UFC 172 - Jones vs Teixeira

Probably a little early for this thread but I know some people on here follow MMA/UFC. Pay Per View Saturday night.

Thoughts on Jon Jones vs Glover Teixeira?
Phil Davis vs Anthony Johnson?

Phil Davis smack talk vs Jon Jones?

I'm guessing that Jones wins on a decision, although I hope Teixeira wins just to shake up the class.

Phil Davis is my pick for his fight, by knockout.

 

I'll admit.... haven't been following/watching like in the past. Was costing me too dang much $ with how many PPV's they have now.

Texteira could be a handful for Jones, but I believe Jones has too much length & elusiveness to avoid anything Texteira will have for him. Jones by decision is my guess.

Davis over Johnson by TKO in whatever round. Johnson gasses too early fighting at LHW (used to fight at Welterweight).

 

you were who i had in mind when posting this thread. usually pretty accurate on your predictions.

 

I'm hoping Jones holds on to the title so Gustafsson can take it away from him.

 

Honestly i used to be a huge fan. Never watch it now. Its so over-saturated. It seems like there is one almost every weekend.

 

so you were a fan before it became popular?

know how i know you are a hipster?

 

Lol. I was actually a old school fan. This is a personal friend of mine ive known since high school.

I'll be there. I can post up the results as soon as they happen.

 

you got good seats? i went to one in vegas and pretty much watched the action on the jumbotron since it seems better viewing was had there than actually trying to see the octagon.

now i just stay home with some friends and my couch and my kegerator.

 

Vegas is mega $$$$ for a good seat. I've been going to NJ and Virginia when they have them. Decent seats for around $250. Not cheap, but you'd need to carry your oxygen if you paid $250 for a seat in Vegas for UFC. So far, the actual fighters were larger to watch live than on the jumbotron.
