I can see Jones TKO'ing Zombie Hendo in the championship rounds.

**noblemountain** · 2012-08-09 22:37

I just can't see a way he KO's Hendo...TKO is possible in the later rounds as people seem to agree. I can however, see Hendo landing one of his haymakers of toothless fury and KO'ing Jones if he gets lucky or Jones gets too cocky.

Pretty much this. I'd be willing to wager on a TKO. Hendo will prolly gas mid 3rd round if not before, depending on how the fight goes. While Jones may not have much KO power, nasty elbows are nasty. Wouldn't be surprised if some ugly ass cut ends up defining the outcome of the fight, a la Lyoto.

jon jones's chin has been tested against repeated strikes by fast, accurate, technical strikers like machida, i can't recall him being tested by a heavy bomb-thrower. it's hard to imagine even jon jones being able to continue standing if an h-bomb hits flush. but to do that hendo would have to get in real close past jones's ridiculous reach, and while hendo has knock out power he's not someone i'd call a technical boxer, so i don't see that happening.

big hendo fan so i'll be cheering for him but yeah i agree, he'll likely gas and, while he won't be completely knocked out, jones's persistence will wear him out to the point where he can't properly defend himself, a la lesnar vs. velasquez. jones by tko or possibly some kind of choke hold 3rd or 4th round

**Xno Kappa** · 2012-08-11 13:25

Hope Okami picks up the W, which he should, that last loss was freaking heartbreaking lol.

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Cowboy

**tyven** · 2012-08-11 14:27

i too am cheering for cowboy, i think its a bit baffling that he is calling out pettis for ducking him though, considering pettis just had shoulder surgery.

**Rhyis.** · 2012-08-11 14:46

Cerrone is all man. He'd call out Jesus for ducking him because he's dead.

Finally my boy Herman fights again. I expect the win streak to move up another notch.

**Rhyis.** · 2012-08-11 19:58

Shields will be a tall order.

**Rhyis.** · 2012-08-11 20:03
