    I don't know **** about MMA, but seems like Jones is getting crazy hype. How does this play out?

    Dont worry, I think this is only the second thread like this, we normally get more around a Jones fight

    Well if he beats Hendo as convincingly as he's dealt with everyone else, he will probably go down as the best ever LHW.

    But he's a few years away from being big enough to fight legit HW's imo, but as it stands Fedor takes this. If he wins the belt at HW though he will go down as the GOAT, but let's not get ahead of ourselves

    Potentially the GOAT LHW against the GOAT HW?

    Fedor by fatality

    I dont know, consecutive wins over Shogun, Machida and possably Hendo are as good a run of victories as either achieved with the strap.

    Not prime Hendo or prime Shogun/Rampage. These are vets well past their best. Great wins. But not the kind to make him the GOAT at 205.

    Maybe past prime, but neither had a run as strong imo.

    Prime Shogun and Wandy fought in a federation where they pretty much turned a blind eye to drug use. Shogun may or may not have been, but Wandy sure as hell was juiced to ****

    Look at Jones physique. He doesnt physically look like a drug cheat at all

    There's an argument for this... But personally i think both their runs were far more significant than Jones by a mile.
