You seriously going to take the, "I'm not a fan because I haven't seen him get rocked" stance?
That's pretty lame. You are basically sitting here and discrediting what the kid has accomplished because he's not a vet rather than congratulating him for what he has done in such a short career.
You cant deny the fact that he has a tremendous reach and size and knows how to use it, has an epic ground game, capable of an array of submissions and is incredibly versatile.
That small list I just mentioned will keep him at the top of this sport for a long long time. You can't say that about too many fighters.

Do I appear to give a **** what you think about my opinion?
Your opinion is that Jones is the real deal. Mine is that he needs to show he can survive some rough spots. You yourself said that Shogun didn't appear to be 100% and apparently now there is a video floating around from a week before the fight that shows he gassed just from some heavy bag work.
So Jones beat a marshmellowed out of shape Shogun, and we're supposed to worship at his alter. No thanks. Let him win some real battles and I'll give him more props.
