Rashad vs Bones would be awsome. I think Rashad is one of the only lhw's who has the tools to potentially beat bones, but every fight Bones is looking scarier and scarier, so Rashad's days would be numbered. Awsome that this thread popped up me and Lynx Guy were talking about this yesturday.

I can't see anyone taking Bones out at LW, he is just so far away from, he can hit you, but you can't hit him. if Shogun wins I'll be mightily impressed.

Honestly if Shogun tried a leg kick, Bones could elbow him from that distance.

I dont see Jon Jones as a Fan favorite no disrespect but he hasnt been in the scene long enough for me to call him a fan favorite like some of the other fighters. But I do respect that the fact hes not wanting to fight his teammate but its not your job to make friends its to fight.

Mike I don't think you need to be in the game for a long time to be a fan favourite. I mean he's had a couple of headline fights already which means that his name is marketable and then it seems like every analyst can't say anything wrong about him. and classy, can't forget that at all. He is most definitely a fan favourite.

Perform impressively in the ring and the fans will come, Bones is such a freak in the best possible way, and to see such talent and perfect MMA genetics is awesome. MMA is still a relatively young sport, the fighters will always get better the more popular it becomes. Shogun is right up there with the best LHW's ever, but Bones is a revolution, he's set the bar even higher which will only inspire young MMA athleted to aspire to a to something greater, What a great time we live in for MMA.
