But where Santos is a wild fighter, Reyes shines when it comes down to fundamentals. He has some nasty angles on crosses and uppercuts.

The one I'm most interested in is Lewis vs Latifi, Latifi was so much shorter than most everyone at LHW it is going to look crazy. But he is so interesting and such a different build I'm interested to see it. But it is another top heavy PPV I will likely not be buying, but if one of my friends does I'd watch it for free. | ||

Gsp vs khabib could maybe happen. And jones could easily fight at HW and he wouldnt even look snall. He always looks giant at lhw, no idea how he seams to be able to cut so much and still be good fight night. Maybe he has hollow bones? | ||

Chookagian vs Shevchenko is gonna be a wash, both counterstrikers with Shevchenko better on every aspect of the game. I just hope that Chookagian will not wait to lose as Liz Carmouche did. And isn't Khabib's weight outside of training camps/fights almost 200 lbs? | ||

If Jones stays predictable - which he has been defensively for a long time - then Reyes has a legit shot in my opinion. It will depends which Jones shows up, if he's playing the long distance counterattack path, that's what would give Reyes the most opportunities. If he's the pressuring fighter, not so much. And I think they will cancel each other's wrestling. Chookagian vs Shevchenko is gonna be a wash, both counterstrikers with Shevchenko better on every aspect of the game.

Im not sure but Jones is apparently is in the 240-250 range. | ||

Khabib might have a shot at Jones if he got John on the ground, but Jones is so much stronger and has so much more reach, I don't know how the hell Khabib would get him in a submission position. | ||

His reach is like 10" longer than anyone else, even guys his height or taller. He's talented and athletic enough to match Khabib's ground game and dominate him on the feet. Personally I'd consider them #1 and 2 p4p (unique take I know). And I think 3 to 1 is terrible odds on anyone until we see JJ actually lose. Jones spent his entire childhood fighting his older brother Chandler Jones who is a NFL pro-bowler, you cant get any better genetics and training than that. | ||
