-- you -- -- one point six coming up very rapidly we bring in Luke Thomas editor in chief noble dot com. -- some very interesting matchups in this one. Ellis of the Big Three and let's go with the one that lots of people waiting for George Jones vs right there. Yeah really interesting fight and I think. The prevailing wisdom among MMA fans is that John Jones is it's gonna blow right through Ryan -- You're not so sure about that now who like in the fight elect John Jones of the fight I think most of what John Jones of the fight the way he's been able to man handle his opposition. Including your wrestling capable opposition like -- Hammel who gives you an indication he's just got more ways to win. But I get the sense to that Ryan vision is little different than -- Wimbledon human animal clips of him vertically. I think you're gonna see -- literally change elevation get underneath -- really tall guys that -- long limbs John Jones us. And then get on top of the -- we see what works -- -- withdraw jones' court his scrambling abilities defensive wrestling ultimately I think he prevails. But I think Ryan baker really pushes John Jones who in some parts that some questionable -- To limit Jones wins but not it's not as it profoundly as we think he's going to have to actually there was talk about that it's your schedule not too long ago that you were trying to do that just pushed the bar a little bit for George Jones how far can go along and elastic feel I think you can't push in the times where John Jones got tired. He didn't get tired against guys who really beating them up. He targets guys -- wouldn't go away guys who really -- against the moderately tough guy I think my -- gonna push push push and and not really work at a distance where. Jones consider rhythm and groove he's going to be in his face all problem tight. Really kind of just making him just -- getting his arms fire. I think it's gonna be a scrap that's that's gonna be a money in that. I think -- and expecting it really got to bank that super exciting want it'll be exciting -- be excited because it'll be tense not because I think there's going to be fists flying all time. Okay -- rich Franklin and force -- and two guys coming off injuries here which is always an interesting thing to me. You see this from planned out obviously Franklin with a knock out a -- -- -- though but it went into and his arm for scrutinizing top quite awhile here. Do you think every Ross is going to be a difference in this one. Actually mil when Mets gonna affect the to be interest in because the win but to answer the question for the next fight is gonna be slovo reverse of that. Usually would also has conference of the difference easily beatable over usually what I see is the guy who's injured is typical has had a long -- to an injury. He's not gonna perform as well. Griffin has had a very long list but this was a little bit different I think that I could happen again for -- -- blow through both guys are so talented it can lead to -- Just about any guy acts of the top tier. Other division. But I think all things being equal to guys very well rounded the bigger guy usually wins for Griffin for folks who have seen him in person he's gigantic. He's huge. And it really think that he's gonna try to make it an ugly fight as well but what the wrestling. Centric but the right -- gonna do what John Jones. But I think he's gonna lean on him use his size. Both guys are mean I don't think -- knocking -- submit the other guy. And both of them phenomenal shape. I think the one who uses their size the best the ones who use there size the most creatively and awful or tentatively. It's gonna win and that. Favors. Forced Griffin. Now let's get that last fight Anderson Silva coming off that. Amazing victory over -- -- People Belfour again another guy has been on -- -- for awhile you know I'll leave you kind of all Suns. As of right now our points was Anderson for this would -- -- how much realistically does does detour have to do to take the belt away from Henderson and I. The defense and US you know there's a real contingent of MMA fans and experts quite frankly I have to acknowledge it guys whose opinions I respect very much who think mutual Belfour. Really has a chance here. I'm -- one of those guys and obviously -- to a golf course record speaks for itself. Knocked out so many guys some you know he really has. Every tool he needs to defeat in the up opposition that is the middleweight -- light heavyweight -- frankly. But look at his record it's a lot of -- activity and his last fight which Franklin fight -- thought kind of gets up early quite frankly -- the shot to the back of head. Moreover the -- before that Matlin and you know Matlin and a impeccable athletic career but he fought him at a time where his ability to punish principally was not there. Now this will be different because that's when the few guys that the detection or a Stanley innocence of a lot times we see guys that wanna do that they wanna find a way around that always -- that I think he's gonna do -- engage all on the level that Anderson Silva expects them to and both guys are kind of hard to put away it into Ortiz and ready to -- They had to get on top of beatable forged Ryan to want him to put away. I don't really see Anderson Silva doing their I think all will happen is that due to -- for what usually does could be strong starter and accessible might have some issues but eventually. Silva in my judgment I could be wrong. Is gonna make the key adjustments in between rounds -- great things that makes Floyd Mayweather so great. Is that he gets bombed -- early and that comes back it makes his adjustments round after round and just kills guys at the end. Shorter time -- here but it's five rounds I think of the fight goes to a fourth -- fifth round. And so was gonna crush them I could be wrong again to -- before. Off a fantastic competitor. I just don't like -- chances over the long haul five round fight. We know we -- of the total other but do you think -- try to take something out until sort of book just after that performance of mean just look like. Yeah it was just so many issues friends inept to confront you think of regaining sort of wrestling here just threw a couple curve balls -- Anderson medical. Of course he he he should. -- as is -- I don't know but you know. How bad is Russell was ticked on offense it's virtually four guys that level who consider pound for pound it's broccoli nonexistent it's kind of funny go to the top top guys. The -- echo of the would have really bad -- -- -- front -- -- designate. Yeah but -- how good is is is beatable we're wrestling. I think you might get some trip to bounce back NCAA slams democracy singling on the pipes you might those -- the trip and I think what the -- -- about that is. Before you get to the -- that's a big gift as bad as Celtic on offense that is. It before you get to before people go for folks marvelous has. Vicious ground and pound. Really strong -- practically on top like that. The problem is Jocelyn ended up -- forum -- rounds -- triangles. Does this person so -- chin. Is phenomenal fielder BJ Penn walks out of the ring that was lists the top you know characteristic of the fighter. And -- give BJP agreement chance pool you should get Anderson Silva ranch and the guy is almost impossible was last -- -- universal in -- -- to get Iraq. That one punch me it caught -- surprise instill -- That there hasn't been one. All I'm saying is the detour before has a way to win it's just not a very easy when I think there are more offensive opportunities for -- missile. Toms the bitter when wise -- -- us thank you very much have been -- thank you. Next week a special win with the addition of the -- six FO coverage of UFC one point six continues. From quite -- week in Los Vegas Nevada. And until then people were killed by doing enough FaceBook flew off the ball fourth quarter and -- -- the fight to. I'm dusty greens and this has been another dose. Public life.
