Joking? Nobody likes Rashad. They just want him to stomp Jones. After Jones stomps Rashad, everyone will root for the next person in line to fight Jones. They won't root for Jones.
I love when underdogs win most of the time. Chandler going against Alvarez, Edgar taking on Penn, etc... but not so much on this fight. I'm going for Jones!
For me, Rampage and Machida were just throw away fights for Jone title, so i didn't like those fights. Evans at least is a top LHW.

I usually root for the older and/or shorter man. Just like I wouldn't think I'm a badass if I beat up someone who is 5'2". But it would be quite a spectacle for me to beat up someone who is 6'2".

Hes definitely been humbled but beating Page and Tito and snapping Phil and Jones "undefeated" status would get him back to normal....
Wait Jones vs Rashad is the fight to see who is the baddest black dude in UFC.

I'm cheering for Jones all the way in this one. I can't believe people want to see him lose so bad because he's "cocky". Kids 24 years old and has destroyed all your favorite fighters. THE CHAMP IS HERE.

I was a fan of Jones for his fight style. Then he blew up and you get to see a of how he is and what he is about. Once he signed up to fight Shogun it was over for me. Similar to BJ Penn and Matt Hughes I will pretty much never cheer for the guy. Unless he faces someone like I dislike even more like like when BJ fought Diaz or Hughes fought Kos when I became their biggest fan for the fight.
Even if I dislike him I will continue to enjoy watching his fights because he is just that damn talented.

Getting knocked out dont stop people from being cocky. I guess memory loss is a side effect of getting your bell rung.

hes been a champ.
already been knocked out before.
had a long career successful career
lost in wrestling before.
He was cocky to begin with.
Beating a former training partner that you are confident in beating shouldnt make you cockier.
Rashad has always been rashad to me

Agreed.
I dont like him, but there is no denying his abilities.
I'm definitely rooting for Rashad in this, but am fully prepared to be let down and have my wife and one of my best friends rub it in all weekend :|
