I've seen it man, how no-one has never picked up on it before is a mystery to me.

Wonder who will replace him in fighting Santos though, Mir?

There's been rumours abound for years about Overeem. He did a 'Ferdinand' during a pre Lesner test and there was some debate about that fight taking place. Overeem & UFC had to basically beg the Nevada State Athletic Commission to allow him to fight.

You can bet your ass the 'surprise' drugs tests at the 146 news conference would have been anything but.

Good shout regarding Mir. He's there or there abouts in the heavyweight scene. Only issue UFC has is does Mir vs Dos Santos sell the same as Overeem vs Dos Santos?

[meffin]

Mir is the only name I can come up with, absolutely no depth in the HW division of UFC. I'd like to see John Barnett and Daniel Cromier brought over, although JDS would best both easily.

Fedor v JDS anyone?

Its weird, 4 months ago it seemed like there was loads. Now with Brock and Overeem gone, its nothing.

JDS v Hunt would be an absolute slug fest

I was just going to suggest that.

Seems logical. Hunt has a head made from titanium. I'm sure Dos Santos could punch him from now until next January and not make a dent.

Only problem with Hunt is that he has no ground game and he's not the type of athlete who could do an ultra-marathon.

Still he's on a roll and all things considered Hunt vs Dos Santos would probably, albeit marginally, a better fight than Dos Santos vs Mir.

Jones Vs Evans on Saturday, can anyone see past Bones?

I have a feeling that Evans could nick it.

Why do you think Evans could nick it? Punchers chance or something more?

For what it's worth i think Jones will put on a clinic.

[Nicey]

Evans has lost only once, he is a wrestling venom and has by far the best boxing in world mma, Jones is special for sure, but a lot of his game is his opponents fear, Evans does not have that. I also know Evans boxing coach, he will be teaching him some new tricks, he taught Hendo that overhead right. Finally a lot of fighters like Evans in this fight, I predict he going to light Jones up.

[Suarez]

Jones seems to be on another level to me, he'll win it within 2.

[Nicey]

I predict Jones will get knock the **** out probably from a left hook

Is Evans bringing a step ladder into the ring? 8.5 inch reach advantage for Jones, Evans aint getting near those whiskers.

No seriously you didn't just try and compare the two, did you?

x infinity

[meffin]

I'd like to see rashad win and I think he will be jones' toughest test yet, but Jones will win.

Also I disagree with you Nicey, Evans boxing is nowhere near the best in MMA.
