quite a few decet interesting match ups! Cigano is gona smash Gonzaga in the 1st!You seen the rumours for the next strikeforce card kauto? Looks good!http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/rumors.asp?articleid=10265&zoneid=14
Aoki is the 3rd best in the world as a LW, 1st being BJ and 2nd being a whole lot of fresh air. King Mo is overrated imo, Gegard should take care of him. Although im annoyed he left the UFC, I want to see Hendo - basically an also ran in the UFC - show the difference in quality between the best organisation and the 4th or 5th best. Then we have Fedor. :|

I'm sure most of you know but this is Sunday night/Monday morning and not Saturday night/Sunday morning.
Also be aware that the clocks in the US have gone forward one hour so EST/PST is now 4/7 hours behind us and not the usual 5/8 hours.
Our clocks go forward on the night of UFC 111 so we'll be back to normal then.

Hamill has poor striking defence so often gets battered. I'm not saying Jones isn't extremely promising, but this is a big step up from his previous opposition. I suspect he may look slightly less spectacular.

Bigger price than he should be no doubt, but just think Bones will continue to rise til he meets a top 4 contender.
Also think his wrestling gives him a huge edge in this. He man handled Hamill and if finding th standup tough going, he can take Vera down and GnP him.

9/10 for me - very niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice :D
Irvin - looked tentative and didnt want to know imo, very surprised, I had it to go the distance with Sakara winning due to Irvin gassing. Not sure what was up with Sandman - probably felt he had no power in their and new he was in trouble from the first exchange.
Kongo - just too good really, was quite smart, knew PB wanted a slugfest which would have increased his chances of landing a big shot, but Kongo set up the takedowns with good strikes. CK's GnP is heavy sh1t - not surprising PB called it a day. Done it before.
Cigano :x - what more can I say? He finishes people full stop.
Main event - Bones' hype is well and truly justified. There is a lot of substance there along with the style. Jones Greco Roman is superb. His striking is pretty average in actual fact. Was convinced before the fight he'd be ok until fighting one of the top 4, and now im 100% sure. Rashad and a motivated Rampage would eat him. Shogun would be too wily for him. Lyoto would be too clever.

then a shot at one of the more established fighteres.....Couture, Franklin, Griffin or Ortiz.
Ortiz vs Jones would be very interesting. thats a good match up. Dana would go for that....let jones destroy ortiz.
Vitor Belfort would be interesting too.
then someone like Thiago Silva or Rashad or even Couture if he hasnt fought him as yet.
then the title shot vs Lyoto or Shogun.
something like that.

Trying to work out a path for Jones....My guess is Keith Jardine next. then a shot at one of the more established fighteres.....Couture, Franklin, Griffin or Ortiz. Ortiz vs Jones would be very interesting. thats a good match up. Dana would go for th

very nice night! Cigano in the 1st,cheick mauled headhunter (sorry elg :) ) and jones proved once again he is the real deal! Would love to see JDS ko Lesnar!
Not a chance that jones will fight jardine,on a different level and really wouldnt be a good fight for kj with his glass jaw! KJ wouldnt have a chance in hell of getting past the 1st. Id say Thiago Silva will be his next fight.
