I am interested in seeing Evans/Jones of course, but Machida will cause more problems for Bones at the moment. Should be a good one, and agree about Nog/Mir not being main event worthy, especially in Toronto. That's a joke.

        im a fan of mma in general. I keep up with DREAM , Bellator, DEEP, and really any card i see that catches my eye. Been following mma for about 7 years. So Im always looking for new up and comers. That for me is like the guys who follow recruiting religiously...

          The Dragon wants his belt back.



          Everything involving Bones Jones has been absolutely retarded for the last 6-8 months.
          Least likeable guy I wanted to really like.

            Machida is a great match up for Jones, him and Rashad actually

            Stand up wise Jones only has reach on Machida, he couldnt bust a grape with 1 shot, Machida can out class him easily, but length + a threat of a TD evens things out

            Machida has really good TDD, only times I remember him getting taking down was off the cage

            Would love to see Jones hit flush standing and see what that chin has, Machida is pin point accurate and has power in his straight left

                Agree on Machida.. neither guy is an instigator or too aggressive in the standup both love keeping distance will be interesting to see how that adds up.

                At this point Im of firm opinion best shot is Rashad and everything else is Jones ducking him.

                  Thought they would just wait it out for Rashad, considering the amount of fights Jones has had. I don't expect much out of Machida, but it could be interesting.
