Something tells me the Mousasi-Hendo fight turns into something of a showcase for Gregard. Hoping for a war and always a fan of Hendo but this is a tough matchup for him at his age

i'd be shocked if gus won this, but it couldn't happen to a better guy. i hate picking a winner in this one, but gus won't be able to take johnson down, and striking with him is a scary thought.

I honestly don't see Rumble winning, I am a huge fan of him but I think Gus keeps him away with his footwork and boxing. Very excited for this fight.

I want to bet on Rumble so bad. Maybe do a small Hendo/Rumble parlay...fuck it, lol.

rumble has a 78in. reach, and gus has 79in., so gus won't have a lot of room to work with there. he's had a pretty good chin so far, but it will be tested a lot in this fight.

Going to be an interesting fight.

Hopefully it will be a fucking barn burner.

i think Gus takes a few early shots but uses his footwork and length to negate a lot of Johnson's power - his strategy is probably pressure him early and wear on him against the cage and take advantage of him in the later rounds.. Should be a great fight

I think you're prediction could be pretty accurate, I was going to type something similar. AJ has been around long enough now and knows the trades offs between his power and Gus' footwork. Lol Nog isn't on the same level as Gus by any means but AJ made that look way too easy, same as he did to Phil who doesn't gas. Great match up either way and I'll probably out a little money on AJ just in case. I really think Gus has the better chance at beating Jones and I want to see LHW get mixed up soon so I'll be rooting for him.

I didn't realize their reach was this close. Yeah, Gus' chin is going to get tested for sure lol.
