There it is! Another notch on the Bones belt. Jones dispatches Vera in the first via a viscious elbow that most likely broke his orbital. This is was supposed to be Jones' toughest test, and he made quick work of him. At 22 yrs old, and near the top of the division, this kid's got a long bright future in this sport.
So, who's next for Jones?
As for Vera, I think the UFC will match him agsinst Matt Hamill. Feel free to leave your match-up predictions.

He needs to fight by summer so anyone on the list that is ready my preference is T.Silva or Bader
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
You must really hate tito =P
Anderson Silva is p4p the greatest fighter of all time, Fedor and GSP fear the mighty Spider
Tito could beat 2 Jones' at once if he wanted to
Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.
So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.
wow... really?
at this point in their respective careers? i just cant envision tito being able to do any sort of damage, bones is just so explosive. i think tito would be in for a bad night, a real bad night. tito would win the war of words but i think that’s about it.
tito would win...
a war of words??? Tito can barely form a complete sentence and Jones speaks like a young sage.
Darn right I hate Tito, but that's not why...well not entirely
I would love to watch Tito get stylistically euthanized by Bones. But that aside, it’s a big name that would hype up Bones to the casual fan and give us a look at how effective his crazy takedowns are against a bigger guy with seasoned grappling and a solid chin. I think it would be a big-money fight and great publicity and experience for Bones. Dispite Tito’s total verbal idiocy and constant bitching and moaning, inside the cage, Tito is mentally and physically tough as nails. I think Bones would have a tough time finishing him. (Machida and Rashad couldn’t) and that 3 rounds would give Johnny some much needed real-time experience against a seasoned vet before he steps up to take on the TOP-5.
I think Thiago Silva will fight Bader
They both ko’d Jardine.
Tito interviewing Babalu: "I want to tell me what you see, let's go ahead and see by the fight, what you saw, in the ring."
Tito interviewing Fedor: "Let me tell you how you feeling right now?"
Thiago would get thrown around like a rag doll and get the snot beat out of him lying on his back
Rashad threw Thiago around in their fight, Jones would do even worse, plus I think Jones has better stand up than Rashad. bad match up for Thiago… Bader would be a more competitive fight, Bader’s stand up isn’t pretty, but if he connects, he can put most guys on the floor. Plus his wrestling would make it more evenly matched with takedowns, and we may even get to see Bones fighting off of his back.
Never before, have I so clearly heard the sound of a face breaking...

winner of Nogueira vs Nogueira, only chance Forrest has is if Nog beats himself.
there's still something so unifying about sport in it's purest form, when athletes rise above themselves and touch greatness and in doing so remind us all that we also have greatness inside of us.
+2
Also agree with Two Words that Thiago should fight Bader. Jones v Nog for the # 1 contender

beating vera,hammil,and bonnar doesnt give you the shot at a noguiera
he will get bader,silva,keith jardine, or the winner between page/shad before he gets that big of a fight nog would sub him in 30 seconds take nothing away from him but lil nog will be top2 if not 1 by the end of the year

Sub him? How do you suggest he get him to the ground?

It is not simply that he beat Hammil, Bonnar and Vera, it is how he beat them. Nobody has simply ran through those guys the way Jones has, which indicates Jones is ready for a top 5 fighter. Nog does not have the star power that Shad or Page has, and only Page is an option. If Page wins he will probably get a title shot since it will be 3 straight wins. I am thinking of who will have # 1 contender status, which will probably be Nog if he beats Forrest.

I hope not.
that would be a terrible move by the UFC, what does Jones have to gain from beating T.Silva?
Thiago is a popular LHW who has had 2 losses in 3 fights and even though he looked good against Evans he should get some time to rebuild. It’s time to give Jones someone closer to the title.

page is going to lose to evans and it will be easy.
what did we learn tonight. guys like irvin who have had long layoffs get beat. plus rampage weighs in around 245 250.he is unmotivated even though he says he is. even dana white knows this. why do you think they gave him the car. it’s a going away present.

I think Jones would just take Thiago down and pound him out. Sky is the limit. Wanted Vera to win that fight but Jones gets all the respect in the world, he’s dangerous.
it won't be ryan bader either. the ufc is bringing him along at just the right pace.

Lil Nog vs Jones would be a good watch.....
Lil Nog for the W.
"Champions are not made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision." -Muhammad Ali
I think it's gonna be Griffin or Nogeuira
either winner or loser. It’ll be a step up for sure.
Tito interviewing Babalu: "I want to tell me what you see, let's go ahead and see by the fight, what you saw, in the ring."
Tito interviewing Fedor: "Let me tell you how you feeling right now?"
problem is....
If Forrest loses, as I expect, then either Lil’ Nog has to take a step backwards to fight Jones, or Dana takes a huge risk of Forrest getting humiliated again, and losing 4 of 5, which would put him in jeopardy. I think if Forrest loses to Lil Nog, Dana will give him an easier fight to get him back in the win column cause he doesn’t want to cut him loose.
It's great watching the rise of Bones.
I would like to see him fight all the dudes on this list. I went with the loser of Griffin/Nog.

I picked the winner of Griffin/Nog
but after some thought, I would have to agree with you, loser of Griffin/Nog.
As impressive as Jones has been, I can’t see him deserving the winner of Griffin/Nog just yet.
Tito interviewing Babalu: "I want to tell me what you see, let's go ahead and see by the fight, what you saw, in the ring."
Tito interviewing Fedor: "Let me tell you how you feeling right now?"
Maybe it's Thiago Silve vs. Bader

Man who is going to beat this kid?
scary good next Anderson maybe.
Open up the Shit Gates and God Bless Marv
Off
Was Vera a name to put Jones on high consideration? I don’t doubt he is good but the hype after yesterday was so much in my opinion.
"Once Flamengo, Flamengo until die"
Yes Vera Was.
IF you paid attention to Jones you would have known he would walk right through Vera. Before the fight started there was never a single doubt in my mind. Bring on the next challenger.

This kid Jones is;
This kid is young, talented, powerful and athletic. He ragdolls everyone he fights. I think Bader would be an interesting match up.
