Within The Main Function, Mauricio Rua Defends His Ufc Light Heavyweight Championship Against Jon Jones.

We're now just a few days away from UFC 128 "Shogun vs. Jones". While in the most important event, Mauricio Rua defends his UFC Light Heavyweight Championship in opposition to Jon Jones. The co-main celebration will even be an remarkable match-up, as previous long-reigning WEC Featherweight Champion Urijah Faber will take on Eddie Wineland. As is customary, right here is my official "picks and predictions" post (covering who I think will win and why), now featuring UFC 128: "Shogun vs. Jones".

Mauricio Rua (c) vs. Jon Jones for your UFC Light Heavyweight Championship: I'm placing it all about the line with this fight and this prediction, but when have I actually been afraid to complete so? If Rua proves me wrong and wins, it wouldn't be the first time I've needed to stomach a heaping supporting of humble pie. But I just really do not see that taking place. Jon Jones is too great at every little thing, and for "Shogun", the mind is ready however the system is weak. Jones will both hit his flurry and KO Rua in Round 1, or he'll pummel Rua's already-damaged knees into dust with continuous takedowns. I'm betting about the former: Rua will assume that he's obtained the striking benefit on "Bones", and Jonny Bones will prove him wrong. Jon Jones wins by KO in Round 1.

Urijah Faber vs. Eddie Wineland: Eddie Wineland is a person difficult fighter, but there is toughness and after that there's Urijah Faber. Both equally men are tough and have wonderful chins, but I think the submission game will come back to bite Wineland. He's obtained 5 wins by submission, but he's been submitted 4 occasions. Faber has thirteen wins by submission and has certainly not been submitted. Even now, because of on the all-important toughness factor, Wineland will only succumb right after Faber wears him down. Urijah Faber wins by submission in Round three.

Jim Miller vs. Kamal Shalorus: As considerably as I like Kamal Shalorus, Jim Miller must be correct up there with the ideal of them, and I believe he's likely to demonstrate it at UFC 128. I could converse more about this battle, but I'm likely to wrap it up with a single basic sentence: I see Jim Miller currently being superior than Kamal in all major locations from the game. Jim Miller wins by submission in Round two.

Nate Marquardt vs. Dan Miller: There's two methods I glimpse at this match, and in equally of them, I see Nate Marquardt winning. The primary way is always to refute the declare that Nate Marquardt chokes in large fights, which means that he's however one particular in the most effective at 185 and need to be also very much for Miller to cope with. The 2nd way should be to permit that Nate Marquardt chokes in large fights but counter that this is not a large fight for him. That is much far more on the degree of when Nate Marquardt confronted Rousimar Palhares, and all of us understand how that battle turned out. In truth, I'm planning to be calling for the similar end result: Nate Marquardt will beat Dan Miller by (T)KO in the to begin with round.

Mirko Filipovic vs. Brendan Schaub: When it comes proper down to it, that is a rather quick pick. Mirko Cro Cop's most current fight was an ultra-boring three-round snooze-fest with Frank Mir that mercifully ended with a late-round Hail Mary KO. which Cro Cop was on the obtaining conclude of. Meanwhile, Brendan Schaub continues to be destroying folks and just got performed beating Gabriel Gonzaga and booting him ideal from the UFC. Schaub is prepared for Cro Cop's stage of talent, and Cro Cop has long been a shadow of his previous self for quite a while. Brendan Schaub wins by TKO in Round one.

And that is what I believe, enthusiasts and close friends. But what about you? Who do you see winning, and why, at UFC 128?
