Spong vs Texeira would be a great fight.
Ok, it would be fun.
Glover would possibly get WRECKED because technically Spong is far too good and he throws wild shots and got touched by Maldanado.
But Glover is tough, game to scrap and it would be a match up I only wish we could see.
Not sure about Jones-Spong.
Jones is so damned good at everything it doesn't matter if you're awesome at one thing.
G1GAH3ART -paradise7 - Jones is not even close at Tyrone's standup level and Tyrone's is not even close at Jones wrestling level.
Standup = Tyrone
Ground = Jones
I get your point but overtime Spong's wrestling would be honed and Rashad would totally push him for that because he knows Spong's a potential UFC champ.
And ALL FIGHTS START ON FEET right? Jones' striking is nothing like Anderson's even if he wants to believe that, I mean he looked laughable mimicking Anderson during the Rashad fight, the only reason his previous opponents were hesitant to go for the KO on him is his size and Spong won't like those guys, Spong would lit him up all night long when they fight.
I guess you figure since they start on the feet Spong is gonna one shot Jones with his first punch and the fight is over because thats the only way he wins.
Spong throws, Jones shoots and the fight is over. So unless Spong one shots him with the first punch he throws he would get wrecked easily.
Jones has the reach to stay at a distance and time his shot, he would get Spong down with ease and drop elbows all over his face.
Guy has one mma fight against a punching bag they picked out of the audience and suddenly people think he is beating probably the greatest LHW of all time. Already Jones is probably the LHW GOAT, atleast he is right up there with another title defense or two and its not even debatable.
@Chris27: Dude, Jones is not the LHW GOAT, that's Chuck Liddell. You know why? Jones doesn't have confidence to stand & bang so he takes down guys and roughs them up. He's afraid to get hit. Look what he did to Machida and Belfort. Chuck would beat those guys at their own game. Jones doesn't fight with honor, this guy is no Anderson Silva.
And pay attention to what I'm saying, I said EVENTUALLY Spong would vastly improve his wrestling and TDD because he knows down the road he'll beat Jones' ***!
Gigaderp!
