Excited for the fight. Suga is the best guy jones has matched up against. Jones is still looking flawless, but a rashad win wouldn't surprise me at all.
If jones wins this fight, the LHW div is in for a long title reign. Suga is the other best guy in the division by a big margin

I think Jones will mop the floor with Suga.
I disagree. I think Machida is the other best guy in the division. He kept up with jones and was the first to punch jones in the face when the went up against each other.
That may be true but I think Anderson Silva could whip his ass, even with the weight difference

If you ask me Jones was exposed in the Machida fight. He does not like to eat a good punch. There were a few times he looked a little wide eyed when Machida connected. And Rashad isn't going to sit in his wheel house like everyone seems to do. I think in the majority of the fights bones has had out side of Shogun and Machida his opponents are already beaten mentally buying into the JBJ hype.

No doubt he finished Machida. But the groundwork was laid in regards to beating him...Don't sit at the end of his range. Constantly pressure him, and put some leather on his face. I think Rashad is going to put him on his back (hes the best wrestler that JBJ has faced) and beat on him for 5 rounds. If theres a KO its going to be spectacular and thats from either dude. Rashad is too smart and has too much experience.
Did you see how Rashad looked during the Phil Davis fight. That was the "Lets get this rookie outta here quick" look. I think hes on a mission.

I love Machida, but damn he got cooked.
It's going to be interesting. Nobody in the world can handle many of those right hands from Rashad.
It's like a fast cross until you see the slow-mo, then you can see that it is like a wicked fast roundhouse starting in the US and ending in China. And, you don't want your chin to be found anywhere within that journey! Just ask Chuck Liddel.

Personally, I would not be shocked if either won. Rashad knows Jones' style better than anyone else, first off, and I think Rashad is definitely the solid #2 fighter in that division, in other words, I think he would beat any other LHW at this point in time.
Rashad is a smart fighter, but he has to keep his emotions in check if he's going to win this one. I'm really sick of hearing his whining about being dissed by Jones. Dude sounds like a 12 year old girl. Just buck up and fight, dude.
