    Jones still has a lot too prove to reach Anderson's level. And Primate & Will made some very good points earlier. But on paper the style match up favours Jones imo

    But I agree would love to see this fight. But dont get your hopes up

    You give Machida a better chance against Jones Stoo?

    I think CAin is the biggest threat to Bones. I think this guys wrestling is damn scary when I saw him take Brock down like nothing. And he isnt the biggest of guys either.

    Spider has much better reach knowledge than Jones but Jones makes up for it with actual reach

    Maia and Cote are not, in any way shape or form, considered as takedown artists

    Or are they keeping that a secret?

    No, but Jones has not faced anyone you would consider a BJJ artist. He is in a whole other world with Anderson's BJJ and striking,

    At least Anderson has been able to beat elite wrestlers

    Jacksons team forte is BJJ defense, I cant think of a fighter of theirs getting tapped xcept Gullard pre joining.

    Shogun is a BB under Nino Schrembri, Vera by Lloyd Irvin, and Bonnar by Carlson GRACIE!

    Greg Jackson fighters getting subbed is pretty rare

    Give me some examples of Anderson defending takedowns against wrestlers?

    I got some examples of Dan Henderson being tagged big

    Im sure I can think of some examples of Sonnen getting subbed

    Guida?

    I mean, you have a point but Jackson's best; GSP never got subbed before he came so its kind of difficult to argue with him,

    Though I have to admit wrestler like Carwin has performed very well in that respect.

    How many MMA subs do Vera, Bonnar and Shogun have between them

    The Henderson fight just supports that beating wrestler is not all TD defence

    At this point in time the best way to beat Jones is to get him disqualified. :lol:
