Huge Jones fan, but...
Gus gave him a nasty beating, that was hard to watch.
At the time, most people thought Gus got robbed in the decision (remember how Jones got booed?), even if IMHO it was the perfect definition of a draw.
Until he rematches Gus and beat him convincingly, I don't think he can beat the best HWs in the UFC.
There is also the scandal surrounding the extremely bizarre levels of testosterone found in his body during his surprise drug test...
Not to mention, his constant resorting to eyepokes. It's unbelievable...
Jones is good, no doubt, but he mostly beat washed up undersized former greats like Shogun or Rampage, and, while Jones is basically a HW, he defended his titles against several MWs in Vitor (who almost finished him), Chael and Machida (who, despite being severely out-sized, managed to win the 1st round).
He also beat LHW Cormier, who is a completely different beast than HW Cormier.
If that rematch has to happen, it would be awesome if it was at HW this time.
Time to pick on guys your own size, big guy. When you see what Gus did to him, it's scary to imagine the hospital pictures of Jones after fights with guys like JDS, Werdum, Cain, etc...
But first try to stay out of prison, plenty of guys would fuck him up one-on-one there...
Imagine Aleksander Emelianenko as Jones's cellmate. Aleks would made him his prag Oz-style in a matter of minutes.
Huge Jones fan, but gotta keep it real.
