UFC 145

[SPX]

I like Rashad at +400.

I bet against Jones pretty much every single fight, it is bound to hit at some point.

I feel the same way.

[poopoo333]

I think Jones wins...I hope it's a competitive fight though.

[SPX]

I imagine Jones will win, but it won't last forever.

Eventually Jones's Mike Brown/Shogun/Edgar etc will come along.

[poopoo333]

I'll make that decision after UFC 145...

but seriously, assuming Jones beats Rashad in normal Jones fashion, who do you think will beat Jones in the next 2 years?

I really don't think anybody has a shot at beating Jones, unless Gustafsson somehow molds into a T3D machine with uber striking

[SPX]

Who knows. Maybe Anderson Silva moves up to LHW permanently. Though honestly, I'm not sure that Silva could beat him.

[poopoo333]

I don't see Silva moving up. I'm actually unsure what he does after Chael destroys him

[SPX]

I think that if Chael beats him then either a) the loss gets his competitive spirit going and he throws all his energy into avenging the loss, b) he moves to LHW, or c) retires.

I could see any of the three.

John Alessio(Boceks opponent) is not that bad. In fact his record is pretty decent. I could see Bocek losing this. That said, I have never seen Alessio fight so I don't know shit. If his ground is weak he is fucked.

Rashad/Jones. This one will be close. Rashad is fast and a good wrestler. He definetly has a good shot against Jones. I expect him to lose though. Jones beat the shit out of so many good fighters.

The rory che mills fight. I don't know much about Che mills but yeah I feel the absurdity with the line. WTF.

Miguel/Mcdonald. I think Mcdonald might have better striking than Miguel. His wrestling might be good enough to keep it standing as well. I wouldn't be suprised to see him win. That said Miguel is still good,especially on the ground.

[SPX]

The only time I remember seeing Alessio fight was when I bet against him in his fight with Luigi Fioravanti. He was getting beaten pretty decisively before putting Mario's brother's lights out with a KO punch.

[MMA_scientist]

Alessio is the guy that got arm barred off the ropes by Galvao isn't he? He really is not that bad, he is a rightful dog, but he is big for LW. He doesn't suck. I think he fought most of his career at WW and MW.

Damn, Stephen Thompson's line is fucking gay. Hopefully money will come in on Brown.

I like Griggs at that line.

Just took Danzig at -140.

I like..I think Escudero is getting respect because the last 30 seconds of the Volkmann fight.

[SPX]

I like..I think Escudero is getting respect because the last 30 seconds of the Volkmann fight.

I think Escudero is a solid fighter, but Danzig is probably better than he's generally given credit for. He subbed Bocek, beat Stevenson, and fought a really close fight with Wiman. And you can't really fault him for losing to Guida or Jim Miller.

The Neer loss is a little questionable, but then again, Neer is pretty good and would probably also beat Escudero.
