Fact is, Shogun has a great chin and kicks and hits like a ****ing mule. If anything I don't see what Jones is going to beat Shogun with. Not if Shogun is healthy. Which has always been the only knock on Shogun.

To win the fight, Shogun is going to have to get the fight to the ground...do you really think he can do that. Jones stuffed any kind of takedown attempt Bader threw at him with ease, it's going to be very difficult for Shogun to get him down. Not to mention, Jones looks like he's a weight class larger than Shogun.
Also...Jones has momentum and already is in fighting shape now. He and Greg Jackson can spend the next 6 weeks coming up with a gameplan and train specifically for it instead of worrying about getting into fighting shape. That is a HUGE advantage IMO.
I'm not saying Jones is going to walk through Shogun or anything like that but this is a horrible match up for Shogun stylistically, there's no denying that.

It doesn't destroy anything...the only point I made was that if Griffin can sub Shogun and I don't give a **** when it was that Jones can do it too. That's it.
