I think Jone is too strong

**Vaughany** · 02-22-11, 05:27 PM

Damn Vemola has pulled out of his fight with Cane.

I know. I was playing him in that fight! This was supposed to be on Ion Television too. Wonder if they'll get a replacement or just pull Cane form the card.

**sirchadwick1** · 02-22-11, 05:42 PM

I'd like to see Cane fight Kyle Kingsbury now if he's still on the card.

**The HOFF** · 02-23-11, 04:33 PM

"The Ultimate Fighter 8" cast member Eliot Marshall will get a chance at redemption on short notice.

Sources close to the event today told MMAjunkie.com that Marshall has verbally accepted a fight with Luiz Cane at UFC 128 in the wake of Karlos Vemola's injury withdrawal.

**sirchadwick1** · 02-23-11, 04:54 PM

Nice! Glad to see Marshall back. Hope he's in the best of shape for this one b/c he'll have his hands full w/ Cane.
If Cane loses, he will probably be seeing his walking papers so expect to see him fighting for his life.

I'm a little biased, as I probably have the largest Jon Jones Topps card collection in the world. Cmon Bones!

**Cantstopmenow** · 02-25-11, 11:18 AM

OMG OMG.. I need action!! who do I bet on????

**sirchadwick1** · 02-25-11, 11:22 AM

If you can't decide on a winner, go in on the prop that the fight doesn't go the distance. Ah.. probably no value in that one though.

Jones by Submission prop.

**Vaughany** · 02-26-11, 06:53 PM

Assuncao vs Koch added to the card...gd matchup, glad Gamburyan pulled out TBH!

**tunaguitar76** · 02-26-11, 06:54 PM

**jin2daj** · 03-01-11, 11:37 PM

ahhhh hthis card is so soon. i havent been this excited in a lonnnng time.

even though chuck, tito, and randy are no longer relevant.... LHW division is always going to be the most exciting to me.

**Poppa Catfish** · 03-01-11, 11:51 PM

LHW is my favorite as well, looking forward to this one big time

i like this whats the line?

**robotralph** · 03-04-11, 02:20 AM

Shogun vs jones is a tough pick. Jones is too well rounded not to pick, but i def want to see shogun win.

**youngbutgood** · 03-06-11, 02:19 AM

Anyone know the specifics on Shogun's knee injury. I know it was less serious then his previous injuries where it had to be totally reconstructed.

**sideloaded** · 03-06-11, 02:45 AM

Just a fun fact lil' Nog said Rua is going to win this fight with his deep half gaurd.

If Anderson Silva confirms this, then I'm 100% all in on Shogun

nice! both are interesting fights with somewhat-relevant-to-the-ladder implications.

**Ranx777** · 03-08-11, 10:58 AM

Let me start by saying, I really like Shogun, and bet on him both fights against Machida. Obviously, the first fight was the better pick of the two, even though he lost. I have a ton of faith in him. With that said...

Jones is winning this fight. He is not over-hyped. Especially not in this matchup. I don't even like him either. He will take down SHogun easily in this fight, and dominate him on the ground. Seriously, dominate him. SHogun will wear down after 2-3 rounds of that. Im not sure Jones can finish him, but I wouldnt be surprised if its stopped from the corner, or a cut. I see a GSP vs BJ Penn 2 kind of fight.

If you are betting on Shogun. You are probably the guy that still thinks Fedor is a top 5 HW too.

This is a HORRIBLE matchup for Shogun, even if he is in great shape.

**Educ8d Degener8** · 03-08-11, 02:49 PM

Faber at damn near -500...

This is a stupid comment. Fedor has nothing to do with Shogun. Make sure you post your ticket before the fight.

Yeah comparing Shogun to Fedor is a bit amiss! Shogun isnt small for his weight class and doesnt have a belly!

I guess at the end of the day, it will always come down to, pride vs ufc.

**RealBets** · 03-08-11, 05:26 PM
