Jones' resume only looks the way it does now because he has only been in the sport for a couple years, kinda hard to compare Shoguns (a legend of the sport) and Jones' (rising newcomer) resumes, really doesnt prove anything.
I really like both guys so im not going to be upset with either guy losing. I think Jones will win this though, 10" reach advantage, very unorthidox, and amazing wrestling. I see him getting a choke in this fight. Jones looked absolutley massive compared to Shogun at the press conference today, going to be hard for shogun to use his leg kicks and strikes when he is at such a huge reach advantage.
Other factor is you never know how shoguns knees are going to feel... always in question.
Who did you want to get the title shot Michael Jackson? Rampage turned it down, rashad is hurt, t. silva is on the positive drug test right now, and out of the top 10 guys left that leaves Couture, Machida, and Griffin... no thanks on any of those fights over Jones. I think he is well deserving of a title shot.
