I was thinking how this matchup has a lot of similarities.
Rampage has the punching power, boxing, head movement, experience, composure, and is the underdog. JDS has the punching power, great boxing, good movement, been in there with more known HW's than Cain, and JDS is the underdog.
Bones and Cain are both well rounded. Have the wrestling down. Takedowns. More diverse in the striking department. Cain has good boxing, movement, head movement, knees, good kicks, good combos, mixes it up well. Bones has great movement, punches, kicks, knees, flying knees, elbows, spinning strikes, good combos, ect.....and Cain and Bones are the favorite.
The wrestling might decide the fight. But who has a bigger chance of winning? Page or JDS?
..and is JDS a blackbelt in BJJ???

But Big Nog stated before UFC 131 that JDS will recieve his Black Belt soon.

One thing that is completely different about both fights is the fact that Jones has an 11.5" reach advantage on Rampage.
Based on this alone I'd say that JDS has the bigger chance of winning because his opponent does NOT have an 11.5" reach advantage.

Another point is Rampage really hasn't seemed interested in finishing a fight since The A Team and JDS always comes to finish whether he does or not.

So you are saying that the beatings JDS gave both Carwin and Roy Nelson he wasn't trying to finish the fight? Or are you saying that Rampage was the aggressive brawler that he used to be in his last 3?
