Who will rule 205?

[edman5555]

After Jon Jones moves to heavyweight. Legit question. I would have said machida a while ago but hes gone to 185.

Comier
Gustaffson
Teixiera
Shogun
Rashad
Hendo
Bader
Davis
Lil nog
Cavalcante

I put little nog in there but he has no chance so no picking him.

Everyone else has a legit shot to beat almost anyone else on the list.

Cormier will rule even if Jones stays.

Possibly Gustaffson if Cormier dies from cutting weight.

Gustaffson.

Cormier is going to have a lot of trouble with the length of Gus and Jones.

I agree about cormier having trouble with their reach. Im not convinced he is going to just tear through everybody. Hes had a great run at heaveweight but light heavyweight is frankly just a lot different. At heavyweight he had a speed advantage over guys like mir and barnett, roy nelson, bigfoot, etc. In addition to that he had the wrestling advantage as well. Despite his size disadvantage he was superior due to his olympic credentials.

Now that he is at light heavyweight he is going to have to deal with a deeper roster filled with many guys who can wrestle as well as match his striking speed and ability.

I think everyone on that list could give cormier trouble.

I think it will be DC

Jon Jones isn't moving up anytime soon. Don't buy into the MMA Junkie articles.

The only two legitimate threats to Jones are Cormier and Gustafsson.

[edman5555]

I think he has spoken about going up to heavyweight for the challenge.

I think he has spoken about going up to heavyweight for the challenge.

That's how those articles get written. He is just talking.

[Mr. IWS]

I would still take Bones over all of them, but if He does leave, I have to say Cormier.
