    :lol::happy I like to see this type of honesty.

    And I think JDS and Cain would beat Bones (much more confident in Cigano than Cain tho), but I doubt Overeem would. All you need to do is play safety-first with that roid-machine for a few minutes and then he's gassed to hell and ready to get stomped. Bones is a supreme athlete, he could fight off the backfoot, play it safe, use his reach, use his wrestling, and then just pick Overeem apart once he's tired. As you can tell, I don't think much of Overeem as a fighter. Sure he has power, but he has many deficiencies too and kicking a terrified Lesnar in the stomach doesn't hide that fact. Cigano is going to punch holes in him.

    I agree that Jones should not fight someone who is an excellent wrestler who would have great weight advantage. I mean, he should acclimate 1st.

    A bout with a primarily a striker would be ideal.

    Jones - Kongo!!! :happy:happy:happy

    Jones vs Kongo is a likely fight I think. Kongo has credibility in the eyes of the UFC, but they know he can't defend a takedown. This fight would probably give Jones the 'legit' win they'd like him to get in order to build up a big hw title fight with Bones trying to become the 3rd guy to win titles in 2 divisions.

    Just go ahead and challenge for the title. A champion should always be able to challenge another champion. If Jones wants to be great this is the way to go.

    I agree, and he'd take the title from JDS in his first fight at heavy.
