This blows. I'm going to have to get NFL Sunday Ticket next year just to watch the Raven's game now.

Cool video.. Go to the 15 minute mark and Joe Rogan is teaching GSP the spinning side kick.

I know what's going on but that link doesn't even have Dana White's name in it.

I don't really know who is. It's a rough call.

Predictions for the ppv?

He just fatted on top of him, and just out pointed him.

I think Jones will TKO Bader. Im thinking he is the future of that weight class.

With his supperior reach looking for Jones with the knockout, simply a more talented fighter than Bader.

I think people are under-rating Bader. He has more power, is a better wrestler, and I believe to be the better overall fighter.

I tend to agree with everything you said, except I'm not willing to announce him as the "better overall fighter" just yet.

Also, Baders last two opponents are a hell of a lot tougher than Jones's. Bader fought Jardine and Lil Nog. Jones fought the Janitor and Vera.

If Jones can get Bader on his back, I think he is in big trouble. His 84 inch reach helps alot of the feet but even more so on the ground. He is able to deliver nasty elbows/punches even when being held in full guard. If you watch the Vera fight Jones got hit with two illegal upkicks because Vera thought there was no way his knees could be touching the ground while he was that close to him.

That said, I think Jones' striking is being a little bit overrated at this point. Sure he has some flashy moves but he has not stood up with any good strikers in the UFC. Bonner is OK, but not really a knockout threat.

It makes me laugh to hear you say that Jone's stand up is a bit overrated.

And your reason?

He took Vlad and Vera down right away. I dont exactly remember the Hamill fight but I think it went down pretty quick as well. Jake Obrien was doing well against him standing before he got submitted. He hasn't really dominated any opponent standing.

His stand up is a bit flashy with all the spinning attacks. If's he's not careful, Bader can clip him and put him out.
