Jones vs Machida

[JoeBlow55]

machida is worth a bet. a real one.

[Drunken Cat]

Jones is an obvious favorite. Machida will give him some new looks though. Tough to see him winning quite frankly, but you never know. This has been one of those fights people have been waiting for for quite some time.

I thought jones was on a 180day suspension to let him recover from injuries sustained from his last fight.

Those are standard suspension and can be lifted if they're cleared by another doctor.

Jones by epic destruction.
Machida is 1-3 in his last 4 and is on a amazing one fight winning streak consisting of KOing a 48 year old completely shot glass jaw Randy Couture.
Machida lost both fights against Shogun and he did lose a close fight against Rampage(Rampage won rnd 1-2=win) and look what Jones did to them.
Also the monstrous size difference, Machida is 6 ft and has 72-73 inch reach......
Jones is 6'4 and has 84'5 inch reach and is soo much stronger then Lyoto Machida.
Lets not forget that Jones has the best wrestling in the div's even if he had a hard time getting Rampage down, He has rag dolled every wrestler and fighter infront of him except Rampage.
Only time we have seen Lyotos TDDs is against a massively shot Tito ortiz.
Sorry guys!
Machida's magic "Karate" is not going to do ****.
At least Machida will be dominated on the scorecards if he doesn't get finished.

Rampage is a much tougher fight then Machida or Evans. Jones will tool him the way Shogun did with his kicks but since he's so long he can do it safe from a distance, be a slow first 3 rounds with Jones leg kicking the hell out of him, then Jones probably stops him in the 4th once Machida slows down.

[Taaj Manzoor]

This should be a great fight. Machida might be too crafty for bones.

[Boxingtech718v2]

Easy win for Jones, will surprise a lot of people how easy it will be. Machida will try to back pedal and dodge around as usual. He will eat some long jabs from across the cage. Then get flying knee'd again. The scouting report is out on Machida he doesn't like pressure. Look for Jones to rush him and deliver some punishment. If that doesn't work look for Jones to take him down and tool him with GnP.

Next up after: Henderson or King Mo

[McAlister]

Eeeeee.. I think this fight is a toss up... I know styles make fights but Machida owned Evans... real easy


I have to think about this one

Lol really?

Rampage now days is not much more then a sloppy brawler with good tdd.. was vastly smaller in comparison to Jones and got tooled. I don't think much of Evans/Machida chances but they have far more variety then current day Rampage.

I agree, all Rampage seemed to do was throw telegraphed hooks with both hands (even as Rogane implored him to throw more legkicks).
