But unlike some of the heavyweight prospects who rose up the ranks fairly quickly, Jones was receiving a different booking treatment for UFC.<\/p>\n<p>Publicly under the notion that Jones could develop into a legitimately dominant MMA all-star, UFC has refrained from immediately throwing Jones into the mix with Light Heavyweight title contenders, instead pairing him with threatening, non-elite fighters capable of putting his skills to the test.  Earlier this year, Jones overcame a tough test in the form of Brandon Vera.  Sunday&#8217;s card placed veteran Vladimir Matyushenko on the opposing side of the Octagon.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float:left;margin-right:5px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/view.picapp.com\/pictures.photo\/sports\/ufc-100-jake-brien-jon\/image\/5353509?term=jon+jones+ufc\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/view1.picapp.com\/pictures.photo\/image\/5353509\/ufc-100-jake-brien-jon\/ufc-100-jake-brien-jon.jpg?size=234&#038;imageId=5353509\" border=\"0\" width=\"234\" title=\"UFC 100 - Jake O'Brien v Jon Jones\" height=\"156\" oncontextmenu=\"return false;\" ondrag=\"return false;\" onmousedown=\"return false;\" alt=\"LAS VEGAS - JULY 11:  (R-L) Jon Jones connects with a right punch on Jake O'Brein during their light heavyweight bout during UFC 100 on July 11, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
