I didn't use it because I thought you were whining, which didn't occur to me. I used it because I envisioned you sitting at home watching the PPV by yourself. Forever alone.

Edit: I must have missed where someone already explained, my bad.

robj55;1148975 wrote:Me too, should headline 150 along with 1 or 2 other title fights. I'm sure 150 will be just as big as 100 was if not bigger, they will try and stack it up.

robj55;1148008 wrote:Rashad is going to have to get on the inside to win this fight, he doesn't have the arsenal to beat Jones from the outside. I think Jones is going to try and prove a point about how good he really is and is going to try and dominate Rashad and humble him. I see Rashad getting frustrated that he won't be able to get Jones down, and Jones will frustrate him on the feet with a wide array of attacks. Eventually they clinch up and Jones puts Rashad on his ass and puts a hurting on him with elbows and punches. I could see Jones submitting him but I think he may try and KO or TKO him instead because of the bad blood. Jones by stoppage within 2 rounds.

Raw Dawgin' it;1149056 wrote:He probably hits harder than anyone Jones has fought - if he connected it might be lights out. He has the wrestling to keep it standing and he could probably find a way to get inside. If Bonnar could connect a few times i'm sure Hendo could rock Jones.

But i agree, would rather see him fight evans for an easier road to the belt.

As long as Jones doesn't get caught off guard by a good jab/hook, he should be able to maintain dominance. If Rashad tries to shoot in on him, it could end badly for Evans.
