Jon Jones Will Be Dethroned in 2-3 Fights Guaranteed

Pretty good chance that he doesn't get through the gauntlet of: Sonnen, Gus, Mousasi, Machida, Glover, Davis and Cormier without picking up a loss. Not that he is going to fight all of them, but if he stays champ, you have to figure he will face 4 or 5 of them in the next two years.
so listing a lot of names is supposed to decrease his odds? Glover and Cormier are the only ones worth discussing.
 
No, Gus is the biggest threat of all 3. And I see Jones handling Gus.
 
Jon Jones will be dethroned by either Gus, Glover or Gegard. Guaranteed. :icon_twis

Woah. Woah. Let's see how Gegard "Out Wrestled by Keith Jardine" Mousasi looks against Gus before we start saying that he's a lock to beat Jon Jones.
 
Great thread. Would read again.
 
Jones will reign for years. He's insanely good. #1 p4p if not taking achievements into consideration. I think he would maul GSP and Silva, and probably even Cain.

He could very well be the best MMA fighter ever. Whenever I watch him fight, I feel sorry for his opponents, and that's saying a lot.

Just GTFO.
 
Seriously though...if you have called jones elbows "hellbows" in anything but a joking manner.....your gay.
 

Really ??

I see Cormier having a shot being a top HW fighter with Olympic wrestling and good pocket boxing but Mousasi, really

I think Mousas is a great striker but hei would get thrown around the ring in regards to jones wrestling unless he has shown better TDD from his last outing.

Jardine and Mo threw Mousais around the ring like a stuffed animal on a childs bed.
 
Jones will crush all of the names mentioned in this thread and only Cormier will give him a test but fear not because even when he does this and then goes on to win the HW title it wont matter one iota...Fedor will be the GOAT
 
Based on what?

Jones is staying the lhw champ until he decides he is ready to be the hw champ.

Jones is the present and the future. Deal with it or find a new sport.

All hail King Arthur Jones, the once and future king.
 
if he wins vs Machida, Moose,Gustafso, he shall be called the LHW goat
 
Statistically speaking, it's very hard to stay champion for any amount of time.

Also, we know he will lose the belt at some point. Everyone does.

So I say you have a high probability of being right.. but not because of who Jones is fighting, but the mere fact that he is still fighting.
 
HE'S AWESOME UNTIL HE LOSES.

I remember when GSP lost (both times) people just went on about how overrated he was. It's still there.

Jones will lose someday, and when he does the same guys singing his praises will shit all over him.
