I can't believe nobody is talking about why Shogun is a underdog and why more than likely he will lose! Its simple, yet no one want's to talk about it on any thread I've seen. I know why the UFC doesn't talk about it. They're trying to sell a fight. Shogun will NOT BE 100%!!!!!! When Shogun is a 100% he is the best of the best! When you take any athlete who is the best in their sport, any sport...football, basketball, etc. and that person has a knee surgery. When they comeback from the surgery they don't comeback as the best player anymore...it takes time to get back to that elite status! The last time Shogun had knee surgery, he was dominated by Forrest and barely beat a gassed Mark Coleman. It took time for him to get back to his elite status. The same is true now and I won't even get into ring rust, that would be another factor! Shogun will not be 100% for this fight! Shogun could still win this fight but the odds are against him!

Just because of the ridiculous amount of hype and because I'm a Shogun fan, I hope that Jones gets his face caved in.

The only thing is, Shogun had alot less bounce back time from the Surgery he had before. He has been rehabbing for over 6 months now, and is the same shape he was before he fought Machida, so I dont think that will be as big a deal as some folks think. But we dont know till the fight goes live.

I love this fight! love it! The legend vs. the young lion. I really don't have a dog in this fight. I just recently got over my Rampage Jackson myopia in the LHW division. I fantasized about Rampage vs. Shogun 2 but that's not looking like it's going to happen. Rua is taken down a lot and I think that bones taking him down with that long frame will put him in awkward positions as jones' long arms can make him get subs he shouldn't be able to get. I'm thinking shogun is planning in going muay thai on him...but how good is that knee to provide that.
One thing that we are forgetting as well. Jones has been shadowing Shogun for Rashad Evans his hole camp. He's been pretending to be Shogun so he has seen and felt rashad's game plan, now he has spent 6 weeks adding his unique blend on it....

Also nobody came up with this prediction. I say Shogun gets Dq'ed due to a headstomp and they wrap the LHW championship belt around the waist of an unconscious Jon Jones while he is laying on the stretcher

Andy, so you know about Shogun's inner murderer too. If it wasn't for ref stoppage, I think he'd actually kill someone in the cage.

Yeah, if you look at an English-Portuguese dictionary Chute-Boxe translates to murder.
All joking aside, there is always that possibility of Rua to lose his temper and stomp/soccer kick someone.

Hard to stomp/soccer kick someone from your back.
