Polo 1,433 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Let's hope the long-awaited Jones v Evans fight isn't a let down. Can't see Jones tossing Rashad around like he has with his other opponents so there's always a chance Rashad can get inside and TKO him in the 25 minutes available. If Jones takes him down then I'd fancy him to win by sub.Undercard doesn't look the greatest but I'm looking forward to MacDonald v Mills. MacDonald should win easily IMO but Mills has a puncher's chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back2BackChampions 31 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Stuck some money on rashad at 4/1 just to make it bit more exciting.With jones at 1/6 he's heavy favourite, not always that straight forward in UFC though. Looking forward to it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polo 1,433 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 4/1 for someone who's held their own against the division's elite and only been defeated once is tempting.He totally dominated Phil Davis - who's built up as being the best wrestler in the division. He's also been in against guys like Chuck and Rampage who have really heavy hands and emerged victorious.But then again Jones is a phenom!

the goal machine 7,806 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I think Jones is going to destroy him, but Rashad is still the 2nd best LHW in the world. He's got a chance obviously but Jones is just scary. Can't wait for it though.The undercard isn't the best but Rory MacDonald's one of my favourite fighters so I'm looking forward to seeing him fight, and Torres-McDonald should be good as well if Torres fights like he did in WEC rather than playing it safe.

He absolutely destroyed Condit! Couldn't quite believe how easily he tossed Nate Diaz around either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the goal machine 7,806 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Whats jones record ?Hoping GSP can get back in action sooner than thought15-1. His only loss was a Disqualification though, he was destroying Matt Hamill and then hit him with illegal elbows (12 to 6 downward) and he got DQ'd. He's going to be the best of all time.

It will be the same with Jones then in the future there will be another that comes along , those one or two in a generation fighters that can be argued to be the best ever Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently, Fedor or Anderson Silva are considered the G.O.A.T but Jones will eclipse them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,875 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 With Jones dominating his division, should he not consider moving up to heavyweight?Obviously he weighs 205, after he cuts weight, but is 6'4 not hell of a big for a light heavyweight? Brock Lesnar is only 6'3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Lesnar is only 6'3 He probably will in the future but he's not that big of a LHW, he's just lanky. He has thin legs and he doesn't struggle to get down to 205. Plenty of time.

Polo 1,433 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Jones will definitely fight at how in the future. Would love to see Anderson Solva take him on at LHW sometime soon but I'm sure I read somewhere that they'd refuse to fight each other. Anyway, last night's main event wasn't the best. Both guys had reasonably good chins. What about the battering Che Mills took? Fuck sake! Was half expecting him to tap before it was stopped. Never looked like getting up.
