Anderson is the Pele of MMA and Jones is the Maradona

[Lyoto Jackson]

Anderson is the Barry Bonds of MMA and Jones is the Darryl Strawberry.

This makes more sense.

 

[countswagula]

Who? and Who?

Anderson Silva and Jon Jones, they're former UFC champions

 

[Hotei]

Fedor and Anderson are the Michael Jordans of NBA. Jones is the Dennis Rodman. Jones is also the Kareem Abdul Jabbar in the sense that his advantages are purely physical, ie freakishly long appendages that keep the opponent at bay mixed in with eye pokes and knee kicks.

You don't know a thing about Jabbar. You probably don't know a thing about basketball in general.
It's ok, just avoid make comparisons involving basketball players.

 

[Cygnus-X]

Ronda is the Wayne Rooney

 

[Bloodshedder24]

Gracie would be the Pele

 

[conorgoat]

JON JONES IS DENZEL WASHINGTON IN FLIGHT.

END OF DISCUSSION

I don't follow poverty sports.

What are you doing on a MMA forum, then?

 

[AndroidRage]

Maradona and Jon Jones are both cheating assholes.

Is that what you meant?

And Silva isn't?

 

[Jawbox01]

You don't know a thing about Jabbar. You probably don't know a thing about basketball in general.
It's ok, just avoid make comparisons involving basketball players.

Kareem would have been just as successful if he was 6 foot 4? Yeah you are a confirmed moron.

 

[rapha1985]

Agreed with the TS. Great analogy!

 

[acovarru]

Jones and maradona careers have a lot of similar tendencies. Specially in the coke department

 

[Hotei]

Kareem would have been just as successful if he was 6 foot 4? Yeah you are a confirmed moron.

This argument makes no sense. What if Muggsy Bogues was 7 feet? He's the GOAT!

You said that Jabbar's advantages were purely physical while he was a very skilled center. You know nothing about basketball, stick to mma.

 

[Inter]

Don't compare the two greatest athletes of all time to some MMA scrubs who fight in a cage for a living.

 

[Rockman14]

Don't compare the two greatest athletes of all time to some MMA scrubs who fight in a cage for a living.

Dont compare 2 badass men who could beat almost anyones ass on this earth to guys who kick balls on a feild for a living?

Ok brah.

 

[bettergenes]

Jon Jones is Lance Armstrong of MMA
Anderson Silva is more like Ronaldinho. Technical, with laser precision.

 

[Summoning]

Jones...

/wasteland

 

[Kelman]

Both considered GOATS and Anderson hailed a hero/legend, Jones is considered by some as the best ever but keeps screwing up with drugs like Maradona and is also cocky like him, like Maradona could have probably been the undisputed GOAT but wastes time and money on drugs.

So what does that make Junie Browning?

 

[delbosque]

Jones is the Mozart of MMA. DC is Salieri.

 

[AznTrojan]

 

[Ninjarobby]

Maradona is only considered the goat by argentinians, no one else

Pretty sure fifa acclaimed him to be the goat.
