Jon Jones is an absolute beast. The kid just has it and he's going to be extremely tough for anyone to ever beat.

I could see this leading to an eventual meeting with Anderson Silva for the 205 belt.

The Rashad fight will be better, cause Rashad has a better overall skill set than Rampage, but I am pretty confident that Jones will destroy him. Especially not that it's pretty clear that Jones absolutely has no love lost for Rashad.

I think Jones will be out to prove a serious point in that fight and it might get pretty ugly for Rashad, much like the Machida fight got pretty ugly for him.

Rashad presents a completely different problem for Jones, in my opinion. Rashad is A LOT faster than Rampage, and he's not nearly as one dimensional. I think Jones will be taken down for the first time against Rashad, and we'll get to see how dangerous the kid is off his back.

I think Jones can pull off the win, but it's going to be nothing like this fight. Rashad can close distance, and he's not only got good take downs, but he can keep you there.

I didn't see much in the way of punching power from Jones either, which is ironic since he mentioned it at the end of the fight, so I don't know that he's going to be able to rock Rashad with his hands, I think Sugar's chin is a little suspect.

Uh oh it looks like you and I are on the same page with this one.

Upset alert?

Rashad is always at his best as an underdog too.
