[Pimpwerx]

Bones is gonna put Vitor in a bodybag. PEACE.

 

[TheNatural]

I approve of two 5 round fights on a card, wish it happened more often. I don't think it's happened much at all before.

 

[Grifter]

So it's real. Saw and ad and thought it was a month-old promo for a cancelled match.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Seems like Matt Hamill's UFC career is on the line here. It would look pretty bad to get beaten by a relative unknown.

 

[Chamber]

Wonderful OP, friend.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Jones will beat Vitor senseless in round 1. The ref will try to stop it, but Bones will push him away and say:

 

[Jean Valjean]

Hoping that Vitor meets God in person...

 

[Deleted member 284]

Jones will beat Vitor senseless in round 1. The ref will try to stop it, but Bones will push him away and say:

Ahaha, you've been looking for an excuse to post this haven't you?

 

[Donthizz#]

Best OP ever!

Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.

Vitor got this. Bones is going to wish he fought Chael.

 

[RiccochetJ]

Going with Jones. Belfort has the kick heard around the world.

 

[SteveWD40]

Bones will GNP Vitor into a living death, as much as I wish it were the other way around...

Vitor's Back by STUNNING KO

It went over the time alotted for the PPV and most people missed the end of the main event.

Also it's yet another card that Vitor was supposed to be on... he pulled out right before the fight due to injury just like he will here. The main event will end up being Mighty Mouse vs Benavidez.

 

[polyh3dron]

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

I honestly think that Jones will win easily but I love underdog stories.

If Vitor pulled it out or really won in any fashion I would love it.

I just hope for an entertaining fight.

Why'd you go back that far? UFC 129 had two title fights too.

 

[ShaneB]

Why'd you go back that far? UFC 129 had two title fights too.

And both went to the judges.

Despite the debacle the UFC has been the past little while, this ended up being a decent card. I'm praying for some magic by Vitor, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

[MjFrancis]

Anything less than a RD1 victory for Jones will be a monumental failure on his part.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

UFC is a mess right now. Bunch of shame fights coming up and not the good kind of shame fights from PRIDE.

 

[Brinbe]

Can't wait, attending on Saturday. Expecting Bone Jones domination, but the Vitor fanboy in me is hoping for an upset.

 

[Host Samurai]

My heart says Vitor and mind says Jones. I am praying for a rushing early blitz from Vitor. I hope Jones gets Wanderlaied?

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

GOD is on Belfort's side but...

that kinda dont matter

 

[Luscious LeftFoot]

Old Vitor is old. Jones by vicious hellbow.

 

[iddqd]

Amazing work OP.
Jones by Atom Bomba!

 

[TrumanBurbank]

Fantastic OP. Bones by decimation.

 

[Saty]

What happened to Machida?

 

[thefro]

What happened to Machida?

Too chicken to take the fight like Bones was too chicken to fight Sonnen at 151

 

[Dysun]

It's always good to see jones fight although his last one was a stinker. Can't see that happening vs Belfort though.

Bisping vs Stann is pretty good, although I dont really care about the midget title fight

 

[Leftovers]

Glorious OP!

If only I had tickets...

 

[WaltJay]

My heart says Vitor and mind says Jones. I am praying for a rushing early blitz from Vitor. I hope Jones gets Wanderlaied?

Same here. I think that's the only way Vitor is going to win this (via blitz on 1st down).

I fully expect Vitor to get into the 3 point stance and rush Jones. Limit his reach advantage and hope something lands. Otherwise he'll get picked apart like all the others.

 

[MjFrancis]

It's always good to see jones fight although his last one was a stinker.

Where's the yellow cards when you need them?

 

[Judderman]

Why does it feel like it's been 5-6 months since the last UFC? Did I miss one?

 

[GungHo]

Why does it feel like it's been 5-6 months since the last UFC? Did I miss one?

Technically it missed you.

 

[Tallshortman]

This is going to be such a mismatch at LHW.

 

[Maklershed]

Jon Jones by round 1 Murder Death Kill

 

[ScOULaris]

Haha, that OP is amazing.

And you can count me firmly in the Vitor camp. He was the first mixed martial artist after Royce Gracie that I was instantly a fan of in the early days of the UFC, and he has remained humble, respectful, and talented despite years of both personal and professional disappointments.

Jon Jones, on the other hand, is an insanely talented but arrogant youngster who needs to get knocked down a peg or two.

I hope Vitor puts Jones out by sometime in the third round. Just imagine if Machida beats Henderson, and then we'd have Machida vs Vitor! Who wouldn't want to see that fight?

 

[SUPREME1]

Jones gonna be feeling extra murdery come round 2.

So, Jones by 187 in the 2nd round.

 

[VoxPop]

As much as I like Vitor, he's gonna take 7 consecutive hellbows to the dome and retire. Should have stayed at 185. Midgets fighting for relevance or even Bisping/Stann can't save this terrible card

 

[Heel]

Jones will beat Vitor senseless in round 1. The ref will try to stop it, but Bones will push him away and say:

"BALLGAME."

 

[Brian Fellows]

I'll be watching this one on delay. Hope Vitor shocks the world.

 

[PaleFolklore]

I'm only a casual UFC viewer, but why does it feel like this year has been mostly awful in the way of big name fighters fighting each other for titles?

 

[Jamie OD]

I'm only a casual UFC viewer, but why does it feel like this year has been mostly awful in the way of big name fighters fighting each other for titles?

Because main events have been constantly changing on an almost weekly basis due to injuries and other circumstances.

 

[Brian Fellows]

I'm only a casual UFC viewer, but why does it feel like this year has been mostly awful in the way of big name fighters fighting each other for titles?

It has been because nobody can get through a training camp without getting hurt.

 

[polyh3dron]

I'm only a casual UFC viewer, but why does it feel like this year has been mostly awful in the way of big name fighters fighting each other for titles?

Because it's absolutely true.

 

[Diprosalic]

the chance of belfort winning is too small to justify spending money on this card.

 

[VoxPop]

the chance of belfort winning is too small to justify spending money on this card.

There's not many fighters left to give Jones a run for his money except Hendo and Anderson. I think Belfort has a better chance than Shogun or Rampage ever had or will have. It was hilarious watching Jones beat Shogun up like a bully taking a kids lunch money.

At least Belfort is somewhat quick.
