I'm picking Rumble based on the fact Rumble isn't scarred to bite down on his mouth piece and swarm Jones. Rumble easily has the heaviest hands in the division right now and I'm not sure Jones is used to people pressuring him. Plus Jones has never been known for one punch power, most of his finishes are by submission. Even when he "TKO'd" Shogun, Shogun wasn't actually out and was tapping to strikes. Jones has even proven to be a little chinny when people do actually tag him, he got a little rocked by both Rashad Evans and Lyoto Machida. If Rumble catches him and then swarms him I can see him winning.

If Jones wins it's gonna be if he keeps his distance, tires Rumble out and manages to get a take down and a submission in later rounds.

Jones doesn't seem to have much punching power, I don't think there's any question about that. But he's crazy unpredictable with his elbow strikes which are pretty lethal, and his ability to wrestle and check dudes with front kicks or that savate style shin kick make it difficult to get in on him. Even if you do press him and get close, he's a world class wrestler and has shown incredible ability to land those elbow strikes or even just lean on a dude and control the action that way. But I agree, I think he probably can be pressured, but what worked best for Gustaffson was his side to side and in and out movement if I remember correctly. Jon's standup game isn't flawless, but if you can't match his reach, it's really difficult to overcome that.

Not a bad stoppage the refs are SO SLOPPY. If the ref didn't tackle Mousasi he would have kept that top position Dan would have got smashed

Rumble/Jones should be fun, i hope Anthony pulls it off, Gus is a class act though. I have even more respect for after Rumble clipped him, nothing but praises from Gus and The Sweedish fans are also very classy.

Bones is gonna clinch and do bo's and knee's, and play with the clock. Bones is a more technical then Rumbles kinda sloppy style, but I don't see Bones exchanging in the pocket. he'd get slept.
