I'm kind of wondering why Jon Jones isn't seeing more action.I think he might be actually right near the top,and we should be seeing this happen quick.

Think he's got a fight with Ryan Bader next, that should be a better step up..... Think Baders still undefeated too..... I think Jones is still a kid ( like early 20s ) so Dana is bringing him along slowly, knows he could be the future.Originally Posted by cog
The guy is an insane athlete for sure.
84 inch reach for Jones.74 for Bader.

Can't wait to see Overeem fight Werdum, I want to see him fight the best.
The guy has impressed the hell out of mr his last 2 fights, I've never seen a guy that big with striking that good.

Interesting- Machida is #4 but Dana is saying he's in a must win situation against Couture.
Overeem's still #6.
Belfort isn't even top 10..... I didn't really think beating up on poor old Rich Franklin deserved a title shot anyways..... Franklin is completely shot......
Ever since Silva hammered him..
Both times.... My thoughts exactly.
Silva/GSP this summer? Love to see that fight.
