Jon Jones hasn\u2019t moved up. He hasn\u2019t done anything about \u2026 he hasn\u2019t talked about moving up, and he hasn\u2019t wanted to move up for a decade. Israel approaches the sport very differently to Jon Jones. Israel is a real advocate for supreme martial arts, being extremely good to the point where size and weight doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe believes in that concept. He believes in that theory. He believes that, at the end of the day when all the chips fall, it will be skills that will win over size and strength, something that Jon Jones, he doesn\u2019t have that inside of himself, which is why he\u2019s waited so long to move up. But Israel\u2019s a different case. He wants to go and test out his skills against a much bigger human being because he believes in them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Where do you stand on this one?
