    Someone from this list?


    Junior dos Santos
    Alistair Overeem
    Cain Velasquez
    Frank Mir
    Shane Carwin
    Fabricio Werdum
    Roy Nelson
    Cheick Kongo
    Stefan Struve
    Pat Barry
    Matt Mitrione
    Brendan Schaub
    Travis Browne
    Mark Hunt
    Antonio Bigfoot Silva

    Or even:

    Josh Barnett
    Daniel Cormier
    Sergei Kharitonov




    I think I'd like to see him fight either Daniel Cormier, Cheick Kongo or Travis Browne for his first fight there.

    Maybe Pat Barry...smallish for heavyweight standards and strictly a striker..

    Despite the size advantages he'd have over Cormier, Jones could have a torrid time with Cormier. Cormier has the wrestling ability to avoid Jones's takedowns, and he has the boxing to trouble Jones on the feet. I'd be interested in that fight.

    Cormier has very good hands.... Punches with good technique and very fast... He would knock bones out..... A good test would be a good allrounder like nelson whos rated semi highly and if he stops him, then they can claim to be the true heavyweight champ cos junior couldn't stop him

    Depends from which POV... from a management POV I`d give him someone thats easy to break & a **** striker like Mir but from my POV as someone that wants to see him KTFO then I`d throw him in there with Dos Santos, Overeem or Velasquez.
