I think that either Spider blitzes through GSP's standup and questionable chin or the fight becomes a competitive but dull grappling match that goes five rounds to a lackluster decision. In neither case will the fight live up to the hype.<br /><br />GSP is a great fighter and superb athlete. He always seems to have a smart Pincherhttp://pulse.yahoo.com/_UT3LO7CZPSAS423TUTB2QMMDCEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-39822757851029965172011-03-20T04:16:53.330-04:002011-03-20T04:16:53.330-04:00I suspect he is ambivalent about taking the fight,...I suspect he is ambivalent about taking the fight, which he would (in my opinion) likely lose.<br /><br />GSP on fight night is probably around 185 and Anderson is maybe 195. So it's not a big difference. If GSP puts on 5 lbs of muscle and they have it at a catch weight of 180 or so then it seems pretty fair.<br /><br />But back to the main point, Jones is a lot bigger than AS.

He may be in long term decline due to all the wear and tear. He also should be fighting at 185. <br /><br />Nevertheless, Jones is amazing. It's interesting that he wasn't any good at basketball or football. I think he has two brothers (both bigger than him) who play in the NFL.<br /><br />I would take Jones over steve hsuhttp://duende.uoregon.edu/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-17863454857367583322011-03-20T01:13:45.393-04:002011-03-20T01:13:45.393-04:00Good Lord.

Jon Jones beats up elite fighters like he is a schoolyard bully taking some nerds' lunch money.<br /><br />When I saw the 21-year-old Jones take apart Stephan Bonnar for three rounds, I knew he would be champion some day. But I had no idea he would become one so quickly or in such dominating fashion. <br /><br />Poor Shogun.
