I'm a fan of Jon Jones, and I think he gets a lot of undeserved hate off the online community thinking he's cocky, honestly just personality wise he is  ing boring, you have Rampage who likes trash talking though and has a lot of personality, he's going to talk back, he comes of arrogant. What do you guys think of Jon Jones on here, just wondering? Moving on, going in to this fight I see Rampage testing Jone's jaw and probably knocking him out. |

I was on the Jones bandwagon since he came to the UFC but since the Bader fight I have jumped off....

Jones doing an interview with a british accent acting like a spy is exactly why i don't like the guy...

I love Jones for the same reason I love Rashad. I love the cockiness and confidence. It never reaches a level of disrespect though, which is why I fail to see the reason behind the hate they get.

Jon Jones (c) Vs Rampage Jackson - Second Round Submission
Matt Hughes Vs Josh Koscheck - First Round KO
Travis Browne Vs Rob Broughton - First Round TKO
Nate Diaz Vs Takanori Gomi - Unanimous Decision
Ben Rothwell Vs Mark Hunt - First Round KO
Big fan of Jones here. I hope he smashes Rampage, but if Rampage comes in this fight ready to throw down I could see him possibly closing the distance and landing a big hook. But that's really his only chance of winning. Rampage has to land that "one" punch. If not, Jones is going to make it a long, long night for Page. Either Jones picks Rampage apart for 2 and half rounds then gets a TKO over a worn out and gassed Rampage, like he did with Shogun, or Jones smothers Page with brutal ground and pound and gets an early sub. I see this being a damn good fight regardless.
Even though Kos has been out for a little over 6 months I can't see Hughes winning this, unfortunately. I mean Hughes has been talking about possibly retiring again and how he's taking fights that merely interest him. Sounds a lot like Randy before he fought Lyoto, and we know how that turned out. I see Kos getting the early finish over Hughes, but dammit, I'm hoping we don't see K-1 Hughes on Saturday!

funny thing is that I like Rashad now...the guy is such a great fighter...the way he manhandled Tito impressed me...
I am hoping Rampage wins by UD or KO...
Hughes wins by sub...
and Gomi wins by TKO.

Here's to hoping that Rampage comes out to this song for the fight...
If he does, I'm going to immediately put every dime I have on him to win. #unstoppable

"I just outed the spy on Sport Center,its come on top who he is but out of respect 2 #mucslepharm I won't tweet his name,he's done em!" Rampage tweeted this. Soon after, the Executive Vice President of MusclePharm resigned from the company. Honestly though, I figured it had to do with MusclePharm, because that brand has sponsored Greg Jackson fighters for some time now. Shame. |

Dana White was downtown Denver tonight, and I hadn't been able to afford tickets. As usual, he did the tweet a location thing, and I was able to snag a couple, so now I'll be live, 3 rows up from the floor, watching the event. I'm so freaking stoked I can't put it into words.

I have a bet with a friend that Jon "Bones" Jones will beat Rampage Jackson in the second round. I think it will be another win for Jones, but it will be a great challenge.

te-huna by ko, mizugaki by dec, assuncao by ko, ring by sub, ferguson by ko
diaz by dec [fotn], browne by ko, rothwell by sub [sotn], koscheck by dec, jones by ko [kotn]
yea, rampage never gets knocked out unless its by knees. and yea, hes probably my favorite fighter ever. but i believe bones is special, perhaps anderson silva special. we'll see tonight.
koscheck and hughes i can see a somewhat boring grind it out fight. id love to see hughes win if thats what happens... but yea, gimme kos.
diaz and gomi should be an outright ball... and if hunt can keep it standing with rothwell, its only a matter of time before he knocks him out. thus why i think rothwell will take him down as quick as he possibly can, and grind out a sub.

I'm not going to buy in to the Jon Jones hype till I see a couple more fights. Exactly. That's alot like how I feel. Granted, he's looked vicious so far, but that was against talent like "The Janitor", Bonnar, Hammil, Bader, Vera and former champ Shogun Rua. This fight with Rampage Jackson will be a VERY tough test for him. ALOT tougher than most would like to believe. It'll be interesting, that's for sure. And I know I'll be watching!! Can't wait!! |

Damn, that was a short punch too. Shows the kind of power he has.
