Prediction: correct Jones   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

Damn as if this fight is happening tonight.  Been looking forward to a Jones title shot for over a year now.  Made a last minute change to my prediction.  I think if Shogun makes it out of the first round Jones finishes him in the second.  Whether Shogun knocks Jones out or Jones handles Shogun like he has every other opponent, tonight's going to be awesome.

Prediction: wrong Rua   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  


I'm going to make a very bold prediction. I think the fight will end by doctor stoppage in the first round if Jones tries to check a leg kick. I was rewatching Rua's leg kicks and they're nasty. Jones has extremely skinny legs and I think we might see a repeat of the Corey Hill...that was ugly.

Jones seems to have thrown the whole experience factor right out the window when it comes to his fights.  His opponents need to rely more on a solid gameplan than on their experience "advantage".

Shogun should NOT be the underdog, no respect for the champ even though Jones is really talented.

More than 2700 lbs of force...Careful of the low kicks Jon Jones. It could be real bad. Jones has to take the fight to the ground real fast.

Prediction: correct Jones   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Alright, if Shogun lines up a big one for a heavy bag he can generate all that force. But how much has Shogun really been known as a devastating low kick guy?  Only fight I can think of is the first Machida fight where he executed a specific game plan, and even then it was the accumulation of many kicks, not a single crushing one or two.

I was actually thinking Jones would win this fight. But I just get this feeling something really crazy is going to happen, and I see a broken leg as a very good possibility. Besides, as far as predictions go I'm going to be more bold because the more conservative I am the worse I do.

I really can't believe I saw Shogun tapping to strikes.  I mean I imagined Jones destroying Shogun, but holy ****.  I don't blame Shogun, but I really can not believe what I saw.  My mind is blown.  Shogun was saying how Jones doesn't have knockout power.  Has anyone ever hurt Shogun that bad?  I hate that people are gonna blame Shogun's injuries or layoff, but Jones is clearly the better fighter with only a fraction of the experience.  I knew the Jones era would begin today.  Woo!
