Jon Jones = Brandon Vera Of 3 Years Ago

[Pessimist_Pete]

Sorry Jones fan boys, but its true. The hype train will derail soon. If Bader doesn't KO him, Rampage or Shogun will do it.

Brandon Vera sucks

 

I think Jones is better than him but feel for some reason he will choke against a true top competitor

[Crack_Addict]

I agree with this troll.

[Frankyboyy]

Well John Jones is good and the only way to see how good he is will be his next fight. He does have potential tought. unfortunately after that fight if he wins Bader will be called a fraud and if Bader wins people will say Jones was over hyped and was not on Baders level

[Melvinj0]

I agree with this troll.

 

Your an idiot, Joe isnt a troll hes just a Pessimist.

[Zack6]

im a big fan of jones. I see his next couple of fights going like this he will get past bader but it will be a tough fight i don't see either guy dominating it.

 

jones will then fight a top contender he will either lose here or he will make it past them. but i do see him losing one of his upcoming fights he'll drop back fight lesser competition for a few fight then he will make his rise. If he doesn't come back from the lose strong and a true top guy then i don't see him ever becoming one of the top guys.

Nah, your just new so you dont understand yet

I agree that he will either lose or win his fight against a top contender.

+1 Good point.

I also believe that he can only win or lose against a top contender.

ok i didn't word that very good. thats my bad

 

I see jones winning his next 2 or 3 fights but losing before he faces the champion. a legit lose will be big if he can come back from it he will be a force if not hes gonna end up like Vera

 

I see him as a future champ though

[UFCCagerattler]

Brandon Vera NEVER had the takedowns and GnP that Jones has.

 

What a ridiculous comparison.

[claudiorebelo]

Fail!

[fredshaulage]

What other fighter has dominated every fight so convincingly as Jones has on his way up? This is why the hype train is a runaway.

Anderson Silva comes to mind.

Jones will be champ 2011 and fight Anderson Silva for the biggest fight in UFC history!

Anderson Silva was 31 when he entered the UFC and already established. Jones was raw and only 21 years old. Not the same.

[CaZz3000]

i think Bones outclasses Vera majorly in terms of wrestling and ground'n'pound (but we all know that)

if you're just referring to hype in general, perhaps

all i can say is i am rather excited for the Bader fight

Brandon Vera did, that's who.

[UFCCagerattler]

SO did Roger Huerta.

[fredshaulage]

Brandon Vera did' date=' that's who.[/quote']

 

Not a chance in hell sport. He looked awesome in his first few fights then tanked. Jones has destroyed, not just beat, every opponent he has faced.

[Pessimist_Pete]

No. He never looked good in early fights.

[DeformedGravy]

NC / DQ

He hasnt fought anyone other than Vera, who sucks.

DQ = loss. But it could be a draw or NC

[NickTF]

It's a big possibility. They've hyped the chit out of him and Bader and the fight between them will not prove anything in my opinion except which is more deserving of the hype. I see Jones winning but still won't be sure how he will do gainst top of the division

[fredshaulage]

Hence the term "hype train" But this kid came in with no tools other than dominant Wrestling and is learning quickly. He is legit and unlike Vera has a solid mind and a camp who will keep it there. Vera is a flake and that's his downfall, not a lack of talent.

[Slam_Man]

Jon Jones looks like he trains harder then Vera ever did. Vera always had great technique obviously but he didn't look like he put much time and effort into his strength and conditioning.

[DeformedGravy]

DQ = loss. But it could be a draw or NC

 

Touche sir.

[Rumble170cHAMP]

you have it wrong it should actually read Jon Jones of 3 years ago is better then Brandon Vera will ever be today.

 

Jon Jones is your next LHW cHAMP. Theres no logical reasoning for Bader to win at all. Rampage can get taken down and destroyed or bones reach will prove too much. and Bones against shogun would be the retirement party for Ol' Bum Knees

 

 

War Jones. The train will not derail but only accelerate. I suggest you buy a round trip ticket and enjoy the view.

[Epilogue1406051983]

the only thing I see derailing Jones is either Machida by a very close UD/SD win or Jones missing weight and having to get bumped up to HW...

He'll have to move up eventually with his frame.

 

Hopefully he'll go the Overeem route if that happens and bulk up some.

 

(Insert Ubereem steroid joke here).

Vera wasn't nearly as hungry for victory as Bones. They all want to win, but you can see it in JBJ's eyes. A singular purpose and focus you don't see often. He's not worried about his post fight career like lot of today's fighters.He'll pound out all 3 of those guys.

Yeah you can tell eh, some fighters put they're life on the line in the cage, others not so much....

[nizmo270r]

Rampage would destroy Jones

 

Anyone who think JBJ could beat Rampage is just deluded

Seriously

JBJ says he wants to fight a real striker

 

Let him get KOed then he will learn not to be a trash talking snitch

 

If Jones beats Bader he should fight Rampage

[Jbrahams]

so far he looks like a true contender, I'll wait to see how he goes against Top 5 opponents
