This one is very possible, if Rampage connects clean on anyone it could end the fight. But Jones is one of my favorite fighters, I can't award hunt against him.

I went award hunting at 134 with Okami and that didn't turn out so well for me. Although I think Rampage will give Jones a much better fight then Okami did Silva I just can't see Rampage winning under any circumstances.

I refuse to pick Jones just on principle, I'm a Rampage fan, Rampage could have a broken arm and I'd still pick him.

The risk isn't worth the reward.  I'd rather be right, and that means that you've got to be smart.  I'll stick with Jones winning this fight in decisive fashion.  This fight is tailor made for Jones to show off his skills.

Since I quit chasing awards, my win% has gone up .5%. I think I'll stick with Bones.

Prediction: wrong Jackson   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Maybe it's just me, but award hunting aside I think Rampage has a real chance to win this. That one perfect shot from Rampage can take anyone out. Rampage has the experience, the strength and the take-down defense to put up a much better fight than people are thinking.
Of course, Jon Jones is (rightfully) the favorite here because of his dominant wins over top opponents (especially Shogun). But to be honest, I really hope Jones loses this fight. I like Jones a lot and I really think that he's going to be one of the best fighters of all time, but I don't think he's there yet and I think it's going to take a real loss to a real top contender to get him to reach his potential. Rampage can beat him, and while I can't say what will happen with any certainty, I really hope Rampage connects and puts him out.

I picked rampage before he was a heavy dog, remember that when Jones is out cold in the first.

I think i might go for it, I think Jackson definatly has a chance to get the KO, I still havent made up my mind yet, but i cant see Rampage getting finished

Prediction: correct Jones   correct Submission   wrong Round 2  

I'm just going to explain this the best way possible,

Jones is going to outclass Rampage so severely, he will get to CHOOSE how to beat him.

And that's why he'll go for the Sub in the 2nd round.
