Jon Jones on ESPN SportsNation poll: 'Bones' not as awesome as WWE's 'The Rock' (Video)
If you've ever seen Jon Jones fight, you'd probably agree he's pretty awesome inside the Octagon -- just not awesome enough to make him "The Most Awesomest Dude of 2011."
Not yet.
That's because he's currently trailing World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) superstar "The Rock," who has millions (and millions) of fans willing to cast their vote in favor of the part-time movie star in the ESPN SportsNation poll.
The Rock can next be seen as "Roadblock" in the upcoming G.I. Joe movie sequel "Retaliation."
Jones captured the UFC light heavyweight championship by putting the smackdown on Mauricio Rua at UFC 128 earlier this year and finished his 2011 fight campaign with a win over Lyoto Machida at UFC 140 last Saturday night (Dec. 10) on pay-per-view from the Air Canada Center in Toronto.
Those victories, coupled with his destruction of both Ryan Bader and Quinton Jackson, give Jones four wins this year, which is unquestionably "awesome" when you consider his level of opposition. But is it awesome enough to overcome the "People's Champion," Dwayne Johnson, who holds crossover appeal in Hollywood?
Find out by voting here. Just one vote can save the life of an iPad in ESPN offices around the world.

The Rock desrves it.
Why? Because he’s a cool likable guy unlike Jones. Jones would do much better playing the villain than pretending to be a nice guy. I wish the writers on here would get off his n*tt*. “We love Jones, he’s the greatest” blah blah blah
There are three types of people in this world; sheep, wolves and sheepdogs. Which one are you?
Nice sweater honey
You pick that up in the Freddy Kruger section of Wal Mart?
It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.

Bisping beats Miller (DavidWS)
Lil Nog beats Ortiz (Cruz Jackson)

Should have to do with longevity. Until silva or gsp lose he will be number 3 in my eyes which is fair I think. And I’m sure jones agrees

yes, people are too quick to raise fighters onto a pedestal without factoring in the "awesomeness factor"

someone should just kick him anyways, fuck it
i bet he wont come out crawling again, even if he does win by DQ
same when Page fucked with him during that staredown. he hasnt tried his gay stare off to the side since.
The kid just needs to be taught some lessons
jones is really a heavy weight
The guy is rail thin and built like heavyweight. It’s like Dos Santos cutting to light heavyweight. Jones in a few years will have to be a heavyweight because he won’t be able to cut to. 205lbs.

Dos Santos cutting to light heavyweight
is a bit of an exaggeration. If he went to heavyweight his game would change completely. Has Jones ever missed the mark? Serious question.
