Did Jon Jones escape Jan Blachowitz's reign?

Santos won that fight, homie

All 3 judges gave Santos round 1

1 judge also gave Santos 2 and 4
1 judge also gave Santos 4
1 judge also gave Santos round 5

So it wasn't '1 drunk judge'
They couldn't agree on what rounds to give him, so he won 1 2 4 and 5 on at least 1 scorecard, that's how close the rounds were

Santos won round 1 and got injured in round 2. All 3 need to be retrained.
 
jon would have easily been the favorite and won a comfortable decision for many reasons: reach, better wrestling, TDD, better cardio, granite chin thats never been cracked... Jon could never make MW like Jan could, his frame is too big. he'd make Jan look slow and uncoordinated.
 
No. This is Bisping and Anderson Silva situation in the 2011s all over again. In Silva's prime Bisping wasn't even good enough to make it to a titleshot and wouldn't have stood a chance. Same thing with Jan and Jones, except Jones would still beat Jan now.

It will probably be a close fight. Jon fights to his opponent's level. If you aren't dangerous to his mind. He is off to the strip club and not training.
 
Probably my biggest pet peeve is when people pronounce the "wicz" at the end of Polish names as "witz" instead of "vich." Especially when it's their own last name. I could understand "wikz" even. But I have no idea where the t comes from.
 
Jon would be able to handle Jan, don't forget that Jan barely squeeked by MW Jacare relatively recently.

After pretty much losing to a guy with destroyed knees, and an IT consultant, Jon realized his time was running out. He figured that he could eyepoke and oblique kick ancient Stipe to a decision as his retirement fight. Especially after the ten thousand strikes to the head Stipe absorbed against DC. After Ngannou beat Stipe Jon said fuck that and is biding his time for a HW champ he thinks he can beat. He doesn't want to fight Gane either, since he would turn his chicken legs into mush.
 
jones almost lost vs santos and then almost lost vs reyes, he made a 2 years break and will comeback soon vs some top lhw or even the champ
but never would fight any hw, he's not stupid
 
Jon has been declining and was on his way to a loss. His last 3 fights:

- decisioned Anthony Smith
- split decisioned a one-legged Thiago Santos
- unofficially lost to Reyes

He’s got a lot of fight miles on him and the Reyes fight shows he wasn’t able to hang with the newer generation.

He did hang with the new generation though. Santos and Reyes haven't been the same since they fought him.
 
There is always someone else to fight..

You gotta get out eventually..
 
Lol Jan couldn't hold jones`s jockstrap
Jon would have easily picked him apart & destroyed him
 
Tough part for Jan is that Jon spends little to no time in boxing range where Jan's at his most dangerous. This on top of a great chin is the reason Jon's barely been stung in his career. The other tough part is that unlike the Adesanya fight where Jan was able to salt the fight away with the grappling, this isn't an option with Jon. In fact, the wrestling threat from Jon would likely neutralize his striking a bit. Jan's cardio could use some work too.

The tough part for Jon is that Jan's really good at checking leg kicks, and if he couldn't find a way to consistently get in the clinch and do damage and/or get the fight to the mat, Jon probably doesn't have much to offer Jan offensively on the feet for at least the first three rounds.
 
I like Jan but Jon, Rumble and DC would have all beaten him very comfortably

Even with that all said. He still beats Jan lol.
