Jon Jones would destroy Phil Davis right now. He would knock Davis out striking. Bones could stop his Takedowns but Phil Davis is definitely on his way up to that level. I think he deserves a low top 10 guy. Maybe winner of vera/silva or hammill or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumble170cHAMP Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 i heavily heavily disagree based on what? the ability of davis to take down cans or the ability of jones to manhandle top wrestlers like nothing? I see Bones easily winning the striking game if it came to that as well. Phil Davis is a really good grappler and powerful, but not a finisher like Bones is. I think Bones takes him down and elbows a hole into his head. Davis on his back would not fare well imo. With more striking training Phil Davis could absolutely be a top LHW, but he hasnt faced the competition yet to warrant that title. In a year or two though that thought may very well change, i wont doubt that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not bought into any hype train. Ive known he was a great fighter for quite some time now. I am perfectly capable on reasonable conversation if reasonable points are brought up to me not saying his striking is nonsense with no reasoning behind. Youve just made yourself a hypocrite.. I would gladly have an intelligent debate with you if youd like, but saying his striking is nonsense without reasoning is complete nonsense and you know this. Besides Bones would simply takedown any supreme striker and finish him quickly on the ground like he previously has proven to be quite capable of.

His JUCO rasslin title? doubtful, The Judo he (by his own word) learned off of youtube? doubtful. And when he comes up against Bader we'll see who dominates where the fight takes place.

Rumble170cHAMP Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Ive been following bones before he entered the UFC when he was defeating guys like Parker Porter, Moyses Gabin, Ryan Varett.

I believe he completely manhandled guys like Hammil, Vera, and Matyushenko who are all supreme proven wrestlers.... He can take down anyone he wants to. The Bader will be huge no doubt. Bader looked sloppy against Jardine though and was lucky to catch him at the end of the fight. I dont see anywhere that Bader has the advantage. He has yet to prove any dominance to me. Bones is a finisher, a proven finisher. I dont see where Bader can win. Also what fighters in the LHW division are supremem BJJ strikers that can defeat him easily. Rashad, Rampage, Rua, Bader... none of these guys in the top tier are primarily BJJ fighters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
