I don't know either, but just bear with me here. What if JDS's next opponent was Bones Jones? Of course it isn't because of the Rashad Fight, but what if? I think Jones could beat JDS and be the first Light Heavy/Heavyweight Champion. What do the rest of you think? Sound off Fannation!!

I think Bones would stand a decent chance as well. But I also think JDS and Cain (and maybe a couple of other HWs) have the right tools to stop Bones. (JDS due to size and striking in the pocket, Cain due to grappling strength and cardio).

Bones will have to move up to HW in 2013 if he handles Rashad and Hendo (and maybe Gustaffson) the same way he disposed of his last 3 opponents. No need to rush him up there early since he and JDS are both still young and they have lots of time to let the eventual fight build up.

Jones is unorthodox enough to make this a solid fight.

unorthodox yes. But I doubt he could hurt JDS.
JDS is fast enough to catch bones at some point.
And he is bigger than most opponents Jones fought.

With the amount of time until the fight, I doubt Jones could prepare for a fight like this.
