Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

I honestly don't think vitor has any chance and it is going to come down to weather jones wants to put on a good show and impress the fans or play it safe and finish it in the first. No disrespect to vitor but I think jones is just too damn big for vitor to get close too

Jitz, you are so right.  I wouldnt consider going but the opportunity to see BJ, Shogun and that Title fight is too much to pass up.  May not have the chance to see Shogun or BJ after this, unfortunately.

I hear that, but I go to so many events that the live factor is Ehh. lol.  Never been to a UFC, so may as well do it.

Not that it's going to happen, but if Belfort beat Jones would that be the biggest upset in MMA history?

The odds in this fight are such ********. Serra had no chance to beat GSP. Sokoudjou could NEVER beat Lil Nog. Werdum wouldn't come close to beating Fedor. Tito Ortiz has ZERO chance against Bader. Korean Zombie had nothing to offer Hominick. 

Odds mean ****. Everytime there's ridiculous odds and the underdog wins its always in a short period of time. Jones is getting laid out.

" Everytime there's ridiculous odds and the underdog wins its always in a short period of time."


yet you have the finish happening in round 2.


Vitor Belfort hasn't left the first round in 4 years.
According to you, huge underdogs always win in a short period of time.
Vitor Belfort is a huge underdog.


Now why do you have the finish happening in round 2 again?

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

I pick Jon Jones to win by first round KO.  I give Vitor credit for stepping up.  He used to fight at LHW before he moved down to MW.  I don't think he is big enough, strong enough or has the repertoire of fighting moves or resources to hold his own against a fighter as formidable as Jones.

But hey, Anderson Silva won't step up so I give Vitor all the credit in the world for throwing caution to the wind and not letting his record or reputation stand in his way of wanting to fight the best.

not as easy as it sounds, Vitor will need to get him real good with the first punch and when he does rush and throw lefts and rights while running it's gonna be really hard to avoid the clinch in that situation because of Jones' arm length.

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

They put in Vitor for a injured Hendo. WOW thats the best they good do. Bones is going to make him look silly. Yes Vitor has ko power. Well hold on let me re-phrase that again. He has FIRST Rd. knock out power and thats it. We have seen it a thousand times if Vitor doesnt KO someone really fast he gas's out everytime. My prediction it gets real bad for Vitor at the end of the first RD. Spinning elbows, knees from the clinch, and some nasty ground and pound, then the ref has seen enough. TKO STOPPAGE!!!  After all of that hopefully all the disrespect towards Jon Jones will stop. Listen mma fans IDK Jones personally but what ive seen him do for the UFC i have mad respect. He's the only fighter to fight 4 times in a year. He's also shown his opponents nothing but respect even through all the trash talk. Rampage and Rashad. If u dont like the guy because some of his decisions u have too remember hes really young and mayb a little immature at times. So give the guy a break, we all make mistakes. Dont b a HATER!!!

I think Jones wins this fight pretty easy honestly, Belfort hasn't fought since January, his only chance his to land a big punch early cause as soon as Jones gets into his rythm Belfort won't touch him.
