how much of a chance is everyone giving evans?

[IKnowuWannaBeMe]

This usually happens when a fighter goes on a good win streak. When Machida KO'd Rashad and beat Shogun the first time everybody said he was unbeatable, just like Jones and look what happened. Everybody said Fedor was unbeatable, look what happened. For some reason people have always hated on Rashad but is a top notch fighter who has KO power (that Jones doesn't have), very good wrestling, good speed and is a well rounded fighter. He can easily beat Jones if he has the right gameplan. He could easily lose as well.

Rashad has a 50/50 chance of winning just like anybody does in any fight.

Jones has one weakness. wrestlers

[duallie]

the more wins a fighter racks up, means that loss is closer and closer each time.
odds say so.
yes, when they have a long undefeated streak, odds also say that they should win their next fight, because of their record.
but, at the same time, everyone loses.
and the longer one goes without losing, means that his number is going to catch with him at some point.

look at fedor.
he didn't lose to werdum because he was lesser of a fighter, or that he was past his prime.
he made a crucial mistake.
he was virtually unbeatable going into that fight.
but his number came up.
and i believe his confidence has never been the same since.

there are still questions about jones.
we still haven't seen someone able to wrestle with him.
we still havent seen him in trouble, and how he copes with it.

i'm fully expecting jones to retain his belt.
but i'm still confident that rashad has what it takes to dethrone him.

Fedor was on the precipice of losing for some time before it came. He almost got finished by Brett Rogers for fuck sake

[Asso]

A decent chance considering this fight's going to decision.

[AXEMELL]

Jon Jones nut huggers think Jon Jones is God.

I worship Satan so i dont think Jones is God. I jus think he will never lose....

The only people who have a chance are Rashad, Thiago Silva and maybe Machida if they fought again.
Or if Roy Nelson really drops to LHW then i think that Roy would have the best chance.

almost doesn't mean shit.
sonnen "almost" beat silva.
arlovski "almost" beat fedor.
diaz "almost" beat condit.

shit, fedor's career is almosts.
fujita and randleman "almost" beat him.

[rascalraidex]

Not giving him much of a chance. Really not too impressed with Evans... just another wrestle-boxer...

[MMA Addict]

Everyone is just jealous that Rashad's ego is small.

[tomthedon]

yeah evans has got a good chance at gettin the belt, we no hes trained with him and will no how he moves, even though mma fighters evolve after constant traing diff sparing partners diff martial arts, the origanal blueprints there and jon jones nos rashad nos this.exciting fight carnt wait to see it, still got jbj to win,wana see him against hendo.

[MuayCrim]

15% here. He knows what Jones brings more then anyone. He's already sparred with him...has an idea of the timing and reach. The problem is that Jones is just the better fighter.

is he really the better fighter or his his reach going to gain him the advantage as usual?

was Jones not allowed to learn in these training sessions people keep bringing up? I look at like Jones has trained with Rashad as well and should have an idea about what he will do as well. I mean since they have stopped training together, I feel it is Jones who has changed/evolved/improved the most.

Evans' striking under Tyrone Spong has improved dramatically. His speed/quickness/technique have all been very good his last couple fights.

I say Jones wins, but I'm giving Rashad a better chance most apparently. I say its something like 65/35 for Jones.

WAR Rashad tho.
