Jon Jones....

I think he would have a chance hes 5 11 and won the ultimate fighter as a heavyweight!! Fighting at like 230!!!

Yeah Fruedian slip, and I know he said the move down but its still something that would seriously affect his decision to go up in the first place.

@ Brent Ryan Bader is fucking huge dude for that division.

idk i havent really paid attention to his size but chael said he would consider moving up in weight to beat rampage
and he didnt say to fight rampage but to BEAT rampage lol
i love his cocky humor

and i dont really like jones, mainly because of the fact that i knew that if he won, everybody would say "oh he needs to go to heavyweight and beat anderson", or "oh anderson needs to move up so bones can murder him" jones is a fluke

You sure you know MMA? You sound like a casual fan. Bader is HUGE. Sonnen is nowhere near as big as bader. And Jones folded him easy. Sonnen would suffer the same fate, especially with his horrible submission defense. Bader didn't do a thing because Jones shut him down. Not because he chose to do nothing.

I'll agree that it's premature to start all the Spider vs Bones threads. Bones still needs time and hasn't even defended the title. But he's far from a fluke. Bones dominates people. When's the last time you saw Matt Hammil tossed like a ragdoll and elbowed into pulp? When's the last time you saw shogun catch spinning back elbows and serious GnP? He made an undefeated Bader look like an amateur. He dismantles everyone he faces. Sorry dude, but that's no fluke.

I think with our current batch of LHW the only 2 that have a shot at him are machida and rampage because of rampage's power and machidas awkward stand up. Not saying they would win..saying they have the most credible threats. If rampage beats Hammil I'm sure he gets the next title shot if Rashad doesn't beat Mr. Wonderful.

I think the Jones has an advantage over Silva because silva would be the person coming up to fight him. The same holds true with gsp coming up to fight silva.

As for Rashad? LOL...not even a prayer....rashad's lack of size is really going to hurt him against Jones...training with him or not. With the bigger LHWs in the mix I just don't see him being able to compete. We're not talking about Lidell and and griffin being gate keepers anymore. I expect him to beat Mr. Wonderful but I see him having a far harder time than some people expect and he may potentially be upset.

With Rashad having a long layoff and his current style lending itself more to wrestling than striking, I can see Phil beating him in the wrestling game. Decision for Phil.

Yeah moving up means he's too small for that division. He'd have to get back on the roids to bulk up first. :)

chael cant beat anderson
1. chael took roids
2. andersons ribs were broken
3. i think anderson let him take him down that many times so he can sub him and i think he didnt wanna finish it on the feet (which he could have easily) why else would anderson have an entrance with his gi? its cuz chael talked shit about andersons black belt
i just dont think anderson expected to get the sub that late in the fight

---

that's full of shit lol Chael was landing more strikes than Anderson on the feet and once Anderson found his rhythm striking, Chael would take him down. No one is dumb enough to purposely get his ass kicked for 5 rounds. The mistake came from Chael resting in a bad position that gave Anderson the opportunity to submit him. Also, Anderson puts on his Gi a lot before or after fights.

im not meaning 5 rounds lol
im saying i think he purposesly let chael let him take him down, not on the stand up though, anderson just decided to not ko him
but he has never had an entrance with a gi
