Jones vs. Gane
Ciryl Gane, TKO, R4
Jones is done. Yes he won UD against Santos, Smith and Reyes. But these kicks wont work against Gane, Gane is 2x technical, has a good footwork. These fairytales about Jones grappling... ehen last time did he use his grappling? against washed up Gus? He did not grapple for 100 years.He has no tools against Gane, Gane is faster, sharper, too technical. I think it will be Jones last fight. Unless ....some juice are coming

Duuuuude Jones was preparing 3 years to takedown a Heavyweight. He couldn't even take down natural heavyweight Polish prospect who was sparring him at Greg Jackson's gym. And that was before Cormier 2 fight. Jones is gonna grapple this fight 4 sure

Ok, but training and fighting is different story. will it work? He is not Francis with his unususal power.
Gane is not zero in grappling, he has skills, he can heel hook you, triangle choke you etc.
I don't see how Jones can win. 
Gane was training his grappling too, I can bet Lopez was angry after Francis fight.


and if he cant take Gane down - he is done. He has no KO power, he will be pieced up badly.

Of course Gane isn't the Mark Hunt when it comes to grappling, but when I see Jones as of what he looks like now, the juice is coming off him, and also he trains with Henry Cejudo. I mean I wouldn't say rly much but Im gonna say it. Give Henry the tape on Ciryl and he is going to give you the best plan possible that Jon can execute against Ciryl.

I got your point. It is true, but not always working. Henry is good coach. but...
Give Wittman Fiziev tape and... it wont help :)

Gane's team know that Jones gonna grapple, they are not stupid. Jones has just one tool. What if it will not work...?

Striking favors Gane yes, but with smart fighters like Jones you must always consider that they will somehow find a certain pattern and learn to expose it during the fight. And Idk how fast can Ciryl adapt to what Jones will try to pull of agaonst him. Of course Ngannou fight gives Gane a bad name when it comes to adaptability cause Ngannou just ragdolled him at his will. But cmon, Ngannou if he went to strongmen competition he'd win more strongmen titles than Mariush Pudzianowski, without juicing. Honestly I don't see this fight being so 1 sided for Gane because I remember what a terrifying ************ Jones was when he was motivated. As for Ngannou fight I wouldn't give Jones any chance because the strongest fighter he faced was prob Rampage Jackson. But with Ciryl its getting actually interesting

Jones vs. Gane
Ciryl Gane, TKO, R4
I see Gane dominating with his striking and eventually getting a TKO stoppage.

Shevchenko vs. Grasso
Valentina Shevchenko, DEC
Dominant decision for Shevchenko. 50-45 on all 3 judges cards.

Araujo vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, SUB, R2
Ribas by SUB is the best pick imo.

Brunson vs. Du Plessis
Derek Brunson, TKO, R1
1st round TKO via ground and pound for Brunson

Neal vs. Rakhmonov
Shavkat Rakhmonov, DEC
I see Shavkat winning, and dominating, but I see Geoff Neal being too tough to finish. 30-26 on all 3 judges cards. Maybe one will even have a 30-25.

Pickett vs. Nickal
Bo Nickal, TKO, R1
Nickal runs through Jamie Pickett imo.

Penne vs. Ricci
Tabatha Ricci, DEC
Ricci by domination.

Basharat vs. Blackshear
Farid Basharat, DEC
Basharat all day

Garbrandt vs. Arce
Julio Arce, TKO, R1
Garbrandt is done.

Bautista vs. Cannetti
Mario Bautista, SUB, R1
Bautista by quick submission.

Marquez vs. Barriault
Julian Marquez, TKO, R2
Marquez by brutal KO early in the second round.

Kirk vs. Ribovics
Esteban Ribovics, TKO, R1
Quick KO.

Jones vs. Gane
Jon Jones, DEC
For all the Burritos. Except they vandalized all the Bodegas while Jon was shooting from his car. Not sure if Jon can wrestle as powerfully as Francis. But probably does anyway. Will need some gnp to seal the deal. The weight will slow him down. Gane has flying salad stomach teepe kicks.

Yo actually its leg'o clock for Jones, might switch to Gane by TKO cause I think Jones might break his leg in 2nd. He is litteraly the last guy to break his leg from the picture featuring Chris Weidman, Conor McGregor, Anderson Silva and Jones.
