JBJ is not Anderson Silva. He uses strength and reach to beat his opponents, Anderson Silva uses exceptinoal technique, experience and speed. I think a solid muscle gained TRT Sonnen has a better chance beating JBJ than Silva any day of the week.
Now here I'm gonna look like a jones apologist here...but, I get kind of put off by people saying all he is is a big long fighter, and that's all he has, like it's some kind of unfair advantage or something. lol
The guy is a great dynamic striker, he has amazing wrestling and ground and pound.
There is NO denying that.
Bam. I love Jones too but if I have to pick sides it's Chael here.Quote:
Apparently Jones needs a full fight camp for him though.
Reread and Im sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying when I originally read it. I think Silva would have a pretty good chance of beating Jones on the feet because of his sound stand up technique. I think he could get on the inside of Jones' giraffe reach. But Silva's takedown defense is pretty bad so I dont think Jones would even try to hang with Silva on the feet. I dont think Sonnen could get on the inside without eating combo after combo plus Jones' wrestling, I think, could shut down Chaels. Lots of "I thinks" but since its hypothetical it works
That's exactly what I think, but I would've loved to see the fight regardless...Chael usually shoots, and closes the distance as soon as the fight starts, or swings a bit then does it as if he was a Gracie or something, but against Jones it would be like trying to shoot on a guy at the other end of a football field with that reach.
