Who would you rather have Prime Fedor fight - Prime Jon Jones at LHW or Jon Jones at HW?

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

As for now, I'd say the harder fight is LHW Prime Jones, he was a monster there and by the time the fight started he weighed 225 lbs. The guy was a very unique combatant and he did a lot of unusual mixed up of techniques ie. Strikes, Grappling, Wrestling. Hard to predict what Jones will do at LHW.

The HW Jones, there isn't much to see at all of him. So he's quite an unknown in that weight class. We still need to see more to really gauge what he is capable to do that weight.

meh Fedor weighed probably less than Jon after his 205 post rehydration

Would have loved to seen a quick rematch with these two.

is this drug tested fight or non drug tested fight?

because fedor did look great in a non drug tested org
but failed to show his greatness in a drug tested org in strikeforce

jones both proved he can compete in USADA era and pre USADA era

gotta go with the proven legit one

 

[BowserJr]

Doesn't matter. The only thing Fedor would have to figure out is oblique kicks and Fedor was great at making adjustments.

Way faster, way stronger, better footwork, more complete, better all around grappling.

Fedor likely wins a back n forth fight by decision

is this low mileage fedor fight or high mileage fight?

because fedor did look great before being shop worn
but failed to show his greatness when past his prime

jones both proved he can compete well against old past prime greats

Fixed

The weight class is irrelevant.

Picto gets cold feet, cancels the event, and fails every test anyways.

GOAT.

Fedor would never fight at 205. Why would the baddest motherfucker in the world need to cut weight?

Do you even Fedor?

Ironically, Jones was the one caught cheating. Pulsing Jones barely "beat" Reyes and Santos.

either one would have been a hell of a lot of fun.

Let them fight open weight. Fedor only weighed 233 lbs at his prime. A rehydrated Jon Jones walks around 225-230 at his prime. So let them fight at their comfortable weight.

Prime Fedor would destroy any version of Jon Jones.

 

[AndrewGolota48]

I would rather see him fight current HW Jones because that's a much more competitive fight. Prime PED Jones was incredibly physically dominant with his wrestling and top game.

 

[TommyBikes]

Fedor was a heavyweight, so heavyweight. Open weight would work too as @MXZT noted

At least Jones never "beat" Maldonaldo in an event where he was president of the refs and judges overseeing it.

Nor did Jones ever then use his presidential powers to deny the World MMA Association's decision to overturn that "win" into a draw and instead leave it as a win.

Just look what Gus and Reyes did to Jones at LHW and imagine what prime Fedor would.

Fedor was 40 years old and 16 years into his career when he fought Maldonado. Keep grasping for straws low level poster.

I'd rather see prime Fedor fight LHW Jones because LHW Jones was at his peak and was still a HW on fight night at 6'4 with 85 inch reach. Hard to believe Jones ducked HW so hard with such a frame.

 

[OLD RED]

Just look what Gus and Reyes did to Jones at LHW and imagine what prime Fedor would.

The fanboys on this forum think Gus and Reyes were better than peak Fedor.
