    Triangle from half guard? Would be impressive as it's extremely difficult to set up, especially with elbows that JJ throws when postured up in that position. Anderson would be vulnerable to being to being swept to side control and eventually mount if he did try a triangle from half guard defence bearing in mind he's only got one leg free. There's a reason Hughes and Tito loved to throw elbows from that position

    But Jones tends to go for a throw from the clinch rather than a double leg

    ummm.... the kid is champion now... what else does he have to do? He'll defend when he gets past this injury, and there are very few people who look like they're gonna be able to take him out.

    This guy has never shown any weakness in any area. About the most vulnerable he's ever looked is when Shogun almost completed a sweep.... which didn't turn out well for Shogun.

    Seriously, every 'big test' they've put in front of him has been an absolute cake walk for Jones. Hamill was supposed to be able to out-wrestle him, instead he gets ragdolled head first into the mat. Vera was someone who was supposed to be able to outstrike him, had good wrestling and was supposedly meant to give him trouble on the ground too... Jones broke his face. Matyushenko was a gimme fight for Jones, and that was over in less than 2 minutes, Bader happened.

    And Jones seems to be getting better, but it's hard to tell, because every single fight has seemed so easy for him. He utterly destroyed Shogun, and made him tap to a liver shot.

    What exactly does Jones have to do for you to admit he's legit?
