Just a reminder - Jon Bones Jones

JBJ fights Rashad Evans this Saturday. Can't wait.

There is a video of him training with Art on ESPN.com. Just a little preview of some MMA show.

Where is the "dislike" button when you need it.

Bones is going to destroy him.

I dont know about destroy. Jones has a ton of talent...but Rashad is pretty darn good too. He has only been beat once and it was because he strayed from his game plan. I truly think that Rashad has the tools to beat Jon. Will that happen? Who knows, Jon has the ability to end the fight at anytime...so does Rashad. I just hope its competitive and clean.

If it wasn't a saturday it would probably be easier to find. Would have said Stout might have had it but being saturday night i doubt it.

Rashad going to try to take him down like he did vs Davis ...and I don't think he can keep him down. Just don't see it.

JBJ by Guillotine (or that funky standing D'arce he did vs Machdia) in 1st or 2nd when Evans tries a takedown.

Also, the undercard looks like a friggin boxing undercard.
Torres v McDonald will be good...but a bunch of no-namers and guys on their way down (Schaub, Hominick)

Gocuse I know you have been looking forward to this fight, and I agree with you I think rashad has a chance in this fight. He'll probably be the first person to take Jones down so it will be interesting to see how he fights off his back, and it will be interesting to see rashads boxing against jones striking, but with that said I think Jones wins this fight.

Also the 13th step usually has UFC ppv's

Watch Chad Griggs (Heavyweight) on the prelimins. Dude is a beast.

Browne/Griggs is actually a real interesting fight. Why the is that on the prelims and Schaub/Rothwell is on the main?

I just hit P2P4U.net for all of my game/bout watching.

Hopefully NYS gets smart soon with MMA. How about a Jon Bones Jones fight in Syracuse or at MSG. Hopefully that will happen sooner than later. Here is a very recent article.

No way JBJ will lose, he's way too good for Light Heavyweight, and is on his way to Heavyweight soon anyways.

Well I would think that as well, and I am sure it is going to happen. But dont be surprised if Rashad tries to work his stand up first, he saw the success that Machida had utilizing his speed (Machida won the first round against Jon). Rashad has speed and shiftiness on his feet and will likely look to out manuver Jon's unorthadox style to start. Once he has Jon thinking about that he will look to take him down. Thats my thoughts...but who knows.

Sometimes to be honest, the fights you dont think will be that exciting turn out to be the best. I disagree on your guys on the way down. Hominick had a great fight with Aldo and has been the only one to look competitive against him and then he got caught with a flash knock out in his last fight. Schaub...i am not sure I have even been that impressed with him. But thats just me
