emily Liu. First performed in 1863, it was written for the famous violin virtuoso, Pablo de Sarasate.
The concert will also feature a favorite selection during the Halloween season, Danse Macabre, which opens with the clock striking midnight when all the skeletons come out to dance to death's fiddle,. The violin solo will be performed by Jaymes Kirksey.
Finally, Dr. Sophia Lee, director of the SWOSU music therapy program, will perform the second and third movements of Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor. The concerto was premiered in 1868 by the composer himself with Anton Rubinstein conducting the orchestra.

It makes me sick that this guy was a public servant for that long. It makes me sick that my tax dollars go toward paying someone with as little integrity as this guy seems to have.
Oh, and the gut. JFC. The police force ought to dock pay for overweight employees. Minor gripe, but seriously.
Right on, Daphne. Now is the time to buy in Holyoke. I have seen wasteland cities turn into prosperous places. Holyoke is going to be one of those. Might take a while, 10, 20 years, but it's going to happen.
A step in the right direction!!! Yay!!!
You know you either live in a sad, sad place or you have a sad, sad local newspaper when the restaurant review is of a national chain and the restaurant reviewer clearly has no idea what (real) Tex-Mex "fare" is.
Masslive.com, your transparency is laughable. I can imagine you gleefully browsing your photo file of Maddow, looking for the absolutely worst public image photo you can find.
I'm not anti-Northampton by any means. It's a decent New England town. But to compare it to Berkeley???? It doesn't even resemble a second-rate Berkeley.
Unbelievable that a newly elected government official would have the audacity to even make such an announcement. What about serving the public? I guess if he was going to do that, the voters who voted for him wouldn't have voted for him.
Palin's stupidity is an embarrassment to the United States. If you're not embarrassed, you should be.
waste of money. but it's all a waste of money. all the anti-choice crap. most women couldn't care less what evangelical Christians have to say. seriously.
Gross. He's my least favorite Red Sox player (or, in his case, player alum). He puts out an immature "look-at-me" vibe that is annoying. He would be even more annoying as a politician.
who cares?!?!?
i've made liquor stops in NH. probably half of you reading this have done the same.
I agree, the photo makes no sense, but the Stupidity Award goes to the many commenters who are so friggin' stupid! Why does somebody else getting married threaten you so much?!?!?!? Who the hell cares?!?!? Want to be a better Christian? Want to be a better citizen? Then put the focus on improving your own lives and making life a little more pleasant for the people around you and stop all this hate.
Go Martha!
Stop the stupidity.
He had a $90k salary? That's disgusting. When that's where our tax dollars are going --overpaying public officials with no integrity -- then the harsher the sentence, the better. Good riddance.
Great news!
Wow. All the hate being expressed in these comments. So much unhappiness. Congratulations to all newlyweds everywhere!! Go Massachusetts!!!!
gross. I hope they keep it covered over.
Trade him. He wears too many things around his neck.
yes to Lowe's. I'm all for local businesses thriving and will continue to shop at Highland Hardware but I also don't see many local businesses bringing in the big(ger) $$ this city needs. without that $$, Holyoke will continue to deteriorate. I don't get why people are so concerned about downtown Holyoke disappearing - it "disappeared" a long time ago. Lowe's will attract higher-end home improvement shoppers (they sell higher end stuff than Home Cheapot). Those same shoppers will buy other stuff as well and their presence will provide incentive for other developers/retailers to move in. this city needs growth, not people clinging to a past that came and went long ago.
I love Highland Hardware and will continue to shop there even after Lowe's enters the scene. And I hope Lowe's really does come to Holyoke. It'd be more tax $ for the city, a handful of jobs (some of them would almost certainly go to Holyokers) and more reason for people to come to Holyoke. Business begets business. (Plus doesn't Lowe's have slightly higher end stuff than Home Cheapot? I know I prefer it over the latter but rarely go there because it's so far away.)

Local developer Jeff Albrecht says the announcement that Ohio Governor John Kasich has designated the Norfolk Southern property at Franklin Furnace as the No. 1 potential marketable site along the Ohio River comes and no surprise to him.
"The last time we met with the governor, we discussed that site down there, and it's on the state's website now," Albrecht said. "It finally was put on the state website just last week. There was a lot of information required before it could even go up, and we just finally got all of that together. I think it's a great opportunity for our area."
Albrecht said there is a real enthusiasm for that property coming out of the Governor's office.
"He's (Kasich) real excited about our area," Albrecht said. "Between the river and the two railroads - you've got the C&O on one side of the river, Norfolk Southern on our side of the river - He's just real excited about this area, thinks it's a great opportunity to find something to come here. I think it's great news."
That property has been the center of attention for another potential industry over the last several years, and Albrecht is quick to add, those plans are still potentially able to come to fruition.
"That doesn't mean that New Steel is dead," Albrecht said. "We're still working on that and there's other opportunities for New Steel, or, if the deal from New Steel comes through before the governor would get something concrete, then that would come first."
In recent months the area has been exploring industrial possibilities based on the area's intermodal strengths. In August of 2012, Shawnee State University hosted an Intermodal Conference which produced a plan to map sites for potential growth.
"Through this plan we want to make sure we are following up with some of the actions we had at the conference," then Assistant to the President of SSU, now, Chancellor of the Ohio Board of Regents, John Carey said. "One of the action items was meeting with the commissioners and the mayor about mapping industrial sites throughout the region."
"We have available land, railroads, docks, good access right on the river, it's really perfect," Albrecht said.

Recent news stories, letters-to-the-editor, and public comments have provided residents of the City of Williamsport and customers of the Williamsport Municipal Water Authority (WMWA) and Williamsport Sanitary Authority (WSA) plenty of opportunities to question how and why the Authorities operate in the manner they do. These Authorities provide essential services to the region, but largely go unnoticed from day to day. This is because an expectation exists that when a faucet is turned on, high quality water will come out. When a toilet is flushed or a bathtub is drained, the wastewater will be treated to State and Federal standards. While we take great pride in doing our job without fanfare, an unfortunate side-effect is that negative news articles such as rate increases or main breaks become the primary source of information for most. As a result, opinions may be formed without having the benefit of information such as:
Without knowing the why's and how's of a municipal authority, it can be easy to draw inaccurate conclusions based on assumptions and incorrect information. This article and ones that will follow will hopefully answer these questions, and provide some insight and clarification on how your Authorities best serve the public needs.
The Authorities were created via City Ordinance and Incorporated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1946 (WMWA) and 1952 (WSA). These original documents define the singular purpose of the Authorities as providing for the water and wastewater needs of the City of Williamsport and other service areas. The primary reasons for the creation of Authorities are to separate the operation of highly complex water and wastewater systems from the other responsibilities of local government, to operate these systems outside of the taxing structure of local government, and to separate the operation of the water and wastewater systems from the other local political and financial decisions facing local governments.
Authorities are exempt from taxes because they are a local government entity, created to perform essential municipal functions. Costs to operate and maintain the infrastructure of the systems are reviewed and budgeted annually, and rates are established to pay for these costs only. The recent request for a PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) contrasts sharply with the very reasons the City of Williamsport created the Authorities, and confuses a local government unit with non-profit institutions such as hospitals or colleges, which are not connected in any way with City government. The PILOT, a method to request funding from non-profit institutions, when applied to a local water or wastewater authority simply becomes a transfer of costs between government entities and trades off local taxes for water/sewer rates. Water and sewer rates, established only to create funding for water and wastewater needs, would need to be increased for City customers in order to pay for any contribution or aid to enhance the City's General Fund. The Authorities have no other source of generating revenue other than from their customer base. The cash balances now held by the Authorities are primarily the result of recent bonds issued to pay for plant and collection/distribution system upgrades. The Sanitary Authority alone has close to $80 million in contractual and anticipated costs remaining to be paid on $120 million in State and Federal mandated upgrades to its sewage treatment plants.
While the WMWA and WSA do not believe water or sewer user rates should be increased to pay for a contribution to the City's General Fund, we do believe there are opportunities for the Authorities to work more closely with the City in reducing overall costs and better managing local governmental functions.

The Korean Children's Choir will present the 2014 CCA KIDZ TEAM — Suwon, Korea, Carl Powers Memorial Tour at the Paramount Center for The Arts tonight from 7-9.
The Korean Children's Choir, a ministry of the international media ministry Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC), founded by Dr. Billy Kim, who is often referred to as the "Billy Graham of Asia."
The CCA Kidz Team Korea Children's Choir has delighted audiences around the United States with their beautiful voices, colorful costumes, skilled choreography and traditional Korean dance.
Members of the children's choir are selected through a competitive audition process. The children, ranging in ages from 7 to 13, receive training from a voice trainer, choreographer and conductor. The choir has performed a variety of concerts at churches, cultural centers, theme parks, schools and universities throughout Canada, Australia, Saipan, Guam, Taiwan, Cambodia, Southeast Asia and different parts of Europe.
Kim was born in 1934 to a poor farm family near the end of the Japanese occupation. When the Korean War broke out in June of 1950, his family could not escape, so they endured the hardships of war in Suwon.
Kim was able to get work as a houseboy for the U.S. military, where he met Sgt. Carl Powers, the U.S. Soldier who would change his life forever. Powers helped Kim get to America and financed his education. Kim left Korea at age 17, and Powers enrolled him at the Bob Jones Academy in Greenville, S.C.
"We hope to express our deep appreciation for the American people for what they have done, both missionaries and those in the military," Kim said. "The audience will cry, laugh, rejoice and be blessed from these kids' songs and message. Korea is the second largest missionary sending country in the world, and we hope to encourage the American audience as well as our young people and those hoping to go to the United States for college to consider missions."
Bristol bluegrass band Duty Free will open for the Korean Children's Choir. Duty Free members include, Hal Boyd, Bobby Love, Tim Laughlin and Charlie and Rick Powers, nephews of Carl Powers.
The event is being sponsored by Friendship Hyundai of Bristol and Johnson City.
Admission is free.
For more information, call the Paramount at 274-8920.
