I'm having a party at my place to watch tonight.

I'm taking Jones for the win, but wouldn't be surprised to see Shogun's experience shine through. I think he could end up submitting Jones, because the kids a bit careless with his arm placement and while his strength has let him get away with that in the past, he's never fought someone as skilled as Rua before.

I hope Jones wins, but I don't know if he'll be able to overcome Shogun's experience.

Jones is the next big thing. Video game covers, coaching on Spike, all that.

I pretty much invented him about a year ago :cool:

Not only did he live up to the hype he did it without struggle. Domination 23yr old. Goodluck Rashad Evans lol

Unbelievable. Jones is unbelievable. I cringe every time I see him fight because his elbows/knees look so nasty. What a fighter...

Feel bad for Shogun. He likely would have been defeated regardless, because Jones is an animal, but he was out of shape. He looked like the Shogun who came off of knee surgery that fought Forrest Griffin and Mark Coleman. Just slow, chubby, and no gas tank.

Would have liked the see the Shogun who fought Liddell and Machida x2.

Also feel bad for Rashad Evans. Giving up 5+ inches in height and 10+ inches in reach. He will get dissected by Jones.

I'm hoping Phil Davis can beat Lil' Nog, and will look good in another couple fights. Really want to see him get his striking down. If he does, he may be the only guy at 205 with the wrestling and enough reach to give Bones an intriguing fight.

Jones destroys Evans then Jones destroys Davis. Unless Jones slacks off, I don't see anyone beating hime for a good while.

Jones is a new breed, from the first time i saw him he's done nothing but amaze. He's the most exciting fighter there is right now and he's only 23, the sky is the limit for this kid

Shogun looked like he did coming off a injury which he was (again) but even at 100% i very much doubt he could take Jones
