Prediction: correct Jones   wrong Decision  


I'm gonna say this Jone's technically should win this fight. But he's got to be weary of Bader's power. I have Jones winning, but if Bader gets him down and can keep him there my prediction will sadly go down the drain.

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong Decision  

Bones Jones will continue to rise in the LHW rankings. Collegiate wrestling credentials have proven to mean nothing in MMA thus far, i see Bones using his speed and quickness to land awkward strikes and catch Bader with some slick takedowns to win a UD.

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Ahhh yes, the one thats got every bodies attention. The two biggest prospects at 205 squaring off at a chance for the big time. Bader has his superb classic wrestling pedigree combined with an awkward looking yet effective striking game. Jones has his tried and tested Greco-Roman wrestling along with his crazy Street Fighter striking to round him up. These two dogs got a lot to prove to themselves and the world and they aim to please. This is gonna test every skill they have until late in the 3rd round. Its then that I see Bader's gas tank failing him and Jones going for this kill with a speedy legsweep followed by a rain of elbows to KO Bader. Fight of the Night here baby.

If Bader has any sense at all, he should throw 3 standing punches in this fight. Jab, SHOOT. GRIND....rinse, repeat....

Bones!

This could be a good fight, I hope it makes it to the later rounds. The winner will shoot up the rankings and the loser will most likely gain respect for a tuff fight.

Jones/KO/Rd 2

Prediction: correct Jones   wrong KO/TKO   correct Round 2  

Look, Ryan Bader is a good, well-rounded fighter who has years of success ahead of him, but Jones is not going to be the opponent who propels him into talks of title bouts and other prestigious accolades. Jones is too creative, has too many advantages, for Bader to pose any real offensive threat. He will spend the majority of the fight on the defense, and even there he will be out-finessed.

I really am pulling for Bader, but I must go with the smart pick and go with "Bones" in the 1st via knee

Well, I changed my mind after watching bader's fight with lil nog. Bader was doing pretty good till close to the end of the fight where he gased out.I see bader on top of jones most of the fight untill bader slows down and gets caught.

Elbow is gonna hurt Bader enough for the ref to stop the fight after one of Jones flurries where he isn't even looking where he his throwing elbows/punches.

This staredown was crazy.  There's something very different about Bones Jones. All his talk about preparation, focus, and getting to know his opponent for months sounds kind of cliche.  But then you see him in this staredown and it's like he is about to explode for this one moment.

War Bones!!!

Bones is for real and so is his ground and pound. Bader will come out like a bat out of hell!! Bones will have to be able to think quick and drop bader with a counter. or bader wins by out wrestling Jones....prb not

Is the listed reach advantage correct? 10 inches? I think Bader can weather the storm better than Jones's last two opponents, but I don't see many ways for Jones to lose this fight.
