"Bones" Jones Picks GSP Over Alves
 Jon Jones, who faces Jake O'Brien at historic UFC 100 on July 11th, makes no "Bones" about who he's picking in Georges St. Pierre's third welterweight title defense against Thiago Alves.
"I'm so excited about GSP," Jones told MMAWeekly Radio Tuesday. "I admire his work ethic and his championship mindset, and I can't wait to see him pick apart and destroy Alves."
Jones says he tried to carry that championship mindset into his own training for O'Brien.
"I really try to look at what these guys are doing and what's working for them and try to be the next one of those guys."
The 22 year-old says fighting on the such a huge card will be almost as big a reward as the check he gets at the end of the night. Almost.
"I'm a big groupie of a lot of the bigger name fighters, still," he said. "I'm really excited that I get to be backstage with these guys, the same locker room as these guys, and I can't wait till my fight is over, and I can sit in the audience. Hopefully I'll have good tickets."Labels: GSP, Jon Jones, UFC 100

Bones...ur one stupid guy!!! someone tell bones to shut his mouth. perhaps Alves will once he destroys st pierre and takes the belt to coco creek FLORIDA.
Really are you that far up Alves ass that you cannot see that it's going to be a good fight with GSP winning becasue he trains like an animal for everyone he fights
Lol, I hope some ATT Alves partner (eg:Thiago Silva) rape his ass soon, to shut his dirty mouth
St Pierre has said it more than once that thiago is his biggest challenge to date. so all this destroying talk is for sure not coming outta his mouth, hes got is hands full and so will thiago when he hangs that UFC belt on the wall of ATT!
If anyone thinks Alves is going to walk through GSP, you're an idiot. Going to be an epic fight.
whats up with jon jones. 1 win in the UFC and he talks like joe rogan, cotoure.
first about Machida like he is Anderson Silva. Second about Evans like he is girl.
now about Alves.
I think this guy is on coke.
Gsp says everyone is his biggest challenge ever, don't read to muc into that. haha
Jon Jones followed this up by saying he was going to be the one to beat Machida.
The dude is getting a little ahead of himself.
alves is a bbj black belt ( or still a purple witch was months ago) a mhui tye striker since he was 10? a real good wrestler and strong as a heavyweight(besides carwin,lesner,mir,gonzaga,u see where im comming from) hes not to be taken lightly at all st pierre is an awsome fighter the best at the moment but if alves comes in at 100 and georges dosent new champ laugh at me mock me but all champs have good to great runs and georges could be comming to an end i see it happening
