And please dont come with the "Hendo will never get inside to land it." I don't disagree with that, he may very well never be able to.
I was impressed with Jones taking a couple shots from Machida, but they weren't super hard punches square on the button by any means.
If Hendo could land an H-bomb or two on Jone's jaw, is that the only way Jones can be beaten by anyone in this division, or would he be able to go Rua style and just be super dazed but not unconscious?
Looks like a pretty good punch to me.

Dan Henderson
Congrats to @jonnybones -- great win. Hey @danawhite, I'd like to see if his chin is as good as he thinks & I'm ready to go.

Non factor. Jones would EASILY put Henderson on his back and destroy him. Anyone who doubts that after Shields and Shogun got him down is delusional.
Hahasags
Jones-Henderson is a mismatch.
People comparing Henderson's overhand right where he winds up and throws his entire body into it to what we saw tonight from Lyoto? Dan's punches are legendary.
I've never heard anyone compare Machida's punching power to Henderson's. Never.
papasmurf24 -I don't think Jones could knock Hendo out, but I do think he could sub him.Narcolepsy -And this is how hendo finally gets knocked out

Hendo has very heavy hands but Lyoto landed because he's so quick. don't know if the h-bomb is gonna land on jones. i'd bet no. machida was the most likely to beat jones imo and i think he would've if he kept fighting like edgar vs. penn. when he stayed in range he was playing with fire.
Jones by sub.
Might as well say Drew McFedries is the biggest threat to Jones, along with everyone else who has heavy hands.
Dan could KO Jesus with an H-bomb.
orcus - Might as well say Drew McFedries is the biggest threat to Jones, along with everyone else who has heavy hands.
Tank Abbott is training again, and looking to move to 205!
UKTTs Toilet Cleaner - Dan could KO Jesus with an H-bomb.
so shogun > jesus

orcus, I'm pretty sure Drew McFedries is not an MMA legend with the following on his resume:
UFC 17 MW Tournament Champion
1997 Brazil Open Tournament Champion
1999 RINGS King of Kings Tournament Champion
Pride 2005 Grand Prix Welterweight (MW) Tournament Champion
Pride MW and LHW Champion (only MMA fighter to concurrently hold two titles in two different weight classes in a major MM promotion)
Strikeforce LHW Champion
What the hell haa happened to you?
ANYONE can be knocked out...that is just the way it is. However Dan does not have the speed or accuracy to land a hard shot on Jones. I don't see Hendo posing a threat to Jones.

Agreed. Not saying Dan couldn't land one, but Lyoto punches with more speed and precision. Dan has a granite chin though and could stand and trade with Jones much more effectively. I'd love to see this fight
"orcus, I'm pretty sure Drew McFedries is not an MMA legend with the following on his resume:"
My point is that despite being a legend, all Dan has to offer Jones IN THE RING is the puncher's chance of landing a huge shot.
For Hendo's sake he should not even look for this fight..........

orcus, that's exactly my point - Dan has a puncher's chance, which is more than almost anyone else in the division can offer. Now whether or not he can land it is debatable. My question is IF he were to land one or two of those monster shots, would we have a new champion or could Jones take them and continue on?
