Who's next for Bones Jones?

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.

Dude stop. Bones would beat the living shit out of Randy. No one wants to see him die in the cage

I already said Bones vs Spider @ 205 before the Vera fight .. So I am sticking with that.

I want Bones vs Lil Nog or Bones vs the loser of Rashad/Rampage.

Lets see if Jones is a real contender. He's beaten down some solid 205ers already.

+1 bobbit. Bones would greco toss Randy fucking Couture for half a round and KO him with spinning back elbow that would fracture the man's skull.

Is it safe to say Bones has the best throws and elbows from the top in MMA right now?

Jon Bones Jones is the future champ. This guy could be the new face of mma. I guess give him Thiago but i think he'll blow right through him.

Yeah Thiago would be a step up name wise but I'm not seeing anyway he keeps Bones from grabbing and throwing him repeatedly and landing shots from top position until its mercifully stopped

Bones boxing at UFC 100 left a lot to be desired, and he left him self open, so a guy like Thiago does present a challenge. All depends on how well bones has improved his striking.

agree his last 2 fights have been his most impressive IMO

THIS!!! It would be awesome.

Don't think they'd want to blow their wad with Bones and Spider this early

Did they say Bones has the longest reach in UFC history?

I say why not for bones and spider. Bones is young enough to recover from a loss (if he loses) to a great champ. And there is nothing that intriguing in the MW division other then belfort.

The MW division isn't deep but after this fight with Maia I know everyone still wants to see him fight Vitor and then after Sonnen's shit talking I still want to see that fight as well and Chael has earned it. Maybe by that time Bones will be ready for a title shot and if he wins Anderson can move up to fight him

There is Vladimir Matyushenko, who also won a fight last night, and who has floated in and out of top ten lists over the course of his career.

People are getting ridiculous. Anderson would destroy Bones. Gegard would beat him also. He is a much better striker and he actually could throw subs from off of his back. Bones would get arm barred quick if he did the same thing to Gegard or Anderson yesterday.

Abso-fuckin'-lutely. Jon Jones has too much to work on before he even considers fighting Anderson Silva. Silva would destroy him. If he posted that arm like he did on Vera, Silva would have grabbed it, thrown it across his neck and triangled the shit out of him. Not to mention, the fight's not getting that far anyways, because he's not ready for the striking skills of Anderson. And does anyone think it's wise to try to get into clinch range with him? People need to realize that Bones is a great PROSPECT, not a great contender. He still has HUGE holes in his game that would be exploited by the elite fighters he would face.

I'm a massive Jones fan and I believe he is the future but talk of him fighting Anderson Silva now is crazy. People are saying he would recover if he lost but how long did it take Vitor Belfort to recover? Let him build himself up 1st. Rich Franklin or Randy Couture should be next.

Best throws probably but best elbows from the top? I don't know, GSP and Kenny might have something to say about that.

RICH FRANKLIN?! He would kill Rich, Randy could sneak a win by killing Jones with the clinch, Franklin? No fucking way. Oh and I don't want to hear all the Jones is Coutures equal in the clinch either. Nobody and I mean nobody is Randy's equal in that regard. He will sap time, strength, and motivation with his clinch and I don't care how old he is. In fact I am awaiting another contract extension for him at any time he is already halfway through it.

As for Jones having the best elbows? I think it is a tight competition between Kenflo, Jones, and GSP. I think they are all terrefic with that weapon.

Randy should not be allowed to fight anybody under the age of 30

While I do agree on Anderson, Bones would get Mousasi down and GnP him, he left his arm out for a small portion of that fight, his GnP is viscous, I see him stopping Gerard. He just detsroyed Vera who is probably a better fighter than anyone Mousasi has faced to this point, I see no reason to believe he could beat Mousasi.
