Gonna put it to you simple. Vitor's BJJ is underrated, and rightfully so because he never really uses it, but he does use his TDD, and that's gonna force Jones to stand up.

Jones turning down Sonnen shows, mentally, he think he got better stand up than Vitor. AND a man thinkin he could stand with Vitor is at risk of gettin KO'd by the "Phenominator"!

It's a perfect storm of BS, and talent that can put Jones in "La-La" land.

That bein said I picked Jones.

You could stand Vitor Belfort in front of anyone short of maybe Junior Dos Santos, and I wouldn't say Vitor has no chance.  He is very fast, and hits hard enough to put just about anyone down.

With that said, Jones is a special talent, and has all the tools and then some to take Vitor out.  Anything can happen though.

In his last fight Vitor got taken down without any problems by Rumble Johnson. I have no doubt that Jones can do the same. This fight is not happening in Brazil and they won't stand em up after 10 seconds.

But yeah Vitor has a chance, to KO or even Sub Jones, it's just not really big.

Belfort got taken down against Johnson because of his own mistakes rather then Johnson's wrestling skill.

He threw a highkick that got caught and then the second time he slipped while sprawling and pulled guard.

But obviously Jones' wrestling is several levels above Rumbles so it doesn't matter.

Vitor punches himself into clinches because when he does his trademark flurries, he squares up with the opponent before he starts firing off lefts and rights, it makes it very easy for his opponent to stop the punches by clinching.

If Jones clinches Vitor, he's bringing him to the ground. If Jones brings Vitor to the ground, Vitor is dead. Jones is the ultimate BJJ neutralizer, each elbow will bring down your skill level by one belt.
