Bader, Rua, Rampage, Machida. No fight goes the distance. Jones sustains no facial damage. Out-strikes strikers, out-wrestles wrestlers and submits black belts. 24 years old and seems to have the best corner in the business. Hendo, Rashad and Davies could all be dispatched by next Autumn. Then what?
Silva is too small. JDS is more like it. I think one of the reasons the UFC has given him such a crazy schedule is because there is a limited amount of time at LHW for jones. Once he gets over 25 i can't see him being comfortable at the weight anymore he has a very big frame. JDS would be a good matchup for Jones as he is not one of the freakishly big HW champs. He is more of a technical fighter.
The craziest thing is it's taken him only 12 months to amass one of the best LHW resumes ever and become the most dominant LHW champ in years. There's no one at that weight currently who seems to pose any kind of a threat to him. Jones is a nightmare for Silva stylistically, so even if that ever happens, which I seriously doubt it will, I think it will be a hard night for Silva and it will end extremely badly. Heavyweight will be interesting. Jones is only young, and when the time comes for him to move up it might be 2 or 3 years from now and the landscape at both classes could've changed drastically.
It wont happen according to Dana White after the UFC 140 presser. He said and im parafrasing "Jones is 24 and still learning, Anderson is ****ing 38 years old and prolly will retire soon"
