Ryan Bader has better standup than Jon Jones and his chin is more tested.
Jon Jones probably has slightly better takedowns and better ground and pound, at least with elbows.
So far, Ryan Bader is more tested as he is the only one who has beaten a top 10 fighter yet and Jardine was also a more quality win than Brandon Vera is. I see Ryan Bader losing the decision, as Jon Jones via decision as the realistic outcome because of Ryan Bader's proven lesser cardio.
bader hits hard, but that doesn't mean he has better stand up.
No, Jones has better standup than Bader.
Jones wins it in the first round. He is Uber Junior.
daba - No, Jones has better standup than Bader.
Based off of what? Having crazy techniques that you can use at a moments notice does not inherently make them "better." I'd much rather have a strong right cross than a spinning elbow. Just because one is more unexpected than the other and harder to pull off doesn't make it better. Ask Faber how much better his spinning elbow was compared to Mike Brown's strong right hand.
Bader seems to have better fundamentals, Jones seems to have no fear in regards to what techniques he'll attempt. I personally believe that better fundamentals are more important.
