Why are you even arguing with him, just ignore him.

I am a big AO fan but...
at their current weights yes, but jones would put on weight to fight overeem. he has two brother's who are pro and d1 defensive tackles. they weigh 313 and 265. I think jones could easily put on 30 pounds of muscle to fight overeem not to mention the weight he cuts already. The reem is still a physical specimen but jones could hang with him at that weight. A+ striking plus A+ wrestling beats A++ striking and C- wrestling in my book not to mention that even at that weight jon jones's gas tank>>>>>>overeem.
jon jones loses a lot of his height reach and strength advantage he has at 205 but he is still just so much faster fitter and better wrestler."
Just look at this post, he assumes Jones would put 30 pounds and still be faster then the current heavyweights, and one of his reasons is he's got brothers who are pro athlete's so everything Jones would do in terms of gaining/dropping weight, he'll manage it without problems since he's got 2 pro brother athlete's...
He's doing MMA math comparing their striking like that and size. Jones against Reem or even Brock would get destroyed at this time, I'm not saying in some years when he's build into his frame accordingly and gotten a lot bigger that he's not going to be able to beat them, but in the present time, no. The reason he can takedown pretty much anyone he wants in the division is due to his huge body and the momentum he posses that he uses well along with expert technique. He wouldn't have the first advantages when it comes to the heavy weight division. Also remember that he tried taking down Rampage several times before succeding.
It's like saying GSP would beat Anderson Silva, which he wouldn't due to the sheer size advantage.
