So much for giving Jones a rest. Why is he fighting Machida and not Rashad though?

I wanted to see Jones vs Machida alot more than Jones vs Rashad anyway!
Machida by triple somersault, over 9000, black house death kick.

Wow, I did not see that coming. Is Rashad's hand injured that bad? Either way, I wonder if he's going to be in the Octagon again for the third time, post-fight. :S
Was contemplating whether or not to go to this one since it's around Finals, but with a Main Event like this, how can I not.

I just heard this about 10 minutes ago and was shaking, literally shaking!
Machida is my favorite fighter but Jones is my number two guy at 205. I wanted to see this fight but not now, lol. I don't see Machida making it out of the first round. Sure he will cause Jones some problems for about a minute or two, because he won't stalk Jones or just stand there and get picked apart. But How can Lyoto get in and then get out of the pocket with Jones' reach?
I love you Machida, but this is a fight I don't see you winning!

Hmm, the two guys that I can't stand the most at 205 going at it? It's a win-win since I get to see one of these guys lose, and hopefully KO'd

Jon Jones believes Rashad is "ducking" him in an effort to make him look bad.

I hope for a Machida victory and i believe he has a good chance. Style wise it could be the Hardest fight for Jones but i guess we will find out Dec 10th. Can't wait.

Just think... if Jones wins (and he will), he'll have beaten Bader, Shogun, Rampage, and Machida - all in the same year. Not bad at all.  |

I thought so, and I don't know if you've guys have seen the interview where Jon Jones said if he had to fight a team mate he would claim an injury? So as far as I am concerned, as much of a fan as I am of him, he needs to shut up. Don't talk stupid crap, unless your Chael Sonnen.  |
