I vote we take out Jon Jones and put in Bas Rutten

EDIT:
Lets cool it with the down thumbs. Jon Jones is in NO way the Greatest LHW of all time and if he is in this tourney he is more then likely going to end up winning. So i was simply saying take him out and put in another legend of the sport.
******* people on this site just thumbs down everything i say.

If we are talking accomplishments Jon Jones is not the #1 LHW of all time, but in a match I take Jones over any of these guys in their prime or not. BTW Bas fought at HW, I don't know if he ever had an official LHW fight.

@big well that's what i am saying i think most people would and will take Jon Jones over everyone here and that just kinda takes then fun out of it if we all kinda know going in who will win.

How many more absolute dominating victories will it take before you consider him the best?

He's already run through his first two defenses (not to mention making Shogun TAP TO STRIKES), in a division where the belt changes every single fight.

After he beats Rashad and Hendo, who else would he have to beat? A 25-26 year old Gustaffson and an overrated Little Nog? Please.

About Bas I'm pretty sure his Pancrase fights were open weight and I know all his UFC fights were at HW though Bas was the size of a LHW his whole career his official weight class has always been HW.  All his achievements are either at Openweight for his King of Pancrase or Heavyweight in the UFC.

Clearly Jon Jones is not the LHW GOAT right now, but you are delusional if you say he isn't worthy of being mentioned in the top 16 of LHW GOATS. He's completely destroyed 3 of the top LHW Goats. 3~ more title defenses and I say he's the LHW GOAT.

Bones is clearly talent that no one has seen before and is #1 once he picks up a couple more wins against the best the ufc has to offer.
