-475 favorite for Jones. This implies an 82% probability of victory. I'm sure there are people who will disagree, confident that Rashad will smash Jones. Discuss!

I thought Jones looked stellar against Rampage. I think this fight ends up looking similar.

I actually think this fight goes to a decision, Rashad gets low in his stance and has good head movement and Jones striking although brilliant at times is his biggest weakness. Rashad has good wrestling, so he wont be as easy to take down as a lot of Jones other opponents, and of course the fact that he trained with him before he has a much better idea of what he's gonna see from Jones than anyone else had.
That being said, I don't see how Rashad wins this fight...I could see him scoring a couple of take downs, but I find it highly unlikely he can keep Jones down...with his long frame Jones should be dangerous off his back, but we really dont know since no one can put him there
I think this fight will be Jones toughest fight for a long time, until he meets up with Phil Davis in the next year or so...I'm expecting a long grueling fight between Jones and Rashad, which Jon will control ....but I wouldn't be at all suprised if Jones just smashes either to be honest

Rashad will be willing to engage Jones in areas where rampage wasn't, such as the clinch, so he can try and work it to the ground. I think Rashad is smart enough to realize anyone who fights Jones at a distance WILL NOT win, he's just way too ******* long. He does have KO power, but his chin is also a lot more suceptable to being rocked than Rampage's. I see Jones winning via TKO in the late rounds again, probably starting the barrage with an elbow!
Sorry Thiago :(

Rashad is weaker and has worse TDD then Rampage as well, so expect more throws from Jones since Rashad won't be able to outmuscle him. Not to mention Rashad's chin is nowhere near Rampage's...
