A. Silva is also unpredictable and dangerous, but not wild. He is extremely calculating and lightning fast. I don't think JJ will ever have that. | What is the last Jones fight you've seen? Jones stopped relying on wild strikes a while ago. He will do spinning elbows maybe 1 time every other round, but the vast majority of his strikes are technical.

It isn't about how many he throws, it is just a psychological thing makes a lot of guys tentative. Flying knees, spinning elbows/backfists etc are part of his psychological advantage.
My point wasn't that he throws them all the time, just that they are a big reason other fighters are tentative fighting him. When he becomes more conservative (Nearly every fighter with his style does when they get stopped the first time), he will lose that psychological advantage, and fighters will start beating him because they are more confident, not because he is worse.

j/k ct | He probably uses between 6 and 7. Actually, probably around 6.34, because the pieces arent really whole all the time.
Really though, I analyzed the shit out of Jones' fights, same with Silva's. Ive probably seen all of their fights (in the past 7 years) about 6 times each.

Daniel, you need to worry about just fighting ANYONE at this point. You definitely aren't getting any younger.
