Jones was bigger, stronger, and faster than Shogun. The real killer though was the reach advantage. Shogun had to charge in to even try to hit him, which allowed Jones to easily dodge or counter it. I think Jones is kind of like Brock Lesnar. He seems unstoppable, but someone just needs to figure out the right game plan to beat him. He's a freak athlete, but he has a lot more overall skill than Lesnar which makes it even more difficult.

I think perfect timing + killer leg kicks could have slowed Jones down and taken away some of that reach. Other strategy would be someone who can take him down and keep him there GSP style.

Ya, he's really awesome, always friendly, even says hi to the scrubs in the gym lol.

I think whats so amazing about Jones right now is that he has not been put into a bad spot yet, he's also taken very little damage so if he keeps that up he has a long career ahead of him.

If he gets beat, I see it happening in a "Lay n pray" more grinding fashion, but he seems to have enough escapes and he'll be hard to keep down. I'm excited to see how far this kid can go.
