    dos Santos , and potentially Velasquez

    Apart from them 2 , i think he beats them all , not including Overoid for obvious reasons , but for what its worth id include him too

    Ill go on record and say dos Santos would demolish him

    JJ breaks his leg in half like Corey Hill trying to **** with a HW.

    JDS and Travis Browne would punch his lights out, and Frank Mir would toss his skinny body into the crowd after breaking it in half. Roy Nelson would suffocate him, and Brown Pride will give JJ a heart attack with the pace he sets.

    I love JJ, but he better drink his milk and say his prayers before a HW bout.

    JDS knock his ass out
    Overeem breaks him in half
    Velazquez wrestling might be too much for jones
    Carwin--knockout power would be too much for jj to avoid

    50-50
    Kongo--kongo's power could KTFO jones or jones could win by UD
    Mir--i can see mir winning by sub or losing by TKO, depends if he can successfully take down jj
    Big Nog-way past prime, too slow for jj but if he gets jones to the ground, watch out
    Nelson- jj wins on decision
    schaub-- gets KTFO
    Crocop- gets KO--retired but if he comes back
    Silva--
    Gonzaga

    JDS and Barnette are the only ones I see beating him. Maybe Bigfoot. He's big, athletic, and unorthodox. That makes him an absolute nightmare for anyone else in the division.

    JDS would punch holes in Jones I think. Barnett and Cain would take him down and pound his face into the matt, Carwin would probably do the same.

    I'd be interested to see how Jones does against Werdum and Mir, I think he'd be able to handle them standing up, but if it goes to ground I have no idea how he would deal with a master grappler who is naturally bigger than him.

    I think he'd handle guys like Browne, Johnson and Mittrione easily enough, although they're all big guys who can punch so I'd imagine his chin would get tested at some point.

    Struve would be an interseting fight, I don't know how that would go down.

    JDS would beat the **** out of his ass standing.

    I think Barnett's wrestling isn't good enough to take him down, and he couldnt do anything with Jones standing.

    Cain would be too much considering Jones wouldn't have a speed or wrestling advantage on him.

    Carwin woukd KO him, unless Jones is able to stay on the outside the whole fight.

    Mir would get sparked like he did against Vera.
