Media Demetrious Johnson:If I was Jon Jones size, I would probably f--- him up

Lol MM was getting taken down by Tim Elliot.

Jones has manhandled legit grapplers like Ryan Bader and DC. LHW sized MM would be badly mauled by Jones 10 times out of 10
 
If he would be Jon Jones' size, he couldn't be running around, transitioning like that and have the same output. You carry more weight, you become slower, fatigued more quickly and you are generally less versatile in your movements. There is a reason bigger guys move slower, look less technical and are often more careful to take shots as each could KO you etc. The dynamics of fighting changes with the size.
 
Not sure why people are talking shit on him for this, it’s the old P4P debate. If size wasn’t an issue who’s the better and more dominate fighter between the two? You could make a case either way, although I think Jones has a better resume.

This is a key oversight of many P4P analyses, which is why they overly favor lighter weights. MM who was Jon Jones size would be a lot slower, gas a lot more quickly, and wouldn't transition and change levels lightning fast all fight.

Props to MM. Great fighter. But no, Jones would beat him imo.

If Jon Jones were MM size, he wouldn’t be in the minor leagues...

Theres no way Jones wouldn't have left for the Asian startup money. Its not like he ever got offered because there's no way he'd be allowed in any Asian country. He couldn't stay out of legal trouble there either. You'd ditch MLB for a Japanese league if they offered you 10x your previous contract. Especially with how Jones has been bitching about money recently.

Went from wanting Francis to trying to fight someone a weight class under. Jon is playing go fish on a chess board.
