Bones is my favorite fighter and I hate Rashad, but does anyone else think the lines are messed up? I mean someone with one loss and some impressive wins on their resume at a (generally around) +400? Surely that seems like a good bet, no?
What you have to understand kid is that all these people bumming Jones right now are the types of people who will jump on almost any bandwagon. That's all.
It might have something to do with Machida knocking Evan's head off, and Jones choking Machida to death. Or Rampage knocking Evans silly, and Jones treating Rampage like a child wrestling with dad.
I don't agree with the odds. But to say it is simply bandwagon is just wrong. Jones has finished guys who finished or almost finished Rashad. It really is as simple as that and that's why he is so overwhelmingly favored.
MMA math doesn't always work. Jones has shown no weakness. Rashad has. It has nothing to do with bandwagon.
MMA math NEVER works. And you can actually argue that RAMPAGE outwrestled Jones in their fight for the most part. He stuffed more than 70% of Jones takedowns in their fight. Jones couldn't get a takedown until the 3rd round!
Rashad did a MUCH better job out wrestling Rampage.
I can only see Boners losing money. Man, I hope some of you punks have put down shitloads on Jones because then you'll be nice and skint after 21st of April :thumbsup:
I ain't putting up no money on anybody. I'm not into betting money. Not because I am worried about losing, but because I genuinely don't like the whole gambling culture.
What the hell is the point in mentioning Machida? Why go there? That was 3 years ago ffs and you're STILL going to bring that up? Honestly, I expected from you.
I was referring to the people who pay a lot of money on the favourite as punks.
Love both fighters... Personally I am going with Jones because he finighes fights and I feel Rashad will try to run out the clock after getting a few hits in. Jones won't let that happen, but hopefully all the training Rashad did with Jones will make it an impressive fight.:thumb03:
The thing with a betting line is it's less on who could win and more on who you are willing to bet on. Rashad fans may talk him up and claim he's going to win but when it comes to putting their money where their mouth is they aren't doing it.

Why go there? Because it happened? The Rampage fight was only a year later. Where is the cut off point for fights being mentioned? Are we only allowed to mention things that put Rashad in a good light?
I also wasn't the first to bring up Machida in this thread.
Just don't mention the Machida fight, that has no relevance. The Machida that fought Jones is different to the Machida that fought Rashad back in 2009. The Rampage that fought Rashad was better than the one Jones fought too :thumbsup:
Taking the piss now. Whatever man, it was the way you wrote it that I didn't like most of all, but whatever man, if that's how you want to act like that, then cool. That's cool. Cool.
Taking the piss? For having views that differ to yours? I remember when we could debate fights quite easily, no matter the different stances we took. I'm not the one that got annoyed when a simple fight was brought up. I'll leave you to it. Enjoy the fight Saturday night.
