If you really examine Bones' career, it is nothing short of remarkable at this point. The fact that he is only 27 makes it even more of a head scratcher. This kid is the youngest champion in history. He is as close to undefeated as you can get, never suffering a loss from decision, submission, or KO. He destroyed 5 former champions consecutively. The knock on him is those champions were not really light heavy weights, which is ridiculous, so now he beats one of the best heavy weights in the world who was undefeated at the time.
He didn't just beat DC though, he beat him at his own game, clinch and wrestling. Fedor was known for doing that to fighters, like striking with Cro-Cop and beating him at his own game or sitting in Nog's guard and GnP him to oblivion. Bones does that same sort of thing to fighters. That special, whatever it is, Bones has it.
Gus arguably beat him to a lot of people. People view Jones as this destructive force like Tyson was but I don't see it. I see flaws in his game. He is definitely a smart fighter. Vitor almost took his arm. If Fedor was in that position what would've happened? I could see Fedor dropping against the cage pulling that shit off. Tyson and Fedor were both rocked maybe once in their reign and dominated every round. Jones doesn't have that factor going.
Bones is special I agree. Anyone who says otherwise are being foolish.
