It almost looked like a simultaneous Karate Kid "sweep the leg" and pro wrestling clothesline. Some here have claimed prime Chuck Liddell would be a tough fight for Jones due to his TDD. But I've always argued Jones is very different from guys Chuck fought like Tito and Couture who used standard double and single legs. Jones has always had good throws/trips from the clinch and unorthodox stuff like he did tonight. I think his prime self takes down any LHW, and almost any HW.
 
It’s called the mannequin pulldown. Your opponent has to offer no resistance for it to work.
 
He'd have trouble with Chuck

And likely lose to werdum, Barnett, nog, Reem, Cain, jds, volkov and of course fedor
