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)

I hope Glover puts him to sleep. Choke or KO, doesn't matter to me.

Some of the matchups are bad, but at least they have the names top to bottom to keep interest if it turns into a short or boring night. Even their shitty fight pass main fight has names.

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.

I honestly think Jones finishes him in the 1st round via TKO. Phil Davis will submit Rumble.

Gotta go with Jones. He has now proven he is on tough sob as well as being one of the most physically gifted fighters mma has ever seen.

I think he will pass fedor as the GOAT as well.

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.

I haven't paid much attention to the UFC for about a year...

Is it just that I'm behind, or is this card incredibly shitty apart from Jones vs. Teixiera?

The Return of Gomi makes it worth it.

No, that is a shite card besides the ME. There are a lot of "names" on the card so it should do well

Jon Jones is tired of Chuck Liddell talking shite and would welcome a super fight with him.
