UFC on Versus 2: Jones vs. Matyushenko Predictions

Jon Jones vs. Vladimir Matyushenko

I don't like certain things Jones does when he throws punches. His kicks are really sharp and he throws them from a distance that doesn't allow for him to be countered, but I think a sharp striker could counter his punches. That being said he's way too fast and long for Matyushenko. Barring some sort of fluke ending I don't see any way Jones loses here. Jon Jones by TKO, round 2.


Yushin Okami vs. Mark Munoz

One might point to the Sonnen fight as a blueprint for Munoz, but it's important to note that Okami was fresh off a torn knee ligament in that fight. I expect the typical Okami counterfest. Yushin Okami by decision.


Takanori Gomi vs. Tyson Griffin

Griffin is a tougher fight than Stevenson imho. Plus after seeing Gomi vs. Florian, I don't see it any other way than Griffin by decision.

Nice call on the Jones fight Twyst he outclassed the janitor by a long shot. He needs to fight someone in the top 5 imo. I had to look at the vera fight again to see that upkick again and your right that upkick was a hard fight he took well.

LoL Gomi throws punches like he's swinging a tennis racket. If that guy could ever figure out what cardio is he could be a contender. I thought he was gonna gas by the end of the first then bam right hook from hell.

Haha, so true bro. Yea Jones always impresses me. He's a fucking savage. I really enjoyed that Ellenberger vs. Howard match. He had remarkable control over a tough fighter. Howards busted eye was as ugly as I have ever seen.
