Rumble has that 1 shot KO power but Jones has the advantage everywhere else. It's that chance that Rumble could put Jon's lights out which makes this so exciting.

I really like this fight. I thought DC's best chance was to put hands on Jones and do some real damage. He did land some shots and there was one moment where I thought he might've rocked Jones, but in the end he couldn't do any real damage. I don't think there's anyone that can feel good about taking Jones to decision. Rumble can ******* crack, though, so it'll be interesting to see if he can hurt Jones.

I really thought that DC would put more pressure in Jones.  Johnson is more explosive and aggressive, and the dude has power eenoughto KO anyone in LHW and possibly HW, however I don't think he is the one, Morpheus will have to keep looking, I would love to be wrong about it. but I think Jones will win.

DC did well against Jones when he was the aggressor. Rumble is usually the one moving forward so it really will be interesting to see how he does. If Rumble can keep Jones on the defensive and not gas out, or end the fight before gassing; he will do well. Rumble also has to keep it standing otherwise Jones will submit him.

Sad thing is, this may be the first UFC PPV I've missed since I don't even know when. 

Will likely be on a plane during the main card.

Boys, I'm not saying that Jon Jones is a bigger draw or a bigger celebrity than Brock Lesnar. I meant that he's a more significant athlete in the pantheon of mma history. As far as i'm concerned Jon Jones is the GOAT, and Chris Weidman is the guy that beat the runner up for GOAT.

Jones, Silva, Fedor and GSP are all arguably the greatest ever. The only difference is, Jones has the opportunity to make it a non argument. @Ben.
