I can see the latter of those two options happening, Jones will have to catch him in a bad spot to submit him but hey it could happen, Jones is a beast.

Rumble has been submitted before. in fact I think all of his losses are by submission

All except the fight vs Burns early in his career, he got TKO'd due to an eye injury so yeah it's very possible for him to get submitted, he seems to especially succumb to the rear-naked choke.

That 'TKO' was one of the biggest bullshit decisions ever. obvious eye poke that should have been rules a NC.

Agreed, especially seeing as the rematch that took place months later ended in like a 25 second knockout by Rumble.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Rumble is one bad hombre and I'll be rooting for his woman beating ass against Jones, but he should be a sizable betting dog. I'd say +300 sounds right without looking

Only watched two matches from UFC 183.

Iaquinta vs Lauzon was good, I was totally pulling for Iaquinta to win. The dude delivered some lightning fast strikes and when he finally got Lauzon reeling, he kept himself composed, didn't rush and finished him off in a good TKO fashion.

Silva vs Diaz was good, it was definitely nice to see the Spider coming back after 13 months. My favorite round would have to be #1, I was entertained the most in that round.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Strangely I didn't even bother to watch. Watched the Warriors game, sort of forgot about the PPV and then saw Silva had won, which you knew was going to happen. I used to be the biggest Diaz fan, but he is just going through the motions at this point in his career. Good for him I guess, but I don't get excited to see him fight anymore. I hope this PPV didn't sell as well as UFC expected frankly.

 

[Prince Bálor]

I couldn't be arsed to watch the entire thing, either. Just watched those two matches I listed up above. But yeah, Silva winning was predictable, but Diaz was quite alright.

Rousey vs Zingano is something I'm looking forward to seeing this month, actually.

As far as the PPV buys go, well... It seems that Phil 'CM Punk' Brooks dude is probably going to help 'em later in the year.

lol we will see on that.

Rousey is going to destroy Cat, just like she destroys everyone.

Yes, indeed.

There's no doubt in my mind Ronda's gonna own that ass.

 

[Majour]

Tate vs McCann was pretty good.
Diaz vs Silva was also great. Diaz being a total prick (as always)

Didn't watch any of the other matches.

I'd take him at that.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I'd take him at that.

I was slightly off, he opened at +245

As much as I'd love to see him destroy Jones, no way in hell I'd risk money rooting against Jones.

Jones by sub.

I'll probably throw a few dollars down, nothing crazy..

So it turns out that both Silva and Diaz failed drug tests. Silva failed a random test in early January when traces of two different steroids were found. Nick Diaz positive for marijuana metabolites in a post fight test.
