    Great card, can't wait! looking for Jones/Faber/Miller/Marquardt/Schaub to get the W's.



    Looks like their will be quite a few finishes that night, possibly a mixture of submissions and knockouts.

    Man i hope Cro Cop wins cause win or lose this is the end of the road for him. I dont think we want to see him go down like what happened to Chuck. Legends shoud never go down that way.

    As for Shaub i wish the best for him as well, if he loses; he young he could just move on. Cro Cop cant really

    He explained why in an earlier video he said it was "to de-humanzie his opponent"



    See how heavy he was breathing and the weird way he was acting storming off and screaming. is it just me or did that trigger a little doubt in anyone elses mind?

    The only person he's de-humanizing is himself. What we see in others is really more about US than them.

    But honestly i made a last minute prediction for Shogun, based on Jones's comments as of late, now picturing Shogun teaching him a good lesson.

    Those prelims should provide some good action let alone the Main Card. I still can't decide who'll win Rua V Jones, the last time Rua had knee surgery and came back he got choked out by Forrest I know Dana insisted he came back later than he wanted to but still Jones isn't the type of guy you wanna fight just coming off an injury.

    I love seeing Mirko kick people's heads off but he waits so long and takes so much time picking his shots that it never seems to happen anymore. Also, his head kicks aren't so great against really tall opponents- and this guy he's fighting is pretty darn tall.

    For a tall opponent like Jones, the overhand right from Shogun is the key to end this fight.

    It's so funny how some pro athletes get- they get a glimmer of success and just lose their minds immediately. Even when Fedor was at the top of his game he was always calm and humble.

    jones is far too confident and ****y for this one, and this is the baddest opponent he faces so far. he didn't acted like this in his other fights. i hope it gets back to him.

    jones is doing the right thing, look at him...he knows shogun is someone far more dangerous than any of his past opponents, he's trying to hold the psychological fear and won't let it get in his head...for such a young fighter, he's doing a good job keeping the image of shogun away from intimidating him.

    I think Shogun is dehumanizing Jones the way that Jon said he does his other opponents, i.e. he is staring at the body and ignoring the face...maybe.

    Mirko looks ready to go man! Shaub looks soft. Either way, I hope Mirko uses his left leg to put Shaub in the hospital for the night.
