Do you still think he is to big and strong?
-
I think Silva has better skill set as compared to Jones (multiple black belts in: Muay Thai, JiuJitsu, Judo, Tae Kwon Do AND a professional boxer). I also believe Silva has the added experience that Jones might lack in order to get out of bad situations.
Jones, on the other hand, is younger, taller, faster, stronger and might very well have better stamina than Silva. Jones is also incredibly talented in his overall ability to adapt to his opponent's strength, while exploiting their weaknesses.
Keep in mind, that Silva is Jones' hero. While he was growing up and was simply a fan of the sport, he modeled a lot of what he did after Silva's approach to MMA. He is probably one of the fighters that can predict a lot of what Silva's game will be come fight time.
By way of sheer odds alone, Jones would defeat Silva. My take is that Silva's experience, couple by the fact that his height and reach are slightly comparable to Jones (Silva is 6'2 with a 77.6 inch reach, Jones is 6'4 with a 84.5 inch reach), could very well provide an upset at the end.
I would love for this fight to happen!

Bones will beat Silva if they ever fight lol

Huge legs

Bones will beat Silva.
Strong Wrestler, Much stronger and bigger frame AND he uses his length and reach to his advantage (contrary to what Stefan Struve does who prefers to attack you with his chin instead of his jab or kicks).

Silva will kick Jones ass

Ronnie Coleman (or was it Gus The Bus that did it to Ronnie) dropped a 200 pound dumbbell on his big toe and broke it.

Well as a wrestler I'd imagine his big toes are very very important in pushing, sprawling and takedowns, More-so than say a striker such as jds or machida for example
-
that big toe is the base of the foot much like we rely on our thumbs when it comes to our hands
very tough to grapple with out big toes
-
Silva wants nothing to do with Jones at this point in his career. too risky a fight, not only in bones bigger he is skilled.. bad fight
jones needs to join his HW brothers if he wants a challenge (not sure if he does)
-
I wore a pair of Jordans that were too small once and both my big toenails turned purple and fell off. It hurt like hell, Jones for the win.

think it will be a great fight, i think jones will prolly use his wrestling alot during the fight, especially if he feels hes losing the stand up battle. anderson is more dangerous on the ground imo n more technical in the striking, but jones is younger n stronger, it will be intersesting
-
Ouch
-
Bigger calves than Wolf
-
Is this fight gonna happen?
-
Jones almost destroyed Vitor shoulder with that brutal Americana
Vitor is a BJJ BB and has better BJJ than Anderson
So I think that the BJJ edge will go to Jones as well
-
i think jones would take silva out
he has too many physical advantages

OMG
-
jones has the bjj advantage because of his physical advantages. dont really think hes a better practitioner than those 2..
-
That is my point. Vitor is a high level BJJ BB yes, he did have a tight arm bar on Jones, but Jones got out of it, and then slapped on his own, very angry, Americana I thought he was going to take Vitor's arm off

arm length and leverage help a ton arce?
-
Oh yes, Bill I agree with you the size power strength length etc of Jones makes his BJJ very dangerous they magnify his BJJ imagine if he gets to BB level in BJJ? Will be very, very hard to beat him

I would say Jon has Blue Belt Level BJJ
his freak body, attributes, skill, etc., are what magnify his BJJ so much as to escape a very dangerous arm bar from a high level BJJ BB like Vitor, and then to go straight in to his own very wicked Americana
-
verrrry hard to beat, almost cant see it happening if black belt is attained..
-
great posts bill
-
wow vitor has never been fucked with on the ground like that.
-

^
exactly
his attributes magnify his basic bjj skill level, to the point where he does extreme things to high level world class bjj black belts
I mean, very hard to get out of a very tight arm bar by vitor, and then turn right around and slap on your own americana and almost break his arm vitor was tapping like crazy to try and stop jon from destroying his right arm
-
and i honestly think that was vitor at his best and most dangerous hes ever been in his career. glad he tapped, could of had a horrible ending.

Chael Sonnen:
Jon Jones is the BEST Fighter I have EVER fought.
-
i'll believe it when jones fights someone big and skilled similar to himself
Chael has a way with words and perception lol
-
Both an Americana or Kimura from side control via a largely overpowering opponent (via height, weight and limb length) can be practically impossible to escape.
Personally, I've found that I can only apply a kimura when facing higher ranking BJJ practitioners (black belts), whereas I can easily apply an Americana on white belts all day long..

I figured. I jumped on my buddies 450 with shorts on today and all I could think about was getting hemmed up. I raced moto too. Think you can hang, Che?
