TUF 10 Finale Preview: Jon Jones Is The Underdog Against Matt Hamill?

That's what the folk at UFC.com say anyways.  You probably remember me doing this last week for UFC 106, and other weeks for previous UFC events.  To their credit, they have gotten every fight correct since I've been doing this dating back to UFC 104, regardless of if they've gotten gifts from the judges or not.

Of course it's almost even, but you would think the hype that Jon Jones brings to the table would have him as the favorite.  However, Hamill is tough as nails and does hit pretty hard along with his wrestling background.  What say you?

I like Matt Hamill. I just think Jon is too much for him.

I wonder if Jones will be able to finish Hamill?

i won't believe it till i see the moneyline. if jones is even a +120 i'm putting 400 on him

jones is soo much faster. it’s just a bigger version of aldo vs brown

yes i am obsessive, obnoxious, in your face and all about covering the spread. those are my good qualities.

If Franklin could finish Hamill, I don’t see why Jon Jones can’t do the same.

Well

Franklin has a lot more experience than Jones…Hamill is probably better now than he was at UFC 88….

Striking wise, I say Jones prob has the edge. Hamil is still a lil sloppy in that area. Wrestling? I think Jon Jones has the edge as well.

I’m interested in seeing how much improvement he made under Greg Jackson and that other guy(can’t remember is name) that trains GSP.
