We have a beast of a fight as UFC LHW champion, Shogun Rua takes on the very highly rated Jon "Bones" Jones. A fight we could very well see soon happens now.

As always, vote for the fighter you think will win, how they win and in what round.
I'm actually quite stuck on this one, first instinct was to go for Jones but with Shogun's BJJ Im not sure he could control him so easily. Tough one for me.
I can just see Bones using his wrestling to continously take Shogun down and frustrate him and tire him out. Takedown defence is one of Shogun's biggest weaknesses and while he might get up 9 times in a row, he's going to be so tired that by the 10th time Bones takes him down Shogun will be done. Move to side control, into mount and then a barrage of elbow.
