AG poses a greater threat to Jones due to his range than Hendo does because he's waaaaay too slow to touch Jones and there is just no way he'd ever take him down if he did touch him. I have given up on the idea of Jones losing.

Prediction: correct Jones   correct Decision  


8-1 odds, wow.

Do you think Machida would've opened as an 8-1 dog?

Don't think so.

So why take his title shot away, again. When he has earned it, twice, and has a better chance at winning than Gust?

UFC logic.

Prediction: wrong Gustafsson   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I can't pick against my boy. I hope Gustafsson kicks his ass, but if the past is any indication, the result of this fight is gonna piss me off. The Mauler is the "Great White Hope", at least that's what my dad says

I think this fight is more interesting than seeing Jones and Machida again Gus is a really well rounded dude who wont be extremely outsized by Jones this could be a really good scrap WAR GUS

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  


Alex is well rounded but lets be honest, his real weakness is wrestling/submission... Phil Davis made that evident. Sure the fight was 3 years ago and he's had time to improve, but the only wrestlers he's face since then are Te Huna and Matyushenko.... Neither one wrestles as good as Phil Davis, and Jon Jones would crush Phil Davis. Jon Jones has show his wrestling is as good as it gets and is the best in the LHW division and i think he could easily TD Gustaffson and maul him in a couple rounds.... BUT he won't!

Jones is in his prime and I think he uses his wrestling only to keep Alex honest and tire him out. I think Jones will strike his way to a TKO and win in relatively easy fashion!

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

The first round will be Jones standing with Gus to prove his reach advantage isn't the reason he wins, just like he keeps claiming was his reason for wanting this fight in the first place. Sceond round, he'll stop toying around, take Gus down, and start droppin' them hellbows.

Jones likes beating people at their own game. He did that with Bader, Shogun, Sonnen, and Rampage to an extent. Wouldn't be surprised if he trades with Gustafsson for 2+ rounds.

@Jaffa, that seems way too creative to be a UFC poster.

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

It would be cool if Gus shocks the world but this seems like a straight forward submission win for Jones here. I'm actually a fan of Jones' fighting style (with emphasis on style, not personality) and I agree that now Jones is #1 P4P. I expect a very dynamic fight between these two guys whatever the result, maybe Gus will target that toe.

Crazy things have been happening in the UFC lately. It isn't farfetched to think Gus wins.

How can the UFC be wrong by 5 inches? That cray cray...

I always thought that stat was fishy. No way his arms are shorter than mine. My reach (measured 5 years ago) is 78"
