So if he beats Silva he just beat a MW but if he loses then he just sucks and always did...
Gotta love fans..
Jon Jones is fake, that is it.
Every fan would like to see Jones vs Silva. But for Johhny it's too risky to fight best MW...
Ohh well

Nobody is saying that but you
Great points, and my thoughts pretty much in a nut s .
Good retort, and you make good points, but I still disagree. I mean, you contradicted the main point when you said, "Jones is very early in his career and still growing as a champion and a fighter. Is Jones ready to fight a veteran like Silva in the biggest fight of his career? I'm not sure he is" but then later said, "You talk like he is fighting cans.. Have you even looked at his god damn resume?", which is pretty much what I'm saying and assume that's what shyne is saying too. He hasn't been fighting cans and he's been one of the most dominating champions in UFC history -- with the exception of Silva. He has obliterated his entire division to the point that they're bringing up a -talker from another division just to give him something worth while. He is ready for Silva, imo, and if he waits -- which it appears he will -- then when they do finally fight, it will be when Silva is on the decline. Maybe that's what Jones wants? Wouldn't surprise me, tbh.
I think this would be a fight that would be so mentally draining for someone of Jones age and experience. Think about it, you are 25 and have only been in the game for 4 years and you are fighting the man everyone says is the GOAT.. That is serious pressure. I am not saying Jones can't win the fight but i'd hate to see him rush into it and on Siva's terms. Silva just a few days ago hinted that maybe he'll fight Jones but only at a catchweight,
typical move from Silva.
“So, I don’t know,” he continued. “I wouldn't like it. But if it happens, it would be at a catch-weight -- not for the belt. I already have mine, and I do not want to leave a le dropped."

I wish Silva was younger because we could be looking at a series of fights with Jones but IMO if he did fight Jones it would be one and done and he'd never risk a rematch. When GSP fought Hughes the first time he was not ready to overtake him but 2 years later he was fully prepared to smash Hughes... We'll see what shakes down here in the next year. Maybe the GSP fight happens at a catchweight and Silva loses.. Maybe Silva retires, maybe he fights Jones at 205.. Who knows?

Interesting now, how will Chael approach Jones. How about his talking now? He talks trash one day and the other he is getting along with Jon.
Let's see how it's gonna look on TUF.
Would be funny if now at LHW, he goes back to how he was before he redefined his career as a trash talker in the MW division.
Well this should make things awkward

I thought Chael and Hendo weren't speaking LOL.. Well Jones can tell Hendo off at the same time..
Seriously? .
That was weird. If Jones and Chael get along the whole point of making them coaches will be erased.
Chael is a hero, I just hope he knows what he's doing cuz it's true that this isn't about money cuz he's pretty wealthy already. I could totally see Jones putting him in the crucifix and splitting his head open tho.![]()
Sonnen is going to make the season worth it just from the promos alone
I'll post the YT link when it is available
Chaels a tough, scrappy guy. Thats not going to keep him
From getting ed up though. War Bones
