Or....how about.....wait for it.......Mr. Mousasi. But pretend his never fought King Mo. Mousasi via upkick.

I don't know Mousasi can't stop the TD and King Mo likely can't handle Jones striking.

Rampage,Rashad,Phil Davis and Machida all pose interesting stylistic matchups for Jones. I hope they don't go straight to Anderson after Rashad.

I doubt they would that seems to soon doesnt it? Jones hasnt really proved him self to be the most dominate fighter of all the LHWs.

It almost seems pointless for Jones to fight anyone. World class fighters being reduced to lambs to the slaughter. I agree with K.O Kid too, he would probably beat Anderson, as much as it pains me to go against Silva.

Phil Davis... if he strikes like Dominick Cruz, his training partner, he'd have a chance against Bones.

Oh, and Matt Hamill... by DQ.

You guys crazy if you think rashad gonna have any kind of impact on johnny bones. Bones has dominated every wrestler hes gone against and im lookin forward to seeing bones smash evans face in like he did shogun but i agree that i dont see anyone in the LHW division messin wit bones

I think its ignorant to think there is no way Rashad can beat Jones ... Anybody can beat just about anybody in each divisiion in the ufc whether it be luck or not.

Matt Hamil by tricking Jones into using illegal elbows! :D

Seriously though Davis can't beat him, I think Bader would beat Davis.

If I had to put my money on someone other then Jones, I would likely put it on Rampage simply because he has KO power.

It would be ignorant to say that anyone else other than Jones can beat Rashad, but Jones is the exception. He's got the strength, the speed and the leverage, nobody stands a chance, certainly at lhw, and probably at hw.

based on davis's performance against boetsch i think he'll struggle mightily against bones.  his best standup weapon in that fight was kicks, and shogun got taken down by bones on the very first kick he threw.  davis has decent reach at 79" but it's still a huge disparity against jones.  and the one mistake jones made against shogun - giving up his back twice - is something they will probably point out and work on so it doesn't happen the next time.

davis will have to look amazing against nog for me to give him a real chance in a title shot.  that said, he is improving rapidly with every outing so it's not impossible for us to see the best davis we've ever seen on saturday.

I know, simply saying Rampage has the best chance right now. Lyoto wouldn't be able to get off more powerful shots and I think Jones dominates him as well.

I hope Davis becomes a top guy in the division, he has great grappling skills and hopefully by next year we can see Jones vs Davis

Franklin was a "New class of fighter" until Anderson rearranged his face, Lyoto welcomed us into the "Machida Era" before eventually getting pasted by shogun, even GSP had a hiccup against a +670 Serra at one point...  history should repeat itself as always but man... it's hard to think of Jones getting beat in any other fashion than maybe a controversial split decision.  I think he will remain the champ for a long time to come, until he has to move up to heavyweight.

I think as long as Jones stays healthy and doesn't take too many fights 6 weeks after his last he'll be favored in every fight for the forseeable future...Curious to see if he eventually moves to HW how he'll do with some of those monsters

Don't get ahead of yourself. jones has only fought two guys that are on the top ten.

Agree with Beastmaster. If everyone was always so sure about fight outcomes we wouldn't have to watch; and no matter how big a favorite a fighter is or how unstoppable he looks, he can lose. 

Just think about this Almost 6-1 Underdog at +588



And of course this 8.5-1 Underdog at +850




Hell Serra even surprised himself.

Just one more Nogueira was a 25-1 favorite in this fight.
