I really hope Jackson wins this fight. I would happily consume all of the clothes in my wardrobe for Jones to lose this fight via a Batista-styled powerbomb. A normal slam will suffice however, meriting the consumption of 3/4 of my wardrobe. 
Edit: Obviously some seasoning will be required. Hopefully, some of Jones' blood, mixed with some garlic and maybe a few herbs.

You guys see the interview that Rogan did between Jones and Jackson Saturday night during the event?  Rampage was very disrespectful and Jones was nothing but respectful.  At first, I was going to pull for Rampage, but after that, I'm going with Jones

That was Jacksons alter-ego Mr T, therefore, we cannot blame Jackson. (yeah, saw the interview but I guess its cause Jones, although champion, isnt excessively ****y. Jacksons got a hell of alot more wins, give Jones some time to lose his title, after that, I dont think hell be so respectful)

I did see it. rampage still saying there is/was a spy in his camp. jones saying why would he bother when he knows he will beat rampage. Confidence,, not arrogance. that is the way it came across by me. something tells me when they meet in the middle of the octagon rampage is going to know he is in alot of trouble. its different to talk smack in front of the media then it is when your inside the cage.

I don't think in your 41st professional fight and 27th in the biggest organizations in the world you're gonna be too concerned with the man standing across from you in the cage/ring

I thought the interview was hilarious .. Jones seemed nervous.

@thiago. jones seemed nervous before the rua fight and look how that turned out. its different when they are mano//mano in the cage. lets see if rampage looks jones in the eyes. i will say it. this will be a beatdown and then a submission, some kind of choke. second round.

Lots of fighters don't make eye contact prior to a fight...doesn't mean they're scared to be there

I have said it once and I'll say it again, if Rampage can rock Rashad and almost finish him on the ground, he can do the same to Jones.

rashad is my favorite fighter but he is only five feet 11 inches and jones is 6 feet 4 inches. rampage would have to eat a few punches and still get thru to land a bomb on jones. 5% chance of that happening. i'll take the other 95%.
