As impressive as that was by Jones, I rate GSP higher because he belonged to that legends generation and then beat the next two generations after that. I felt like of the four above for Jones ^, only Machida had much of a prime left after their fight. And then Jones really struggled with the generation after his (post-DC and Gus).
