Ya, that card is better than most ppv cards in last year now. I hope GG wont get caught early and he manages to take JDS down, because I wanna see how good JDS' is on his back against tier 1 grappler like Gabe.
Basically an early KO would prove nothing to me at this point, I wanna see his ground game so we can tell if there is any chance he can last a round with Mir, cain or Carwin when the fight hits the ground and specially if he has the wrestling to get up from there even if he can avoid the subs.

Ohhh piss. I picked Gonzaga for the FFL but really don't see him beating JDS now.

That aside, I'm really pumped for this fight. Will be very exciting.

Wow, Dos Santos really is taking the "Jon Fitch" route to the title. And why the hell is he fighting on a Fight Night? He should be on a legit PPV.

Maybe the UFC is actually being smart about this and gradually working Dos Santos towards a title shot, instead of feeding him to the wolves.

In JDS' first UFC fight, they gave him a top 10 HW one fight away from a title shot. Then they gave him someone on a 5 fight submission streak. Then they gave him a legend. Then they gave him someone with 30+ KOs who just knocked out Rizzo and had just taken the #2 HW to the 3rd round.

I dunno what they're doing with JDS but after he beats GG he'll have one of the most impressive 5 fight streak in the whole HW division.


That being said, JDS takes this fight easily. GG will try to stand for the first exchange then feel the dynamite power he has, try to take him down, get shucked off, retreat, and get crushed. GREAT looking fightnight!

Man this card is getting better and better, really looking forward to it. Liking every single fight talked about so far. The UFC really are putting on a heck of a show for their debut on Versus aren't they!

If the rumoured bouts are true and do get added, then the card will look like this:

Brandon Vera vs Jon Jones
Junior Dos Santos vs Gabriel Gonzaga
Anthony Johnson vs John Howard
Clay Guida vs Sean Sherk
Spencer Fisher vs Duane Ludwig

Brendan Schaub vs Chase Gormley
Vladamir Matyushenko vs Eliot Marshall

That is a sick card for a FN event. Really can't wait for Vera vs Jones, that's going to be such a good fight. Potential Fight of the Year candidate I reckon.

I agree, I mean spike even has a bigger audience than Versus...ridiculous card though.....I have been saying JDS is the best prospect out of that Cain, Carwin , JDS group....I mean if he beats gabe how can someone rate Carwin in front of him......thats Carwins only big win, JDS already has the most impressive resume out of all of them

Another fight, another win for Dos Santos. Gabriel Gonzaga Nogueira (that's what wiki says) never been one of my favorites due to poor record: forget about Mirko for a second and Gonzaga hasn't beaten anyone legit, and in the meantime lost to Werdum twice, to Couture and to Carwin decisively. So I think Junior has a good chance to improve his highlight reel by delivering another knockout.

theres your answer from Dana, Khov, saying he is next in line indeed :sarcastic12: shame on you for believing that for half a second.

yea obv he wasnt next in line or even close but i agree they are giving him a tough, long route to the title.

GG is gonna turn his career in the right direction, he took down Carwin who has a great wrestling base, he is gonna take down JDS, im pretty sure of it and im pretty sure JDS wont wanna be on the bottom.

If the odds are right ill put real $ aswell. GG is just madly underrated lately. He had a couple poor showings but the talent is there. GG outstruck CC more impressively then JDS did.... to say he would lose to Yvel who has no ground game to rely on is kinda funny to me, he would eat Yvel on the ground instantly.

Gonzaga is all hype because of his 1 head kick.

Dos Santos should win this easily which saddens me because I really want to see him challenged by one of the top fighters in the division.

It is probably for the best though as it will allow all 3 of the major up and comers to fight for the title instead of pitting them against each other right away.
