Ovince St. Preux most likely to get the call against Jones.

[Melas Chasma]

Better than nothing, but still meh..

 

[Goodfella86]

That fuckin sucks!!

Its next best fight to make outside of Rumble/Jones

 

[welcometohavoc]

Talk about a sure fire way to make me not buy a PPV

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[okilian]

Not smart by the UFC. Not many even know who OSP is.

 

[RafaelDosSantos]

He got choked out by Glover not too long ago, no intrigue

His cardio is suspect

Sacrificial lamb

Better than nothing, but still meh..

I think it's stupid, I and I am sure others don't care about meaningless fight against an opponent we know is going to lose and have nothing to offer. It's a slap in the face to the fans this is what the ufc wants, they don't want jones to lose.

Bones Jones via hellbows on the ground!

 

[Das Werm]

I don't have a problem with OSP vs Jones. Jones vs Rumble should be after Jones beats Cormier when they both have legit camps and prep.

Who the hell asked for this Ariel??? What a massive waste of a comeback fight for Jones. Zero interest in watching OSP's face get re-arranged via elbows. The skill level difference between these two fighters is massive.

 

[SH10151]

nothing against OSP (Vols fan here) I've been interested in his career for a while... but I just recently felt he is a contender, not sure if he's ready to face Jones though.

If this fight happens I hope his striking game on point and he's aware of the clinch.

no, he is a option for sure, but he is more of a worst-case solution, they will work to find something that moves the needle, before they try to sell UFC 197: Jones vs OSP

Just look at it: UFC 197: Jones vs Ovince Saint Preux

How does it compare to:


UFC 197: Jones vs Cormier


UFC 197: Jones vs Hunt


UFC 197: Jones vs Gustafsson 2


UFC 197: Jones vs Junior Dos Santos

Its next best fight to make outside of Rumble/Jones

Agreed this is not a bad fight and I actually think it would last longer than Jones/Rumble, Jones would destroy Rumble he's not disciplined enough

 

[SocraticMethod]

How long is DC out? I was hoping they'd just bump Jones/DC to UFC 200. Is he out longer than that?
