How bout this: 2 on 2, Jones + Rousey vs Struve + Mayweather
This is the worst troll job of the hour IMO.
People will flame, but Struve would probably win. He's too tall for Jones to use his reach and couldn't succeed in the striking department.
His only chance is to take Struve down, but Struve is much bigger. Not only would it be hard to get him down, but his long legs and jiu jitsu game is good.
Struve wins.

Do you all really think Jones's reach is all that allows him to have success on the feet?!?!?!
Are we talking about the same Strive?
He's terrible at using his reach, Nelson and Hunto are both about 12 inch shorter with a similar reach advantage and had no problems landing on Struve.
No one, with the possible exception of George Roop, is worse at using his reach than Stefan Struve.
lets make one thing clear . jones will beat any h/w today besides cain , jds and possible cormier
Jon Jones is one of the better strikers at 205 and easily the best kicker in that division. You're on crack.Umm, yes...yes I do.
Its pretty obvious by now. His striking is so overrated its laughable.
Struve wins.

Agree for the most part. Although I think Werdum and Overeem would be interesting. People will laugh, but a prime Brock (Herring - Mir 2) would have been a tough matchup. Big, aggressive wrestler would could double leg and maul you.

Also, watch his last fight if you think he still falls apart at infighting range like he used to. He murdered a very dangerous power-hitter in Glover at infighting range.
You are so flagrantly biased that there is no real point in my dignifying this with a legitimate response.I'm not talking about wall 'n stall here, I'm talking about striking. [...]
Did you see the part in the fight where McCarthy told Jones to stop using his fingers and Glover pounced on him in a second? Jones got hit several times and backed up against the cage lost as fuck. I'd find the gif, but I don't feel like it. If he can't use his fingers, he's clueless.
Plus, his kick are nothing. No power on any of them. They are all either for keeping the distance or scoring points or both.

Infighting is one of the more important aspects of striking. You can't just sweep that under the rug then act as if your argument isn't paper-thin. lol
Jones is a MUCH better striker than Struve. He could easily figure out a way to apply the hand-and-elbow fighting (e.g. cover hands with own hands, step in to range) he displayed against Glover, because hand-fighting is, in fact, one of the best ways to out-strike a taller opponent. He is also a far superior wrestler and kicker. Struve doesn't deserve to be in the same cage as him.
