I'm going with Jones, fairly comfortably... he's just too good. I can see him controlling Rashad and winning in about 3 rounds. Outside the HW division, I don't think anyone really stands a chance with Bones...

1. Featherweight bout: Marcus Brimage vs. Maximo Blanco 2. Welterweight bout: Keith Wisniewski vs. Chris Clements 3. Lightweight bout: Mac Danzig vs. Efrain Escudero 4. Lightweight bout: John Makdessi vs. Anthony Njokuani 5. Welterweight bout: Matt Brown vs. Stephen Thompson 6. Heavyweight bout: Travis Browne vs. Chad Griggs 7. Lightweight bout: Mark Bocek vs. John Alessio 8. Featherweight bout: Mark Hominick vs. Eddie Yagin 9. Bantamweight bout: Miguel Torres vs. Michael McDonald 10. Heavyweight bout: Brendan Schaub vs. Ben Rothwell 11. Welterweight bout: Rory MacDonald vs. Che Mills 12. Light Heavyweight Championship: Jon Jones (c) vs. Rashad Evans
Still cant pick a definitive winner in the main event, I dont know what it is about Rashad but I got this itching feeling that he has a real chance against Jones. But if Jones wins this fight I could see him taking a fight with Hendo and if he gets past that which I personally think he wont because Hendo has looked impressive as hell in his last few fights then I could see him possibly moving up to HW but I dont think he'll be able to handle guys like Overeem, JDS, Velasquez or even a guy like Shane Carwin for that matter.

I'm willing to bet he'd beat Shane Carwin.

I'm willing to bet he'd beat Shane Carwin. Yeah id say the same thing due to Carwins lack of Cardio. But could he take a punch from someone with a guy like Carwins power?

Jon Jones(c) Vs Rashad Evans - First Round KO
Rory MacDonald Vs Che Mills - Unanimous Decision
Brendan Schaub Vs Ben Rothwell - First Round KO
Miguel Torres Vs Michael McDonald - Unanimous Decision
Mark Hominick Vs Eddie Yagin - First Round TKO
I really want Jones to top Machida's destruction of Rashad. If Rashad does pull this off, I think it will be quick like when he knocked Chuck out. I can't see Rashad just dominating Jones for 2 rounds and then ending it by sub or something. It's either Jones via destruction inside one round or Rashad by quick KO.

^ Oh man, Big Ben Rothwell coming in at 263?? Geez, I don't think that'll do any favors for him against someone like Schaub. It'll only slow him down being that heavy. You never know though, but I can see Schaub winning this one. I'd like to see Rothwell finally pick up a much needed "W", but it won't be easy against Schaub. It'll be a tough fight.

Nah, hell no. Rothwell was IN SHAPE for the first time in his career!

^ Wow...I can't friggin' believe it. I didn't see the weigh-ins, so I only assumed Rothwell was still in the same flabby shape he's been in for a while and obviously looking at that pic above, I assumed WRONG!! He looks in GREAT shape!!
I really hope he wins because at this point, I think this fight is do or die for his UFC career. If he loses this one to Schaub, his career in the UFC is in jeopardy, in my opinion.
Only a few short hours away now. I can't wait!! I'm really lookin' forward to this one. Should be a great night of fights.

Split decision, the flips were more entertaining than the fight.

Prelims were boring for the most part, hope the main show delivers.

10-9 yagin... he throws every punch with everything he has, awesome. hominick started figuring out his size advantage towards the end of the round though.

10-9 hominick, 19-19.... awesome round, this is a war. hominick landed at will, yagin landed the biggest shot... but man, hominick just kept putting his left on yagins nose/chin.
