Curtis Blaydes has an analysis of Jon Jones' move to Heavyweight-and a warning

If he wins this weekend, he should be Jon's introductory fight at HW. Make it a #1 contender fight and the co-main on the Ngannou-Stipe 2 card.

People have tried to pin Lewis with much more than a fucking knee, and he just gets up. Then again, that's probably because he's been a god damn tank for most of his life. Mass moves mass as the saying goes.
 
blaydes unlike khabib or usman just lays in top of his oppents like a walrus he s like the most boring figther ever fuck him
 
Curtis Blaydes be like "Hope you ready to get cozy cuz the blanket is about o keep you warm all night!"
 
Still waiting for Jones to stop sucking water weight and fight at heavyweight.

He first said he would do it 8 years ago lol
 
If chubby DC can hang and be champ at HW, what makes ppl think Jones can't? Jones wins at HW simply for having better cardio and higher fight IQ

Ngannou is his worst matchup. Imagine replacing Reyes or Santos with Ngannou. He won't stay on the outside and play the leg kick game. He'll come for blood and Jones will try and outpoint him but the power differential is far too vast for that strategy.

I completely disagree. Ngannou has scary power. But I think Jones beats him or Lewis with ease. JBJ has fought a lot of guys with one-punch KO power (Cormier, Texeira, etc.) and has never really looked to be in dangers. And, heavy weights like Lewis and Ngannou are even slower and less accurate. Further, Jones has faaaaaaaaaaaaaar more reach, speed, skill, and grappling ability than Ngannou or Lewis. He would just ride those guys to an easy UD or late finish (partially due to those big, slow HWs gassing out).

Rothwell is, Lewis isn't.

Yeah like there is such a massive gap between both.... A Lewis vs Rothwell fight would actually be pretty evenly matched.

Actually Latifi would have more trouble facing Ben most likely because is a better grappler

Anyways a "journeyman" doesn't have wins over the likes of Overeem and Barnett and holds a top10 rank.

Gus has always been overrated. Glover was his only top win.

Another assesment that no offense is textbook shertard.
Prime Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier would be the first ones to disagree with your simpleton statement, given that Gus has a legit case for the W against both. Tell them to look for the biggest name in his W column - like a shertard in the heavies - in order to asses Gustafson as a fighter lol.

Lewis has more top wins than Rothwell. Rothwell has 2 wins from 2013 and hasn't done anything significant in years. Just because Lewis isn't the most "technical" doesn't mean he isn't a good fighter. Regarding Gus, who cares if you "almost" beat someone, the point is, he didn't beat them and proceeded to lose against any decent he came up against with the exception of Glover. Rumble destroyed him in 1 round, Davis strangled him, and a shop worn Werdum subbed him in the first.

I didn't say Lewis isn't a good fighter. It was you who downplayed Rothwell. As if Lewis would be such a massive favourite over him. Probably a favourite, not by that much.
Against a grappling specialist as Latifi, actually Rothwell would have better odds than Lewis.
Actually Rothwell gave Junior a tougher fight than Lewis.
Definitely not a gap that makes one a legitimate tittle contender and the other one just a journeyman.

Anyways I don't expect a guy who considers that giving Jones and Cormier in their prime their toughest fights doesn't matter because isn't a W on paper...

Thats textbook shertard logic and I prefer to hear the take of Jones and Cormier on Gustaffson as a fighter, which completely differs from yours.

Jones annihilated Gus in the rematch with ease thus proving he really didn't take the first fight seriously at all. So what if they say he's the toughest fight they've had it still doesn't change Gus' resume. He obviously matched up well against both guys but was obliterated by every other top fighter he ever faced with the exception of Glover. You can't tell me a single top fighter he managed to beat aside from Glover. I don't want to hear about participation trophies.
