I would like to see Rashad win, but I believe Jones will wreck him. Rashad really didn't prove me anything tonight.

@wolfman, no shame in that. It's like when I pick my fantasy baseball team. I don't pick anyone from the Mets/Phillies/Marlins/Nationals because I want the Braves to win.

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 4  

Rashad is ****y and doesn't pull the trigger on anyone with a decent chin. Jones takes Rashad down, ground & pounds him and beats him in the stand-up, and eventually Rashad will fold

that why i got evans early with the tko. he will have to be uberagressive and get a takedown and ground and pound jones in first or second round. its his only chance.

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

I can't decide what this fight will resemble more: Johnny Bedford-Louis Gaudinot, or Anderson Silva-Forrest Griffin.

There is no way I will spend $60 to watch this grotesque mismatch.

And may G-d help Rashad afterwards.

actually the more i think about it the more i give evans a better chance than most of you. as long as he uses his wrestling to takedown jones he has a very good chance. its when bones is standing his reach gives him such an advantage. on the canvas it will be close i believe. we shall see. plus i bet being such an underdog will be great motivation for rashad.

Man I don't know...Phil Davis was able to get out of so many tough spots when Rashad got him down and that was because he had trouble with his size.  Jones doesn't have the wrestling that Davis does, but he's still big enough that will make it difficult for Rashad to control him when/if he gets him down.  Rashad's chin is suspect--he got knocked down big time by Rampage and obviously Machida KO'd him.  If Rashad doesn't put it on early to give Jones doubt I think he gets brutalized in the 3rd round.

Prediction: correct Jones   correct Decision  

Why does everyone say that Rashad's chin is suspect?....He got knocked down by Rampage who is possibly the hardest punching 205er and Lyoto is without doubt one of the most dangerous strikers at that weight........Doesn't make any sense to me
