Jones is a tough puzzle to solve. His 84.5 inch reach can give him a big advantage when striking from the outside. Normally with a guy like this, you'd want to get in close but then Jones' long legs and wrestling experience let's him use judo throws and TDs nearly at will. You drop your hips below his to defend the judo throw and he takes you down with wrestling. Aguy like A. Silva is the worst type of match up for him. The thai clinch can control Jones' movement to greatly help negate throws and TDs, while if Jones gets his back against the cage like Silva has done to numerous opponents, his throws and TDs wont work. The best way to beat Jones is to put himagainst the cage and use dirty boxing and muay thai. From there it's also possible to take him down, and work the ground game in a dominant position. A. Silva wouldn't take him down though, he'd probably just work his muay thai and close the distance rather than staying on the outside. The longer your arms are the harder it is to hit the opponent the closer they are. That is not to say that Jones wouldn't be a tough fight because i feel that Silva's weakness is wrestling, but Silva also has great jiu jitsu, and would take the 1,000,000 submission opportunities that Jones gave to Vera.
