Card is no where near complete, still need a solid co-main event. And idk why but i really like this poster.

 

[Slim]

That poster is freakin awesome. Already made me hyped for the show all over again. Gonna be an intense awesome fight. If Jones can survive the first round he'll have a good chance at winning cause Hendo is brutal in the first few minutes. Look at his fights against Shields, Fedor, and Shogun. Each fight he took the lead first round early. Fedor was the only one that wound up being finished.

 

[The Cork]

Bones is a smart fighter and has a gameplan master like Greg Jackson to keep him safe, I don't think there's any chance he loses this fight.

Basically think he'll use his range then go in for the kill once Hendo inenvitably gasses. He isn't a 5Rd fighter, not that anyone expects him to be at 40yrs old. I don't have any questions about Jones wrestling or his chin either, the only thing Hendo has him overmatched in is one shot KO power, which is useless if you aren't landing.

Siver/Yagin is a real fun fight too. Yagin/Hominick is one of my fave fights this year.

 

[Heisenberg]

Already feel that Jon BONES Jones has this in the bag. Should be a good fight though. Sweet poster.

 

[Chase]

Hendo has two rounds of a great chance to finish Jones.

I hope Jones beats him, tired of Hendo whining for title shot fights only. Don't get me wrong Hendo is an awesome fighter, but why does he only care for title fights all the damn time. Be on the lookout for Hendo either challenging Shogun after this fight, or wanting to fight Silva again. It will most likely happen.

If I was planning Hendo's gameplan here, I would tell him to use his clinchwork against Jones, he has to negate that reach advantage and make this fight sloppy. He should just lean on him against the fence ala Randy Couture and use that big overhand right every seperation.

I got faith in Hendo.

But he should know that at every separation there will be a spinning back elbow coming for him.

If Hendo can't win in the first round... Jones has it.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Everybody is going to be taking Jones in this fight, i think I'm going with Hendo. Out of everybody Jones has fought I'm thinking he has the best shot at taking that title off him. Of course i said the same thing about Machida as well.

 

[Dale]

That's generally the funny thing with UFC buildups, they're usually the same old cliches yet it never fails to get people hyped up.

Rampage was Jones toughest opponent at the point because of his right hand, then it was Machida because of his style, then it was Evans because of his speed and wrestling.

 

[Slim]

Heh cept Hendo has a legit right hand, has a good style to match up against Jones, and also has the wrestling. So 3 out of 4 isn't bad

[No More Sorrow]

: Dennis Hallman vs. Thiago Tavares has been moved back to UFC 151 due to a few injuries on that card.

 

[The Cork]

IDK hardly anyone on this card.

Yagin/Siver and the main should be great but not a fan of Kos/Eberg and good luck selling the rest of these guys as a PPV.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Kind of thinking this could be like UFC 145 where Jones was in the main event and the rest of the card looked abysmal on paper, then the show happened and every fight ended up with a ko or something
