Stylistically, this actually is a difficult match up for Jones. It isn't just Mirko's style and strengths, but the rules and environment would effect Jones' game a lot. Jones likes to push opponents to the fence and beat them up with dirty boxing, knees, elbows, etc, but he wouldn't be able to do that in Pride against the ropes and his favourite weapon (elbows) is against the rules.
He won't be able to throw elbows against the fence or in the stand up, so no spinning elbows, no elbows on the mat. Elbows are like his most effective attack, so this could greatly effect his game. He won't be able to use the ropes to get TD's like he does in the cage, too. That's where most of his TD's come from. I can see Mirko defending Jones' TD attempts in the center of the ring, most if not all of them, which will greatly effect Jones' game.
Mirko has the striking to put Jones away. His counter punching ability both while moving backwards and forward is truly some of the best we've ever seen in the sport. He was very fast, had great timing, tons of power and accuracy. His kicks (not just the head kicks) need no explanation. This is very winnable for Mirko and I'd actually pick him to win this for sure.
The people acting like Jones beats any version of Mirko are just wrong and need to really think about the things I said about the environment, rules, etc. Another thing people will disagree with is that I believe Mirko is tougher fight for Jones than the great invincible Fedor.
Styles make fights, ladies.

Firstly, don't make it personal.
Secondly, all the main players in the GOONIES were kids, but they got the job done.
That little kid in INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM, got the job done.
Your IPOD, built by a kid.
Kids are powerful beings when enabled, to think that Mirko is somehow above all children (not talking about height here) I think is a touch naive.

This is said as if Jones can't make adjustments. He has the highest fight IQ in MMA I think. People said he would suffer from new eye poke rules. That never came up once in the DC rematch and he knocked the man out. Jones wins this fight In a ring with wrestling and GNP or submission. He can clinch without using the cage. And he can strike with anyone. Amazing people still say Jones can't strike. He has out-struck everyone but maybe Gus and he damaged Gus badly and almost finished it in the 4th.
Rampage
Shogun
Rashad
Glover
DC
Vitor
Jones beat them all in the striking realm.

Cro Cop does not have the heart to beat Jon Jones, neither the style. CC thrives against guys with limited striking, who are unable to apply correct pressure and who shoot singles and doubles that he can stuff with his explosive and powerful legs. Jones is a styles mismatch, he burries CC, his strengths are Mirko's weaknesses.

"Prime Cro Cop" was in fact in the UFC early on and was one of if not the biggest disappointment of all time. He was a can outside the fixed Japanese ring.
