Jones, a ground and pound submission. There is no other scenario. Bader whos got one of the heaviest hands in MMa tagged Jones clean and I think I saw Jon started whistling a tune. Jackson would have him take Silva down asap like Lutter did. Control him and drop elbows. And this aint getting stood up because Jones can do a ****n flair while on top. He is that active and strong.
Silva, though it would be strange as **** seeing Anderson fight essentially Anderson XL. Edit: By Anderson XL, I mean size wise not fighting style.
Not to take anything away from Silva...who is clearly an ATG while Jones is still an up-and-comer...but I give this fight to Jones. He would shoot the double and ground and pound the hell out of Silva. He's a bad style match for Silva, he's much bigger, and he's a better athlete.
I hate the way people forgot Sonnen/Silva all of a sudden. Or for that matter, Hendo/Silva..or Lutter/Silva. Jones is better and bigger than all those and his ground and pound is indefensible. I saw Silva getting tagged by crude Lutter while on top. Sonnen was hammer fisting him for at least 3 rounds. Its about styles and plus you have a fighter in Jones that could have played any pro sport had he wanted.
Bader has one of the heaviest hands in MMA. This is known. I think you're confusing striking ability with heavy hands.
Yeah, he's a sick athlete. I heard last night one of his brother's plays for the Ravens, and another plays ball at Syracuse. That's a family of serious athletes. Jon Jones is the kind of guy that would have been boxing heavyweight champion of the world if he started boxing at age six, or an NFL wide receiver, or a basketball shooting guard if he dedicated his life to it.
I feel the same way, after the Sonnen fight, and even right before the Belfort fight, everyone was bashing on Silva, saying he's getting older maybe getting a bit past his prime, not as motivated, or that he was simply a clown. But all of a sudden after a Front kick to the face he's instantly back to Godlike. Suddenly GSP would get raped/murdered/destroyed/annihilated by Silva. But two weeks ago everyone would have given GSP a fair chance. Both Jones and GSP are bad style match ups for Silva, and Jones is also heavier which is always a clear advantage between 2 very skilled fighters. Belfort was just the same orthodox stand up striker that Silva has absolutely no problems against (Franklin, Griffin, Leben). Silva is the P4P king atm, but there's way too many :smh all of a sudden.
I don't care I just want to see someone spark jon "the saint, can do no wrong" jones out ****ing hate the smug ***** war shogun
