Jones at Heavyweight will be interesting for sure (if) and when it happens. I wonder if 20+lbs of muscle will translate to his strikes being more devastating because I see his cumulative style not transferring well to HW and I can see him having trouble getting down the Brownes, Miocic's, Overeems, Juniors, Cains, Barnetts ect. Heavyweight+Jones just opens a **** load of questions I want answers to!

I don't know if Jones is realistically going to move to HW yet, mostly because he hasn't shown he has problems making the weight or that the weight cut affects him adversely. I think he'll be content to continue fighting at 205 until the weight cut becomes too difficult, but until then I see him trouncing the division. Gustafsson got submitted by Davis, Davis was easily outwrestled by Evans, Li'l Nog has won his last 2, but there's just nothing interesting in that fight, Glover's got big power, but he gasses quickly, and Cormier, well....I just don't know because I haven't seen him at 205.

Until today I had my Tapology pick set to Gustafsson to win by decision, award hunting and whatnot, but today I officially *****ed out because I didn't want to let my BLC team down by getting a REALLY low score (my UFC scores are already a tad iffy).
Now if Gustafsson shocks the world I'm going to die (or at least punch a hole in the wall).
I'm such a *****!

Hell, his size sucks for takedowns in general because his changing of levels becomes predictable. His size helps for takedowns from the clinch, but he is a master at the clinch so he'd get the takedowns while clinched anyway.
Jones is a fighting genius, please understand that.

If anything, Mauler has more adaptions to make as he'll actually face a reach deficit, while Jones will still have ~3 inches of reach on him.

I think you makes some very good points about the size factor going both ways. However Gus has fought people with the same reach and maybe even longer then him before. Gus at one point had a 76 inch reach few years back. His arms have grown significantly over last few years.
