Did Jon Jones escape Jan Blachowitz's reign?

[kenetics]

You realize Jan was a gatekeeper during Jones reign if that?

Jan only got to the front of the line cause everyone in front of him except Glover left.

This. Glover has been ko dead a couple times . How the lhw divsion has fallen.

 

[textwarrior]

He escaped in handcuffs.

To be honest, I did not see JJ losing to Jan. Especially, if he had his act together.

Jon vacated his title to go fight in the family members division

 

[Grandwizard666]

It's like nobody has ever watched Jones fight, or watched more than his last 3
Yes, Jones last few fights he didn't look so great.
But Jones is notorious for taking opponents lightly and fighting down to them, then rising to the occasion when he needs to. Dude is undefeated ( fuck that stupid dq) for a reason.. he would smoke Jan. And I'm not a Jones fan and am a fan of Jan. Just facts. Just like I believe gsp could have come back and smoked Woodley at anytime during his reign. Just like khabib would smoke Charles. Not all champs are equal.

he wanted more money because the ufc were forcing him to rematch reyes while he wanted to figth jan so he told the ufc to fuck off and vacated the title

He's absolutely in shape, but he just opted to not compete anymore.
Weird is, Jan confronted him after he demolished Dominick Reyes, who had a close fight with Jones.
Jan looked like he's not intimidated by Jones in any ways, but JOnes made a smile and since then... he hasn't been active, ever since.
It just looks weird to me. Does Jones know something we don't?

 

[alex21cms]

This. I like Jan a lot, but he's the type of fighter that Jones has feasted on his entire career.

In his last couple of fights, Jones struggled with fighters who were on par with him physically and athletically like Santos and Reyes. However, when it comes to slow footed tacticians like Jan, Jones just kicks them in their knees and pokes their eyes out over 25 minutes. Jan isn't knocking him out or submitting him, either.

the santos figth wasn t even close he 2 knock him down and beat him entirly on the feet and for the record santos with no legs was robbed against rakic

i agree he would have beaten woodley

I like Jan but Jon, Rumble and DC would have all beaten him very comfortably

don t forget about Gus and we ll see about Glover too

Lol Jones had to tone down juicing and immediately became beatable and got his ass handed to him by Reyes.
Gifted the decision, accepting Jan's call out. Jan destroyed Reyes, so Jones was sent onto some proper level 10 juice by the UFC, because there's no way in hell he could handle Jan with just turinabol.
GOAT this and that, he was beaten by Reyes, who was on cloud nine confidence when he was fighting Jan, who handled him with ease.
Jones is even scared of Adesanya.

 

[D-Volt]

If Jon's off the juice I think there are a few current LHWs that give him real problems. Jan is one.

Jones record is hysterically overrated. Roided up 6’5” dude with 200inch reach eye poking his way through washed up legends and getting abused while given hand out decisions against people remotely close to his size

Dominick Reyes - gift decision, did nothing and got beat
Thiago Santos - gift decision against one legged MW
Anthony Smith - gift decision, & Anthony could’ve taken the W if he wanted from more illegal Jones shit
Alexander Gustafsson - washed up retired paycheck collection
Daniel Cormier - stripped again (more roids)
Ovince Saint Preux - stripped again (roids)
Daniel Cormier - stripped (violation)
Glover Teixeira - meh eye poke central
Alexander Gustafsson - got abused and put in hospital, L
Chael Sonnen - lol
Vitor Belfort - MW Vitor short notice almost broke his arm off
Rashad Evans - win but did nothing to rashad
Lyoto Machida - meh good win I guess
Quinton Jackson - old washed up
Maurício Rua - old washed up

this Jones unstoppable GOAT of all time destroying people thing is laughable. Right time in a bad division.

 

[w00t]

Blachowicz smashes a clean Jon Jones.

 

[koquerelle]

Some people are always looking for a scenario where JBJ loses. It's getting sad. Jan would be on his back eating elbows. Jan wasn't even a bleep on the radar and JBJ was champ.

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.

More like GSP-Hendricks to lawler but I see your comparison . Gsp went to war with Hendricks and barely kept his belt . Similar to the Jon and Reyes fight . Then Jan comes in and destroys the guy jon had trouble with . Dosnt take a genius to realize bones knows he’s on the decline and wants to get paid out before he takes his first real L .

It'll be Jiri reign by next year.

Jones would lose to half of Sherdog at this point. He looks like a fat couch potato who hasn't picked up a weight in his life.

In his prime he would have finished Jan on 30 seconds.

 

[welcometohavoc]

As much as I dislike Jones, I can't see a guy who got beat by Patrick Cummins and Thiago Santos giving Jones any problems.

Jan is definitely a product of a weak LHW division

 

[abject]

He's absolutely in shape, but he just opted to not compete anymore.

It just looks weird to me. Does Jones know something we don't?

Jones fled the usada reign. Since they came in he has looked very ordinary.
