Thats still quite a bit of weight. I know he didn't expect to be fighting this soon but what the fuck? That would be like Jon Fitch fighting at featherweight.2013: +8.24u(increased unit size on 5/19)

I mean, think about it. The gap between BW and FW is only 10 pounds but HW is everything from 206 to 265.
Vitor's a middleweight and he said he cut . . . what? . . . 30 pounds?I heart cockComment

You have to remember that it's all relative. The lower in weight you go, the more significant a pound is.

215 to 185 isn't near as significant as 250 to 205. Thats 18% of his total weight that he would cut in a matter of a couple months or so. 215 to 185 is only just under 14%. It is all relative, and I wasn't talking so much as an advantage. I meant "what the fuck?" the same way I react when I see Anthony Johnson dwarfing Andrei Arlovski in mass and then fighting at 170lbs. It's honestly a wonder why someone cuts THAT much weight or loses such self control as to gain it between fights.Triple-six killers in this motherfucker runnin shitComment

Its tough. I feel like Jones should be able to win this but Shogun is Shogun. He KO'd Machida. Before that hardly anyone even HIT the guy. I'd like to know exactly what Shoguns BJJ credentials are. I know he won some big titles, but I think they were at lower belts. Still impressive though. I am pretty sure Jon will get him down pretty easily, he is just so god damn good with his takedowns and Shoguns wrestling sucks. Once he gets on top he is brutal too. Shogun does have laser like aim though.1 unit = 300 $Comment

I think Jones is going to win. He is bigger, stronger, and a good wrestler. I basically view this fight the same I did as the Rashad/Shogun fight, except Rashad probably has the better sub defense/striking defense. If this makes it to the later rounds and Shogun is still fresh, I think he will probably get the finish. Jones slows down in his fights that aren't his quick destructions: against Gusmao and Bonnar (IIRC Gusmao chopped the shit out of Jones' leg), and I think he started to slow down a little bit in the 2nd round against Bader.Comment
