Amazing year for him. Finishes 3 former tittle holders, and catches a mugger the morning he wins the championship. Henderson is a close second, fight of the year, and knocks out Fedor. Anybody disagree?

Not sure who can stop Jon Jones. Its pretty much GG once he gets you on the ground his size just overwhelms.
-
I think it is. Shogun's 2005 was pretty close. Finished, Rampage, Overeem and Arona. Decision over Little Nog.
What's so amazing is he finished Bader, then made such a big jump in competition to Shogun and the other titlists just six weeks later. And dominated.Tpaddle likes this. -
I hope he fights Spider Silva one day.....or GSP
-
Id like to see him against gsp. I like henderson also, but jones has been more dominant IMO.

There's no way he's going to fight GSP. To much weight difference. If anyone would fight it would be GSP and Silva. Even then they would have to fight at a catch weight, and JJ is bigger then Silva.
I really am disappointed by GSP-Silva not happening yet. And at this point, doubt it ever will.
But yes, Jon Jones is just an amazing fighter. -
I'm surprised with that name he wasn't nicknamed The Martian Manhunter.
Semi-joking aside.... He's an animal. Plain and simple. -

Jones & GSP is not even possible. Well, maybe 5 years ago in a Pride open weight tourney. That's just two completely different bodies there. Jones will be a heavyweight someday.
Honestly, I don't even want to see GSP and Silva. It won't live up to the hype. With his injury and Sliva's age, I think it's pretty much kaput. I don't think GSP really wants that fight either, much the way Silva isn't interested in a Jones fight. They've got legacies, and neither guy really wants to leave their weight class. Silva has fought at 205 as penance for past sins, and one time as a favor.
Really, I'd rather GSP finish off welterweight and Silva to retire on top.
