Adesanya comments on Jones....

He should focus on Robert Whittaker.
 
That's some hateful verbiage ! This guy is growing on me
 
Lol, he's the Jon Jones of the MW division. Tall, lanky, with a reach advantage over his opponents. If you're going to talk shit, then move up to LHW and challenge him.
 
Might as well talk while he still can....


In a year he'll be totally out of the picture imo

It’s two totally different skill sets. Jon has great striking, and has a kicking, long teaching style. However, all together it’s very unorthodox and involves a lot of Muay Thai. Opponents who can’t deal with the striking try to grapple, and are faced with his high level grappling both in the clinch and on the ground, where he utilizes a lot of strikes that cut and demoralize his opponents.

Adesanya is a kickboxer. He moves in and out quickly, and has the ability to counter punch, both due to his ability to anticipate, and take a shot on the chin. He can move quickly, and has good power. His grappling at this time is only used defensively, but is used effectively to achieve a sprawl and brawl style.

Adesanya has 1 level to his game right now he’ll need more then that to challenge jones

If it stays (which it won't) Israel would destroy Jones. However Jones would take him down with no problem and finish him there..

So jones can outstrike Gus, but would get destroyed by Adesanya? Cmon man. Izzy is a kickboxer that would be at a huge reach disadvantage

One is a long time champion, undefeated and cleared the division for 2 generation in the last 10 years.

The other is what? Struggled against a fat WW? Oh, the audicity to compare Adesanya to Jones.

Exactly. He is a kickboxer. Very goid kickboxer. Jon won a questionable decision over Santos with broken foot. If not for his horrible eye pokes, he would have lose the fight with Glover. Israel is on another level when it comes to striking. Jon will not risk the stand up game with him. He can take him down and win there for sure.
 
We'll see but first, he needs to beat Rob to at least thinking in Jones and AFAIK Jones has a higher reach than him.
