I hope that Jones utilizes his standup more so we can see what level he is at. I dont see Bader giving him much trouble with his wrestling, so I want Jones to stay on the outside of Baders overhand right and show off his striking skills.

Bader is a much higher caliber wrestler then the other guys Jones has faced. There's a very good chance this fight will turn into a wrestling match. People are hyping up Jones' striking a lot, but Bader has a few KO's to his name as well. I definitely think Jones has the more exciting style, but it's kind of hard to call whose is better. Jones appears to be the more technical fighter, while Bader looks faster and stronger. I think Jones will win this one because he has looked almost flawless in his previous fights, but it only takes one fight for the aura of invincibility to be shattered.

I agree with everything except the 'faster' part. No way Bader is faster IMO.

It's gotta be rough being so young and have so many expectations to live up to. I think the best thing for his career is a decisive loss sooner rtather than later.

As far as Bader goes, I think he is the first and so far only credible opponent to actually challenge Bones.

See that makes no sense to me at all. Look at Cain Velasquez right now, the guy has had less professional fights then Jones has. His career path is very similar in terms of competition he was fighting right up until his big test which was Nog and look what happened. He hasn't had "the shit kicked out of him" in order for him to put everything together.

As soon as Jones gets a bigger name under his belt I see a very similar path. Then all the haters will believe as they do in Cain.

When someone thinks they see a hole in his game who knows if its going to still be a hole by the time they fight. At 22 and from a family of natural athletes he can easily improve to incredible levels

What is the likely hood that Jones became a jj wizard since his fight with Vera? Someone whom is really good off of their back will exploit his over aggression from top position if he doesn't improve his top game.

Who knows though he could be the next big thing but we won't know until he truly gets tested.
