UFC 135 Fight Card: Speed and Youth Will Be Deciding Factor in Jones vs. Jackson

Raise your hand if you think Quinton Jackson is going to win. Anyone? No one? Yeah, that sounds about right.

Jon Jones is likely the best athlete that the UFC has seen and is one of UFC's best pound-for-pound fighter.

Jackson is not as talented of a fighter as he was in his prime, but he has been destroying fighters for the past decade. When he steps into the ring, he immediately attacks his opponents. He doesn't hold back, and he has a ton of power.

Jones relies on speed, unorthodox striking and ridiculous submission techniques.

Jackson does have the experience edge against Jones, but his stand-up fighting style tends to wear down fighters, which was evident by his fight with Rashad Evans. He was dominated by Evans,  much like he will be dominated by Jones.

The biggest factor in this fight will be Jones' speed. He is lighting fast, quick and very tough to get a grasp on. He is a spark plug inside the cage and will constantly be on the move inside the ring. He won't give Jackson the opportunity to land one of his huge punches, as he will stay moving around throughout the fight.

The speed that Jones brings to the ring is unmatched in the light heavyweight division. Jackson is going to be in for a long, difficult fight against Jones.

Jackson could get lucky and land a huge punch, but chances are he will find himself knocked out late in this fight.
