| I'm pulling for Rampage, but I think Jones will win. |

Fedor was out. It wasn't a bad stoppage, Henderson would have continued to smash him even after he rolled over.
I think Jones will win unless Rampage can land a bomb. I haven't seen Jones take any really solid punches yet (likely because of his super-long reach), if he gets caught by one, it'll be interesting to see if he keeps it together. |
Haha, you're right about Yves; he's pretty bad too.
I agree on your last point too. I think that Rampage is too slow to land that massive punch but it's not impossible. Hopefully it turns out to be a great fight, no matter who wins. |

Rampage at one point didn't even know why to do, Rogan kept on pointing that out as well. Kinda sad. :(
Rashad is going to get a beat down, that reach advantage is just retarded...even more so with his lower style of fighting. |

The start of the fight was a big WTF moment for me, Jones crawling around like the animal-style fighter from Bloodsport.
A big LOL was had when Rampage caught him with a fairly good right, and Jones literally turned around and sprinted to the other side of the cage.
It was looking good for Rampage at the end of round 1, he took that elbow from Jones and I think gained some confidence that Jones probably wouldn't knock him out. You could see he started to be the aggressor and get inside the reach of Jones. Jones was having a hard time landing punches as well because of Rampage's great head movement. But, once Jones started unleashing more of those kicks in round 2, you could see that Rampage was going to have to land a haymaker to win the fight. He hit Jones with a couple of good stiff jabs, but for the most part, any time he got inside that reach, Jones would bolt, and good for him for doing it :p |
