So what do you think guys? The Pride legend and current champ vs the seemingly invincible newcomer. I'm gonna be rooting for Shogun. But I'm pretty nervous about this one.

I want shogun to win just so him and lyoto can have a rubber match and lyoto can win his belt back.
Jones is starting to act like a cocky bitch, and i hope he gets submitted on the ground, OR he gets flatout embarrassed on his feet because im tired of stupid ass spinng back elbows orcflying spinning backfist its annoying.

I really like both fighters, but Shogun is a murderer. It'll be a good fight, but I think Shogun is going to wreck him.

It's been a while since I've been so pumped for a fight. Why is the 205 division so much better than the others? I got shogun in the 2nd tko

I'm rooting for shogun too. Jon Jones is gonna be LHW and HW champ one day, just not yet. I'm curious to see shogun's game plan plays out. Jones is so long. I say shogun should attack one of his long legs and crank a knee bar. But Jones is so dang big.

Jones' body is a wrecking machine. Crazy long reach, fast, strong, throws, subs, the whole nine yards. He probably will be the champ one day, but hopefully not this weekend.

The larger the fighters the more charismatic and epic the clash. You might think then the HW division should be better than the LHW, but LHW lets fighters to be large aggressive guys who have one puch knockout power or deliver insanely hard kicks AND have gas and athleticism to back it up.

I just recognized something as I was watching older Shogun fights. When Rua faces an opponent that has a very long reach advantage, he wins by GnP. Overeem, Diabate all ended the same way. Jones has huge reach but can Shogun GnP Jones?
