Jack Slack's Film Room: Jones vs Rua

Jack Slack’s Film Room: Jones vs Shogun, Oliveira vs Hioki

While the world is under quarantine and everyone is stuck inside, I thought it might be an idea to record some informal fight commentaries and trickle them out over the coming days (any maybe weeks?)

Today I wanted to take a look at a great little grappling match that no one really remembers—even me, as it turns out—in Charles Oliveira versus Hatsu Hioki. Then we’ll watch through Jon Jones’ title winning performance against Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua, which took place eight years ago this week.

Even moments after recording these I could recall mistakes I had made! Commentating is a tougher gig that I often give it credit for.

If you enjoy these, stick around and we’ll have more in the coming days.
