Wish UFC bought Strikeforce when Fedor wasn't at his current condition. I would like to see Fedor make the cut to light heavy.

The more I think about it, the more I think that Jones will Submit Shogun. He was HUGE against Bader, like a blanket on him. It really depends where the fight goes, Shogun wins on the feet, Jones on the mat. I truly believe that Machida is the only person who can beat Jon Jones right now at LHW.

I'm probably getting the ppv at my house. Hard for me to decide on who I think will win the main event.

I think Fedor is still in position to cut to light heavy and wreak havoc. I just don't know if he will.

Jones is gonna control Shogun on the ground IMO. And with his awkward stance and ridiculous length I think he'll be okay standing up

The problem with Shogun is he keeps his hands extremely high, which makes him easier to take down. He ate a lot of devastating knees from Machida to the ribs and liver in their fights as well due to this, look for a flying knee from Jones at some point.

One thing to keep in mind about Shogun is that he is a BJJ Black Belt.

This fight depends on where it goes, Shogun will outclass Jones on the feet and get inside that long reach of his.

Bones destroys Shogun on the ground, I understand Shogun is a BB in BJJ, but come on, Forrest Griffin beat Shogun on the ground and Forrest pales in comparison to Bones on the mat.

Shogun is definitely better standing up than Bones and will win if he can keep it standing, but if Bones can keep this fight on the mat he wins easily.
