Ridiculous? May be. But I want Jones's ass handed to him & I think Belfort has a great chance of KO'ing him in R1 if he gets inside his range for a few seconds. It only takes 1 punch :D

Well hes bigger...nevermind, he has better wrestling....no, how about longer reach....nope, well he has a hot wife surely that counts for something

The only advantage I give Vitor is speed and technical striking but I doubt it makes much difference given Bones massive size advantage

Btw. I never said Vitor was more dangerous than Jones, I said Anderson was more dangerous then Bones in response to someone who said something as the last comment of the 4th page.

Also, pass me some of what you're having. That Eastman cut is far worse than the Rampage cut.

He was saying that Rampage is a better fighter though, therefore cutting Rampage open > cutting Beastman open

Speed doesn't mean that much when you still can't reach your opponent. Vitor is going to get outclasses on the feet and then outclassed on the ground. Jones by Guillotine in the 2nd.

This fight will be extremely reminiscent of Bones v. Rampage, except Bones will take Belfort's back in 2R.

If Vitor tags Jones .... which he will. He will follow up on it, unlike everyone else Jones has fought.

^^^This is one of only a few fights to go above +600 in odds (only other one I've seen in the past 6 months is the upcoming Melendez/Healy fight). I'm pouncing on any person with those odds until I get that milestone. :P
