Prediction: correct Jones   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

There's some misinformation out there about young athletes "growing". Not just in MMA, in football and basketball too, where analysts talk about athletes "still growing" when they are young. Males pretty much stop growing (heightwise) at 20-21. The "growth" refers to filling out their frame (ie: Jon Jones), not gettting taller or longer.

I feel sometimes the media overplays that growth.

I hope Gus can get this done. If he can't stuff Jones he done for, but if he can stuff him. I think in a striking match Gus can win. I think his hands are better and is more technical. However jones is unpredictable so even striking I can see Jones blasting Gus.

Has anyone watched the countdown yet?

Phil and Gus on answering the question whether they'd fight if Gus took the belt:

Gus: "We're both professionals, we both want to be #1, if we have to fight, let's do it"
Davis: "It'll be fair, it'll be fun and either way the belt comes back to the same gym"

I've never criticized training partners for not fighting each other since I've never been in their shoes, I've never had to crush the dreams and face of someone who's my "brother in arms", but hearing these two talk about it, and they're REAL friends, they clicked immediately after Phil beat Gus, have been going toe-to-toe almost every day for a long time and hang out after practice too, just makes me happy that a bit of professionalism and perspective is starting to creep in to the sport.

That's why they are honestly my favorite fighters. They are true and understand that it is a job. They will always be friends even if they fight, it just the type of people that they are.

Prediction: correct Jones   correct Decision  

@Joker: I'm pretty hyped as well. 

I'm from Boston, but I've been living in Toronto for the past 5 months. I'm walking to the Air Canada Centre from my apartment with my girlfriend. Interesting that the first UFC event I'm going to live is in another country. 

I actually think Barao/Wineland could be a great fight. And I think Wineland has more of an upset shot here than Gus, which goes against the majority of pickers.

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

I imagine, dance around, pepper him with shots ,,, in and out ... use his footwork, boxing and lesser reach disadvantage than other Jones opponents ... I've been saying for years that I think that if he can manage not to get taken down he's more or less the only LHW with a chance to beat him using that exact strategy (that was before I saw Glover was legit, if anyone can catch JBJ with a big one, it's him) ... problem is, he's most likely going to get taken down.

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

While on paper, it appears like a competitive fight, I think once the Octagon door closes behind them, it will be all Jones.  I think he'll win on their feet AND on the ground.

I predict Jones will take him down and win by savage ground and pound in the second.

And after that, the contenders are few.  Glover Teixeira and Dan Cormier.  After that, he will have cleaned out the LHW division.  Who would care to see a rematch with Evans or Machida?  

I think Jones will move up to HW by summer of 2014.

That is Gustafsson's reach. They've had it wrong for a long time.

If anyone has a chance of beating Jones, I think it would be Gustafsson. I am going for the upset. I believe Jones is getting a little too comfortable.
