UFC Simulated Title Fight: Jon Jones vs. Dan Henderson

[RaychelSnr]

Jon Jones is in for some interesting times in the coming months.

After pretty much dispatching of any relevant threat — past or present — at light-heavyweight in the UFC over the past year or so, Jones has been flying high. His upcoming fight with Dan Henderson seems like an intriguing match up, though, as Henderson is a pure power striker with a solid wrestling base. His gas tank can be questionable sometimes, but he seems like a legitimate threat to Jones' title. That said, maybe Jones was trying to ready himself for the impact of the fight by getting loaded and totaling his Bentley the other day, but unfortunately only he knows the reasons for his poor choices outside the Octagon.

While I can't simulate Jones driving into a pole, I thought it might be fun to simulate the upcoming Jones-Henderson fight in UFC Undisputed 3. I set the computers to do battle at expert difficulty (because I felt the very top level might produce too many transitions), and I also enabled “simulation” settings for a proper stamina representation. Herb Dean seemed like the logical choice for a referee in title fight, so he got the nod.

Here's the play-by-play of the fight.

I'm quite surprised the fight actually went to a decision. The majority of fights I simulated were finished.

Agreed. It would be sweet if the fight was actually competitive and Jones didn't just dominate Hendo... like he probably will.

I wish THQ would have tweaked the CPU matches. Some of them can be great, most are just reversal-fest.

Jon "Bones" Jones is going to RETIRE Dan Henderson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, Hendo doesn't have the gas to go 5 rounds.
