Ian Beckles, former Tampa Bay Buccaneer and teammate of Marcus Jones, talks to the Las Vegas Sun about "The Darkness":

"He says that MMA is his passion, and I believe him. He loves it. To go out there every day and practice like they do, and for his body to already be beat up and having taken those kinds of beatings, you have to love it. Because he doesn't need the money. That's for sure. Intimidation is hard in football. Some guys that look like Tarzan, play like Jane. But that wasn't his case. He was so strong. I remember being in the weight room, and at the time, I was the strongest guy on the team. I could bench press 500 pounds, and Marcus went in there and bounced 500 pounds off his chest five times. So, he was so much stronger than everybody it was silly. He's definitely a freak of nature. Being a good fighter is great, but you've got to have the personality. I think he has the look, obviously. He's very imposing. When you watch that show, those guys are kind of scared of him. They're scared of his power, and I understand that. I think he's very marketable, because he's got that big teddy bear kind of feel to him, but he can be a beast as well."

 

500 pounds five times -- that's insane especially with his long limbs! With little experience Marcus Jones needs some advantages, how do you feel he will do the rest of the show and will his passion, size and strength be enough? Even if he wins most believe this is the least talented TUF, can he do anything in the UFC heavyweight division?

 As usual Dana exaggerates the situation, a week ago Brock might never be fighting again!?  However it is scary especially for his opponents to realize that Brock has not been 100% in his last two fights, the real question is how much did it effect his performance? Would it be comparable to NOG's staph infection? Brock Lesnars return is going to be exciting below is a comment from his trainer.

On a blog post on Heyman Hustle, Paul Heyman had a message to Shane Carwin

“Brock Lesnar is sick. That’s bad news for no one but Brock Lesnar (and, well, I guess Dana White, too). But Brock Lesnar won’t be sick forever. He’s going to get better. He’s going to get healthy. And he’s going to go back into that Texas Chainsaw Massacre-like existence, training in the middle of the woods in the sub-zero temperatures of Alexandria, Minnesota. Sick today, healthy tomorrow.

And that’s bad news for Shane Carwin.”

Dana also talks in the video about his current relation with Tito, why he spends two hours before the fight talking to fans and on missing his favourite boxer Manny Pacquiao fight.
