this should be a good fight. These two guys combined only have 1 real loss when rashad got KO’d by lyoto machida who also gave jones a run for his money. These are former friends and training partners and this fight has been delayed a couple times over the last year due to injuries. But now we finally get to see it.
Jones is argubaly the best mma fighter on earth right now and im not picking against him vs anyone. BUt rashad is legit and has a lot of pride and will leave it out there. Just dont see rashad getting in close enough to crack jones who has a big reach advantage over most his opponents and knows how to use it. Both are pretty equal wrestling and on the ground.
there are some other good up and coming prospects tonight as well with rory mcdaonld, che mills, stephen thompson and brendan schaub all guys climbing the ladder and looking to become the next big thing in their respective weight class despite not having big names right now.
my picks for the card tonight:
mac danzig over efrain escudero
stephen thompson over matt brown
travis browne over chad griggs
john alessio over mark bocek
mark hominick over eddie yagin
miguel torres over michael mcdonald
brendan schaub over ben rothwell
rory mcdonald over che mills
jon jones over rashad evans
