rhys_ufc Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Vera is a tougher test than Bader in my opinion, i'd give him a top 5, maybe Thiago Silva? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karate_Cowboy Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Vera is a tougher test than Bader in my opinion' date=' i'd give him a top 5, maybe Thiago Silva?[/quote'] ya... bader would be a step down from vera. so if he beats vera like i believe he will id say give him another rank 10-6 guy. i dont think he would be up for a top 5 guy yet.

whytho1 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 This. If Bones wins' date=' then he should get the [u']loser[/u] of Rampage/Rashad. If Bones loses, then he should get a rematch with Matt Hamill. why? so that Hamill can almost die again? If Bones wins, the best scenario would be something like.... Bones vs Vera...Bones wins and fights Thiago, winner fights loser of Rampage Rashad....winner of that becomes number 1 contender but gets the run around for the next year and a half and has to fight Jardine in a tune up bout before fighting Shogun or Machida. while one of these guys mentioned has to face Anderson Silva in a pointless ego match since anderson does not want to fight for the belt at 205. but still wants to have fights at 205 so he can cement his status as one of the best all time, while in the process...ruining the BS rankings that the UFC has irresponsibly neglected to established in the first place. Why the UFC doesnt have an actual set ranking for the public to see...i will absolutely never understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VintageGt Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Bones can't fight Rashad since they're teammates He still can fight him if they want to get it on, I don't think there is any ruling against it unless they just choose not to like Machida and Silva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccos13 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 why? so that Hamill can almost die again? Matt Hamill is not a bad fighter. Although I think Hamill would lose again, it would definitely be a much closer fight. And lets not forget that Bones might be interested in a fight like this. Remember, Hamill won the fight.

PunchBag Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Bones vs Thiago would be an interesting fight, but i think bones would end up using his wrestling to score points after seeing rashad pull it off.

MMA_Fanatic_89 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I he wins he should get loser of Rampage/Rashad. If he loses i say maybe Rich Franklin or loser of Randy/Coleman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirko4life Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 The hype surrounding Jon Jones is so crazy. How can you say he will beat Vera for sure is beyond my understanding. IMO, Vera will stop the hype train that Jones is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stokesyboy Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 too early in my opinion for a top 5, give him Jardine and if he convinvingly beats him then step him up a notch to Alves or Couture I Think Joned Will go far in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMA_Fanatic_89 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Couture would look like he's in slow motion compared to Jones. That's what everyone said about Couture/Vera. If Randy could utilize the clinch and keep Jones pressed up against the cage, Jone's speed would have no effect on the veteran. But that's a big if.

Kristufa Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 IF, and that's a big if, he beats Vera, I think Thiago or the loser of Rampage/Rashad should be next. Beating Vera would prove he's legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokerslastlaugh Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 after jon jones decisively beats Vera on March 21st i think his next fight should be either ryan bader (if he wins) or thiago silva would also be a nice fight for jones. opinions??? Whoa' date=' whoa, whoa, whoa. Counting Vera out like that is foolish. I like Jones as much as the next guy, but I believe Vera vs Jones is going to be a completely unpredictable and awesome fight. I thought Vera beat Couture. Vera thought he beat Couture. Vera is hungry for the win for sure. This. If Bones wins, then he should get the loser of Rampage/Rashad. If Bones loses, then he should get a rematch with Matt Hamill. A lot of you guys are agreeing to this, but don't you think it's too soon? I think either Rampage or Rashad would destroy Jones right now. In the future sometime, yes, but Jones is still moving up and proving himself. I think that if Jones beats Vera, he should get the loser of Griffin/Lil' Nog. Except that their fight is a long time away, and as long as he's healthy, he needs more fights. So I don't really think this would work. Sooo, I think the winner of this match should get Thiago Silva, like others were saying. He is in between Rampage/Rashad and Vera/Jones, so I think it's the perfect next step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that [b']if[/b] Jones beats Vera, he should get the loser of Griffin/Lil' Nog. Yeah but Forrest and Nogueira are pretty much the same skill level as Rashad/Rampage. And we saw that Thiago at least had plenty of chances to beat Rashad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
