-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 can see it as winnable fight for Rashad. I definitely don't see him as that much of an underdog, but Rashad is definitely the underdog in this fight. I wouldn't say that Jones was hesitant against Rampage, he just kept his distance, and waited for his opening. Once Jones saw his opening, he took it, and dominated the fight. I think he'll do the same thing against Rashad.
Rashad has possibly a slight speed advantage, and the movement, but Jones is pretty quick himself, and a much larger, stronger LHW.

jones won every round against a top 205er and he looked less then steller?? i though he did pretty damn good. could have shot in for more take down but why?? he was winning standing up. rashad does have power and is the only person in the 205 division that i can see having a shot (no pun intended ;-) ) at taking jones down but i just think it's unlikely and then jones will use his reash to keep it satanding. the odds seem about right to me although it wouldn't be stupid to bet on rashad.

Rashad has said himself how strong Rampage is, and 3 of 12 TD's landed is hardly at will and manhandled. I think Jones will definitely land some throws on Rashad, Quinton could just overpower Jones to avoid them, I don't see Rashad doing that.
Rashad is stuck on "that one day in practice I held him down". Now that has to be at least a year ago, and Jones is improving so quickly that I doubt Rashad can get him down let alone hold him down. Plus Jones has obviously been working his bottom game, who expected him to go for a triangle on Rampage? I just don't think Rashad has been improving any lately, while Jones is taking off.
Machida is the only LHW I will say even has a chance against Jones.

Let me just start by saying, I'm a fan by both men.
When Rashad Evans stopped by Torres' gym in Hammond, Indiana, I was there getting my gloves signed.
With that said, I think Jon Bones Jones is holding this title for however long he wants, the man is insane.
