Top 5 Forum Threads of the Week

Jon “Bones” Jones is open to at least one super fight. | Photo: Dave Mandel/Sherdog.com
Jon Jones within the next year faces the probability of two serious challenges to his reign as Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight titleholder, with a showdown against Daniel Cormier and a rematch against Alexander Gustafsson on the horizon.
Still, the 27-year-old “Bones” allows himself time to dream. In an Aug. 9 interview with Sherdog.com, Jones discussed the idea of a hypothetical super fight with middleweight champion Chris Weidman.
“Oh, man, I think that would be awesome,” Jones said. “I would absolutely jump at the opportunity to have a super fight with Chris Weidman. I respect him a lot as a person and as a champion, and I think that that fight would make great sales -- absolutely.”
Weidman, who ended Anderson Silva’s historic reign at 185 pounds a little more than a year ago, has successfully defended the middleweight crown on two different occasions: He defeated Silva in their UFC 168 rematch in December and then turned away the advances of Lyoto Machida at UFC 175 in July.
The subject of a Jones-Weidman super fight was a point of interest on the Sherdog.net forums this week:
* DREAM SCENARIO
* SOMETHING TO PROVE
* DANIEL THE INCREDULOUS
* MMA’S SWEETHEART
* PARTING SHOT
