They want Jones to be champ, there is no denying that. They have chosen him as their poster boy.

Much like they wanted Valasquez to remain champ, he brought in more Mexican fans. They already had Silva and Aldo bringing in the Brazilian fans.
 
I think Jones will win, but want Rashad to.

I don't think Jones is more skilled than Rashad in any aspect of MMA, he just has been blessed with an awesome body for MMA his height and reach and his general athleticism give him a great advantage over lots of fighters.
 
He will be easily Ko'd by Aldo though, he took some hard shots in that fight if Aldo has them openings he will put him to sleep.

Has him beaten on the feet and grappling, but there is nobody else for Aldo to face right now.

I want Edgar to drop to 145 and fight him, still don't think he would beat him, but should put on a good fight.
 
Pride favoured strikers more due to the rules, but both have had some amazing fights over the years, can't say I prefer one over the other, they both have good points and bad points.

i prefer fights in the cage as there are no stupid stand ups and moving to the centre of the ring due to the ropes and stuff, it's much more fluid.

I do train, not as much as I used to mind.
 
Mir has no take down skill whatsoever, if wrestlers can't take and hold JDS down, Mir won't be able to.

I see a quick knock out for JDS.

That's not to say Mir isn't capable of winning, he has KO power and obviously great submissions, he is more than capable of pulling off the win, but I don't think he will.

Agreed, the ref had a shocker. Should've been ended MUCH earlier.

Still, great performance by Cain, complete domination.

Glad to see Hardy finally pick up another win, met him in Vegas at the UFC100 fan expo and he was a genuinely sound guy.

Good night of fights and finishes.

I disagree, the doc looked at it and bigfoot said he was ok to carry on, there isn't much more they can do than that.

He was still moving and defending himself, I thought the stoppage and reffing was fine.
 
He wasn't getting completely annihilated at any point though, even if he couldn't see he was defending himself.

You see way worse gnp stoppages on people who can see.

It was more of an overwhelmed sort of stoppage, if he had of been able to get up he could well have changed the momentum of that fight, the problem was he was on the bottom, had he been standing or on top the blood wouldn't have been such an issue.

Wanderlei is done, I see Rich beating him up in this one. Both fighters are at the end of their time but Wand has had too many beatings in his time to be relevant anymore.

I dunno about Rich being done, but Wandy a light breeze could knock him out these days, his style of fighting has taken it's toll on him.

Franklin would still be No. 2 at MW if he had stayed there, just Anderson Silva has his number and he was never going to beat him.

People all over the net are saying Dos Santos is gonna kick Cain & Overeem's arses...

Mainly on Sherdog...

Whoever thinks Jr stands a chance in hell at outstriking Reem, or can do anything at all against Cain's wrestling game; needs to stop watching MMA.

You do realise JDS KTFO Cain already don't you lol.

An yes he will be able to strike with Overeem, this isn't K1 it's MMA.

Overeem has never shown the greatest chin anyway.

JDS didn't do anything impressive at all, it was one punch mate, could happen to anyone, if I was JDS I'd be unhappy with that victory.

Your right, it isn't K-1. Now tell me what advantage that gives JDS when you consider that Ubereem is about twice as physically strong, maybe more, and one of the best aggression & submission grapplers in the divison. If they ever fight, Ubereem will absolutely end his life, then Cain will end his.

His testosterone was what, 14 times that of the average man? Whats that exactly? A guy who sits behind his keyboard on Sherdog/Twitter trying to abuse fighters and spends the rest of his life on Call of Duty? What exactly in the average man's life even generates any decent amount of testosterone? It's not hard to assume, especially with TRT; that Ubereem can be 14x the average amount when you consider the extreme lifestyle he has. Nobody conditions brute strength and pure striking like he does.

Before you accuse me of being a fanboy, I'm really not, I've met Alistair and he really wasn't the nicest of guys. This is fact though, and this is MMA, style's make fights... JDS will die to a better striking and an alpha wrestler (love to see him vs. Brock Lesnord).

Overeem has beaten almost every striker with a name, there's really only JDS left to go.

He never 'failed' a drug test, blame all this **** on the pathetic athletic commission, this is exactly the same as what happened to Chael, everything was legit and somebody bodged it up on the officials end and got him a bad rep, I can't go on anything to with Chael on the internet without some retard loser being all 'lololololol steroid dis man am be steroid man'.

Cannot wait for him to dominate Silva AGAIN.

20Chael, its coming.

The problem Cain will always have with someone who hits like JDS is his chin isn't great. JDS hits hard, very hard. Don't get me wrong I am not saying it's set in stone JDS will beat him again, Cain is more than capable of beating him.

But the fight is not a gimme for either man, and facts are facts JDS already beat him once.

The reason I meantion it's not K1 is because of Overeem's fighting style and more specifically his guard, he uses a standard peekaboo style guard which works in K1 due to the gloves, in MMA not so much and a JDS uppercut would slice through it.

Reem is stronger no doubt, but JDS is way faster and personally I think he hits harder.

Has overeem even asked for a TRT exemption? Only reason people need it is because of steroid abuse, Chaels ******** story of hypergonadism is ridiculous, he claims never to having gone through puberty yet was a Div 1 NCAA wrestler, yeah right.

Overeem has beaten almost every striker with a name? Oh yeah he also lost to Kharitonov, Liddell, Rua got outstruck by lil Nog. He isn't a god.

An to be honest with you, I like both Chael and Overeem. But to think that neither of them have ever done steroids is just silly.

Neither of them have a given for the title, both have a fight on their hands.

I'm really not sure, Guida has never shown KO power and Maynard definitely has power.

Both are capable wrestlers, I think Guida edges the cardio but Maynard has fought 5 rounds before without too much issue.

I'll go with Maynard but would prefer Guida to win.
