I think Jones would be favored over Cain. Good post though.
UGCTT_ Lay'n'PrayNINJA -Phisher -*Waits for LnP to tell me that he doesn't believe Aldo about his walkaround weight just like he doesn't believe Jones when he says that he's been well under 220 after all of his recent camps.*
Helax man, helax. I had truly never seen that. Thanks.
Walking around weight means little to nothing. I wonder how heavy he is in the cage. 160ish?
Someone should tweet his manager/translator guy that looks like a slightly methhead version of the dude from twilight. Derek something....I bet he knows.
He told Faber he tried to keep himself below 170. He's a big dude for fw. I'd love to see him at 155. He'd do better without the weight cut imo
He didn't look too much bigger than Edgar. I suspect he comes into the cage around 162 or so, which is still a big cut for a FW.
OnlyTheStrongSurvive - I think Jones would be favored over Cain. Good post though.I'd be very interested in that line. I think that Jones would need to fight at HW before an accurate line could be established.
Aldo and Bendo essentially fought the same version of Edgar, and while MMA math is far from perfect, Aldo's performance against Frankie (combined with his general ability as a fighter) was enough for me to be reasonably confident that he'd be favoured against Bendo.
Why are you calling Benson "Hendo"?

Agree on Aldo, I just think Jones is a special talent and the odds makers know it. I'm pretty confident saying they would make him the favorite. He's like an 8-1 favorite against a legit top contender in his division right now, pretty crazy.
OnlyTheStrongSurvive -Lol, that is crazy. Gustafsson is legit too. Is there anyone else at 205 that you can confidently say would beat Alex? IMO the answer is no.ThatKickDidntHuroooohhhhhhhh -OnlyTheStrongSurvive - I think Jones would be favored over Cain. Good post though.I'd be very interested in that line.

Arguably the 2nd best fighter in a pretty deep division is an 8-1 dog against the champ. Insane. He's the only fighter you can say that about.
All the more reason why BJ over Hughes was one of the biggest upsets and feats in MMA history.
Aldo absolutely tools Bendo. He would be favourite too. How the fuck does Bendo win that fight?
Sliva_Plated_Fedor -OnlyTheStrongSurvive - I think Jones would be favored over Cain. Good post though.
Respectfully disagree. I think Cain would son JBJ - there's a reason he cuts to make 205 - he's not confident at HW, let alone against the champ. Would love to see the fight though.
He wants to go to heavyweight it has nothing to do with what he's confident with. He would have fought there already if Dana would let him. Even if you think Cain would win, I'm fairly confident Jones would be the betting favorite.
if you're not finishing guys at your own weight class you have no business moving up. if these guys fight it should be at a catch weight and no matter what happens they move back to their respective divisions.
UGCTT_ Lay'n'PrayNINJA -Phisher -He drops 25+ lbs. to make the FW limit as it is. Not that crazy.
Huh what? Where have you heard Aldo cuts from 170+?
cuting isnt the same as deopping weight, he could easily be dieting down then cutting the rest.
