UFC 128 Jones vs Shogun
while boxing is a dead sport with the best fighters in the world too scared to fight each other. UFC is putting on some amazing fights and this UFC 128 wont be any different very exciting fights with a potential fight of the year main event card.
Main Card
Jones Vs Shogun
Shogun coming into this fight with a long break between fights. Most people would be worried, but Shogun is an experienced fighters and will go down as one of the greatest fighters in MMA history. Jones is the new fighter on the block with an amazing upside, young, explosive, and trains hard, sound familiar? Well it should it should sound like a little younger version of Shogun. Even though there is nothing more i want to see other then Anderson the spider laying flat out on the mat knocked out, i have a hard time believing Shogun is a one and done champion. I see Shogun winning this fight, i don't think it will end fast 1st or 2nd round. I believe Shogun will use his experience and slowly pick John Jones apart. Jones has a lot going for him and i think will be the champion in UFC one day. I cannot doubt Shogun and his experience other then his injuries Shogun is at the prime of his MMA career. Shogun will show he is not a one and done champion and end Jones great run in the Third round of this championship 5 round fight.
Other Fights on Card
I will only predict and post thoughts on some of the fights left. I want to post on some that i have some knowledge about only. Faber vs Wineland will be a great fight for the two fighters to see where they stand in this division. I have Faber winning this round coming out and putting on a good show like most of his fights he is experienced and i think wants to shine now with UFC backing this division on pay per view. I can see Faber having a good first round followed by a second round take down that will lead to a sub and win for Faber. To the next fight Akiyama vs Marquardt, this is going to be a though match as to see where both these fighters are heading, Nate will need this win more, i think if Nate looses this fight he has a very real chance of being cut from UFC, because his next opponent will not be any easier if he does not get cut, Vitor, Sonnen, and Bisping i think all have a more going for them then Nate. He might be looking for another promotion to fight in very soon without an impressive win and showing here. With that being said i have Akiyama winning second round TKO, and sending Nate looking towards where to turn next because to remain on top of this division is hard next three to five fights might be a tougher test if Nate looses this fight. He needs this fight and needs it more then most think. I have one more fight to talk and predict this one is a though one for me because i had such high hopes with Cro Crop entered the UFC i did not think he would start hugging fighters in middle of there fights, but he seems to somehow always get a win when he needs it, and he needs a win here if he looses to a less experienced fighter then him. He too might be looking for retirement or a different promotion to fight in which if cut might end up in strike force fight Fedor, which i would love to see rather then him get beat up by younger less experienced fighters. This very well might be the last fight i pick where i favor Crop but i think he has this fight left him, his next fights will not get easier if he doesn't hang up soon and might ruin some of his legacy, for the younger MMA fans who don't remember how great of a fighter Crop was when he was younger sad to say.
