Shields looked like shit after his last fight, but I think he is a more natural 185lber. Regardless, the winner should face Silva and either has a good chance of pulling it off. [Reply]

My support will move north of the boarder for that fight~ [Reply]

Ok...I don't think so. Jones is too smart to get Machida'd.
You're giving Jones far too much credit. He's still a pup. He should eventually become a long standing champ, but again, he's never fought anyone like Shogun. Not anyone of that caliber. [Reply]

I think it's even money at this point. Jones has that "freakish" skill set factor, but Rua also has all of the tools, experience, and at 29 just hitting his prime. I'm not sure this will be action packed fight, but I'm still excited to see it. [Reply]

What's that place hold 100K?
Somebody a little more in the know then me would have to answer this one, but I would think the US wouldn't be able to pack that many in for a UFC fight, but maybe Japan would?
Edit just did some research on the 20 biggest gates ever. 18 in Japan and 2 in Canada. No way they sale out that stadium in my opinion and from the sound of things the UFC is more interested in the PPV sales so probably wouldn't care to even try.
