    Think about it and let it sink in a bit more, and you'll be even more excited for this match. It's a great fight, and much more competitive than the Rashad fight, and it's only a little over a month away. Pretty crazy. I can't wait.

    Who've you got?

    Damn when was the last time a UFC title was on the line 3 time in a same year ?

    Its making up for the constant challenger switches and lack of title fights we've had in the LHW division in the past two years. If only Rashad would get his **** together.

    Machida probably has the best chance of any of the LHW at the moment.

    Still think Jones will win but you never know.

    Assuming he beats Machida and Evans, aside from maybe Phil Davis, there isn't really anyone else who presents even a moderate challenge to Jones.

    Yeah me too. Just sayin'.

    And I doubt Phil Davis would pose much of a challenge tbh.

    Oh, I don't either. But assuming he stays on course, he'll be the only real viable opponent to fight Jones (again, assuming Jones beats Machida and Evans and Davis stays undefeated).

    But after that though, who else at 205 looks even remotely decent as a potential challenger? Shogun again, maybe... but his loss to Jones almost could not have been more devistating.

    War Machida! Show your skill and fighting pedigree! Give a good account of yourself and make Bones work hard for his eventual brutal victory!

    :hat

    Machida can end this with one shot, but I think Jones will break him.

    No way Machida can win this. Jones too big and wrestling too strong.

    Jones wins this hands down, and makes it look easy.

    I love the fact that within a couple of years Machida goes from being the next best thing and now many consider him cannon fodder. I wonder if this will be the same for Jones.

    Machida needs to work the TDD but with Jones he could also get overwhelmed on the feet.

    Lyoto has a very good chance but Jones will IMO win this.
