Tough one, the height and reach will be the deciding factor i think! Jones is just too long and good at keeping the fight at arms/legs reach!
Glover was rocked in the Maldonado fight i think but held strong and got the stoppage if i remember right?! So he can be wobbled (something we havent seen from Jones?!), but has good power & TD defence so could cause some of the problems that Gustaffson caused.
But i expect a stoppage in the championship rounds for Jones, or a shut out on the scorecards 50-45 Jones.
Hopefully Johnson/Davis wont be a 3 rnd snoozer and add a bit more excitement to the card!
you called it well Jud, 50-45 Jones emphatic win if you ask me
yeah i doubted that Glover had the tools to get inside and drag Jones about.
Jones looked great, as did Johnson against Davis.
Blimey nice to see a post on the "MMA" board again... Jones is just too fecking good, though it's about time his constant open hand pawing and eye poking were clamped down on.
Shocked Rumble beat Mr Wonderful

Yeah its certainly been a while!
Agreed on the distance thing, with the gloves the way they are, it wont be long till there is a real serious eye injury. I think Bellator have some new tech theyre using with their gloves, and have offered it to UFC. Unlikely Dana will have sloppy seconds with any aspect of the business though?!
Shock indeed, Rumble is a beast at LHW, and probably HW after he beat Arlovski...even thinking about him cutting to WW is making me feel drousy!
Jones is definitely the man at the moment, his size and reach will dominate 99% of blokes at that weight, unless another freak comes along, especially now we know he can take a punch! A move up to HW should happen in the next few years, there'll always be challenges at LHW (albeit not always tough ones) but once he has set some serious recordsm i think Jones/Dos Santos, Jones/Velasquez, Jones/Stuve, Jones/Browne, Jones/Werdum, Jones/Nelson all sound pretty fun fights
