    Betting against Jones with this reach
    +650 was pretty good I thought for a punchers chance on Belfort. But damn, 10 inch reach advantage!

    Is there even an unproven fighter with that kind of reach at 205?

    There's no fighter with that reach in even HW except for Struve. Only way Jones will lose is if a Mike Tyson reborn came unto MMA with godly TDD.

    Insane power, insane speed, incredible ability to close the distance and to be able to stuff every takedown. I doubt we'll see one soon.

      Struve is listed at 255. Seems Jones is the only one who can be that big at 205. He towers over everyone but at the same time doesn't look skinny. Wikipedia says Jones is at 84+ inches.

      Is there a site that orders fighters by reach?

        Jones is a BEAST. With that reach and wrestling he will be very hard to outpoint. Rashad Evens was probably one of his toughest callengers imo. Evens did tag him a couple times and did secure a TD. But as far as outpointing Jones... I dont see it happening anytime soon. Someone will have to catch him.

        Dan Henderson might have had the one punch power also.

        Don't know of a site that specifically lists reach.

              Indeed, and to quote Jon Jones' favourite quote of the weekend... "There's a saying that adversity is a teacher of a great hog analyst"
              ...or something along those lines.

                Wow, if that site is right there is no one close up there at that weight.
