DDP says Jon Jones doesn't need to prove anything else

[Stagliano]

Jones was beating old fighters out of their prime when he was young. Let him be in that position now and see if he can handle younger talent.

Lol they were in their late 20's or early 30's.

What were their ages?

Ryan Badder was undefeated and 27 years old... Young

Shogun was 29.... Yeah, soooo old.

Lyoto Machida was 33.... Again, not out of his prime. It's not like Jiri Prochazka is out of his prime, for example.

Rashad Evans was 33. Again, not old. 33 < 37 < 42

Vitor Belfort — 35. Again, not old considering it's right there in the middle of already losing the athleticism, but not bad yet... Still very close to prime, plus Vitor was in full TRT there...

Chael Sonnen — 36 ... Not young but not old... If Jon Jones at 38 still is not considered old, then no one in the list is old at all...

Alexander Gustaffson — 26 same age as JJ

Glover Teixeira — 34 . Young, conserving he still was in very good performance in his 40s. And that was a 17 wins streak Glover.....

Daniel Cormier — 35 ... Not old either, specially since he was the HW champion, having defeated Stipe, when he was 40 years old. So 35 is a hugely good shape DC.

OSP — younger than JJ

DC 2 — 38 .... More or less old, the sam age as JJ now. The oldest one JJ faces so far was 38 yo DC, while he was as old as Aspinall is now. Problem is, DC had lost the first match and he wanted this match badly, he wanted to be the one to beat up Jon Jones, he felt terrible after his first ever defeat 3 years ago when he was like Khabib, hadn't even lost a round.

Alexander Gustaffson II — same age as JJ

Anthony Smith — younger than JJ

Thiago Santos — 35 (not old either... JJ was 32)

Dominick Reyes — younger than Jon Jones

Cyril Gane — younger than JJ and younger than Reyes, as well...

Miocic — 42




So you were proven wrong. JJ faced no old washed up champions, unless early 30s is old. The oldest gap was vs DC, and still, in the first fight DC was 35... In the second, DC was 38. And the circumstances are different... DC wanted the rematch.

Jon Jones has fought 5 opponents younger than him, one as old and the other ones were older but no one was even near their 40s, the oldest one was DC II ... JJ defeated all kind of opponents. If you notice, many younger prospects tried fighting Alexander Gustaffson, DC, Glover, Lyoto... Younger prospects than JJ have tried many times... Still, the fact the division was dominated by the first era who was ~ early 30s mean they were the best ones, and not old. Second generation had DC fighting JJ as 35 and 38. Not old. 38 might be but DC wanted the second match badly. And so did JJ. DC later was competitive until 42 yo... So the fact he was 38 meant nothing as I'm "oh there wasn't an younger opponent". The ok, give one younger opponent right then that would be in LHW and be more of a threat than DC?



So, just so I can know that it's worth my time, do you accept that you were wrong? If not, then you just want to keep a viewpoint no matter how nonsensical it is.

You mean:

29 wins 0 losses
2 division champion
Broke the record of title defenses in all categories

No fighter has a better record than 29-0. No fighter is more than a 2 division champion. No fighter defended more than him. Speaking currently ofc.

So.... Any crying about these facts that you feel like doing?

Dude...what? Im saying he has nothing to prove.

 

[Bob Gray]

Yea it is pretty solid tbh failing 5 tests 3 separate times and still not thrown out of the goat conversations is a pretty solid resume

Have fun with this opinion that matters to no one else except a bunch of cry babies on a karate forum.

 

[fica]

do you have a brain bruh?
do you even realize that what your saying is imposible?

lol then tommorow he should say tom aspinal is hw cham i a done not over here wait for my big anouncment but it is never i will defend title i am holding as long as a can with out fighting contenders

anybody who watched jj vs gus knws he lost 1 fight then getting positive for peds after fight would be another loss in boxing and so on but not in ufc and soo on

 

[Chayanne]

that's true, but then you have to retire and hand over the title.

 

[AmonTobin]

Zebra meat confirmed.
No but seriously could you imagine if Dricus was a critic of Jon? Like if they were ever opponents? Dricus has a way of getting tears out of men, and I don't think it would take him long to break that thin skin.

 

[Elegant]

It's funny how when you ask the elite minds of the sport like DDP and not losers their thoughts on Jones, all you here are compliments and how great he is

Chances are your favorite fighter thinks Jon Jones is the GOAT of MMA, accept it

 

[snugglecakes]

well i for 1 am curious to see him prove that he can beat somebody he doesnt have a light year height, reach, & youth advantage over. Thus far he has not proven he can do that unless he has judges in his pocket.

If jon cares about his legacy so much, then he wouldn't wanna go out on a legacy of elder abuse

 

[MrBlackheart]

As long as a champ continues to hold the belt, he had to keep proving that he’s the best. That is the name of the game. If Jon Jones is wants to stop proving himself, he should vacate and retire.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Tommy Boy can wallow in obscurity and self-pity while Jon reigns

 

[Lee Danger]

he'll never prove how win without cheating.

 

[HHJ]

He's right. He doesnt.

But if Jones wants to parade around with that belt he has to defend it against real contenders or FUCK OFF.

This is obviously coping cos your boy wont fight him.

Tom didnt do anything wrong and you are shittin on him for no good reason, to protect a coward!

He's annoying and has an awful face, both of which are extremely valid reasons IMO. I don't care if Jon fights the former fat kid or not.

Annoying because he wants to fight your boy.

Scared. Cowardly here for Attachments!

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Annoying because of his fat guy energy

 

[HHJ]

Only here for COWARDICE.

If he wants to continue to hold the HW belt, he has to prove he’s the best in the division. That’s how titles work.

You don’t just get to hold a title because you were a great LHW. If he vacated it, I wouldn’t give a shit. I think ducking Tom hurt his legacy tbh. Him smashing Tom would mean more than any other fight in his career. No other GOAT’s did what he did at the end of his career.

Jones has beaten former champions and legends like DC, Machida, Shogun, Rampage, but Aspinall is the most important fight of his career? I guess that means Matt Mitrione was the most important fight in Fedor's career then, right? Or maybe it was Bigfoot Silva? Ridiculous.
