This here.
McCarthy has a habit of helping out the champion. Jones has gotten away with eyepokes more than once, and he let Demetrious kick Dodson twice in the balls and land an illegal knee without a deduction.
I want Herb Dean in the next Jones fight.
Back on topic, Jones' chin was impressive. Gus isn't the hardest hitter in the division, but he tagged Jones cleanly a bunch of times. If he had, say, Rashad Evans' chin, he'd have gone down.
However, this fight also exposed Jones' striking as being very, very overrated by his fans. His elbows are hard, but his kicks by and large lack little snap or force on them. And his hands suck, too. And Gus, naturally a striker, completely neutralized Jones' supposedly godlike wrestling and ground game. Jones is clearly mortal, nowhere near as good as all his fans were hyping him before the fight. He fought someone his own size for the first time and escaped with a lucky decision, largely because it's better business for him to be the champ. Gus wasn't going to get the benefit of the doubt in a close fight, ever, even if he won clearly (which he did.) And Gus was like a 9-1 underdog going into the fight.
I don't like him, but this fight emphatically confirmed that GSP is P4P #1. Jones still has a long ways to go before he can be considered a top 3 P4P talent again. Aldo, Barao, and arguably Weidman are all in front of him now.
