  jones not scared of anyone i dont think , the reason he changed his mind i think was cuz all these challengers started popping up in light heavy, and we all thought he cleared out the division then cormier moves down

  he thought he could beat alex in dominant fashion and he couldn't. it wouldn't really look right for him to move up when he didn't dominate the LHW division the way he thought he would.
  
  but now it gives him a reason to stay at LHW. if he beats alex in dominant fashion 2nd time i don't think he'll move up to HW then. he'll stay at LHW as long as the weight cut remains manageable.
  
  and i'm sure he would be scared of cain - he's scared of alex and he beat him...

  tbh i see jones staying at light heavy for the rest of his career more contenders keep coming through,and i thought the same toi thought jones was gona just smah alex but dont foget he was coming off that bad toe break in the chael sonnen fight

  don't forget though that chael sonnen, like the majority of jones' opponents are natural middleweights lol who he takes a lot less damage against that he would if he was fighting all guys like teixera, alex, johnson etc. he's gonna find it tougher from now on...
  
  but yea we'll see what happens, he might not move to HW ever

  i can see him maybe going to one of these new weight classes i hear floating around,someone told ,me they want to add more weight classes like 167 pounders lol ,what u think of that
  ?

  hhmm, so what kind of weight class would be go to? 215 or something like that?
  
  well i can't see that happening any time soon - i mean 167 (lol..?) maybe because there are always a lot of fighters there - 155 and 170 are usually the most stacked divisions, but there is usually a shortage of HW and LHW so i think jones is the wrong size to benefit from such a thing..

  well a while back nate diaz said that and everyone kinda liked the idea but my thing is i dont wana see guys dropping down or up just cuz they lose a fight ,they always think its the weight class lol maybe u just need to get better lol

  well as there are more and more fighters i think it is fair enough that you'll see genuinely some guys just don't fit certain classes. like GSP for example - he MIGHT just be too small now to compete with the bigger WW as they get bigger, but he probably too big for 155. i'm not sure wouldn't trust anything nick diaz says too much though lol, cuz nick IS big enough, but he's not good enough...
  
  either way guys of jones' size who are good are gold dust for ufc..
  
  one thing they COULD make eventually though is SUPER heavyweight - cuz if you weigh 225 or 265 you're a heavy, that's not really fair...

  no nate said it to dana and ariel hewani asked him about the idea of more weight classes and dana said i like it i like the idea,but nate only said it cuz he was on a losing streak lol

  Timm24 > 25/08/2014, 14:58

  right well who knows maybe they'll do it but right now they dont have THAT many fighters and they definitely short of stars. you see how hard they're tring to push pettis right now make him into a star? in the long term maybe they'll have more - god knows dana wants ufc cards like 3 times a week if he could lol
