He is the future Anderson Silva. Jones will completely dominate. Early mma was dominated by bjj. Then wrestling/gnp as an answer came along. The future = good grappling + incredibly great standup. Silva and Machida are that now. Jones and similar fighters are the future. There are many good reasons the UFC signed him as the youngest recruit so far. This match is just a resume builder for Jones. I feel bad for Hamill in that sense. I like Hamill a lot but Jones is light years ahead. He is the future Anderson Silva.

I'm going with Jones by ko or tko in round 2 at the latest. Hamill’s stand up is improving, but he still tends to drop his hands. I’m going with Jones by ko or tko in round 2 at the latest.

He is smart enough to use a gameplan and his wrestling is a league above Jones'. I hope im wrong Id like to see Bones become a breakout star, and him and Mousasi get together down the road in a year or two. Hammil by dec.

I think with Hammils power if he could really put his ground and pound together he could do some good things at 205.

Same for Jones if he wins. I will go with Jones here as he is mutch faster than Hammil and with thier wrestling being close(besides the fact that Hammil never uses his wrestling) Jones wins.

Hamill is growing on me with his much improved stand up. The man is naturally strong so it only makes sense to get that part of his game going. JJ is "quick fast" and very unpredictable. Staying on his feet is a must for him cause his cardio is suspect imo. Hamill gets him down for any period of time it could be an upset. This is not going to be as easy for JJ as it looks. If the past stays true Hamill has most likely loaded up on more knowledge cause he is a sponge for it. I have JJ by dec Love JJ and love the match up.

He will end Hamill's night quickly. I don't think Matt Hamill is as good as Jake O'Brien. I do like Matt Hamill and really appreciate what's he's overcome in life growing up deaf, but he will be outmatched vs. Jon Jones. Bet the house on this one. It's free money.

Excellent match-up of rising talents in the UFC LHW division. Jones' talent and potential are obvious. Great skill set with Greco-Roman and muy thai, augmented by speed, reflexes, and the kind of spontaneous improvisation that will make him a challenge for any opponent. He's proven he can handle experienced competition with his victories over Stephan Bonnar and Jake O'brien, and should continue to learn and grow in the sport. Been a fan of Matt Hamill since TUF, as I enjoy the tough wrestling approach. With his last two victories coming by knockout, and the last a convincing headkick stoppage, he's added a standing striking element to his repertoire, making him more of an all around threat. Matt is known for brutal full body strength, giving him the kind of power that makes it tough to manipulate him on the ground, and with improved stand-up, he brings a complete package to the cage. I'd have to give Jones a slight edge here, but this should be a great fight, and a tough night for both of these guys. Joe Silva knocked this one out of the park…
