I don't think he's invicible, he just had an optimal body type, a strong drive to get better, and a lot of inventiveness in the arena (a.e. who chokes out Lyoto standing? who elbow-boxes Rashad to get past his hand-holding nonsense?). In fact if he were slicker/smoother I'd enjoy him less, but I love that you can see him thinking as he fights.

Even when Rashad had his back he couldn't do anything with it, and it wasn't for lack of trying.
I don't appreciate a boring fighter who won't take risks to win. Jones didn't fight his most entertaining fight, but he was the only reason it was mildly interesting.

i think what you mean is no one is invincible forever.
Jones isn't going to be getting his anytime soon. And if anyone actually is different from everyone else it's Jones- I can't think of anyone else who has technique, strategy and physicality maxed out the way he does.
Maybe Overeem, but he isn't as good strategically and doesn't have the Mr. Fantastic reach.
I'm assuming Jones regularly out wrestled him in practice as well.
Either way, he didn't appear to try anything that was of any risk once the fight was basically decided if it went to a decision. He didn't try to win late.

It looked like he was wrestling a ghost to me. it was pretty great. i look forward to the inevitable gifs.

Did you not see how he looked between rounds on the stool? He looked miserable. Bones hits deceptively hard and once he lands on a guy the guy never seems to recover
I was also looking forward to this. I thought those elbows were going to do it.
Probably would have if Rashad had ever opened up, but he basically turtled up on his feet and...

But this happens frequently to guys as good as Jones. GSPs opponents also look this way. They launch some brief offense early, and get hurt badly for it. After that GSP just shuts them right down, and they feel there is nothing they can do.
Its an indicator of just how good Jones is, but it makes for some boring fights.
I must admit, he didn't look confident in himself, even at the beginning of the fight before the fight ending exchange happened.

Not a big fan of rape jokes?
He hasn't been the same since those two devastating back to back losses to Bowles and Benevidez. Getting knocked out cold for the first time in your career, then being forced to tap for the first time as well can really change a fighter I guess.
In the last month, Roy Nelson has:
-Trolled his fans: "I got asked to fight Cain for the title!" <- Last night
-Lied about cutting to 205 if he got 100k FB fans
I am kinda annoyed with him right now.
Also, he was "really good" at one time just like Tito Ortiz, Frank Shamrock, Chuck Liddell, etc. were "really good" one time. Age, tons of fights and younger, stronger, faster and more well-rounded guys will all eventually catch up to you. Just the name of the game.

Jones in the conversation for GOAT? http://www.mmafighting.com/ufc/2012/4/22/2966431/at-24-jon-jones-moves-into-g-o-a-t-consideration#3281083
Evans says there is a small possibility for him at 185 (personally, I wouldn't mind seeing that...shake things up): http://www.mmafighting.com/ufc/2012/4/22/2966714/rashad-evans-wont-rule-out-move-to-middleweight-but-likely-to-stay-at

I'd like Bones to take the next few months off and not fight Hendo until the New Year's show. He deserves the break. 5 fights in the past 14 months, 4 against former champs. Crazy schedule.

I still dislike Bones Jones, but gotta give him credit, Rashad came in looking pretty good and Jones just shut him down after the second round. Most of his shots look effortless because he's got good form, but they land hard and accurately. And god damn his elbows seem like they have as much range as most dudes' punches.
Still, as nasty and talented as he is, his fights just aren't that fun to watch. It's fun watching dudes get beat because of superior skill or training or heart. Watching dudes get beat because they're simply physically unable to get inside of Stretch Armstrong's range is just... Meh.
I would like Rashad at MW and Jones at HW, both seem to be fighting in a division they are too big / too small for, Rashad could easily make 185 and Jones has nothing left to do at LHW (Hendo?). Problem is LHW loses two of it's better names.
As sad as I feel saying so, this is exactly why Hendo isn't going to do well against Jones. He's just not going to be able to close the distance to land that right hand.
Anyone else notice that Jones' corner, in between giving advice to him, was shouting "STANKY LEG!" at Rashad?

Yeah I mean Hendo is fabulous, but Bones' accurate striking and ridiculous range is just a terrible matchup for him. Hendo's primary defense is guys being afraid to get hit by one of his H-bombs, but he's no boxer, and Jones could pick him apart effortlessly from range until Hendo gasses out.
That being said if Hendo somehow pulled it off I'd be dancing in the street, it would just be the best thing eeeever.
Remember the punches he threw to put away Babalu? That was some violent shit.
That being said... Jones will probably win.
How does this not count as Jones knocking someone the fuck out. It wasn't from strikes but it doesn't get more knocked out as that.
