Jones must've really been trying to hide something pretty damn bad to flee the scene on foot. What was he hiding that running could've been the better option?

I just love how losing to a crackhead gets you another shot at the title. I hope Rumble destroys him

There was nothing rational about his thinking that day:

(1) Hits someone at intersection;
(2) Never checks on them;
(3) leaves the scene;
(4) Comes back to the scene to get money;
(5) leaves the scene with weed in the car;
(6) Never comes back.

I'd bet he was coked out of his mind - and in his coke fueled mind, he did what made sense to him - which for cokeheads is universally self preservation (or at least what they believe to be self-preservation).

We will see him again though, the same way we saw Strawberry and Doc Gooden again. He is too talented and there is too much money for that not to happen.

Having said that, he is so talented, I could see him winning a belt again - even if he never really kicks his coke habit. He will, however, never be what he could have been.

I also bet he never fights at 205 again. He will end up coming back as a heavyweight sometime in mid to late 2016.

So, I'm thinking that Rumble is a slight favorite to win, am I correct?

Seems like a toss up though.

I would assume, though I have not seen the Vegas odds. If the Rumble that fought Gus shows up, it could be a short night for Cormier. However, I think Cormier will keep it interesting by taking it to the ground early and often.

Cormier is a slight betting favorite. Most sites have him around -135. He should win imo unless he gets clipped early, but he has shown to have a pretty good chin even if he does.

Yea, I just don't see Rumble beating DC. DC is just too well rounded.

I think he is going to have trouble getting rumble to the ground. rumble has very good takedown defense.

Not really, Rumble has never beaten the only person DC lost to. 1 UFC loss versus 4. It's kind of funny that you're still salty about DC pointing out that your boy is a douche.

I hope DC wins because Anthony Johnson physically assaults women.

Everyone's worried about the drugs out of the ring with Jones. While inside the octagon, we have Belfort who is basically a walking pharmaceutical company. They better piss test him till the cows come home and are sure he plays nice.

Crazy that someone who was elite in the late 90s is STILL elite in 2015.
