    Jones should fight Griffin or the winner of the Lil Nog/Bader fight, Maybe Thiago silva, Silva did lose his last fight so idk about him

    I think Dana has got it right with Jon Jones there's nothing wrong with fighters taking a sideways step in terms of competition when they are young after this fight i would like to see him fight Forrest,T.Silva or the winner of Lil Nog and Bader if he destroys one of those guys Dana will have no choice but to put him up against the Machida's and Rampage's of this world.

    I think Dana didn't bump him up much after the Vera fight cuz Jones had promised this stand up war and then didn't want any part of that. It would have been fun to see. But I think if he'd stood with Vera and still won then his opponent now would be higher ranked. Jones is amazing. But I think that's why Dana didn't reward him as much.

    I doubt it's that. look if the LHW division was weak then Jon jones would be 1 fight away or have a title shot right now. But it's a deep division mma fans get carried away with new exciting guys. I'm no doubting Jones potential to the best at LHW but there are those that really think he's ready for guys like Machida right now but his stand up out striking Bonner is one thing out striking Machida or Rampage is a different game

    I think after this fight Jones will be 2 fights away from a title shot. First he has to beat a top 10 guy then beat the top contender (whoever that is at the time).



    Tyson vs Gomi should be a cool fight I hope Gomi knocks that noob out.

    He could probably beat Shogun right now if he fought him (IMO anyway). He should deff get a top 5 fight after this one.

    no competetion?? wtf, thiago would beat all the opponents bones has beaten, so it would be a good test for bones, i like bones, but he hasnt fought any top fighters yet besides veteran brandon vera.
