Media Fedor and Jones meet and hug each other

[dipstickjimmy]

What does authentically Christian mean?

What is it that you are confused about? The meaning of Authentic? Or the meaning of Christian?

Authentic meaning genuine, true or real. Based on Jon's public behaviour he does not display Christian Values but he cloaks himself in Christianity. Beating his wife, running away from a hit and run accident where he was high and injured a pregnant lady, cheating with PEDs and hiding under the cage from USADA, eye gouging and when called out on it making fun of people who called him a cheater rather than changing his behaviour. None of that is remotely what Christ teaches. Don't get me wrong, I am not any better a Christian then Jones. I just don't purport to be a "Christian" for my own gain or ego.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Jones got to meet the GOAT

 

[Prince Nephilim]

Genuine love there.

 

[sanguinius]

My top two greatest fighters of all time. 1 and 2 GOAT and I have trouble picking one.

Yeah, what passages in the bible reference holding your fingers in front of a fighter's eyes? Could you list it? And the hiding under the cage thing comes from Sonnen, do you believe everything from him?

The rest is nonsense. A true Christian is completely free from sin? You are clearly not religious and are using it as an insult against someone's behavior. That's a pathetic way to think and act.

 

[J'Ghasta]

Literally every other great fighter gets giddy in the presence of Fedor. Not the other way around. Mark of the GOAT.

Just because you sin or make mistakes doesn't mean you're disqualified from being an authentic Christian. It just means you have work to do.

Goat on goat shit

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

This is the real world where legends meet and embrace eachother with hespect. Not the internet where geeks who never trained need to tear one fighter down to build up another.

 

[clutchCAT420]

War Fedor
War Jony
War Allah

So Jones is a Prince

lmao i laughed because he does look like one

 

[CutStryker]

I think if they fought in primes, Fedor would reck Jones on the feet. Fedor had great combos and punching ability, I’d say knockout power. Jones not so much. Both great grappling. I want to say Fedor doesn’t speak to to his brother, I could be wrong at this moment of time but I know they weren’t on speaking terms at one point.

He wouldn't though. Jones would use his length, oblique kicks, general fighting smarts to keep Fedor at a distance. If Fedor closed the distance, Jones would have a huge advantage. Fedor wasn't a great wrestler - he was taken down by Lindland (or had to grab the robes to avoid to).

Fedor vs Jones in their respective primes is a lock for Jones, as Fedor is prone to getting cut, and Jones was lethal with his elbows on the ground.

Lindland was an Olympic Silver Medalist, it hardly means one’s wrestling sucks to be taken down by him, which Fedor really wasn’t anyhow.

In looking back over Fedor’s resume, I can’t think of a single fighter that he didn’t/couldn’t close the distance on. That obviously doesn’t mean Fedor would win this fantasy matchup, but I do think it’s a stretch to just assume that Jones would magically keep Fedor on the outside for the entire fight, when no one else has ever done so.

Lindland was a great wrestler. He was a middleweight though. Jones, as opposed to Fedor (one might say) hasn't really struggled vs those.

As I said, Fedor could close the distance on Jones, but he would get taken down (if Jones wanted to ).

Could Fedor submit Jones on the ground? Well, Jones was close to getting submitted by an armbar, no less, by Belfort. So it could happen. Then again, Fedor hasn't submitted anyone near as savy on the ground as Jones.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

Wait I thought Jones was a Christian, what's with the Arabic clothing

bro, he's trying to walk in Jesus' footsteps to purify his body of all the estrogen and give him his divine picograms back. he's like Samson with his hair, except instead of hair it's steroids.

i think this highly depends on where the fight takes place. in UFC? the reach + elbow specialist + Fedor's paper skin = TKO cut. in Pride? Jon is going to need more than an oblique kick and a stiff arm to keep Fedor from swarming him. then again, in Pride Jon Jones gets to go full Super Saiyan and increase his power levels to over 9000 picos so, there's that.

 

[suprah]

Or a set of goggles for the sneak eye poke attack.

On a serious note, kind of cool to see these two side by side for a moment.

I actually suggested fighters wear goggles to protect from eye pokes on here years ago lol. Derp derp

 

[ChangeIsComing]

Belly to belly.
