There's a reason why certain strikes are not allowed in MMA; it's not cos "they're not effective".

This is as daft as it was first time i saw it. Tyson has no take down defense. Then add the fact that him attempting to close the distance against a decent wrestler or guy with decent double leg would mean he would be off balance and not even in a good position to sprawl in the first place. More likely than not he gets put on his ass and ground and pounded or submitted. Heck against a guy like tyson, whose only weapons are his hands, his opponent could afford to go for a really low shot and still have high odds of getting him down.
Having ko power does not translate into victory in a fight

JJ would shoot for a takedown and I'd knee his face off.
Well, you're Mindset though. Not a fair fight to Jones.

That statement is correct in and of itself. If you're hinting at something else, you'll have to clarify. I don't want to assume you're saying something you're not.

Sounds more like what a broad skilled fighter would do than a boxer. JJ doesn't have to drop levels to attempt a takedown. Even if they do then they can close the distance before you can even react by setting it up with feints, timing, and footwork. But, if they want to act like a dumbass about it and telegraph every detail of their takedown, then you'll have all the openings you need to put them to sleep.

I have to use my knees because I'm not as skilled as a boxer. The greatest fighters on Earth.

One of the most, if not the most overrated current MMA fighter.

You gotta be kidding.
Before his injury, he rocked perhaps the most stacked weight class of the UFC. He dominated it.
If you want to look at an overrated legend, look no further that Anderson Silva. But GSP, man, before Jack Shield, he hadn't loose a round in his 30 last, and it can be argued that he won all five against Shield too. He's tha bomb.

To say that GSP is anywhere outside the top 3 p4p best fighters on the planet is hating.

What would be, IYO, the most stacked weight class?
IMO, it's WW, with Light Weight and Light Heavyweight at second and third place.

Not in the UFC, so those fights aren't real.
