When Jon Jones streak will be finished?

What do you think about it? If Bones will beat Gus in 2nd fight and Cormier next? Who could in the future challenge him in LHW division. IMO he is on the road to 30 consecutive victories, which will make him undisputed GOAT.

Rumble is the new guy to beat Jones (after Gus and Cormier beat him). There will always be someone getting hyped up. If Jones is ever going to move up to HW, though, I think beating Gus and Cormier would be an ideal way to close out his 205 career.

I don't think Gus will get it done. He came up short the first time and Bones is smart and has great coaching and I think they will adapt and beat him more soundly this time (although still probably a decision victory).
Cormier I feel differently about, I think he could beat Bones. Although its kind of hard to say, I would like to see him against a good lhw first but it doesn't look like that is going to happen.

If Cormier chances to win are more than 50 percent, how do you think?

Cormier has the best chance, probably followed by Rumble.
I don't see anybody being favored over Jones at LHW, so while he's bound to lose eventually, there's no way to pinpoint when it will happen.

30 straight wins is going to be really tough (even if you throw out his loss when Hamill's face TKOed his elbow), though theoretically he has the youth to do it.
Besides, he's going to lose in June 2016 at UFC 200 in New York City to Robert Drysdale.

Has there been an update on Drysdale? I wonder how much the trt ban will affect him.

Hell, I can make 205. I'd own Jon Jones. He's a pretender to my thrown lol

I thought he had a heart defect and was being kept out of the cage?

I don't want to derail this thread (we can take it to not threadworthy if necessary), but I think he did but was eventually cleared. Got signed by the ufc but prior to his debut he got busted for trt? I could be wrong.

I get this point of view, and you're probably right. It's just that besides Rumble and Cormier, who is left?
Not impressed with his performance against Davis though?

I may be in the minority, but I think Jones get past Gus, Cormier, and Rumble.

Minority? Bones will be a big favorite over all 3.

My take right now:
Jones - Gus - clear unanonimous desicion Jones
Jones - Cormier - creal unanonimous desicion Jones
Jones - Rumble - submission Jones

He's due for a SD... I think his first real loss will be a close SD. Either Cormier or Gus. I don't see anyone else with the tools to beat him on the horizon.

The only fighter that i see beating Jones is Cain at HW.

He will probably manhandle Gus in their second fight. Cormier is his biggest threat at the moment but even that is unlikely IMO. Jones will have to get cracked at HW when he makes the eventual move.
