Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Dan Henderson pulls out of UFC 151 because of his MCL being torn in his right knee (I think it was his right knee), then Anderson Silva is willing to fight, but it's too late so UFC 151 is completely cancelled, then we find out that at UFC 152 it will be Jones/Machida II, but Machida refuses the fight, so now we get Jones/Belfort????? ***????? What is the UFC's problem???? If Anderson Silva was willing to step up once, then let him do it again at UFC 152!!!! I love Vitor Belfort, but Jones/Silva would be a far better main event than Jones/Belfort. Sorry, but it's true.

Jones won't fight Silva, and the Silva thing was just to save the 151 card.

Isn't it funny that only middleweights are lining up to fight Jones now? Anyway, I really hope that Belfort cleans his clock ,as unlikely as it is.

Jones is a -925 favorite over Belfort in the fight, Belfort is a +625 underdog. I might go award hunting on this one...

I'm reaching quite a bit here but crazy **** happens sometimes. What I don't understand is why would they pull Vitor from the Belcher fight instead of pulling Chael from the Forrest fight I think Chael deserves it more simply because he was down to fight on 8 days notice and apparently noone else wants to fight anymore

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

All these fight changes seem almost surreal.  Why is it that only middleweights are stepping up to fight Jones?  Has the light heavyweight division really become that cowardly?  I used to think it was just Griffin that didn't wanna fight him, guess not..

Also lost some respect for Machida, as I do in most cases like this where a fighter has the time to get ready for a title fight, but chooses not to.  Guess a month isn't enough time?  Nevermind the fact that he's been training in martial arts for over 30 years and has already faced Jones and claims that he can beat him in a rematch.  Lookin' like he's full of **** now.

Never been a big fan of Belfort, but awesome for him taking this fight.  I really hope he cashes in.

This has been the most confusing 2 days!

I think Jones has a huge advantage in this match up but I really just pray to the fight gods that Vitor lands one good shot that puts him on his ass!

How many times is this damn fight gonna change? Lord only knows how long they are gonna have to back pedal now to give Henderson and Machida their shot. Anyways onto my choice Belfort is fast and he is really accurate, but Jones will ultilize his reach and we could very well see a repeat of the Anderson Silva fight, but that would be an insult to Anderson Silva.

Vitor is going to get smashed. Jones will take Vitor down at will and get the GnP stoppage.

I think it's pretty obvious now that Machida is going to 185 though...no other reason for him not to take this.

People can say everything they want about Belfort having no chance. Belfort has done something  that Jones cant/wont do and thas demolish HW's this is not just some MW.
