UFC Vera Vs Jones Predictions

Fear Uladh

Whats the predictions? Have to say this Card aint bad, in fact a bit better than the other PPVs this year!

Here is my two cents.
Light Heavyweight bout: Brandon Vera vs. Jon Jones- Vera to win
Heavyweight bout: Junior dos Santos vs. Gabriel Gonzaga - Dos Santos to win
Heavyweight bout: Cheick Kongo vs. Paul Buentello- Kongo to win( just remembered Buentellos performance against Struve)
Middleweight bout: Alessio Sakara vs. James Irvin- Irvin easily to win.

Some decent prelims which I will hope will be shown beforehand.

Point it out?

That thread wasn't predictions. Well done.

Turtyturd

Brandon Vera Vs Jon Jones Vera had a decent outing is his last fight so he is guaranteed a stinker here. Although even if he does perform I would take Jones for the win.

Junior dos Santos vs. Gabriel Gonzaga

Cheick Kongo vs. Paul Buentello Not a big fan of Kongo but I can't see him losing here.

Alessio Sakara vs. James Irvin

Alessio Sakara vs. James Irvin

I agree on all but Irvine. He's been out since his loss to Silva with injury and dope suspension and I think it'll show. It's Irvine's first time at MW too.

Vera Jones is close. Both of them are great wrestlers, Jones made Hamill look like a wean when they fought, and Vera almost completely negated Couture's wrestling gameplan which is no small task. Very close call but I hope Jones wins. He has all the hype that Vera had 3 years ago but is more likely to fulfil that potential IMO.

Why does everyone think jones will win? I think vera has proven a lot more than jones to be honest, I for one will be lumping on him @2/1

I also think struve will beat roy "the fat" nelson in the next fight night, another great price.
In fact a double on the two of these might be an idea

I just think its hard to take somebody serious after they have lost to Jardine.

The only time I have ever seen Vera look impressive was the fight with Mike Patt, and that was a complete mismatch.

Jones on the other hand I see as a future champion. With his style of fighting someone is going to beat him but I don't see that being Vera

Agreed, that fight with randy couture was a joke! All randy did was put him up aginst the cage, Vera is looking to make a name for himself again, I don't think Jones will take it away from him.

Foxinho

Ya i think this is jones toughest fight to date to gauge hw good a contentender he is at 205. After this fight i think we will know if he is the real deal or not?

Im betting that he will win by tko in the 2nd

Also the heavyweight bout im pippin for dos santos, he can go places!! Hes looked impressive so far whilst gonsaga can be hit and miss!!

wat ya think?

I couldn't agree more
can't decide which of these is the best value.
look who vera has fought compared to jones and yet hes
21/10 with boyles...thats amazing value for what i fight i
see as 50/50 and i also see it going the distance.
I backed vera to beat randy..couldnt believe that one.
he shouldve done better when he had randy in trouble.
Id love to see struve beat nelson and if he keeps it
standing i think he can pull it off..9/4 is very big.
cant stand big country and the sooner he's put away the better.

gonzaga is very dangerous but jds has an iron chin in comparison.
i wouldnt be backing jds at 2/9 but i think he'll take it.

personally i dont see jones finishing vera.
if he did it would be some statement when the likes
of randy, jardine and others couldnt stop him and the
fact that hes only been stopped once in his career

up till jardines last two fights he was a match a lot of the top guys
especially against chuck and rampage but i do think vera shouldve
been maybe a level above jardine.
its veras failure to finish off guys is what worries me especially when
i bet on him
hard to know how good jones is as he beat nobody.
vera wouldve been hamill like a dog if they met and only
a year ago jones couldnt put away bonner

paddy power or boyles, check both for the best prices as they can vary, boyles seems to be better these days for ufc odds though

Betfair all the way lads...

mailburner

boyles have only priced up 3 fights on tomorrows cards
thats a disgrace
i want to double vera with irvin but no price available on the latter
and theyre biggest by far on vera

MrStuffins

wow, watching the Weigh-Ins and looking at James Irvin at 185 is so weird!

Ya ever see when someone loses a shed load of weight after a serious illness? It's so weird to look at him, i remember him as a Heavyweight in the UFC.

baz123

I'm gonna go with: Jones in the main event, Dos Santos to beat Gonzaga,Buentello to surprise most with a win over Kongo(ko) and Sakara to beat Irvin(looks to me like the sandman has been out of action too long and the weight cut will prove to be too much for him)

mailburner

did a single on vera at 21/10
and an accum with
schaub
kongo
jds
irvin (seriously worried bout this one)
mir
alves

hoping in can get tonites up so i dont

seen that alrite

i backed vera with boyles
did an accum in the shop (paddy)
and an accum online (paddy)
paddy probably just about the best overall
for the amount of markets.
most bookies just offer match betting whereas
with pp you can chose the method of victory
amongst others

Yup, same with all the UFN shows too. VERY annoying. I'm taping it, seriously considering going to bed and watching it tomorrow when i can forward the ads.

Great decision by Rosenthal. Punch right on the eyeball, that's gotta hurt. It's definately a TKO. Irvin didn't complain.

Agreed

Vicious hands altogether great tko.

I love Joe Rogan!

Dominant performance as predicted by Kongo, still holes in his ground game. Hopefully Gonzaga and Dos santos delivers.

mailburner

so we get to see 4 fights max i guess
at least 30-40mins of ads
10 mins of interviews
another 10mins promoting gsp/hardy card
and the show is only 2 hours
what a bunch of ****

Yep. I really am disappointed with it. Although I am looking forward to the next two fights.

MrStuffins

Yeah but you gotta realise that these cards are a vehicle to promote the PPV cards. Plus, to give fights to the massive fighter roster.

The ads really annoy me, makes me appreciate the PPV cards though.

(PS, Dos Santos coming out to "Gonna Fly Now", sweet)

MrStuffins

Mad mistake by Gonzaga. Good night!

Fear Uladh

very good knockout, junior dos santos is looking better with each fight, horrible mistake by gonzaga though.

MrStuffins

John Howard............ WOW!
