Rashad, Rampage, Davis, and Nog I can all see posing a legitimate threat

Slim to no chances of anyone posing a threat. I adore Machida, but Jones is a friggin superhero, if he was green he'd look just like that Jon Jonzz from The Justice league.

I'd say Phil Davis and Rashad COULD pose a threat, but more likely would offer Jones the most competitive fights of his career to date, I believe Jones will still win decisive victories over either and likely finish the fight as well. Machida hasn't seemed like the same fighter since his bouts with Shogun. It has kind of seemed that people have figured out his unorthadox style. If Rampage could have the success he did against Machida(I know Machida looked good in the third round and rd1 & 2 where sleepers) I believe Bones would be able to climb that mountain. The only fighter I believe has a shot of Beating Jones at 205 is Anderson Silva if he moves back up. He would have to do it soon however, as Jones as been looking more and more domminant with every performace. Even then I could still see Bones leaving with the victory, It wouldnt suprise me to see him beat anyone right now.

At 205 Rashad has the ability to beat anyone, but I dont see him beating Jones...Phil Davis looks to be on his way towards being a top guy as well, but dont think he'll be ready until sometime in 2012

Machida's style might keep him alive for a while against Jones, but I doubt he could squeak out a win.
