[soulsstealer]

I thought he popped for roids like jones or beat some women up. phew.

Let's settle down a bit. He looks very dominant, but is at about the same stage Jones was when he destroyed Matt Hamill (but "lost" via DQ due to 6/12 hellbows). When he starts clearing out the division we can make comparisons.

 

[Bearknuckle]

It's how easily he is beating his opponents he has had. Li Jingliang is a ranked fighter and he beat him no different then any other one of his opponents. You watch his first fights and they all lool like his 4 UFC fights.

If he was as so badass, he wouldv’e started throwing bombs and KO leech. Anybody can grapplefuck leech, dude is just a brawler with no ground game.

I think Khamzat is just like Jones and best to throw him into title early on. Imagine if you made Jones go through the division to get his title shot. Some guys are good enough to jump the division, especially when it's this damn hard to book a top 5 fight.

Jonathan beat up a bunch of bloated 185ers.

Yeah, uh no. Jones actually beat more guys who also fought at HW than at MW (O'Brien, Vera, Rampage, Bader, OSP, etc.). He even beat a HW champ (Cormier) and Machida/Rashad both fought above 205 before they ever fought at MW. Bonnar was a huge LHW as well.

I'm not a Jones fan, but his haters have come up with all kinds of myths.

If he beats Burns like he's beaten every other one of his opponents then there is no stopping this man, in my opinion.

But can he beat Dan Hooker's record of finishing Burns in the first 2 and a half minutes of Round 1? That's the real litmus test.

Jones was more active in his his career. Hamzat started active but fell off.
