Would Jon Jones beat Junior Dos Santos?

[Andrei Orlovski]

What do you think? If he ever moves up to HW to take Cain's belt.

 

[yookfarb]

Hard to say

On one hand, Junior has everything you'd like to have to beat Jones...amazing TDD, height, decent reach, great boxing, disgusting power, bigger/stronger

On the other hand, who is better suited to take advantage of a predictable opponent like Junior than the most versatile fighter in UFC history?(with Greg Jackson in his corner no less)

 

[Fbed]

Its a tough one.

If Jones could avoid JDS power shots, maybe

Easier said then done

 

[Luke Rockhard]

Jones should defend his belt Ten times. Then take the HW strap, defend it 5 times then retire. Easily attainable

 

[Jballer]

JDS would be one of the easier opponents for Jones in the top of the HW division.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

JDS looked bad against Stipe... I mean he beat a great fighter but he has looked better in the past.

JBJ would have his hands full if he goes to HW... JDS, Stipe, Overeem, Cain, Werdum... no joke there.

 

[RoyJonesJr]

No

Dc was unproven to a certain degree

 

[biscuitsbrah]

Easily

 

[STRAWBOSS]

JJ should immediately go up to HW and constantly troll Cain until he actually gets the match-up. And then beat him.

 

[Breakitdown]

He would absolutely decimate him.

 

[BreadnButter]

Nope. One solid punch from JDS and Jones goes to sleep.

 

[Horse Meat]

No.

Not just no, fuck no.

 

[FacePlantingPro]

Yes.

JDS has worst cardio than DC.

 

[That Idiot Tibor**]

"could"

I seriously doubt it though. JDS by KO.

 

[Andrei Orlovski]

Yes.

JDS has worst cardio than DC.

Maybe, but would Jones be able to eat as many uppercuts from Junior like he did against DC before the last 2 rounds where it got one sided?

 

[KantoTerror]

Only Cain can potentially stop Jones from being a two-div titleholder...and I still think Jones beats Cain 3/5.

 

[Luke Rockhard]

jones needs to rematch Gus. Fight Rumble, then he can take the HW belt from Cain, tool Werdum (probably by submission), KO JDS, walk thru Browne, then beat a couple former HW champ favorites who are coming off non-top 15 HW wins like vs a frank Mir or Arlovski after he cleared out the HW division. Then Jones can retire as GOAT.

 

[MMABr]

stylistically it's winnable for Jones. JDS can't get off the cage to save his life...

 

[Joey Sangfroid]

Very possible JJ can eat those shots.

 

[born2killl]

JDS from last fight would get his ass kicked.

JDS from the mark hunt fight & previous with good movement has a 25% chance.
