Exactly, I been saying this for years. And its the biggest reason he had a close fight with Gus in their first fight because Jones fought Gus only a few months after he broke his toe off in the fight with Chael.I think his fucked up toe has a lot to do with it. When he tore it against Sonnen it seems to have taken away a lot of his power in the grappling ever since. Pushing with the inside of your foot creates a lot of shear and torque on the joints, I could see him wanting to avoid it.
As you can see Jones now wears tape wrapped around the injured toe and the toe next to it every since the Chael fight.
The injured toe has greatly affected his ability to defend the take down and taking his opponents down at will like he use to.
