Jon Bones Jones is back, and so is free UFC on tv! UFC on Versus 1 was a huge success and I’d imagine this will be as well.

There is no possible way that I feel Jon “Bones” Jones will ever lose to Vladimir Matyushenko (barring a weird disqualification). Even if the +400 tempts you, no chance. Maty is old, Jones and young and just too good. This is a lock.

In my opinion, one of the most overated fighters ever had to be Takanori Gomi. Though I enjoy watching his fighting style, I don’t think he was ever that great, and was overjoyed when Diaz “beat” him. Tyson Griffin has since evolved into a great fighter and should have no trouble simply “outskilling” Gomi.

Here is an upset to take a look at, Mark Munoz definately has a chance to win over Yushin Okami. Okami still doesn’t try to finish, and Munoz definately has both the wrestling and GnP skills for a decision win here.

Here is another upset possibility, how is John “Doomsday” Howard an underdog here? This guy is Knockout of the Night potential and he is an underdog vs Ellenberger who still hasn’t proven much in the octagon so far? Take Doomsday for sure here.

Another upset potential in the preliminaries is Demarques Johnson over Matthew Riddle
