Even a ring rusted Jones managed to break OSP's arm with a kick

When you think about it, it's been a long time since we've seen Jones ground and pound someone
Either we didn't watch the same fight, or we have different definitions of "plenty" or both...
I think he gives a lot of credit for him not getting knocked out
by who, the heavyweight division is trash. Cormier would be undefeated and the real heavyweight champion if he didn't drop down in weight and he has nothing on jones
(1) Jones doesn't KO his opponents...He is a grind to submission type of fighter...
(2) I don't give OSP any credit because that was his game plan, hang around for five rounds...He didn't step in the Octagon to win...I gave Chad Mendes credit for at least trying to finish McGregor...I give Diaz credit for finishing McGregor...

Give yair one or two more fights then he got next. His style isnt one where one goes undefeated but its damn fun to watch. Not ready for the top 5 yet but real impressive prospect
Anderson Silva went undefeated for a long time with his "I am open, so hit me" style...

Yea but im not ready to compare breh to anderson yet. And anderson came up in the barbaric ufc days for the most part where the opponents were still one dimensional fighters at the time
Heavyweight is a garbage weight class full of geriatric fighters. He would annihilate everyone except Werdum (bad style matchup) and maybe Junior. Cormier dominated the UFC and Strikeforce heavyweight division and he's smaller, weaker and slower than Jones. Lol let's not act like all the weight classes are equal talent wise, Roy Nelson is a fat middleweight yet he's consistently top 15.
Who other than Werdum (jiu jitsu + good striking) or Junior (good boxing, massive power and size/reach) is going to wreck him?

Cain overeem and even browne will give him legit problems. Breh weight plays a huge issue. Jon maxing out at 240 isnt the same as these brehs naturally weighing in around that weight.
most these heavyweights gas out after a round
werdum would be a challenge but there isnt much up there. hes never going up to heavyweight anyways so it really doesnt matter
osp looked like the heavier fighter last night

Yeah but whose to say jon wont with the additional weight gain. This isnt just a 10 pound jump this is a legit 40-45 with cain werdum an jds. Reem and travis get up to 260 i believe dont quote me on that tho.
