UFC 128 Newark, NJ March 19 Rua vs Jones

[Luke]

Rashad Evans' new manager MalkiKawa tells me he has a minor sprain in his knee, nothing to keep him out of UFC 128.

^^^^^^^ for some reason I think theres a little bit more to the story

Money is coming in on Jones already.

Jones opened at -160 on Bookmaker and immediately shot down to -195.

I'll take Shogun as an underdog all day.

^^ I feel the same way. Jones has been dominant, but at the very least we know that he is not going to blow through Shogun. I actually still favor Shogun, but his ;ayoff does worry me. He looked like shit coming off a layoff last time.

Honestly I hope Shogun smashes him. The dude has started to believe his hype and has gotten way too big for his britches.

He's still really raw and his striking is still weak. And if he leaves his long monkey arm posted on the mat like he did against Vera, it will be on Shogun's mantle.

I wonder what will happen with Jones line..the hype is huge right now but you guys all sound like you will be betting Shogun. That makes me think the line will come back but the fight is 6 weeks away so will there be enough time for the JJ hype to die down????

Shogun @+155 is tempting. The thing is, I thought Rashad would beat Shogun. Can Jones keep the constant pressure and hold Shogun down like I thought Rashad could without getting subbed?

[MMA_scientist]

that's awesome.

[Svino]

Now that there is what we call "the stink-eye".

[SPX]

That look on Shogun's face is epic.

I will be on JJ. Shogun may sub him from his back, since he will definatly be on his back.On the feet, Shogun has him, but he will be taken down instantly. i will be waiting for a better line though.

I agree with all of this. I feel like most things you could say about Shogun vs. Jones, one could also have said about Lil Nog vs. Bader.
