Poor poor Forrest! First Anderson embarrassed him and now Jones is going to!

snake11eyes · 08-10-10, 12:41 PM

What will the line be anything under -300 and I'm loading up on Bones.

brooks85 · 08-10-10, 12:54 PM

i wouldnt be surprised to see a -1000 opener

Vaughany · 08-10-10, 01:08 PM

ha ye probably -400

Handjuice · 08-10-10, 01:34 PM

Dana must secretly hate Forrest or something

lasker · 08-10-10, 01:36 PM

Even at -400, I'd be all over it. Forrest has absolutely nothing for Jones.

KCJMAC · 08-10-10, 02:08 PM

Shogun, Rampage, and A. Silva opened against Forrest at -320, -265, and -280 respectively. It will be interesting to see what this line opens at after Jones' recent dominant performances.

Although Jones has some holes in his game, not sure that Forrest is the one to exploit them. I agree with others who note that -400 would be worth taking.

Vaughany · 08-10-10, 02:15 PM

May look at Jones by decision. Could be value ther as he has finished his last four opponents, including last three in first round (including the DQ against Hamill but finished him nonetheless) so the bookies are likely to favour Jones by KO/TKO a lot more than Jones by decision. Forrest is going to be a much bigger LHW than Bones has faced before which might make it harder for Jones to finish him. I could see Forrest hanging in ther like Bonnar but gettin totally dominated nonetheless. If its at +250 or better I'll consider it.

jin2daj · 08-10-10, 05:12 PM

omg seriously? i feel so bad for forrest.

Kaladarus · 08-10-10, 05:43 PM

Forrest is worse in just about all aspects. He has no KO power and his submission game isn't even close to good enough to threaten Jones. There's no place this fight can go that Forrest can win it. I like Matyushenko's chances in a rematch better than Griffin's chances. Seems like a pretty big waste of time considering it's not that hard to take Griffin down. -1000 on Jones would be a steal. A more realistic line would be some where around -2500.

This must be the fight before the title fight for Jones.

Dirty Sanchez · 08-10-10, 06:07 PM

I saw Dana in an interview and he didn't mention Forrest for the fight. He mentioned the winner of the Bader/Little Nog fight as a possible opponent. I don't think Dana would risk having Forrest destroyed, like the route of Chuck Liddell.

Yeee I agree. Would be much better against Bader

Vrakas · 08-10-10, 06:19 PM

griffin has one chance to win.he will only win if jones has his arms tied together.I will parlay jones and Lyoto with a combination of other fighters.

that would increase his chances, but i would take Jones via headkick.

THE_LOCKSMITH · 08-10-10, 07:23 PM

looking like another good card, the word is that UFC 117 is trending near 1 million PPV buys. Looks like a a great middle of the year for the UFC after the weak start

clarkd32 · 08-10-10, 08:57 PM

i'd rather see jones vs tito... lmao

Nick.Papagiorgio · 08-10-10, 09:10 PM

i might put a very small amount on forrest, jones is young doesnt have a ton of experience. still debating

Bill Dozer · 08-10-10, 09:14 PM

Two guys coming off big losses are going to headline that card? They must be marketing Jones heavy. This can't be PPV right?

stefan084 · 08-10-10, 11:35 PM

i think it might only be something like -600,-700 range to start for bones--which i'll take

illmatick · 08-11-10, 12:05 AM

-400 seems about right, Forrest can still take in some money just based off of his name

itchypickle · 08-11-10, 12:26 AM

easy parlay for Jones and Machida

raydog · 08-11-10, 02:07 AM

shit, i feel sorry for rampage...jaysus, i see this one being quick and ugly

100% its going to be a ppv.... they cant and wont put forrest,rampage and machida on a free show.... free shows usually consist of TUF scrubs , upcoming prospects and or middle of the road guys....

snake11eyes · 08-11-10, 10:00 AM

Matyushenko opened at -500. No way Forrest opens worse than that.

KCJMAC · 08-11-10, 10:31 AM

Yep, I like Jones, but he is still relatively new to the sport, and lacks technique at times. Someone is going to exploit that at some point, and he's going to find himself in a fight. That someone might be Forrest.

PingPong · 08-11-10, 12:26 PM

rampage needs to bring back the slam if he wants to win

lasker · 08-11-10, 12:53 PM

If he wants to slam Machida, first he'll have to get hold of Machida. Not gonna happen. He's too slow; Machida's too fast.

brooks85 · 08-19-10, 12:34 AM

Rory Mcdonald vs Matt Brown

NOLA42 · 08-20-10, 02:14 PM

this card is gonna be awesome, cant wait

Shane · 08-20-10, 07:12 PM

From what I've gathered on the numerous MMA forums, I don't think Forrest is going to fight Jones.

kisado · 08-20-10, 09:39 PM

Jon Jones wins.

stefan084 · 08-21-10, 01:28 AM

machida for anything -300 or less

brooks85 · 08-23-10, 08:24 PM
