Mauricio Rua vs Jon Jones

Who will be the favorite with the bookies? Who you got?

Give me Shogun. Bookies will take Jones.

Jones all the way here.

I say this even b4 I factor in Rua coming off an injury, something he has struggled with in the past.

I have thought Jones was gonna be champion for a while but they maybe rushing him into this just alittle. Shogun has the advantage in this fight and if this fight happened in a year and a half or 2 years I would have Bones all the way but in 6 weeks I think Shogun is the favorite.

I have tickets for this one. Just made it that much better for me.

Jones is opening up as the favorite.

When Shogun stepped into the cage WITH shoes on he looked like a LW next to Bones.

Bookies already have jones as the fav... I got shogun by KO

lol Shogun is going to destroy Jones. Dont get me wrong, I love Jon Jones, but he's going to get ripped....especially if he comes out as reserved as he did against Bader.

who has Jones faced thats anywhere close to Shoguns lvl, i mean dont get me wrong i like the guy but shoguns aggression and power will win this

Shogun is going to leg kick him into oblivion to negate his wrestling, and use his sick hand combos to fuck with Jones.


Jones does have a nice advantage with his reach though.

I really think they shoulda had Jones wait, and face either a Rashad, Rampage, Machida, or someone of that caliber before throwing him directly in the line of fire against Shogun.

I'll take a sig bet with ya killer or regret. Bones should win this fight imo and it won't be because of Shogun's layoff. I don't think this injury set Shogun back as far as his debut against Forrest did. I think nerves from coming off the injury, surgery, and his first UFC fight had alot to do with it in that fight. Shogun is at his best now, and is the only LHW I could see pulling out a win over Bones. He better be agressive as hell if he even wants a chance at beating Jones. That said I am taking Bones FTW.

I think Jones should have had to face Rampage or Machida before getting this shot. I now Jones is the next big thing and I'll even go as far as saying he could beat Shogun but I just think he should have had to fight one of those guys before getting his turn.
