Lots of potential wack fights on the main card with only Healy/Miller being the only one I think will be good
Indeed. I've said this before. Jon can Guillotine choke Chael on any shot he takes and finish the fight anytime he wants. I truly believe that. He can also put Chael on his ass and overpower him with a sub anytime he wants. Jones can power sub people. It's not even technique.
The only question is, will he want to finish him with strikes? I think he will and try to stop Chael with on the feet just to see if he can. If it gets into the third he'll just take him down and stop him with strikes.
I mean he's only born in '87

This is the fight that sticks out to me when I think about Jones moving up to HW. If your ,not to say scared but worried about Rashad's punching power and Rashad's striking then what happens when he faces bigger strong and better strikers than him? Especially those strong enough to stuff his takedowns, or maybe even just flat out better wrestlers than him, such as a Cain, or JDS's take down defense. Even Cain had problems with that in that 5 round drumming last fight still.
Apparently it's trending like a motherfukker. It's equal to GSP VS Diaz right now. It looks like it's going to be a huge one if the people actually buy it.

Head KO rd2
Leonard KO rd2 providing he doesn't go to the ground and get submitted. If he loses he has to get cut
Khabilov TKO rd2
Mcmann UD
Ovince UD
Caraway UD
Miller UD(possible FOTN) Miller is just miles ahead talent wise over Healy. Looked damn sharp striking with Lauzon.
Davis UD. Davis wrestling will be too much for Vinny. I still don't buy into Magalhaes. I dont care if he crushed all those cans in M-1. He has no answer for Davis except on the ground and I highly doubt he can get him there. Plus Davis has a strong top game and provided he doesn't get into a grappling battle, he should be fine
Nelson TKO rd 1. fukk Kongo. Hes old, his chin is shot, and he has no way of finishing Nelson. He can't cage hump his way to victory like he did against Jordan. If Mir can drop Kongo striking I don't see any reason why Roy's right shouldn't
Bisping UD This could go either way given both guys penchant for choking. Belcher is a heavier striker with good kicks. Bisping is a more technical striker with improved offensive wrestling. I just see Bisping controlling Belcher with strikes and TD similar to Stann. Provided Bisping doesn't fall too much in love with his striking and his footwork doesn't lead him right into a KO shot, I will take him for the win.
Jones by however the fukk he wants to win, whenever, and wherever. Do I need to explain? The only way Sonnen has a snowball's chance is if Jones blows out his knee or something. And even then, we saw him with one arm defeat a much better fighter in Vitor.

It wont do better the GSP/Diaz but it will definitely do 500k

I can't believe 8 people picked Sonnen, smh. Pros Pick: Jones vs. Sonnen
and I bet when Jones moves up, they are going to have him fight someone weak like Cormier.. Cormier is trying to bait him. I don't believe he will cut weight to go down to fight Jones.
Anyway, does anyone know why Sonnen is supposed to be some sort of ganster??
