This.....I know Jones was a beast regardless, but the way he was blatantly cycling peds even against smaller, older guys, leaves multiple asterisks by his name. Vitor and other guys get talked about for using peds when young, and for being on them legally when older(trt). Somehow Jones gets a pass from his weird fans and called "goat", even though he was clearly on peds and even failed tests for them multiple times...smh.Jones roided his way out of that sub. It made no sense. Same way DC clinched him up against the cage but couldn’t do anything because of the serum running through JJ’s veins

Alan Belcher vs Palhares
Im rewatching the Frye/Shamrock fight in PRIDE where Don was caught in multiple heel hooks/knee bars/toe holds where he refused to tap out! Can you name another fight where the guy who won was caught in tight submissions but refused to tap out?
The only one I can think of recently was Volk vs Ortega. Before that Jones/Belfort.
Calf slicers freak me out.Tyson Griffin beat RDA after being caught in a nasty calf slicer.

Well the legitimate threat is what happens if you don't tap.Think about this...
Many taps were due to fear only.
The submissions weren't actually going to severely hurt them and they tapped at a possibility, not an actual legitimate threat.

bang average meaning going 7-0 in title fights since the change and getting and defending the belt of the weightclass above his natural one?It’s not like Jones was some incredibly decorated wrestler either, he has an average college record that never gets mentioned, unlike DC who is a former Olympian. It’s like Merab getting O’Malley up against the cage and not being able to anything. I never rated the guy, as soon as they forced him to close his hands and stopped him eye poking to maintain range he’s looked bang average
