[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

looks like guram

 

[octagonation]

looks like guram

Very much

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

They did a catch weight ?

was it at 180? Smith was a middleweight at the time IIRC so it wasn't 2 welterweights fighting

 

[Necrocrawler]

he got into a gang conflict and was accused of stabbing someone in the chest I think

That was after
He allegedly retired because he was tired of cutting weight

 

[Necrocrawler]

Smith used to fight at mw
I checked tapology and it was a catchweight bout of 188
He weighed 184 so I guess smith missed the weight limit

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

should have moved up to middleweight like the current borz did

Now I can't unsee it.

that guy had one of the most casual displays of insane power i ever seen in the octagon. the sound his arm punches were making when he was hitting TJ Waldburger sounded like a bat hitting a slab of meat and the effect it had was crazy. he was literally lifting him off the ground with the punches.

timestamped, the video is like 5 fps but it's the sound that and the effect it has on TJ that is insane.

This guy was the original wolf, before Chimaev came. Jon Jones often spars in the Chechen gyms, which is heavily restricted in allowing fighters to got there and also, they train there, allegedly, other techniques that are not allowed in MMA and are more like intended to totally take one's life as soon as possible. Jon Jones had said in the Joe Rogan podcast that he was knocked down in sparring. He then said the one who did that, was that fighter, who had an unbeatable record in UFC. Jon Jones said the kick was so perfectly placed and strong that he couldn't even breath initially, that it took him more than 30 seconds to be able to breathe again. This Chechen fighter stated later on that ppl asked him about that and that he wouldn't want to talk about that because he said things that happen in sparring are just that, sparring, but he didn't understand why JJ brought that up, and then he confirmed it happened... And said he and JJ train together for a long time already and JJ according to him is a nice dude, though he sometimes overblows things a little...

The owner of the Chechen gym said that he heard the sound of a man screaming really loud and thought "fuck, did some disagreement happen? It seems someone was stabbed..." ... And then he found JJ had been kicked in the liver region with a perfect placed spinning back kick and was on his knees in pain on the floor... The spinning back kick which was this fighters main weapon, and which would be used to KO many fighters, like Anthony Smith, just a devastating blow that when hit, even if not where intended, would get the fighters in their knees. The owner of the gym said it was funny because JJ got up and he looked different, JJ was real mad and started doing heavy sparring, trying pay back by landing a hard one on this fighter... And then Jon Jones would spar the next guy after he was done with it, and would carry the same aggressive and fight for real... and then the owner said he'd go sparring everyone there, who are all seasoned fighters, really hard and ppl were enjoying it because they like violent, less restricted sparring... Tho he also said in that interview that once a certain sparring partner time finished and the next one would need to stop up to spar Jon Jones, they'd be all looking at each other, like "it's your turn now" haha.

Jones also couldn't handle econo Reem and got injured.

AA also bullied him which is why he actually have Tom props for beating him

Not true. Jon Jones has a wrestling partner from Dagestan who said when sparring heavyweights, when turning the heat up, Jon Jones would dominate. This Dagestan who has been with Jon Jones for a while to spar wrestling grappling (he's a HW himself, I think 255lbs) would also help training Jon Jones in fighting while grappling, like, clinching and at the same time doing striking heavy damage without taking the opponent to the floor. This sparring partner said that a month before the Miocic fight they had gotten into a deal to call some good UFC heavy weight fighters to spar with Jones, one of them who is within the top 4 rank in the HW (he said he wouldn't reveal, but it was strongly suggested to be Volkov) and that JJ appeared at the gym a little later than they expected and was noticeably a little drunk, and that when they went to hard sparring, they'd be no match for Jon Jones at all, that Jon Jones would dominate even with striking but once grappling was allowed, it would not even be a contest and JJ would, he said, pretty much do whatever he wanted to them...

[Poirierfan]

This guy?

That's a villain.

 

[VinceArch]

That's a villain.

Maybe an anti hero.
Here's a real villain.

True dat.

Hero in villain clothing.
Villain in sheep's clothing.

I remember when he retired someone close to him was quoted as saying it was to live "a quite, religious and family centered" life or something to that effect.

Then he goes on to stab people in some mafioso showdown.

Should have just kept fighting professionally.

You talking about Condit?

 

[TR1]

You talking about Condit?

Sorry, should have made it clear- referring to Amagov.

 

[Brigfa2]

Jones is so great, people trying to cope by talking about him getting knocked down in sparring.
I wonder how much DC paid Carlos to talk about this
