Sonnen still gave Jones his hardest fight

The hardest opponent Jones ever faced was the canvas that resulted in his broken toe.

 

Not an MMA fan as there is so much sh1t talk prior to those matches most of which look like hug & love fests. Still it was good to see loud mouth braggart Sonnen get his culo kicked. Maybe next time he can have a session with the Iron Sheik and become humble for his own good.

 

That knee Sonnen took on the ground against the cage. Wouldn't wish that on anyone.

 

No. Jones obviously worked out a game plan whereby he would clinch, throw and GNP. Jones knew that Sonnen has NO POWER so just allowed himself to get tapped in the face a lot basically disregarding any strikes. You cannot say that getting hit 20-30 times with powder puff punches as you walk a guy down is a hard fight, he just ignored them and went about his business. All part of the gameplan. Bisping has the same problem: not enough power to keep a guy honest and think twice about coming in for the clinch.

 

It looked like Jones wanted to 'one-up' Silva. They said Sonnen could only beat AS if he got on top and took Anderson to the ground. Silva let him take him down and stay there the 1st round of second fight. We know what happened next.

They said Bonnar's only chance was if Silva lay his back against the cage with his hands down and let Bonnar tee off. AS did that. We know what happened next.

They said Chael's only chance was an ugly, inside, fight negating Jones's reach and advantages. Jones MADE that fight happen. We know what happened next.

 

I agree...by the way when is this fight?

 

Jones continues to show his versatility. When will it stop.
