Blaydes is a pretty rough fight for Jon.....

[ChimRichalds]

No, you're not wrong TS. Blaydes might be an even more difficult task than Ngannou. Jones has no power, I think it would be extremely hard for Jones to keep him off of him. He would really have to work Curtis' eyes to get his respect.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Am I the only one that thinks this? You think Blaydes is standing with him for any significant amount of time? I'd say no. Surprised this is the fight they are gonna do if Francis is out

Gonna try to put Jones on his back the whole time and Jon might get tired quicker with the extra weight on him. And Blaydes has pretty good GNP

Not a super easy fight for him imo and it's not like Jon is Joe Louis in terms of power to change the fight with one shot.

We shall see I guess. Maybe I am wrong

Do you love watching Blades or Jones?

Do you even make posts about Blades if it isn't about Jones?
No one like to watch bullshit humping

Jones is washed up and can't use steroids. A lot of guys are tough match ups for him at this stage of his career. If he's smart he will stay retired.

Can't use steroids? But surely he can still pulse. Right?
Just a few pictograms here and there...

The ole keys to victory: picto pulsing and constant eye scratching

Jon hasn’t fought in a long time and Curtis has looked pretty good lately. Curtis will probably push 280 on fight night too, with wrestling and size.

Not much of a name for JBJ to come back on and a lot of risk

Some of you have me shaking my head. You really think that Blaydes would have an advantage in wrestling, against the guy that sonned DC? lol no. Don’t let hatred blind you. Jones would maul Blaydes on the ground. Curtis’ best chance is on the feet, Curtis has the power and reach to give Jones problems, especially if it’s jon’s first fight at hw. He ain’t outwrestling Jones though.

Blaydes is a terrible match up for a pillow fisted Jon.

Yea Jones out wrestling DC 9 years ago at LHW definitely matters now in 2023.

tbh blaydes sucks.

im not saying jon would beat him but he is just not that good.

That's a godawful take, Dildos.

You don't belong on this forum casual go watch street beefs then dork

If Jon can son Cormier, he can beat Blaydes. I don’t remember him struggling with wrestlers

Size is a factor, not just skill. This is why he struggled against Gus the first time around. Same reason he struggled against Dom Cruz.

 

[dmwalking]

I'd say that at least 6/10 of the to 10 UFC HW's can beat washed Jones.

 

[Rank Squatter]

Jones definitely isn't ko'ing Blaydes

Should be easy to implement his plan imo without the fear of KO

 

[Pilo]

Blaydes is a tough fight for anyone on the UFC roster. The last real wrestler at HW, and he's absolutely gigantic and has very good cardio for a man of his size.

I remember him struggling to take down non-wrestlers. Jones hasn't successfully used his wrestling since 2018.

And wrestling isn't the only problem that Blaydes poses to Jones.

The guy weighs in near the HW limit, in shape. On the photo that Jones posted saying he weighs 255, he looked like he just finished a pie eating contest.

Blaydes has fought and beat a who's-who list of top HWs. Jon Jones has zero fights at HW.

Jones barely stands a chance against Blaydes.

 

[Zaar]

I don't believe Jones will fight anymore, let alone in HW.
Still, as with everything in life, I leave 0.1% for it to happen, np.
Besides, I would lie if I said I wouldn't watch....but I'm veeeery sceptical, to say the least.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

I think Blaydes beats Jones everywhere. Jones doesn't have the KO power to hurt Blaydes.

Reem had TDD but got taken down and will and mauled. He couldn't do anything with him.

Also, no one has really tried to wrestle Jones. Even DC just stood and traded with him and only went for a takedown once just as a moral victory (and got it). I think Blaydes puts him on his back and makes it look easy.

 

[TJ177]

Blaydes is a fairly athletic heavyweight with decent hands and largely wins on his ability to outwrestle more 1 dimensional heavyweights. He's not a better wrestler than Jones nor is he more athletic. He's the definition of gatekeeper.

Anyone can win at HW but Blaydes only wins due to Jones being super rusty.

 

[GolovKing]

We're still acting like blaydes can be a great fighter huh?

 

[capnlarge]

Jon is semi-retired. Any fight will be a tough one IMO
