Wow i dont think i have seen this many live challengers for belts in a really long time. Would the stars fall from the sky if we have all new champs come 2014?
Jds vs Cain - both have one win a piece, anyone can win, i think we see a much better JDS after he has felt cains power
Jones vs gustafsson - least likely to change imo
Weidman vs Silva - think weidman comes in even better and takes the belt home again.
GSP vs Hendricks - best wrestler gsp has faced with the most KO power. I think this is a live challenger.
Pettis vs henderson - pettis beats him again.

The odds are totally against him. Jones has better wrestling,huge reach advantage,better jitz and top control,and a more overall complete striking game. But if Gusto can come in with a good mind set and a well thought out gameplan and can control the cage, he has a very good chance.

i agree but i just see him getting subbed inside 3 rounds

Thats very possible, or get controlled and survive round 1, then get obliterated in round 2 from Jones' elbows from hell. But maybe Gusto can throw in one of his famous upper cuts and check jones. After watching UFC 162 live...i believe Gusto has the skills to pull off an upset like that.

i hope you're right How long has it been since his last fight i know its not due to a major injury but that may come into play as well

He hasnt fought since the FOX 5 card but he was prepped for the FUEL 9 so im sure hes still in great shape. As long as he is in good shape and has the cardio to keep a good pace via his foot work, he can keep it competitive at the very least.

Yeah I don't see Gustafsson or Hendricks winning. On the flipside we know damn well Pettis & Junior can win cause they've done it already.

Imagine if this next fight is like the first fight. The stakes are just a tad bit higher.

JDS - I just think he avoids the big shots and is able to keep the tdd going. Catches Cain at some point.
Jones - Gustafsson's only shot comes early until Jones has him figured out. Phil Davis style - takedown -> sub.
Silva - Weidman wins round 1, everybody circle jerks, Silva KO in round 2 when Weidman gasses out. My guess is this time the knees come out.
GSP - Avoids the power, outstrikes Hendricks on the feet. Likely a decision.
Benson - Similar to Pettis / Henderson 1, difference is Henderson is a smarter striker now and avoids Pettis' power. Also doesn't get video game kicked in the last minute of round 5. Holds on to the title with a decision of some kind.

JDS(sucks cuz im a big fan of both, i think cain will end up on top on the third)
Bones/gus dont care(rak room shoes)
Silva(please oh please)
GSP(but wishing condit was champ)
Pettis(bendo acts very intense and doesn't deliver, he goes in there guns blazing but always just gets by)
if anderson wins, that will make me happy long time, and i wouldn't even be disapointed if gsp lost by whatever, and yes i changed my vote, didn't really think about it till now

On a side note, I hope JDS wins, I know its unrealistic but if he can just adapt to machidas style and stay outside while throwing quick combinations BEFORE cain can get in that would be great. . .
