Jon Jones looks as close to unbeatable as a fighter has looked since Fedor Emelianenko made his run in PRIDE. Sure, there are some holes in his game, just like everyone else, but who is going to exploit them?
Vitor Belfort came close to exploiting the grappling holes in Jones’ game, but ultimately felt the wrath of Jones’ elbows. Rashad Evans was supposed to be the guy to take Jones out, given their past, but he could do nothing more than stand in awe of Jones’ freakish reach. Lyoto Machida appeared to have the unsolvable riddle for Jones on the feet, but was still dropped like a bad habit (literally).
All of Jones’ opponents have presented a unique challenge for the champion to overcome and to this point, Jones has passed with flying colors. With a few title challengers possibly in the works, the UFC has some options available to them when booking Jones’ next fight.
Other than their fighting styles, each man also offers a unique selling point to build a pay-per-view around. But what one of his future opponents makes the most sense?
