While I was rooting for Rampage I had a feeling Bones would of win.
UFC, etc.

I doubt Rashad will last as long as Rampage did.

Rashad got KO power...Good Standup & Wrestling....His chin has been decent until Machida...He's a much better test...He can atleast go 4 a takedown....He gotta beat the reach factor....You cant stand there and try to counter like Rampage did...

The one thing Rashad has that Quinton definetly doesnt is movement...Quinton stands so flat footed and doesnt really bounce. Hes a very stationary target which is why its so easy to also kick his legs out. Hes got all his weight planted and just since he doesnt check the kicks he absorbs the whole impact.

Whoever it is, they will have to close the distance. If they do not do that, they will lose, and that's that.
I think Rashad has a better chance too,Rampage is a one dimensional fighter and is just too predictable.Rashad is a much smarter fighter than Rampage imo and a smart game planner.Rampage pretty much just goes in there to swing.

Yeah.. I think Jones will destroy Evans about as fast as he did Shogun.

I agree, I think his reach advantage will prove tough for anyone along with his unorthadox striking and you have a really bad mix for anyone coming up. Plus as mentioned his body type is that of A. Silva so I too think he'll have that belt for a while. Only way I see him getting beat is someone gets in close enough to land that one good shot.

Only problem is unlike Silva, Jon Jones is a wrestler himself. So while that might be a slight weakness for Silva (I say slight because Silva's defeated every wrestler he's faced so far) I don't see that being a problem for Jones. He's already outwrestled Bader, O'Brien AND Matyushenko, 3 accomplished collegiate wrestlers with more wrestling experience than him. Even though based on what happened, it didn't look like it.
I thought the same thing about Sonnen...He really gets in there for the takedown...
I think Rashad has more of a 1 punch power then Jones...Still havent seen Jones get hit...Someone has to go in there swinging....Also dont know who the better wrestler is in Jones v Evans...But Rashad has to go in this fight knowing how to counter the reach factor...

Rashad is definitely a more accomplished collegiate wrestler, but in the Octagon...who knows?
Bones does not have one punch KO power like Evans does, but I don't think Evans will be able to get close enough to use it.
I truly think Machida poses the most dangerous threat to Bones title reign.
After Machida, perhaps Thiago Silva?
On roids, of course.

Thiago Silva on Roids vs. Jones = a spanking. Literally.
Followed by another suspension.

I love Silva, too.
Always see him going into the local Starbucks by my job. Awesome dude. Hopefully, he puts the PED's down for good.
