Glad to see Gomi back.


Has Jones ever really faced anyone with the power that Glover has? Maybe Vitor?

It'll be really interesting to see how Jones does against such a strong boxer with a great ground game.

IMO Glover needs to keep the pressure on Jones. If he waits to counter I think he'll be in trouble. Glover has great TDD but once he's taken down can he hand Jones' g'n'p?

frick it, I'll pick Glover and Rumble Johnson for the upsets (although I'm sure both will lose)

Agreed. I think that is his only answer to Jones' reach and length. I think he's the type of guy that can, and will, move forward the entire fight. I think he will impress some people if/when this fight goes to the ground.

I like Jones, but, I will take a shot at the upset and go with Glover.

Vitor, Rashad, Rampage, Shogun

I only see Glover winning if JJ does something flashy/stupid and gets caught. If JJ fights smart, he should win easily. Glover is just too slow.
