Would love to see Hendo catch him with a shot, but as much as I love to watch him fight, cant see him lasting a few rounds. Too old, too slow, and at the same disadvantage of length/size. Not sure how one can get close enough without taking serious damage to get him to the ground. Also, not sure how that frame of JJs gets to 205, he looked like all of 225 ish to me last night. Look, I am a huge fan of Hendo, but his clinch work and or greco wrestling is to me more positioning and pinning someone against cage, where JJ's is some throws and crazy strikes combined. Can Hendo get lucky to land the bomb on him, perhaps, but just dont see how he even gets close enough.

Yep Jr that is the problem. Everyone wants to get in close but no one does because they fear getting smashed if they did. Those elbows Jones thru were like Jabs because his limbs are so long.

My only for Jones is that they move him up to fight JDS sooner rather than later. Nobody is going to come close to him at LHW. The fact is he's very young and just getting better. It's scary to think of what kind of fighter he'll be in 3-4 years.

IMO he has a chance to go down as the clear #1 fighter ever. A fight between he and JDS would be epic.

i rather see him and Silva go at it. Silva would puss out tho and say he wants GSP instead. Silva has advantages at 185 that Jones has at 205.

I would like to see Silva as well. The only reason I don't like that fight is because at any point Jones could take him down. If Jones were to fight JDS I'm not so sure he could take him down if the fight wasn't going well for him standing.

Cain vs Bigfoot is an interesting fight to me. I want to see how Cain comes back from getting his face knocked off.

The guys that get caught and admit it seem to be out of the news as fast as they are in it. The guys trying to bullshit people seem to stay in the news forever. Go figure.
