Does he hold any rank in judo?
Jones is a wrestler
/thread
Uhh, what? I thought that Jones had a pretty strick greco background. Just becasue it's upper-body takedowns doesn't mean it's judo.
LetsTalkItOut - Does he hold any rank in judo?
Yes. He has a youtube belt in Judo.
2 stripes.
Jones has said in interviews that he has trained with a college judo club. He draws technique from many different sources.
Listen to 2 minutes on. He has judo training - don`t know what his ranking is but the majority of the throws on the first video are definitely judo throws..

Hate to say I told you so but...
Shogun has his hands full.....
quincy rice disciple imo
No since in arguing about whether Jones is using Judo, wrestling, etc.
The throws are the same in wrestling, judo, etc.
the hip toss is O Goshi
the fireman's carry is Kata Guruma
the double leg is morte gari
and the list goes on. wrestling and judo are the same throws.
Wrestling is to judo as no-gi is to bjj. One is with or without the gi, that is the only difference.

JJ I somewhat agree with you but your statement is somewhat too general. An American Freestyle wrestler would have a harder time with a Judoka who has some basic wrestling skills compared to a wrestler with a Greco Roman background due to the fact that Greco Roman has more throws (from what I have been told - note, I have no wrestling background) than Freestyle..
Hey Smurfy - got a video for you. Enjoy jackass..

please educate me if I'm wrong, but I thought Greco didn't have footsweeps? He uses trips/foot sweeps in alot of his takedowns.

Nope, Jones is a mixed martial artist!
GROUCHY SMURF - It's greco roman wrestling dumbass
Wrestling throws>judo throws
Since you called him a dumbass...why is it you dont know what Greco roman wrestling is, since you seemed to think all those throws/takedowns are Greco?
