Prediction: correct Jones   correct Submission   wrong Round 2  

I give rampage a 5% chance to land his best punch "flush" on JBJ's temple. I'm taking the other 95% i think jones will let rampage tire himself out with punches in the first round and in the early second round, throw him down to the canvas and get whatever choke he wants.

Jones by just about anything he wants. I love Rampage, but Jones can and will control this fight anywhere it takes place.

Prediction: correct Jones   correct Submission   correct Round 4  

If Rampage wants to win, either one of two things needs to occur. He manages to time Jones coming in with a powerful counter or he gets more agressive as the rounds go on and piles on the pressure.

Rampage can't time fast strikers very well. If he tries to do it with Jones, it will be Rampage/Rashard again, only I don't see Jones being rocked in the 3rd round. Jones will just have his way with him and either knock him out Wanderlei Silva style, submit him or just plain win by desicion.

Which means Jackson is going to have to pressure Jones without taking too much damage from Jones's akward-but-effective striking. If it gets to the later rounds (4 and 5) Jackson is going to have to go for broke and not look to just counter punch. Also his takedown defense better be as good as what we saw against the Hamill fight (or rather, better since Hamil's wrestling is inferior to Jones)

For Jones...This is his fight to lose. Hell that goes for any other title fights (if he gets past Rampage) since I really do feel that right now the only person who can beat Jones is Jones himself.

Cmon Rampage.. I think Jones is going out in the first... Rampage is not who you wanna test your chin against and I think Rampage will tag him a few times and maybe land an uppercut to finish!

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

I really do like Rampage, and I would love to see him win, but Jones is in a class all of his own right now. Rampage has a definite puncher's chance, but I haven't even seen Jones rocked in a fight, or in any kind of trouble what-so-ever. I think that Jones gets the TKO in the 3rd round, but I will be cheering my ass of for Rampage.

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

I think Jones will use his reach and pick Jackson apart from the outside. If he does get caught look for him to take it to the ground early if the standup does not go his way.

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Puncher's chance is absolutely all Rampage has. Jones will pick him apart with his reach. Rampage is also a very one dimensional standup fighter, Jones attacks from so many angles. I think Jones will be able to take Rampage down as well to soften him up and tire him out. I see it looking much like the Shogun fight. Jackson will have to land that lucky punch to win.

I can't see Rampage giving Jones any problems at all, just more meat to grind.

I'm a big Jackson fan, but beyond a puncher's chance, I don't see how Rampage wins this fight.

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I've been a Rampage fan since his fight against Sakuraba in PRIDE, but I can see him taking the same beating he took against Wandy (twice) in PRIDE, and going out sometime in the 2nd. I don't want to pick it, but that's what I'm going with... however if Rampage wins it'll be the only time I've ever been that happy about being wrong.

I love Rampage but I don't want him to win, Jones is the future and the longer he stays on top the better for the sport, the bar will be higher spawning better fighters.

I don't like Jones but lately he's been wrecking people with ease, his chin hasn't been tested yet that i've seen.
With Page coming off an easy UD win over Hamil he showed some new striking in his game. IF he shows up to fight i think he'll knockout Jones.

My pick is Page by KO this won't go to the judges (hopefully)

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

I think Rampage is probably the most durable fighter Jones has faced so far.  I think if Rampage wants to win this fight he needs to take it into the championship rounds and see what Jones is made of. 

However, I think Jones will try and wrap Rampage up and finish him in the clinch somehow, much to my disappointment.

I give Rampage less of a chance than I gave Shogun, and that was no chance.

@geezhound I totally agree. Rampage is gonna be swinging a lot and only hitting air. The best part of this fight will be the pre fight interveiws with Rampage. He's hilarious. Jones is way too much for Rampage to handle. You beat Shogun that easily you're a bad bad dude. Did Jones even break a sweat in that fight? Same with Bader. Jones makes it look so easy.
