Well he trains at Grudge Training Center with Trevor Wittman, who hes been training with for a while. so not really a bad idea.

It could be interesting his biggest disadvantage is his height and Jones' long ass reach.

I don't think it'll make too much of a difference for Rashad because he's already been primarily training with Trevor Wittman for his last couple of fights.  I'm always going to support Rashad, but no training camp in the world is going to prepare him for Bones.

@LynxGuy.... Except Bones himself who he has been constantly training with recently... I think Rashad can find a few weaknesses in Jones and exploit them.... I would love to see Jones on his back....

I gotta agree with you lynx and I think thiago one of the only guys realisticly that could do that is phil davis. Rampage would knock him on his ass but I dont see a take down.

I dunno, I could see Rashad maybe getting a takedown, as he has good wrestling, is very skilled, athletic, agile, and has spent time sparring with Jones so may know of some small openings, but I believe if he did get the take down he wouldnt be able to keep the atheltic monster, that is Bones Jones, down for long, and in a matter of seconds I believe Jones would be back on his feet dictating where the fight goes maybe scoring retaliations of his own. @Mike Phil Davis defenetly seems like another freak athlete simular to Jones, I believe Jones' sheer size strength, speed and Greco-Roman  capabilities would leave Bones the victor in a clinch, grapple, wrestling match with Mr. Wonderful.

jones vs davis also sounnds interestingg but still not looking past noguiera. i want to see how Davis reacts when hes put in trouble with a good punch from Noguiera. then again, i havent watched many of Phil's fights so its possible this might've already happened.

I honestly don't think it'll make any difference against Jones. I'm not a fan of Jackson or his game-plans, so I'm glad he's leaving anyway.
