I was looking forward to seeing Chael climb the light heavyweight ranks to get to the title. It will still be as satisfying to watch him beat Jones on TUF then take his belt though.
Thoughts? It's going to be great tv!

Jones wrestling is not on the same level as Sonnen that's a fact. We are yet to see Jones on his back. Come April 27th we will find out how he deals with that if he can.Quote:

While Chael arguably has the best takedown/pressure game in the UFC I just think that Jones size and athleticism will make takedowns difficult. I take Jones with a 2nd or 3rd round ko.
Agreed, Sonnens takedowns are right up as been one of the best in the UFC, but the is a reason ya aint seen Jones on his back yet, Evans, Hendo et al all failed to get him down and hold him there, he's got great takedown defence.Quote:

I think you've been smoking the :wackomz4: Jones hasn't fought Hendo yet? And Rashad don't remember Rashad going for the takedown really.Quote:

Rashad has takendown every opponent he has tried to get to the ground. He did not attempt one takedown on Jones. You have no idea how Rashad felt unless you are secretly him. It wasn't anything Jones did to stop it. It was simply Rashad who didn't even attempt one.Quote:

Ok, so using the opening gambit of your statement: "Rashad has takendown everyone he has tried too", so why then not try it with Jones? It does beg the question doesn't it!?Quote:
