Is more praise from the UG. The guy has only been around 2 years and already has arguably the best HL reel the UFC has ever seen. When boxers say "MMA guys just aren't as skilled," I have a video that proves otherwise...

yea scary, supreme athlete
He might need a baseball bat.
I like Jones, but he still hasn't proven himself, and he got frustrated vs a Matt Hammill who he blew his wad on and couldnt finish.
You have to remember. People are going to be cautious with Jones after what just happened to Vera, Carwin, and others who were "Undefeated Badasses" @ the beginning, but down the stretch when they faced harder competition? Couldnt do it.
Jones is going to be the same way. Vera is really his only solid win vs an upper tier figther and that's cool.
But he still has a lot to prove.
Please dont start on this "Hammil fight shouldve been stopped" shit. The fact is he couldnt finish Hammil. Period, and why Jones got frustrated and went to the 12 to 6 elbow
Those that take Jones in that fight? What do you think Jones was waiting for? Hammil to give up? Hammil NEVER WAS CLOSE to giving up in that fight.
It's why Jones got frustrated and used an illegal blow.
Jones has to string some solid wins vs better opponents, then fans will buy into him.

With you on that one
a title shot or a decent opponent
Dale Henson - oh yea, 6) maybe you're cecil peoples
I have a feeling he'll never be a favourite 'round these parts
just an intuition
Bones is an f-beast. Dude is talented, has a great head on his shoulders, and he has a great team behind him. Anything can happen in this game but he has what it takes to be the man.
I want Jones vs Theigo silva great fight
- I like Jones and think his future is very bright. He has not faced the level of competition to warrant a title shot.
2. I think Thiago Silva would be a perfect next opponent for him, or maybe a Rich Franklin who is coming off a win. It would be a step up for sure.
3. Catastrophic, what are you smoking bro? I have a lot of problems with the logic in your post, but why are you writing off Carwin saying "undefeated badasses" who were undefeated in the beginning but stepped up in competition and couldn't cut it. If you are writing off a guy for losing one fight (a title fight which he almost finished in the 1st round) what kind of MMA fan are you. A jaded one at the very least.
Hammill was laying there wrecked, with blood tricking down his forehead and pooling in his eye sockets after that stoppage...
And he looked about as fucked up as you can get during that post-fight interview. Anyone who can leave Matt Hammill a quivering wreck like that is a bad man. Jon Jones scares me.
He's been one of my favorite fighters since he put a clinic on Bonnar. What's scary is that he's so damn young!
and what I think he needs is some more cow bell
I've been high on this guy since his days of him beating the snot out of local talent.
