Is Adesanya the middleweight version of Jon Jones ?

[King Crab]

His striking seems pretty mediocre, repetitive combo uppercuts follow by a left or right cross, super methodical not taking chances, very good kicking games high to low zones..I mean on one hand he is the champion and it's the challengers job to win the fight but man I swear he follows Jons blueprints for his wins.

He was a glory kickboxing champ out boxed boxing champs

lollolololol @ mediocre striking

Please TS, indulge us who has great striking by comparison

 

[Lay N Pray 101]

No.

Jon Jones is Jon Jones and Israel Adesanya is Israel Adesanya.

Jones is better than Adesanya. Adesanya had his opportunity to challenge Jones for that title but opted not to, only to move up anyway making it obvious that he wanted no parts of Jones.

He wasn’t a champion in glory, he’s like 4-3 or 4-4 in glory. The majority of his career was in King of the Ring and Wu Lin Feng.

The Anderson comparison is more apt. They are both more technical strikers than Jon but struggle with grapplers and defensive strikers.

People forget Anderson had some boring fights as well

Lol completely different types of fighters but Jones would destroy him

Opposed to what we are actually seeing in the octogon. I am not saying his boxing is bad or mediocre by any means but he isnt a knockout artist by any stretch either.

No shit sherlock, obviously they are two different weight divisions apart. I am not asking who would win in a 1 v 1.

Well you must be dumb as hell if you think Jones is similar to Israel

Anderson uses kicks notably less than Jon in their own respective tookits. Jon is famous for dismantling his opponents with obliques, checks and all sorts of nasty heel strikes.

 

[Pitier of Fools]

Not hardly. I'm no fan of Jones at all, but a MW version of Jones wouldn't have gotten tooled by Jan B.

Also, Romero won their fight.

You are the ahole who commented on who would win a 1 v 1 you moron. Do you even think before you type. I never compared the two on a 1 vs 1 scroll up dipsht.

I said they are different types of fighters and then just added it for extra salt as a joke lol. Stop crying

I thought he was interim and then lost to Jason Wilnis

He lands some good combos which can get you in tricky spots but not recently

 

[Mangar]

Does Jones have gyno ?

 

[heelhookguy]

Jon Jones actually throws punches. Isreal threw like 8 punches total.

Please "mods" Could you at least pretend to have a job of some kind here, and start banning people that make threads like this?

 

[Robholland]

Yes, of course not!
