Jones:

3 years inactive
Closer to 40 than 30
Been hugely successful, maybe not as hungry
Many of his opponents were easily discouraged
4/6 favourite, ATG, "undefeated" = more pressure
HW debut, has to bulk up (will his body adjust well?)
Career 205 pounder, made a career bullying midgets
DQ'd against Hamill, DQ-worthy offence against Smith
Every fighter/coach/ref has been watching him for ages
Failed to stop his last 3 opponents, no finish/KD since 2018
Lots of wear; pro debut in 2008, 15 title fights with 8 decisions
History of problems with the law, including in the last few years
History of problems with alcohol, sex and drugs, including in the last few years

Jones' last two performances have been close decisions (Santos, Reyes) and 6'4 strikers have given him his toughest and most competitive fights (Gustafsson 1, Reyes).

Gane is an active, prime, determined, disciplined, athletic, 247 lbs natural heavyweight, 6'4 with an 81 inch reach and is possibly the most skilled striker Jones will ever face, with experience in a very close 5 round distance fight in his championship debut against a much more dangerous opponent in Ngannou (who Jones probably wouldn’t ever fight).

"But wrestling"

Ngannou (who also took Stipe down) was able to take Gane down primarily because of his size and strength advantages and because Gane had to worry first and foremost about Ngannou's power, factors that won't be present at all against Jones. Gane will have also improved his wrestling in the 14 month gap. Jones scored just 2 TD's in 10 attempts with 101 seconds of control in 50 minutes against former welterweight Santos and greenhorn Reyes, men who are easier to grapple against than Gane and who’ve gone 1-7 post-Jones.

gane will win a narrow boring decision if we even get to the fight. jones will probably get pulled for popping or some scumbag shit per usual.
 
There are plenty of questions as to where Jon Jones is at this point in his career and that’s why I have Gane as a slight favorite. Too many questions to feel confident in picking him, however love or hate him he’s one of the best to do it and we don’t know if those questions we have will necessarily be factors at all. This fight is awfully intriguing.
 
As much as i want Gane to kick Jones head, clean off, i just don´t see it.
 
Yeah sure Gane became a TDD master in less than a year. Gane couldn't stop Ngannou who walked into the cage and fought with 2 blown out damaged knees he's not going to stop JJ from taking him down a smashing him.

How do you figure santos and reyes are much easier to grapple than Gane? Sounds silly. Why? Cuz Gane is bigger? Jones will be too. It’s all relative when it comes to size and strength against the divisions
 
Let's hope so. Jones is still dangerous though. He's the best at using dirty tactics.

Gane is going to demolish him in brutal fashion. I’m stunned at how delusional people are about Jones in 2023. It’s going to absolutely hilarious to see.

Jones isn't going to gain as much strength as you think, he's not as naturally big as Gane. He's also never fought at anywhere near 235-245 lbs before, it's an open question how well his body will adjust.
