I don't like the fact that Jones publicly said all Bader has is a double-leg and some sub-par boxing. It's okay to think that but why give your opponent even more motivation to kick your ass? That's just my opinion, I'm old school that way.

With that being said, I think Jones will wreck him. I don't think Bader's wrestling credentials are even as good as Hamill's, can any wrestlers on here confirm that? I'm not trying to be a smartass, I'm genuinely curious. Plus if Nog wore Bader out, what will Jones do to him? Yeah, yeah I know MMA math blah blah blah, but Jones just seems superior to me at this point in their careers.
