UFC 145 - Jon Jones v. Rashad Evans

Who did everyone pick for this card?

Here are my BELLATOR 66 (FRIDAY)
UFC 145 (TODAY) picks ...

My picking record is modest since January 1st, 2011 (various events/organizations).

I am currently 382 - 225 for a 62.9%. I usually hit at about 60 - 65% as MMA is such a damn hard sport to pick ... too many VARIABLES as we all know. All it takes is a shot or two ... and a cat is on the way to getting subbed, TKO'd, or KO'd ... :D:lol:

I have long said I am a fan of Jones.......when he fights but I can't stand his personality one bit as it seems fake and forced to me. So for one night only I would not mind if he loses.

Jon's personality is not fake or forced. I've known him since he was 19 coming down to NYC to train at the NYAC. This is EXACTLY how he has always been.
 
Good scrap.

I'm glad it's delivering as too many hyped fights are lackluster or end WAY TOO QUICKLY. We're 10 mins in already.

That reach is the shit though.

84.5" JONES
75" EVANS

Them elbows too.
 
Is it me or does jones look like he's fighting like he's really worried about rashad beating him?

Another factor is that EVANS has been careful. He's known for being a very competent wrestler especially for a 205lb'er with TAKEDOWNS. He hasn't tried them with Jones as he's respectful of dude's length, reach, sprawl, and unorthodox nature. He doesn't want to get caught ... plus he's too tired by now in minute 21.
 
Damn, Jones done shut me up. Dude is a monster at light heavyweight. I don't see anybody beating this guy. Evans I thought had the best shot to accomplish that.

What I can respect to is that he's a legit champion with his height, reach, and skill set(s). The 205lb strap bounced around way too much from 2006/2007 - 2011.

LIDDELL / JACKSON / GRIFFIN / EVANS / MACHIDA / RUA / JONES.

Whereas since Jones obtained the strap in March 2011 after beating RUA ... he's also taken out JACKSON (former champion) / MACHIDA (former champion) / EVANS (former champion).

No one's fucking with him for some time. He's 24 years old and only came into the UFC in 2008/2009.
