Jon Jones vs. Dan Henderson?

Postby Jeremy Green » Sun Apr 22, 2012 6:03 pm

Jon Jones recently dominated Rashad Evans in route to a unanimous decision. It was confirmed yesterday that he will be taking on Dan Henderson for the light heavyweight strap. So who wins this fight? Does Dan Henderson stand a puncher's chance against Jones? Will Jones dominate him just like he has with every other fighter he has faced inside the UFC?

I dont know anymore. Jones would probably win, henderson has a strong chin but Jones would probably do something crazy stupid and come out with a win.

Jones is just so big I doubt anyone can match his athleticism and reach. That being said, I think Hendo has a punchers chance, but that chance is very slim.

For me this is not a good matchup. I'm sure it's going to end with Henderson being chocked or knockout. He is too small and the way he fights now are purely standup so there's no chance that he can win the fight unless he can land a lucky punch.

Henderson has a puncher's chance of taking Jones out. Other than that, I don't see him emerging victorious against Jones. Jones is much younger, is better conditioned, is the larger guy and has a ridiculously long reach. I like Hendo, but I think Jones will demolish him just like he did with all his previous opponents.

Henderson's done pretty well for himself, 7-1 at three different weight classes. But Jones is one of THE best pound for pound fighters in the world. With the size and reach advantage over Henderson, odds are it's Jones who comes out the victor.

I think Henderson gets dominated just like all of the opponents of Jon Jones.

I was right with my prediction on how Jones will easily defeat Evans and this Henderson guy has no chance of defeating Silva at all. I can't blame the UFC of having not much opponent for Jones but trust me, no one can beat Jones at this level of his career.

I think the only way Jones looses is if he looses interest and slacks off during training, which will never happen because he seems like a motivated guy. Maybe a lucky punch will land on him, but I doubt that as well.

Jon Jones is one of the fighters who actually loves to train and is always spending time in the gym, but even if he doesn't train hard for a fight, the guy has natural skills and can always dismantle anyone.
