Who's next for Bones Jones?

Bones looked very good tonight but he definitely needs to watch his arms when he's on top. Better jiu jitsu guys would've subbed him.

Vera's done. He looked horrible once again. I don't know what happened to him, he looked so promising but now he just looked scared to throw.

A Jardine fight isn't attractive anymore. Jardine's best recent win is a less convincing one over Vera, and he has a bunch of bad KO losses since then.

Thiago Silva is a good choice and would be the highest ranked fighter Jones would have faced. Their styles appear to give Jones the advantage.

Ryan Bader is another rocketing contender, and like GDP said, may be a better match than Thiago for Jones. Would the UFC want to match their two brightest LHW prospects at this point though? Should they?

Forrest/Little Nog winner is another attractive option, but by far the biggest leap in competition. I am not sure if there are any questions or reservations for fights of this caliber anymore.

Take your pick kinda. I think the winner or loser would be a decent sell for Bones actually.

I have a feeling that a Vera/Jardine rematch is destined for, maybe make the broadcast under card of a PPV but probably not since it would be another decision, or a mid main to upper level fight night match.

I'd like to see Jones fight Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell or Rich Franklin next.

Sad to say but Bones would destroy Randy or Chuck at this point, I think I'd give Chuck the better chance.

Good call, but Jardine already has a next fight I believe, but that shit makes sense

Does Cane have a fight?

Don't think they'd want to pair Bones and Bader already, let them work their way up seperately. But man, those are two real solid up and comers for the UFC, Bones can do anything it seems and Bader is a tank with power in his hands.

Franklin would be a good choice if the Couture fight doesn't happen.

Isn't Cane facing the new French guy ?

going down the ufc lhw roster i only see lil nog and silva that pop out, and lil nog is already scheduled to fight forest
i don't think were giving bones enough credit for how easly he beat his last 2 opponents, he threw hammil around like a lil girl and he just whooped vera sideways

I don't think they'd do it either, but being as how both are young, either (especially jones) could lose and still make it to a title fight b4 they hit their prime.

That is a fight I want to see down the road. I don't think Bones is ready for Mousasi's striking and I don't think Mousasi is ready for Bones's wrestling. Give them a few years to develop and we'll have an epic showdown.

22 year old and 24 year old. There is time for it one day.

I say Randy would be great, just because his clinch game & GRW (Greco-Roman Wrestling) is still powerful. Forrest would get whacked, Shad might be able to hang with him, Chuck would lose...badly. How about Tito? Just so DW can watch him get his ass beat some more? Thiago would be a solid fight, but not great. Page? Might surprise him. But the Winner is? The loser of Machida/Rua.

Tito would come into that fight with a broken orbital, cracked vertibrae, crabs, and two broken hands...But he'd tell everyone he's 100% before hand

Randy gets beaten down at this point

Side question Drew: Who do you think wins at this point between Randy and Chuck?
