I'm hoping he has some kind of crazy knockout again, dude is 20-0 in kickboxing fights and so far 6-0 in MMA.

I like Jones. Only time I haven't been rooting for him so far was the Machida fight.

Hope he takes this one too. He can use his massive reach advantage to keep Rashad at a comfortable distance and pick him off. With Rashad's chin, he should be able to finish him.

Ordered tickets yesterday. Definitely gonna be there. Hoping to get some good pictures while there.

Jones is gonna have the reach but Rashad is definitely gonna have some speed as well so we'll see how the fight goes.

200+ dollar tickets. Gonna be in the lower bowl of the arena. I'm psyched for it.

Dana said at the presser that Tito/Griffin is a possibility for this event.

I thought I heard Tito/Griffin was scheduled for one of the Fox events?

Well it was talked about for a Fox event, but it's also being talked about for this show as well but they might not even do it at all now i guess, or it's at least on hold for a while.

I hope it happens at this show. Would make it even better. This show needs at least one more big fight.

I'm not a fan of either Ortiz or Griffin, but it would make a decent co-main event for this show considering the circumstances of it being Tito's last fight, and for that reason alone is the only reason I'd want to see him get a win.

Would be good to add it to this event to give it that extra name value. Jones vs. Evans will draw plenty but having Ortiz on there will just boost it that bit extra. Would be good to see that feud over with as well and then maybe both guys will even retire after the fight.

Hoping that's the case but knowing Tito he'll try for a comeback in about a year.

Tito still young... I could see him trying. At least he would still at least be able to take a punch :D
