I really dont see anyone beating Jones at LHW. Probably ever. I see him going down someday as one of the best ever.

Lol highly doubt it, all this after only beating 2 good fighters in rua and machida, id like to see him beat belfort and henderson after evans then you could say that, even then all these fighters besides machida are past there prime theres no one really young and great to fight him.

40 year old Hendo?? Please?? And Belfort?? Not a problem, Belfort doesnt beat good fighters.

Jones beat all of his opponents effortlessly, dont try to knock it. Machida was in his prime and Jones destroyed him with ease. Jones will NOT lose at LHW. Remember where you heard it.

[joey83]

I bet you he will, i reckon if he fights silva in a megafight he loses.

[TFK]

I'd have to pick Jones over Evans. Like 10 said, Jones isn't just winning, he's winning effortlessly, against some damn good fighters.

I'd give Belfort absolutely zero chance against Jones. Him still being thought of as a top fighter is UFC marketing at it's best.

Henderson I'd have to give the best shot out of the current 205ers of beating Bones, but if they fight, I'd have to side with Jones. Right now, Jones looks unstoppable at 205. Of course, it is MMA so that can all change at the drop of a hat, but without a doubt Jon Jones is the man in MMA right now.

[10 count]

Jones beats Silva as well. As soon as he gets his hands on Silva, as he always does, its over.

[joey83]

Cant wait for this fight to happen, i so hope evans can win by decision.

So where were you when I was getting ridiculed for having Jones at #1 on my P4P list!!!!!

The only problem with that is its hard to have someone #1 p4p when whey are so damn big for their weight class

I'm certain he has to weigh-in at 205 like everyone else in his weight class. Yes, I'm sure I read that somewhere.

I would guess there are a bunch of guys that cut more weight than Jones.

And if you're talking about height or range then I guess Struve is banned from a P4P list.

Unfortunately, I'm going to end up missing this card since I have to attend a wedding in LA on Saturday.

Someone better provide some R-B-R action.

Oh ok. So guys who beat up on much smaller guys should recieve the same credit as a small fighter destroying a bigger one? Dont think so.


You dont think that the only reason that Struve has had the success that he has isnt related to how damn big he is? Cmon man. If he was 6' he would have been smashed every fight.

And as far as weighing in goes, if they were doing same day weigh ins you would have a point. But Jones is BY FAR the MUCH bigger man every time he fights.

Damn near every fighter cuts weight. You can't blame Jones for cutting weight, especially since I've never heard of him having any problems doing it.

It's just part of the sport. Unfortunately, from time to time, you do get size mismatches. I think one of the best examples is when my boy Eddie Alvarez, who should've been fighting at 155, fought Nick Thompson, who should've been fighting at 185, fought at 170. Look at the difference in size between the two...

I am not blaming JJ for cutting weight. That is a big part of the sport and he is VERY good at cutting down. Fighters who can cut weight well have a significant advantage over those who cant.

Jones said he was 220lbs this week.........pretty big cut.

Cutting 15 lbs from 220 isn't that big of a cut.

Fail to see 15lbs of water in that picture.

[joey83]

Didnt he come in at 201 not 205?

[joey83]

19lbs in a week is quite a cut

[TFK]

Damn, McDonald just KTFO Miguel Torres.

TFK

[TFK]

Rothwell looks like he's in shape. Maybe gassing against Hunt finally opened his eyes about being in shape.

[TFK]

Great win for Rothwell. He needed that.
