As long as Jones in the champ I will always root for whomever is in the blue corner - Team Break Bones forever!

I'll be doing another Super Av Bet for anyone who is interested. I'll make a thread when the date gets closer.

Also Itzz_Amii, Johnson is your favourite LHW, but you’re picking Jones?!? That’s cold

Anyone else watching the Q&A on Fight Pass right now? It's been pretty entertaining so far, Rumble has some charisma. One thing though is who is this Johnny Alpha Lion guy? He is always asking fighters to follow him on Twitter, at one point he was following me on Twitter.

All his posts are awkward photos with fighters and he claims to be a UFC Marketing Executive

I was more thinking of even when he tried to make 185 he couldn't even get under 200 lbs and was momentarily paraplegic.  At least he's finally in a weight class where the issue shouldn't arise anymore.

Prediction: Jones  |  Decision

This is among Jones toughest opponents he has had in some time. Rumble has the takedown defense and the power and his cardio is good for a three rounder but for a five rounder I am not sure. Jones also has the tendency to throw "accidental" eye pokes in the mix when he gets backed in a corner by waving his hands in people faces. I feel the Texiera fight may have ended differently if Jones hadn't jabbed the guy in the eyes like 3 or 4 times, but that's just me.

Well, considering the last two times he got poked that i saw, he ended up obliterating both guys immediately after the break(Lindeman and Gus)

I'd say he's pretty well prepared.

Yup, apparently Rumble uses the break to listen to his opponent's corner ... good strategy :)

Shorty Cormier gave him so many uppercuts that I'm getting more and more confident Rumble's gonna kill Coco.

Only problem with training with struve is he has no where near the speed or atheletism that Jones has. Nor can he mix it up like jones. Props for finding someone with reach similar to jones, but I hope he does not get to confident because out side there reach, struve/jones are extremely different fighters with completely different skill sets.
