I know the last couple main events were close, but this fight seems so hard to call. It really could go either way, Jones dominating as he has been or Shogun Ko'ing the fuck out of him...unlike most fights I have no clue where to stand
LOL
Bone via early TKO/KO
Snarl Snatch - Vitor/Anderson was harder to call...so was Penn/Fitch.
I'm pretty convinced Shogun takes this, although Jones has a chance.
Penn/Fitch was very hard to call as well.
But most people were pretty certain vitor was being overrated in that fight. They turned out to be right.
This is a tough fight... i've been flip flopping all day. Jones is just very surprising and could pull it off.
Most all are hard to call. This is a great thing. Few squash matches in the UFC anymore.
Yea, it really is. I pride myself in my accurate predictions but this one is too tough to call.
But I think the biggest factor will be ring rust from Shogun.
I don't think Anderson/Vitor was that hard to call. You had to have alot of hope if you were a Vitor fan in that one.
I get the feeling this match is the same. Jones might just be too big, too fast, too strong. Yes he has holes, especially in his standup and his cardio is untested but I think picking Shogun in this one requires more than a fair share of hope.
I had to pick against my fav Vitor in his last fight, now I gotta pick against my #2 Shogun. I hope I'm wrong, but Jones by tko within 3 rounds.

I guess if you are a huge Vitor fan it would be hard to call. Was obvious to me Anderson would beat him. Vitor is the most overrated and inconsstant fighter ever IMO.
I am pretty convinced Jones wins tomorrow, but I like both guys and could see it going either way.
Someone put it best when they said, "Heart, Shogun...Mind, Jones."
Sums it up for me.
I agree, Shoguns knee and the long layoff really make it hard to call. Jones is a tough fight for a 100% Rua and it could be a long night for him if he comes in at 70-80%. It really says a lot about Jones that so many people consider this as close as they do
Same old, same old. We go thru this come every big fight.
D Fucking W threw Jones to the Lions.
Rua will win.
it truly could go either way

This. The only difference is Jones has looked good enough lately to make me some money at the bar. I'll be looking for a table next to some African-American gentlemen tomorrow evening to see if I can't make 4 or 5 friendly $10 bets.
Not a hard choice, Shogun by experience. And for those who were saying Vitor was overrated I agree.
Shogun all day every day.
JJ
I have money on Shogun.
Jone's best chance is his wrestling, but shogun is tricky on the ground he gets out of the bottom by working for submissions then just pops back up.....but he should be careful of jones...he's a white belt
