Yeah im coming around to liking Jones more, i remember when he fought matushenko i was watching wit my dad and  said "old man check this dude Jones out, hes a beast and the future of the sport"  then JBJ steamrolled the old Russian and i've never seen my dad get so excited after an mma fight (save for Aldo/hominick). He brings that to the sport i think, and its very important as mma becomes more mainstream

"Grrr."

Good point DV8ed, he's got no short of excitement and flare.  That Aldo/Hominick fight was awesome too, by the way.  I wish they would set up a rematch between those two guys, because I think Hominick stands a damn good chance.

@Lawman, I think Hominick would have an awesome chance in a rematch. And Jones doesn't have a horrible attitude, he's 23 and a world champion, so I think being a little ****y is a given. But he does seem like he's a genuinely nice person.

He is undoubtedly proved he is championship material. But I'm willing to bet hard cash he will get beat by either Rashad or Machida.
