    Would I pick Nogueira to win? No. I think Glover is Jones' most formidable challenge at 205, but there aren't many left before the rematches begin.

    Out of all the other fighters left that Jones hasn't fought, Nogueira has as good a chance as any of them. Nog has better hands than anyone Jones has faced, and keep in mind Belfort was oh so close to submitting him.

    I'd like to see lil nog and jones. Rashad and vitor are both solid boxers but couldn't do anything but they rely on pure athleticism more so than nog who is more textbook. Vitor didn't really even try to blitz jones that fight was strange.

    Machida is not winning a rematch... I don't see anyone beating JJ at this point. Maybe a HW, we'll see the Title picture when the time comes.

    If Belfort almost submitted Jones - Lil Nog will finish the job.

    He got careless for a second and almost got caught. Then he spent the rest of the fight playing around in Belfort's guard without a problem.

    Nog had his supposedly stellar BJJ nullified by the likes of Bader and Davis, and he almost got choked out by Jason ****ing Brilz. Seriously, when was the last time Nog submitted a decent fighter? When he fought Hendo like a hundred years ago? Get real.

    I donot think that jones is that strong of a wrestler. His reach gives hime the biggest advantage.

    Guy will lose soon enough, thats the nature of mma - however at Light Heavy he is head and shoulders above a talent rich division. I like Gustafson, Machida 2, to give him problems but you just know even if someone gets a W he would probably tool them in a rematch.

    Only true threat is A Silva

    LOL If reach guaranteed success in grappling, then Cyrille Diabate wouldn't be tooled by guys on the level of Anthony Perosh on a regular basis.

    Jones has faced a murderer's row of wrestlers at 205 and dominated most of them at their own game. If he's not a strong wrestler, then I don't know who is.

    :lol:

    Watch him fight tool bader Hamill shogun Vera etc with his wrestling. His wrestling was the difference against machida as well. I'd like to see him go back to his wrestling it would help his reputation a lot more than just chilling and basically spamming oblique kicks

    ^^JJ uses his grappling each time out. He was rag dolling Vitor Belfort at one point.

    We are going to learn a lot about him in the upcoming fight with Chael Sonnen.

    The only one that came remotly close was Vitor with the Arm bar. And the scary thing is Jon is only 25 year old.

    I believe he will go down as the Greatest. He has it all, and utilizes it each time out. Fights smart too. I see him moving up to HW and fighting for that Title after a couple fights or so. After a couple Title defenses their will be nothing left to prove in this Sport. I see him retiring about five years from now, and like I said I don't see him and Anderson Silva fighting each other. A lot of respect between them and they are at two different points in their careers. Besides, Anderson Silva knows he can't beat him and I don't think those feelings will change anytime soon.
