DJohn is a legend of the picks..
Former 2 time champion..
Haha thanks for the introduction dbreiden!
Im going to elaborate on my picks a little.
* Champ Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort (for middleweight le)-Ive always loved Anderson like dbreiden loves GSP but my patience is wearing away with him. If anyone beats him I want it to be Vitor, but I think Anderson knows Vitor will be dangerous and will finish this fight.
* Forrest Griffin vs. Rich Franklin-This will be a war. Probably a decision but if its finished Rich will be the one walking away the victor.
* Ryan Bader vs. Jon Jones-Bader is a very very good fighter with an improving all around game, but Jon Jones s people up. This wont be any different
* Antonio Banuelos vs. Miguel TorresThis is a really good fight. Banuelos is a good pickup from WEC but in the end Torres will be too much.
* Paul Kelly vs. Donald Cerrone-I love me some Cerrone. Hes just too good for Paul.
You know i hear some people saying "Bader will be the toughest test yet" I think that is all just on paper.. Bones like GSP is chewing these wrestlers up and spitting them out.. Hammill got man-handled in that fight like never before.. I don't see Bader getting much done here other than a big right hand landing. I think that will be his plan to keep it up with Bones..
I pretty much agree with that. I do think Bader will be his toughest test, but hes not a huge upgrade over Hamill yet. I think Bader will continue to develope into a very good fighter, but at this point Bones is just too good. He has tremendous takedowns, an ever improving standup, vicious elbows, insane athleticism, a wrestling background, and with that athleticism and flexibility at his young age...if he wants to learn some submissions I see nothing stopping him from becoming dangerous at that too. Bottom line is Bader is a good fighter, but Bones is the real deal.
Bones might get too confident and Bader can use this against him.
I think you do not give much of a credit to Ryan who is a beat.
Different animal then Jones but a beast, and he can take Jon down.
I can see why youd think that. Bader is undefeated, hes no joke...hes forreal. Hes a very good wrestler with a heavy hand. But Jon Jones is just too quick and well rounded. I think Bader is the best fighter Jones has fought, but as far as him overlooking Bader or becoming over confident, I just dont see that happening. Every interview Ive read or watched with Jones, he just strikes me as a very humble fighter. Could it happen? Of course it could. I just dont see it.
Bader is big and smart, but the wins under his hat aren't nearly as impressive as how Bones has done it. It's not just who you beat, it's how - and Bones has broken everyone in his last 5 fights.
Bader's best chance is sleeping on top of Bones for 3 rounds or trying to KO him...I think he'll try to KO him with that right hand because Jones might not be ready to get punched like that considering that no one else has succeeded. The other option is leg kicks, Jones has chicken legs, but I don't think we'll see it. Meanwhile, Jones can spin kick and punch, flying knee, judo, elbow, clinch, and put Bader in a crucifix...so yea.

Just goes to show how new I am to MMA; while watching the UFC 126 Countdown Belfort was talking about his sister was kidnapped in Brazil and still hasn't been heard from.
From the Press Conference there was definitely tension between Bader and Bones; which is weird because there wasn't really any trash talk between the two of them (as far as I remember).
Silva
Franklin
Jones
Torres
Cerrone
