    Can't say Machida punching Jon once was a better round than what Sonnen did to him. That injury is ****ing sick too. If it'd went to round two, Sonnen might've became champion on injury. Crazy.

    Stupid fight. Jones won't lose at his weight.

    He was in more trouble in the Belfort fight. And the Machida fight. Even Bonnar took a round from him. Rashad landed some decent shots.

    Chael didn't really give him any trouble at all outside of some dirty boxing that didn't seem to have much of an effect. Vera gave him more trouble with illegal upkicks.

    Even Gusmao made him go 15 minutes. Jones was presumably more tired after that fight than this one.

    It was slightly more difficult than The Janitor.

    Sonnen definitely gave Jones his second hardest first round TKO victory.

    Nah, he didn't give Jones close to his toughest fight. He just got beat up like all the rest, but at least he didn't fight scared like Rashad or passive like Rampage.

    Weird to think that he was less than 30 seconds away from being the champ though. No way could Jones' toe have held up, that fight was over if it went to a break between rounds.

    :hat

    No chance.Jones had no trouble with Awkward Sonnen.

    Clinch rabbit punching is worth nothing. Seriously to call this fight as Jones hardest opponnent really isn't worth mentioning if it were true

    Uhh. Easy fight, outside of the injury it may have been his easiest fight.
