Only six people picked Machida and they were all Brazilian except one guy ranting on about karate being the best striking style.

"Right now, Jones is on fire. Even if Machida drank Anderson Silva’s urine, I don’t think he can beat Jones." Joe Duarte
Hilarious!

I got Jones what do you guys think?

[Scott Yockel]

has much as I want Jones to lose, I still think he will win. I'm call in TKO late in the 3rd round.

[Jason Mallory]

Jones.

[John Mejia]

I feel like Jones's unorthodox striking is going to be a challenge for anyone in the Light heavyweight division. So JONES it is.

[Freddy Chavez]

i think it's going to be harder for jones to hurt machida the way he hurt rampage. but he'll still do it. so i think the finish will come in the 4th or 5th. a couple front kicks to machida's knees and he won't be elusive for long.

[David Rosado]

I have 3 ways this could go.

Jones by decision by controlling the distance.

Jones by TKO from GnP.

Machida via KO by finding his timing and landing a counter bomb.



The pick I'm sticking with? Jones by decision. This fight will be boring for like 2-3 rounds before somebody gets frustrated and starts to give up openings.

[David Stager]

The LHW strap is cursed. Machida takes this.

[Chicago Joe]

Jones by stoppage 1st round. Karate is back my ass lol

[Daniel Valdez]

Erik Paulson: Well, this is an interesting comparison of similar styles. I think that Jones may be surprised at Machida’s ability to break in and out and break the rhythm. I think that Machida is going to be surprised that Jones also is very deceptive with his bag of tricks and athleticism. Plus, Jones has the length and that super reach. I still gotta go with the champ -- Jones.

My favorite explanation and I must agree with it. Although I am rooting for Machida.

Machida is defiantly his toughest challenge yet but i see Evans as the real contender at the moment.
