UFC 128 Fight Predictions

I went with Rua largely because he has been there, i.e. the experience factor, and I was influenced by Jones' apparent overtraining sickness presented on the Spike special on Jones on Thursday night.

It is possible, of course, that Jones was faking sickness on the Spike show to plant a seed with Rua, e.g. Pacquiao training camp "issues" documented on HBO 24/7 prior to his fight with Margarito (and Cotto for that matter) that clearly either didn't exist or amazingly had no effect on Pacman's performance come fight night, but I don't think Jones has the brilliance of someone like Arum behind him necessary to pull that off.

Without further ado, my predictions for tonight's fights via Tapology:
