Evans had no chance. It happened just as I thought. I didn't think it would make it to 5 rounds though. It must be so frustrating fighting this dude with those long monkey arms. I give Evans credit though for going 5 with him. who can beat jones?

Jones fought a conservative fight, first time I've seen that. ...
I was very impressed by Rory MacDonald.

I remember people saying the same about Brock Lesner and bang, he was down. It takes time for trainers and fighters to figure out strategies. Of course, Jones will also learn and adjust. That is what makes for a good show.
That's a good point and I was one of those people who thought Brock was going to be champ for a long time, and we all know how wrong I was on that one. Jones can be beat, anyone can. When Machida beat Rashad, remember all those cries of the "Machida Era" and Shogun figured him out, so did Jones (I don't count the Rampage decision ). Jones is great though, and I think he is something special. Tremendously versatile with amazing genetic gifts and the best trainer in the business, still I won't go out and say he'll have a run like Anderson Silva, but I certainly think it's possible.
I'm so glad the UFC is back, with the layoff and no football to watch in the interim, I was going nuts.
Any predictions for Miller vs Diaz next weekend?
Most of you know of my hatred of the Diaz brothers and I'm a huge Jim Miller fan, but I'm worried about Little Jim, Nate has a really long reach and is quite good off his back. However, I'm backing my boy, Miller by submission, kneebar.
Pat Barry vs. Lavar Johnson will be fun, two guys with really heavy hands banging. No idea who will win, but it should be fun.
Hendricks vs Koscheck will also be good. Quality power and great wrestling. I think Koscheck takes this one due to his experience.
Belcher vs Palhares, Palhares wins by submission, a leg lock, naturally.
