    I think so. Awesome fighter. Still so young and soooooo much room for improvement.

    JJ maybe needs a lil more pop in his stand up strikes but that will come with age/experiance. But he's a beast almost evrywhere else (clinch/ground/takedowns) His worst enemy now is believing his own hype like Vera

    The seems humble with a good head on his shoulders. That elbow was nasty too. I'm def interested to see where he goes.

    Awesome fighter. Cut from the new dynamic and athletic breed - Silva, GSP, Penn etc

    He is defintely the real deal. He dominated Hamill and Vera like they stole something from him. He's probably had harder spars.

    205 is silly stacked.

    He has a HW frame at LHW. I wasn't that impressed with him. He is young and will def improve, but nothing spectacular last night. Hopefully he starts to fight some better LHW's. Vera is barely a gatekeeper.

    I hope he gets couple of more fights on the level of Vera before throwing him with the big dogs like Shogun or Machida.

    You have to love how he ran at Vera and threw him down like a *****.

    If I was the UFC I'd have Jones be Toney's first opponent. Do a catchweight bout if Toney doesn't want to get down to 205 lbs.

    Sorry but he would make Couture his ***** at this stage of Couture's career.
