Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  


We humans are complex beasts. I think I am going to change it to round 3 because Jones CAN finish off an opponent eveb before they fade. Jones doesn't fade because he doesn't pack on muscle the same way most LHWs do, plus he doesn't waste a lot of energy like Rashad does.

Prediction: wrong Evans   wrong Decision  

This fight is gotta be a 2012 fight of the year nominee, cause this is UNBELIEVABLE! two of the greatest Light Heavyweights in the world competing for the World title. I won't be surprised if someone get's finished in this fight, but i see the champ losing the title in a supremely close fight. GO TEAM RASHAD!!!

Honestly the only way I see Evans winning is if he lands a nasty overhand right or he mimics the Dillashaw/Watson fight.  Watson has a huge reach and Dillashaw completely outclassed him with superior wrestling.

@Crum: When is the last time Evans put someone out with that shot? Too many folks remember the Liddell fight like it was yesterday. Evans comes a lot closer to getting finished than finishing most of his opponents.

Just throwing this out there: Statistically VERY few champs ever get their title back once losing it.

Does your gut ever watch MMA? No one has ever knocked Jones DOWN, but Evans is going to knock him OUT in less than five minutes despite about a 10" reach disadvantage?! There is nothing in either person's recent history (last three years) that would suggest your gut has any idea what its gurgling about.

I'm going with the 3rd round tko but I wouldn't be surprised if Jones ends up sinking some kind of choke on rashad

The fact that one person would pick Rashad is an insult to the future GOAT, pure domination expected.

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

This is the most hyped up fight the UFC's had since probably Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir 2 at UFC 100 IMO. This fight has been freaking huge for marketing and the fact that there are so many comments on this site about it says it all. People wanna see this fight! I think it comes down to whether Rashad can etch out a decision win and frustrate Jones by holding him down with wrestling. I think that's the only way he can win this fight. Can he do it? Yes, absolutely. But I just don't think it's gonna happen on this particular night. Jones will knock Evans out, but it'll be a fun fight to watch in the meantime!

Nastradamous from sb nation is predicting that Evans will win a unanimous decision via wresting! That is just hilarious because in my opinion that is very hard to believe. Sorry guy but that's not happening. Jones will dominate.

I'm convinced after the weighins, Jones is winning. No way Evans wins.

I think everyone who is picking Evans to win is counting on "the big brother effect" a little to much. Have you ever seen what happens when the "little brother" grows up and is tired of being in the shadow of his "older siblings" shadow. Well tune in tonight and get educated my friends. Jones in which ever round he decides to end it.

No ... That isnt it at all. Im picking Evans because I think Evans has what it takes to beat Jones.

Jones gets WAY to much credit for his stand up, he can do spinning elbows? Woooooahhh? Lol he doesnt have enough power to finish guys on the feet if he stand with Evans ... Hes getting KOd.
