I personally think taking Jones to the ground is a mistake, especially with his long limbs. Hendo has already said that he needs to stay close, in the clinch and avoid the elbows. I dont think Hendo would beat Jones, but anyone has a punchers chance.
As far as Jones moving to HW, he's not that far off. He's still growing, and he already walks around at 230lbs. JDS and Cain are right around that weight ~230-240, and Cain beat Lesnar who weighs ~280 on fight day. Plus I think Jones cardio is better than anyone else in HW. Time will tell.
My ideal super fight before Jones moves up to HW would be Jones vs. Silva.
