UFC 128: Shogun vs. Jones – Guest Panel Picks:


Paul Bradley – “I'm going with Jones. I think he is just too dynamic. I do think however that if there is one guy can beat him and figure him out, that guy is Shogun.”


Cung Le – “This is a very tough fight to call and I can’t decide who will win.”


Thomas Denny – “Shogun has been one of my favorite fighters from my 1st time meeting him @ his pride debut. That being said I think Bones represents the future of MMA this will be a great fight. My heart says Shogun but my money says Bones Jones will leave the octagon 5lbs heavier!”


Ricky Lundell – “I believe Jon Jones has the wrestling ability required in this match to beat Shogun. If Jones can effectively use his reach and control distance properly I believe that he has the tools to take Shogun to the ground and finish him.”


Ryan Couture – “I think Jones will get the win with his superior wrestling and GNP.”

Koch had a wicked KO and you have to wonder how "the Fire marshall" even got a fight in the UFC at 11-10.
