Prediction: wrong Teixeira   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

I am not confident in Teix to get this done. I want him to and ive got more confidence in him then I ever had. He a lot bigger then I thought he was and think he actually has the size and strength to match Jones. However I am not confident in his ability to get it done, because of his speed and movement. His defensive movement is not very good, he gets tagged a lot. He also significantly slower then guys like Jones/Gus.

One thing is for sure, Jones is definitely getting dethroned within his 3 next fights.. Glover/Gustaffson and winner of DC/Hendo.

DC and a Gustafson rematch are going to be a lot of fun, but i think Jones can win all of these fights.

If Glover doesn't get the job done then Gus definitely will or the winner of DC/Hendo.

Prediction: wrong Teixeira   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Nobody is invincible in this sport. It happened to anderson silva and lets be real, it happened to GSP. One day jones will let his ego get the best of him. And when that happens, hes gonna go down hard. 1 mistake in the standup against glover and he has the power to put jones to sleep fast. Not gonna debate who won the jones/gust fight, but it was so damn close that it proved jones can be beaten. Who knows, 1 or 2 less punches in that close round and gust could have walked out with the belt. But i think guys like bones need to be finished. We have seen that the judges mostly always lean to the champ, even if it wasnt close.

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Jones is 26 and has only been fighting professionally for 6 years. He is young in both actual age and fight age. This ***********er got a UFC contract in less than 4 months of fighting pro, the old fashioned way and not through TUF, then he won the title about 3 years from his first pro fight. He's a freak.  Let's all sit back and enjoy the next 10 years of domination.

Prediction: correct Jones   correct Decision  

It didn't used to be this way (obviously doesn't apply to like the first 5 seasons), but now if you come through TUF, your chances of fighting for the title are not that great.

Joe Rogan actually said that today on his podcast. "Eventually you're gonna run out of talent". This generation of fighters has pretty much been mined. 

I would like it if the UFC focused on the under 25 talent pool for TUF. Shouldn't be a rule by any means, but youre more likely to find a star in that pool and develop their talent than a 32 year old with 12 fights and no upside

Prediction: wrong Teixeira   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

If Glover can close the distance and avoid the takedowns,keeping the pace, I think he is gonna beat Jones. (And It will be only possible by KO/TKO).
Jones already got dethroned by Gustafsson, in my opinion. It's a matter of time.

Gustaffson is ranked second best LHW for a good reason.

Next 10 years of domination? After that, I don't think it will last as long.

You guys are picking a guy who got hurt by Bader or Maldonado to beat a 26 years old man who cleared the division? That's crazy to me.

@Solaris the same was said about Gustaffson, that he was a guy who got finished by Phil Davis and only fought has beens but look what he managed to do.
