forget tom, i dont think jones beats volkov or blaydes

[mister piscadinha]

sure, now that he beat a retired 42 year old, some of you guys think he's invincible

but to me the stipe fight was not impressive at all, when stipe pressured forward jon had literally no answer other than stick his arms forward, turning his back and run

sure, you can do that against a exhausted grandpa, i dont think he could do that against younger, bigger guys who at the moment present way more of a threat than stipe

and miss me with "but he subbed gane" nonsense

guy is so unidimensional, its like they went back to 2002 and pulled him straight outta K1 ring

 

[JBJ was here]

Jon could be in the physical condition of Stipe Miocic and on fight IQ alone he'd still beat Curtis Blaydes.

 

[Gregoire1]

Forget Jones, I dont think Asp will beat Gane or Ngannou.

I've thought about it.

How would Jones deal with Volkov's size?

He would kick him from a distance? lol

Put his hand on his head lol

Enter a desperate Double/single leg ?
lol.

Horrible match up for Jon.

This would be the real fight in the heavyweights to see if he really has IQ...

Gane we will find out soon...

now Ngannou is from another event.

 

[Croton]

Volkov is slow and Jones has a 4.5 inch reach advantage -> Jones picks him apart
Blaydes is slow, has meh striking and would not be able to take Jones down -> Jones picks him apart

 

[Pompey Junglist]

Jones likely beats Volkov almost as easily as Tom did.

 

[Gilday]

I think he beats them both, but not as impressively as Tom did

You might be right and you might be wrong. Hard to tell. He'd outthink any HW in there so their advantage would have to be purely physical. And maybe it is. I would watch these fights, but I'd sooner see him face the consensus best right now in Tom.

 

[Tnellie30]

This is likely the worst take that I have read today. No offense...and I am about the furthest person from being a Jones supporter. I do recognize his dedication, hard work, fight IQ, top level experience, physical gifts and capabilities, and the ability to draw on all of the forementioned. What makes you think Curtis Blades is suddenly going to become the one to solve this puzzle? That is actually silly, TBH.

Jones has done that for years, and not just now. He turns his back and resets as fighters get into his pocket and put him on his back leg. He is a good defensive fighter outside of that and keeps a high guard.

Now, If you watch the Stipe fight Jones jab looked better, Cormier and Atlas even mentioned it. Jones jab also has more power on it as he rocked Stipe with that same Jab. It looks like the weight has given jones some power, which if true will be a problem for the HW's in the division. Jones throws alot of different strikes such as spinning back kicks,cut kicks, and so on. So he has a more diverse striking game than most of the division, can wrestle and is dangerous on the ground.

I do not know if Blaydes could deal with jones striking on the feet, let alone a good majority of the division. But, If jones has gotten more power in his strikes from moving up the HW, then that will be an issue for the HW division since he has slowed down.

 

[AMAZINGUFC]

I don't think he can beat Black Beast either.

If Jon takes him down, Lewis avoids it or gets up.
Lewis is hard to finish. One punch and Jones falls dead.

Lewis is not an easy fight for anyone.

We certainly won't see him against JJ, but who knows, maybe we'll see him against Aspinall.

Tom is reachable and he won't be able to be in this one.
It will depend more than ever on his reflexes, speed and calmness...

I want to see.

Styles make fights.

 

[prime_lobov]

Volkov can’t grapple and Blaydes can’t strike. Jones would destroy either of these guys easily

 

[TriangleMonkey]

We outta straws yet Sherdog?


LMFAO

 

[asdf122345]

Jones beats all. I think even Tom is screwed himself. Jon Jones the #1 GOAT. Just admit it.

 

[Burd]

Jones to me would struggle against guys who are bigger with 1 punch ok power. Black beast, Sergei, Tom…etc

 

[Vehap1]

Forget Jones, I dont think Asp will beat Gane or Ngannou.

Really? how is Gane gonnna stop the TD? I assume you never watched Toms fights before

This is the most hilarious take ever in the history of Sherdog. Lewis???? Really? Ur Jones hate has made u unable to Sherdog,....and thats really hard to do.

Wait a minute, aren't u one of the guys that were saying Jonny Walker was gonna destroy Jones back in the day??

 

[Rasputin9]

He'll never fight either of them. Can you imagine Jones saying "Man, the Blaydes fight is the one to make. Get my agent on the phone!"

 

[SerbianSteel]

Volkov is slow and Jones has a 4.5 inch reach advantage -> Jones picks him apart
Blaydes is slow, has meh striking and would not be able to take Jones down -> Jones picks him apart

They're both kickers so arm reach is less relevant.

I think Volkov is a way better striker but the real problem is he's tall guy vulnerable off his back and as slow as Stipe. Jones loses to most good HWs but I think he beats Volkov.
