Nah he had Rumble as the #1 guy and Evans at #2.

Oh, thanks for clearing it up. Thought he had himself #1 and Evans #2.

It was still pretty interesting to see him on Twitter and actually responding to a lot of the fans' lists.

Happy for Rumble. I liked what he said after the fight as well...having said that - I don't think it's a good matchup vs Jones, but I hope I'm wrong. I think Gus has a better shot at beating Jones, so I hope he gets to dance with Jones again.

It's true Rumble has huge power, I've always thought he was dangerous, but I don't think he can hit Jones. Bones stance is more straight up than traditional, so even though his chin isn't as tucked, it's a greater distance and really akward to hit - with Gus' style, he has such slick boxing and combinations with reach he could regularly find a home for his punches. Rumble is going to load up more, than throw 4 and 5 punch combinations and I think Jones may be able to get him down if he wants to and I'm half expecting that to be the gameplan, along with constant rhythm interruptions with the knee sidkicks and E Honda hands lol.

I'll be hyped for it, I just don't see Anthony winning it.

I thought I saw the headbutt but the angle on TV didn't show it clear enough. I don't think it had a ton of affect, but it sure didn't help right after the punch.

Yeah, Gus said he didnt even feel the headbutt and the right hand landed first.

i can't imagine how hard it is for Gus to get beaten up in front of a huge fan base. Rumble is a beast. You better watch out JBJ!
