| I think Jones can sell more tickets. Especially the way he has been talking before this fight. Then you have the "Trash Talk" between him and shad.
Going to be my first live event I just hope it is not a fast one. | |

| Bones winning would be better because he is pretty much undefeated and he is american. If he wins he would be alot more marketable than Rua. | |

| I don't think either will hurt or help too much more than the other.
Even if Jones loses, he can make his way back and have a long run as champ like GSP. The rematch would be epic.
If Jones wins then we have a new star at 205 and the belt continues to be traded often. No one has had 2 defenses since Chuck in '06. And even when someone had one Machida it was BS and he lost it in the rematch. Rampage's defense was a title unification which I guess still counts.
Ultimately Jones becoming champ and a star will help the UFC most. It doesn't have to happen right now though. It just needs to be a great show. Maybe a 4-5 round war with a decision finish. | |

| I agree with Farmer. Whoever wins, it'll be good for the UFC. Shogun is a worldwide MMA icon, and a legend of the sport...if his legacy continues, itll get people to watch.
Jones is the cocky, young american that isnt known worldwide, but with his brash arrogance, itll cause alot of the foreign countries to dislike him...BUT...they will STILL watch, because they will want to see him lose.
Either way, its a win win for the UFC. I am hoping to see Shogun win. | |

| To the hardcore fan it doesn't really matter but if the UFC wants to capture those part time viewers, younger viewers and more African American viewers then I think Jon Jones would be better. I actually think Dana wants Jones to win. I personally don't care who wins as I am a big fan of both. |

| Shogun is good for worldwide and Jones is good for America. I like both guys so it doesn't matter to me who wins. | |

| Actually I think Jones would be better worldwide as he speaks English and is more marketable. |

| Don't really think it makes a huge difference. Shogun isn't a hard fighter to market. No matter what city they're in the place goes apeshit for him when he comes out and he certainly makes for action fights. Plenty of mileage out of a fight with Rashad, rematch with Rampage, etc | |

| I personally think its better if Shogun wins. Bones has forever to win the belt and be a great champion but Shogun is definitely closer to the end of his career than the begining so I would say its better for the UFC tomorrow if Shogun wins. | |

| Jones! If he wins I dont see him losing for a while, the way I see it Shogun is the clear best at 205 if Jones runs threw him it says alot. | |
