UFC 140 - Jones vs Machida

[Kev]

You could see when Joe Rogan put them together after the Rampage fight that Rashad knows he has no chance.

The only guys who can challenge Jones imo are Anderson Silva and some of the heavyweights. I'd love to see him put on a few pounds and battle with Brock, Dos Santos and Cain...

Hard fight for Jones. Machida controls distance REALLY well...its his game. If Jones wants to try leaping in with his fancy attacks then he better watch Machidas countering. Machidas background is in karate and I did karate for years and I know two things karate taught me well...distance and counter punching Jones will take this one to the ground but it wont be easy as Machida is pretty fast on his feet.

Sick of this Evans/Jones thing, everytime they go to fight one gets injured. Just wish theyd either fight or shut up.

Rashad Evans fights for a living i doubt the thought of a title fight scares him. He didn't look scared why should he its his job! He is a great powerful wrestler who has competed at heavyweight he can deal with big guys he can get them down and thats what would happen with Jones. Not to mention his stand up looked crazy against Tito he was mixing it up with everything. Without a doubt he is the only guy in the division who could beat Jones.

Scared my arse.

Rashad is a good fighter but I think his standup looked good B/C of how bad Tito's is. I remember Rashad attempting to strike with Rampage for the first round before he decided to go straight wrestling. I'd be very surprised if he made it outside of round three against Jones.

Not with his wrestling i think if he could get Jones down he could win that fight. We haven't seen Jones on his back really and i think its a place he wouldn't like to be.

Reason ya havent seen him on his back is cos he is that good with his wrestling, to powerful for most! Plus ya have to get close to him to take him down, his reach is far superior to anyone in the division which allows him to dictate the distance and where the fight takes place in most cases.

He just hasn't fought an elite mma fighter with top tier wrestling thats why.
