JDS? We all know that Chael is no one trick pony and has a well rounded game. His standup is good enough to land on JJ and his wrestling is good enough to take him down.
JJ is a great wrestler,but we know that Chael has the ability to connect with a good punch which will aid his wrestling.
I think the strategy Cain used is something along the lines of a strategy that would be to great benefit to Chael if he can execute.
Moving foward constantly and applying pressure for 25min is the key for Chael no doubt.
Don't count on it. 
He did it to Silva on that first fight as well. Hell, in most of his fights. Marquardt, Okami. That's Sonnen's style.
I think its a good possibility. Chaels matches up well for a guy like Jones.
size difference is too big, he'll struggle to get in range. Also, JBJ is no where near as one dimensional as JDS. Watch Cain's desperate takedown attempts in the first - he can do that because JDS is no danger when Cain is sprawled out face first hanging on to an ankle, Jon Jones would punish chael if he tried that.
As soon as the bell sounds I can't see Sonnen doing anything but taking a mad "all or nothing" type dash to shoot in on JBJ.
Same fighting style, except Jones probably won't gas and can finish Chael with a submission anytime. Also, there is an incredible amount of distance Chael has to cover to get a hold of Jones. It isn't impossible for Chael though 
Chael has taken it to Anderson Silva for 6 full rounds. I think it's reasonable to believe he could handle Jon Jones.

AS has a much different skill set then JBJ. Jones is much more equipped to deal with chael's wrestling, that being said it would be fucking amazing if that did happen.
I would love to see chael with a belt that he didn't buy online.
Haha! Me too!
there's always that chance!
Except Jones is much more dangerous in the clinch as a wrestler himself. He threw around much bigger wrestlers than Chael in Vlad, Hamill, and even Bader(?) like they were children. If Chael ties up with with Jones against the fence he's likely to be the one on his back.
I don't think there is any chance of that happening.
SgtJustinTeplitz - there's always that chance!
Always
Well, one difference is that Jones is not just a much better striker than Chael, but also a better wrestler. Chael is not taking him down anymore than Rashad, Bader, or Vladdy could.
Chael moving forward is Chael getting kicked in the chest and elbowed in the face, or just thrown on his ass.
Chael by flying arm bar.
3 Sided Square - Chael by flying arm bar.
Scissor sweep to heel hook imo. Like lauzon, but with more time to finish it off
We can only hope!

The difference between Chael and the guys that you listed though is that Chael doesn't forget that he is a wrestler first. He'll live and die by the takedown.
