But I bet Jones tries to keep him on his back with a GSP-style fight.

Be interesting to see Rumble in those Championship rounds though. Dude carries A LOT of muscle and might gas in deep waters if it gets that far.

That would be the smart fight for him.

Yes, it's the only way to neutralize those battering rams that Rumble calls fists.

Jones vs Johnson will be a great fight hope they can put a great card together.

That and use those kicks. Leg kick the shit out of the front leg.

Nice free card.

I absolutely called it, 1st round TKO. Johnson's fists are professional boxing material. Add that with his near flawless takedown defense, deadly kicks to compliment his swings, and his NJCAA National Champion background, and you have a guy who will end the fight against Jonny Bones Nose within the first 2 rounds.

The problem being, Johnson seldom fights on his back. He's freakishly strong, and has an 85 percent takedown defense. If that's not the best in the business, it's damned near close. Jones relies on his reach, which I think Johnson can absolutely neutralize. His charge is deadly, especially in the early rounds.

I think Jones definitely has the endurance though. A huge red flag on Rumble going into the Gustaffson fight was that he would peak within the first round or two. Luckily, when you have the KO power he has, that's all you need.

Too bad he wasted all those years looking mediocre trying to make that crazy cut to 170 when he would have been kicking ass at 205.

Im all for seeing Jones go down. I just dont believe Rumble will do it. I forgot about this card too. :-(

Anybody at least have a gif of the KO?
[Reply]

Wasn't expecting Brawler to win that one quiet so easy. He was effortlessly launching those head kicks on 6' 5" Alexander Gustafsson which is pretty impressive in itself.

Son got game

BTW pretty shitty that when the UFC goes to Brazil the Brazil guys all get tomato cans but when they go to Sweden their fighters get the shit kicked.out of them :-)

UFC 183 is pretty awful.

I would really like to see Silva and Diaz. Its good enough that I might go BWW for it. The co-main is kinda interesting too, but man I'm not paying for one good fight thats neither a title fight nor a super fight. I'm probably gonna skip this, but I'm definitely in for UFC 184 barring more 2014-style disasters.

Really?

I'm pretty excited to watch Woodley, JLau, Leites, Alves, and McCall.
