Jones was a mess following the fight but he had a gold belt around his waist and a large paycheck in his pocket to produce everything worthwhile. What he also gained was some street cred one of the haters who doubted his capability to have a punch mainly because it was the only potential negative to which they could cling. I am channeling the voice of Jon Jones as of this very moment and he is saying, "Cling forget about bitches!" Indeed.

Teixeira may wish to keep this fight standing that is tantamount to challenging a cheetah to a base race. But what option does he have? As polished as his BJJ is, he wouldn't last on the mat with Jones and does have the proverbial puncher's chance. If you want to bet a few bucks on the opportunity, play the lottery. But if you want to lock in a knee of one's UFC parlay, include Jon Jones -750 in your UFC Picks freesportspicksdaily.com/topics/ufcpicks-ufcodds/
