Is Jones the "next big thing"? He has pretty much destroyed everybody put in front of him, most recently Mauricio Rua, Vladimir Matyushenko, Ryan Bader and Brandon Vera after getting DQ'd for illegal elbows (a ridiculous call) again Matt Hamill as he was murdering him.
Rampage is more in the twilight of his career with consecutive decisions over Lyoto Machida and Matt Hamill. But this is mixed-martial-arts. Anything can happen. Rampage looks good and seems very motivated, something which has been question in some recent fights.
Should be fun.
