i disagree. jones' reach wouldnt matter against silva. jones is very explosive, but not necessarily the most precise. he takes big chances, & thats exactly the type of shit anderson silva can & will capitalize on. to me jones is a bit more cung le than he is anderson silva, in the stand-up (since i've heard the comparisons). silva would own him if it stayed standing.
jones biggest threat to silva is his wrestling/takedowns & relentless GnP.
that shit he pulled @ the start of the fight, & other stuff like it... its just so awkward, like when you see a nerd doing or saying something that they think makes them look cool, but in reality you're almost embarrassed for them. thats how i felt watching him do that.
