3) Cro Cop (Pre-retirement)

He retired few days ago.

@laflux: Current.

A lot of those fights are debatable. The hardest match up for him is Werdum though, but I could see him beating Stipe, Junior and Cain.

I think given the fact that if Jones knows he is going to be fighting a heavyweight he will prob come into the fight at about 230-240 lb he can get very far because he outclasses almost all of these guys in athleticism and skill. I would say stops at 8 but his kicks and reach might give all of these guys trouble. So I think he has a chance at clearing but might stop at 7-10. If he starts at 1 and gets a month between fights his chance of clearing goes up quite a bit since by the end his body would be at about 245lb and it would have adjusted better to the new weight.

should stop at 9...maybe 10

Fair enough. I think he would have struggled with Hunt at his best tbh, but 7 and up are all tough. I'll be nice and say he can get to 10, as I think Cain hasn't been 100 percent for a while.

Stops at 4.

@thenaughtytitan: I don't think he has a chance against Cain. Cain has top notch wrestling , power punches and the cardio to go with all of that.

You could also say that DC has that too.

Stops between 8-10

4 kills him by accident.

@comicstooge: who

Daniel Cormier.

Roidless Overeem?

@comicstooge: You could say that but Cain is a more complete fighter

@kgb725: Top notch? Ronda Rousey thought she had top notch stand up too until she ran into a real top notch boxer who made her look very foolish. Cain's wrestling may be pretty good but if you put him in there with a true top notch wrestler(like Kurt Angle) he gets destroyed if they only wrestle. Cormier also is much better. Olympic wrestlers are at a completely different level than guys who were just good in college.

Warm up) Kimbo Slice (LOL, humour me) - OK...Kimbo gets sliced.

1) Matt Mitrone - Jones without much trouble.

2) Bigfoot Silva - See above.

3) Cro Cop (Pre-retirement) - Jones.

4) Frank Mir - Jones.

5) Alistair Overeem - Jones.

6) Travis Browne - Jones.

7) Mark Hunt - Assuming he can put Hunt down he'll win haha.

8) Stipe Miocic - Tough, he could do it but I don't know if I would give him a majority.

9) Junior Dos Santos - I'd say Jones loses here.

10) Cain Velasquez - Same as above.

11) Fabricio Werdum - I wouldn't say Jones can't win, but I certainly wouldn't put my money on him.

Hard to say really, as personally I think (as much as I hate him) Jones is one of the most well rounded fighters in the heavier divisions...and it's hard to say he isn't. He's taken on the best and beaten them without breaking much of a sweat. He certainly could fight in the heavyweight division, and honestly I think a lot of the guys don't have what it takes to give him a good fight. However, the elite of the division are not to be messed with, Werdum especially, and as they're proven at that weight class I'd have to give them the benefit of the doubt.

@spambot: Ronda never had top notch skills lol that's completely different. You can't say Olympic wrestlers are so much better when Jones beat Cormier

Nevermind.

Poor Kimbo

@comicstooge April 23. JONES IS BACK BABY!!!!!!!

@laflux: Confirmed?

@laflux: Is he fighting Cormier ?

Well he posted on Instagram, but I assume so. Dana said he would get a rematch as soon as he came back

If Overeem can't stop him early, then he would lose to Miocic.

Miocic is a really nice fighter these days, well-rounded game. Improved clinch, great at mixing his boxing and wrestling. His boxing and footwork are tiers better than Jones, who doesn't have good craft there. Jones would find similar struggles he did against Gustafsson. Plus there is a massive power gap between the two. Just look at what it took Teixeira, who is one of the hardest hitters at LHW, to stop Maldonado. Miocic easily dropped him twice and stopped him quickly in a fight that shouldn't have been sanctioned. I think Miocic would win a clear decision or get a late TKO, but have some problems with Jones' in-fighting and kicking game.

Jones loses to Miocic.

the most likely scenario here would be the one that he wins all rounds until 6.

Pretty sure he is going to lose 7,8,9 and is going to be stomped at 10.

Apperently Jones got injured by Sparring with Overreem. I don't know whether this was while Overreem was on Roids or not though.

Also on related news, Sage can squat over 400 pounds.....

Jones spent his training camp for Gus partying instead of training. He was gassed by round 2 and still won. I'm not sure that comparison holds up.

If that is true then that shows how much better Jones is than the rest of his division. Kind of similar to how Ronda was in her division.

He also mentioned it in his interview with Ariel recently. Jones is stupidly athletic and has the best camp in the world. It's any wonder he's undefeated.

Jones.

I honestly couldn't pick a winner between Fabricio and Jones tbh.

I bet anybody that he clears in time. I didnt even know he was a heavyweight now

Should stop at lvl 7 or 8 may b .. Bt i am not sure

He heems every single one of them. After Jon comes back next year and slaughters Daniel within 30 seconds of the match beginning, he'll make his move to heavyweight and reign undisputed.

Can't be touched

Can't be stopped

Can't be moved

Can't be rocked

Can't be shook

We hot

When will you learn
