I have never been a fan of either fighter, both have rubbed me the wrong way. Jackson pisses me off more so im going to back rashad. I must say as much as I do feel fighters are under paid in relation to how much UFC takes in via PPV buys and sponsorship, I do find it hard to get into the whole 'I was betrayed' angle when its coming from a guy driving a car worth more then most peoples houses. Whats more didnt the blackzillians do the same to bigfoot when inviting overeem to train.

Say what you want about Bones Jones being arrogant, fake, cocky, but this guy has been unstoppable in the octagon with finishes over Shogun, Rampage, Machida all in one year! IMO this guy is already LHW goat. Rashad says he beats John in practice. Be interesting to see what Shad has for him come fight time... Eighter way their numbers don't lie...

Jon Jones

Best Takedown Accuracy in Division History

Jones comes from a strong Greco-Roman wrestling background and his skills have translated very well to MMA. His takedown accuracy of 63.6% is the very best in light heavyweight history. He’s already scored 21 takedowns, 4th most in division history, and his 3.32 takedowns per 15 minutes average is the 4th highest in division. Aside from winning takedown battles, Jones shows great control on the ground, spending only 12 seconds in the UFC on his back.

100% Takedown Defense

Jones has never been taken down, an impressive feat considering he’s fought high level wrestlers like Quinton Jackson, Ryan Bader, and Jake O’Brien. In the case of O’Brien, who holds the UFC record with 6.44 takedowns landed per 15 minutes, Jones defended all four attempts by O’Brien. Jones’ takedown defense should be one of his biggest weapons when he faces the takedown-hungry Rashad Evans.

Outlands Opponents by 2.4 Strikes per Minute

Jones is known for the unorthodox striking techniques that he displays in the Octagon, but what may surprise most is that he’s actually quite efficient in this area. Jones’ strike differential is 2.40, the fourth best total in UFC history. This means that Jones lands 2.4 more strikes every minute than he absorbs.

Jon Jones’ career stats:
Average fight length: 9:29 (UFC average 9:34)
Knockdown average per 15 minutes: 0.47 (UFC average 0.29)
Strikes landed per minute: 3.82 (UFC average 2.61)
Striking accuracy: 51.9% (UFC average 42%)
Strikes absorbed per minute: 1.42 (UFC average 2.61)
Striking defense: 66.6% (UFC average 58%)
Strike differential +/- : 2.40 (UFC average 0.00)

In his striking career in the UFC, Jones lands 53% of his strikes to the head, 25.4% of strikes to the body, and 21.5% to the legs. Jones strikes at a distance 42.8% of the time, in the clinch 22.4% of the time, and on the ground 34.8% of the time. For his average time in the cage, Jones has spent 73.4% of his time standing, 26.4% on top, and an amazing 0.2% on his back.

Takedown average per 15 minutes: 3.32 (UFC average 1.93)
Takedown accuracy: 63.6% (UFC average 41%)
Takedown defense: 100% (UFC average 55%)
Submission attempts per 15 minutes: 1.11 (UFC average 1.06)







Rashad Evans

Now let’s take a look at the challenger, former UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans:

Rashad Evans’ average of 4.32 takedowns per 15 minutes of fighting is the 2nd highest average in light heavyweight history. He’s managed to takedown every single opponent that he has tried to get to the ground. His takedown accuracy is second only to Jon Jones, with a 53.3% success rate, 2nd best in division history.

Most Takedowns in Light Heavyweight History

Rashad Evans’ 48 career takedowns are more than any light heavyweight has ever earned, but his approach to takedowns has changed considerably as his striking has evolved. Evans scored half of his takedowns, 24, in his first 3 light heavyweight fights and the other 24 his in next 10 contests combined. During those 10 fights, his striking came alive as he recorded 4 of his 5 UFC knockouts


Third-Best Striking Defense in Light Heavyweight History

Much has been made of Rashad Evans’ speed and footwork, and the numbers back up the hype. Evans’ 66.7% career striking defense is superb, the 3rd best in light heavyweight history. Remaining elusive and fleet-of-foot will be helpful skills against someone with the range and style of Jon Jones.

Rashad Evans’ career stats:
Average fight length: 12:59
Knockdown average per 15 minutes: 0.33
Strikes landed per minute: 2.12
Striking accuracy: 39.5%
Strikes absorbed per minute: 1.89
Striking defense: 67.9
Strike differential +/- : 0.23

For his striking career, Rashad Evans throws an incredible 84.4% of his shots thrown at the head, while only 11.2% to the body, and 4.4% to the legs. Even more than his opponent, Evans throws his strikes at distance 47.3% of the time, with 21% coming from the clinch and 31.7% on the ground. Evans stands up 71.9% of the time, 24% of the time on the ground in the top position, and only 4.1% of his time on the bottom on the ground.

Takedown average per 15 minutes: 3.96
Takedown accuracy: 53.3%
Takedown defense: 65.7%
Submission attempts per 15 minutes: 0

If you can get passed the arm break you can see the ring girl show some titties. Turn up the volume.

No idea homie, I'm surprised by all the "Suga britches" Rashad Evans love. First everyone says Bones is the second coming and can't be beat, now everyone believes Rashad is his kryptonite. I just want this shit to live up to hype. I'll try to get y'all some good before and after pictures.

And you might be right about Diaz and this suspension nonsense, his lawyer is going right at Kizer/NSAC and I like it. He hit them with a deadline date for a hearing

[WHITEWIDOW]

I know some might be pissed off but I want Jon Jones to pull this off. I cant count Rashad out because he's proven to have one punch KO power but Jones is on that other level shit right now imo. The rest of the card is garbage also

[downunder]

Jones will execute that pansy
