It seems like forever ago that Machida was the dude that no one could figure out. The dude that no one could even so much as lay a hand on. Well, it's 2011 and nowadays that dude is Jon Jones and he is prolly gonna beat Machida pretty handily this Saturday.

That's pretty much my prediction for UFC 140. Jones by death. Well not exactly death maybe by 3rd round KO? How does that sound? Pretty good to me. I mean come on, Machida is really good, super good. He and his mysterious Karate style are two of my favorite things about the UFC but Bones Jones is just that good. I don't think he's the best thing walking the Earth like some people do but he's put some severe beatings on dudes that never get seriously beat (Shogun). 

Dude, do you remember that fight with Matt Hamill? Well Jones lost that fight by DQ but he beat Hamill within an inch of his life and while Hamill is not the best fighter in the UFC he's no joke. 

When it was over and Matt was lying there holding his head I swear that I turned to my wife and said "I think that Hamill might die right here. I think we've seen the first death in the octagon" I was being factitious but there was a morsel of the truth in my statement. The truth being that Hamill looked pretty fucked up. 

Don't get me wrong, I think that Machida has a chance. He possesses the power of Karate (One punch.One kill). He was trained by the immortal icon of Japanese wrestling, Antonio Inokiand he's a former champ with a lot of good wins under his belt. Machida is the real deal. Jones is still going to beat his ass though.

I see the fight starting slow with Machida waiting for Jones to come to him. After a bit Jones will engage and just like Machida has done to other dudes Jones is confuse him with some severely athletic off the wall striking. Weird punches and super long kicks, things like that.

Jones is just too athletic for Machida. He's too athletic for just about everyone at this point. It's always possible that he has started to believe his own hype which could lead to his downfall but from what I've seen of Jones he seems like a pretty humble dude who doesn't let that junk get to his head. I could be wrong though. I've never met him or anything but homie seems mad nice.
