@wolf, That sounds extremely reasonable. Give him a round to beat up rampage's body and head, then secure the takedown halfway through round two and sink in the sub towards the end!

just watched the video of rampage talking about the jones fight. i hope jones watches it and uses it as motivation. seriously jackson is going to be  in  world of hurt in that fight. rampage has a 5% chance of landing a "flush" strike on the chin of jones. i'm taking the other 95% of the full skillset of jon "bones" jones. this fight won't even be competitive.

Confidence isn't being full of yourself. I like him 'cause he's an amazing fighter, and that's what MMA is about, it's not a popularity contest. I don't take anything I read seriously either, they edit and twist things solely to build up fights. He's clean and respectful, nothing to hate.

It beyond confidence. U can be confident with out being arrogant and ****y. Jones is ****y, arrogant and a prick in my opinion. Perfect example is that BS he was spouting about not signing replica belts.

I know it not a popularity contest, but there is plenty of reasons not to like the guy, which was my point.

When have they ever edit jones in negative light? This has nothing to do with editing, he simply a ****y prick. He been one for a while, he just tries to hide it, but it been seeping through more and more. he bought into his hype and he will end up paying for it. He not that respectable, he a good fighter, not a good person, those arnt mutual exclusive.

 Jones is an exciting and dynamic fighter but everything he says seems scripted and fake. I've said that from the first time I saw him talk. FWIW, I also predicted the drama between him and Rashad from the get. His veneer keeps thinning with every slip though and I warrant we'll see/hear more of it in the months to come. I'll be pulling for Rampage but unless this kid's jaw is made of glass, I see him Humiliating the LHW division until he can't cut the weight as easily as his age affords and moves up. Jones seems to have it all right now, minus maturity.

 Hopefully Rampage will show us what his chin is made of, I would imagine even the hardcore Jones fans want to know.
