I'm gonna say Cerrone over Khabib, my reasons:

Khabib has a weak guard, this fight will be over if Khabib has to fight off of his back.

Reach advantage goes to Cerrone. Cerrone is probably the best at his weight class in using his reach, yes over Pettis. besides, I think Cerrone's striking is far superior, Khabib is just reckless when he strikes.

I'm gonna agree with you on Rumble Johnson. I think Bones is on his last leg and his antics put a hurt on his game I don't think he goes into this fight focused. I think Bones' best bet to winning is taking him down, his ground game should give him a better chance. Although we have yet to see Rumble work off his back, I'm gonna say his BJJ still isn't there and Rumble keeps this fight standing.

Yeah the Cerrone vs Khabib fight is really interesting. Cerrone has the edge on the feet and is slick with the submissions, really hard to call that one. Ive been going back and forth between thinking Khabib can keep it on the ground en route to a decision but I could also see him getting caught in something like a triangle because of Cerrones length.

Ya, it seems like every time now that Jones fights somebody else that has really good standup, he tries to go more for the clinch game or ground, and he's really good at both. I would love to see Jones just straight up fight Rumble, but I doubt that will happen. Does Rumble even have a ground game? He better be ready for that, if not Jones will win and possibly even dominate him.

i think it will actually happen, jones's last few fights looks like his MO has been to beat people at their own game.

He did stand up against Teix and Sonen, but he had a pretty big advantage there. I give him a lot of credit in the Gustaf fight, that was fight of the year s**t, but I didn't like how he approached his fights against Vitor and Cormier, even though Cormier was fighting like a p***y as well.

Gustaf was the toughest fight of his career, but he if he stands up against Rumble (which wouldn't be smart), I think he'll go to sleep.
