Cung Le – “This is a very tough fight to call and I can’t decide who will win.”


Thomas Denny – “Shogun has been one of my favorite fighters from my 1st time meeting him @ his pride debut. That being said I think Bones represents the future of MMA this will be a great fight. My heart says Shogun but my money says Bones Jones will leave the octagon 5lbs heavier!”
