Jones only really struggles with fighters his own size. Against smaller fighters he always has the reach, decent enough striking and dirtyass open palms to limit forward movement, and obviously the threat of the takedown.
Rooting for Teixeira because I'd love to see a shake up of the division.:myman:

My predictions

Prelims

Beal UD
Castillo UD
Corerria UD
Gomi UD
Benevidez TKO RD1 (why is this fight not on the main card)

Main Card

Fili Vs Holloway.

I don't know much about Fili other then hes with Alpha and he looked impressive in his last fight that he filled in for. Holloway is a good young fighter who still has a lot of upside. He may have to leave UFC to get to the next level at this point in his career. I got Fili by UD but it could go either way.

Miller vs Meirdos

Can fight for Miller. This should have been moved to the prelims. Miller Sub RD2

Rockhold vs Boestch

Rockhold is bigger and faster then Boestch. He will pick Tim apart and eventually finish him. Boestch has fell off hard(remember when he was being discussed for a title shot) Rockhold TKO RD2

Davis vs Johnson

Johnson stepping back into tough competition and hes facing the worst possible matchup. Davis is an athletic with the best pure wrestling in that division. If only his striking was up too par. Johnson never looked good against good wrestlers as evidence when Koscheck smothered him in his last stint. Johnson is a solid wrestler with some KO power, but Davis has a decent chin and is pretty good at avoiding power strikes. In the end, I think Davis will be too much for Johnson. He will use his grappling to neutralize Johnson's striking for the UD.

Jones vs Texeria

This fight will more then likely be a repeat of the Jones vs Rampage fight and is really a stopgate between the Gus rematch. Texeria has heavy hands and good grappling, but he is slow as fukk. Hes too flat footed to close the distance and land his shot. I expect Jones to keep him at bay with his leg/thigh kicks and jabs. He then will use his wrestling in later rounds for the stoppage. Jones TKO RD4

I see Jones wearing him down and getting either a sub or tko later in the fight. Glover's striking style and body type won't let him get a big, clean shot in. He's not explosive enough to shoot in from range either.
