Fighters that are as skilled as Jon Jones today?

[CodeBreaker]

Can you name guys that are almost as skilled as Jon Jones?

Someone who are so great in striking or stand up fight,
and almost as deadly when taking down opponents for the ground game/grappling?

 

[Frozen Sea]

Tony Ferguson

There are many fighters more skilled than him in the UFC.

Not many fighters have the fight-IQ that he has.

 

[Reaperman]

On or off the juice? I don't really know how Jones would look coming into a fight clean, so it's hard to say....

Name some of those who are more skilled, but also has an above-average fight IQ

Mike Perry is better at every aspect of MMA.

Better at Dropping Bombs
Better at Mohawks
Better at Tattoos
Better at white chicks
Better at talking black


Mike Perry is everything Jon Jones ever wishes he could be

Max Holloway

I think he's known more for just his striking skill?

- Mighty Mouse

- Rockhold has a similar skill set to Jones, but lacks the chin.

- Garbrandt could become as well-rounded as Jones one day; he's already a better boxer.

You think Garbrandt's submission skills would become lethal?
He has already elite striking skill

Not many fighters have the fight-IQ that he has.

Not many people have the life IQ that he has, either.

 

[Croton]

Dillashaw(better hands, worse kick, similar grappling)
Usman(Better hands, worse kicks, similar grappling)
Rockhold(Worse striking and wrestling, better kicks and top game)

 

[DarkneT]

Holloway is a boss

I'd add Holloway to that list

He's a great boxer/striker, and that's it right?

 

[crlkllr]

I'd say Johnson is more skilled, that's about it.

Fantastic ground game as well. One of the most well rounded fighters
