Any chance we ever see these two against each other within the next year or two? If so, who wins and why?

Velasquez cannot stay healthy long enough to defend his own belt let alone a superfight

Probably not. Cain is injury prone and Jones has said that he wants to retire at 30.

Cain is the baddest man on the planet, he would run through Jones IMO (assuming both are 100% healthy).

He can do everything that Jones can do and just as well. Plus he's heavier and more powerful.

Let Jones actually beat Gus before you start up on superfights.

The arse-whoopin he received says otherwise.

I actually like Jones and was pulling for him in that fight, but he got his arse beat.

I take it you also believe GSP beat Hendricks.

I do. Because, you know, GSP actually DID beat Hendricks.

If Jones gets past Gus, he needs to step and fight DC. Then if Jones does all that (wins over Gus and DC), then he can step up to Cain.

Well, along with 2 judges, I think you make 3 people that believe that.

I think Cain would get inside of Jones' range and beat him to a pulp against the fence and on the ground (like he did Dos Santos).

The facts are Jones and GSP both got their asses kicked and won on extremely questionable split decisions. I say this as a fan of both GSP and Jones.

cain would rag doll jones and destroy him. Especially since Jones doesn't have one shot knockout power it would be that much easier for cain to close the distance and put the pressure on. On top of that Cain has crazy cardio and can keep a high level of pressure on Jones the entire fight.

GSP lost but saying Jones got a questionable split decision is a joke. Gus also got his arse kicked. It was a close fight yes but I had Jones winning the fight and any close fight is going to go to the champ.

Jones beat Gus. GSP beat Hendricks. All that matters.
