britishranger Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 I was just reading on mmajunkie that Dana White has said the hype surrounding Jones is warranted but a title shot is more than a year away so guys- Who will he fight in the mean time and will he stay undefeated and obviously White has the title shots pannedout so who do you reckon will get the next few shots at the gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1roycegracie Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 This could be a very exciting year in terms of LHW championship fights. The Machida-Shogun fight will probably tell us who will get the next title shot because I really think that if Shogun wins A. Silva will fight him but if Machida wins, I honestly have no clue as to who he will fight. He has already destroyed Thiago and Rashad, Rampage is fighting Rashad next, Jones' title shot is a little further down the road, and I don't think that Couture should get a shot quite yet. It will be very interesting to see who Machida fights next if he happens to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
170lbking Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 I agree with Dana saying he is about a year away from a title shot and that is only if he continues to win the way he has. Vera was a huge step up and I'm still a little shocked on how he destroyed my boy Brandon. Jones should fight the loser of the Griffin vs Lil Nog fight and if he wins that fight...maybe he should fight the winner of the Rampage vs Evans fight...then he should be title shot certified.

berghausen Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 I could see bones fighting either Couture, Franklin or Thiago. Maybe Jardine if they are feeling nice, or even Bader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if Rampage wins against Rashad, a chance to get the title back might get his head back in the game, I would love to see Rampage vs Machida too. I also have a feeling that Randy isnt going to have the hardest road to a title shot if he keeps winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForrestGriffinFan101 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 You know what sucks? If the LHW division wasn't so freakin stacked Jones would already have a title shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjameson6969 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 I think for once Danas got it spot on, A year's about right in my eyes, I'd like to see him fight Thiago Silva. I think its a fight he'd win too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjameson6969 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 You know what sucks? If the LHW division wasn't so freakin stacked Jones would already have a title shot I agree, kinda like a Brock deal. Jones looks a hell of alot better than Brock did when he first fought in the ufc.

Muay_Thai_Leeds Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 I agree' date=' kinda like a Brock deal.Jones looks a hell of alot better than Brock did when he first fought in the ufc.[/quote'] The difference is the age tho, I think its in Jones best interest to wait, Brock is already what 32-33, Jones is 22, he needs more experience, imagine if he lost the title for a silly mistake like in the Hammil fight.

Little_Kang Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Bones will smash everyone short of Nogueira, Shogun, Machida and Rampage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtp Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 He is going to lose in his next two fights. Im eating my words about the Vera fight, thought Vera was gonna do it, but I was waaay off. Jones is going to fight someone who will be ready for what he has and knock him off this little streak he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technique Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Interesting. I think jones is capable now, but the time to mature is probably needed. The guy will be around, busting people up for a long time. I think Couture is closer to a title shot than most people think. With his history, and only being in big fights, his whole career I could see it happening within his next couple of fights. And I think he has the tools to beat Machida, and possibly Rua. He's a life-long underdog and always game plans extremely well. War Couture!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetfan30 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Will Jones and Evans even fight seeing how their from the same camp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeGermanVon Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 i think thiago would be too big of a jump for bones' next fight. He would smash Jardine IMO but I am interested in him vs Bader, similar to the cain vs JDS fight with two young lions going at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOGMAN Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Bones will smash everyone short of Nogueira' date=' Shogun, Machida and Rampage[/quote'] I wouldn't be so sure about that. I can't even remember seeing the guy get hit. I'd like to see him fight an athletic guy like Rashad (which I know won't happen, as they are from the same camp), or a guy like Phil Davis who would cancel out his wrestling. I'd like to see him fight a guy with good TDD and heavy hands (maybe Chuck?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Jack_Attack Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 I think Jones should fight either the winner of Griffin/Lil Nog or maybe the loser of Rua/Machida.. It's a stacked division. The possibilities are endless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaitandSee Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 i think thiago silva is next for jones. the timing is right, and it makes sense imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunchBag Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 i can see a bones vs jardine fight happening, sicne both of them are a little unorthodox in thier striking. But i think jardine would yet again get mauled he should fight the looser of rashad and rampage in my opinion and then after that, possibly shogun or machida depending on who looses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
