This is what I've read as well.

The potential for this card is amazing.

You know Dana White is going to go all out and make this a good.

How much of a chance do you give JDS to win?

Bigdaddy I give JDS a very fair chance just on the fact that Cain has been out due to injury. Very tough fight for Cain to walk back into. I still favor Cain but I think JDS will give him all he wants.

A big chance honestly, Cain is coming off a year layoff and he is not the best defensive striker. He was rocked 3 times by Cheick Kongo and JDS's standup is better than Cheick's. Comes down to JDS's wrestling and ability to keep the fight on the feet.

Rashad should be healthy to fight by the end of the year I would think. Machida needs one more top 10 win imo and if he fights Phil Davis he will have the opportunity to get that. It could be Forrest if he can beat Shogun again honestly.

lol i'm not a fan either, but I don't think he's that boring. Depends on who he's fighting, he's been more conservative since Machida made him swallow some teeth lol

Yeah, that def showed in his fight with Rampage after the Machida knockout lol. He wanted nothing to do with exchanging, or really anything but takedowns and lay n pray. Oh well, maybe he'll be healthy in time for Bones to run through him

Are we being serious? After Forrest was embarrassed by Silva and struggled immensely against Tito? Griffin is NOT ready for a title shot.

Dead serious, who else would be deserving? That would be his third strait win over top 10 competition, after Rashad this is the only thing that makes sense. It's not about whether he's ready or not either, styles make fights and if people want to see it Dana and the UFC will probably make it happen. All of the guys that are in that top 5-8 in that division are always one or two wins away from a title shot imo.
