UFC 135 Jon "Bone" Jones vs Quinton "Rampage" Jackson



UFC 135 will be a title fight between Jon "Bone" Jones vs Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. The fight will be on september 24,2011 at Pepsi Center Denver Colorado. Jon Jones will defend his light heavyweight belt against Rampage Jackson. Supporting bout in the welterweight is the Hall of Famer Matt Hughes vs Diego Sanchez.

Fight prediction between Rampage and Jones:

Both fighters are very dangerous and explosive. Rampage is one of those fighters that can throw heavy bombs into his opponents. Were is Jones could also do the same thing either a series of punches or kicks. The fight could end either both ways were in if Rampage can connect a big shot then Jones would be in a bad shape. Or the other way around if Jones could establish himself and gain momentum then Rampage would end up like Mauricio Shogun Rua.

Both Fighters are skilled and would do anything to stop there opponents. But I guess Jones would have his advantages on his speed and style. Since Rampage recent fight was focusing on his striking attacks. And if Jones could mix his combo really good then Rampage would be in bad shape. Jones could stir all his strikings from his punches down to his leg kicks. And if Jones can do that then he can actually defend his title. Jones can also wear down Rampage and could also do some take down to drain Rampage's stamina. But Jones has to be careful since Rampage can connect those heavy bombs even if they are down on the ground.

if Rampage can caught Jones either a strong punch or a power slam. Then we gonna see another TKO via power slam courtesy of Rampage Jackson. And Rampage could also develop his leg kicks then this makes him a very deadly striker. Not only capable of throwing heavy punches but also vicious leg kicks.





Matt Hughes vs Josh Koscheck

Matt Hughes should dominate this fight in order to redeem himself after a quick defeat he suffered from his previous fight with BJ Penn. Matt Hughes got TKO within just 20 seconds when BJ Penn Connected his punches. In order for Matt Hughes to bring back his confidence he has to explode from this fight. But the enemy that Matt Hughes will face is someone that loves to have a raw fight. Josh Koscheck is not gonna back down to whoever is the opponent he faces. Josh Koscheck posses a very significant threat a very dangerous opponent for Matt Hughes that has good stand up and ground skills and wrestling techniques.

Both this fighters will bring it on inside the octagon. As Matt will do everything to defeat his enemy and also with Josh Koscheck. If Matt Hughes can take down Josh Koscheck then Matt should also consider Kosheck's wrestling abilities. Since we all know how physically strong Matt Hughes can be after all this years. Hughes could make Koscheck tap by submitting him or knock him out via vicious punches.
