Has Jon Jones TDD been tested?

Jon Jones has probably the best TDD at LHW.

He is very hard to take down. This is also what Rashad said before their fight. And you can easily see it. He has a very fast and strong sprawl.
 
His TDD is excellent, there is a reason the best MMA wreslter he's faced didn't even try to take him down. Rashad knew from years of training together that it wasn't an option.

Sonnen's TDD is average or slightly above average. Expect to see him on his back for as long as the fight lasts.

Cheers for the vid/gif dude.
That first sprawl is impressive
He seems to use his length and leverage very quickly in those situations.

Yeah great gifs!
Jones is so fluid(especially in Rampage gif) ut almost looks fucking choreographed, very Anderson esque
 
Rampage is the only fighter i can remember from memory going for a take down and it was a very half hearted attempt.
 
There was a video a whole back of like a 5'6 reporter sparring with jones and takes him down off a flying knee. I win.
 
Why would Lean Cuisine even advertise on a site where people know at least the basics of nutrition lol

LMAO Chael wont even get him down ONE single time. Not even once, before Jones decimates him.

He'll get Jones down when Jones goes to check on Chael's unconscious body after the fight. You know. To get some fans.
 
Once he beats chael, there will be no doubt in his Tdd and his ability to get back up
 
Rashad is a great wrestler that trained with Jon and he never even bothered with a double leg attempt despite being lit up on the feet. He couldn't budge Jones in the clinch. That has to tell you something about how much respect he has for his wrestling.

He was also coming off a fight where he constantly took Phil Davis down.
 
Bader tried to take Jones down a couple times and, Bones just rag-dolled him. I remember watching that fight and just being floored by how much stronger Jones seemed to be, and how Bader just had nothing for him in terms of wrestling. There's a reason Rashad didn't shoot on him much, and it's cause he knew he wouldn't get Jon down, the times he even tried he just got tossed away. No one at 205 is going to be able to hold Jon down, maybe when he moves up and starts fighting much bigger men, but at 205, it just isn't happening.
 
Rampage, Bader, Evans, Gusmao and Bonnar have tried to take him down.
They all failed.

Pretty sure O'Brien tried as well.

Chael Daddy will put Jonny Bones on his back atleast once in every round.

Is this the same Chael Daddy that couldn't get Silva down in Round 2 of their second fight and promptly got crushed because of it?
 
Rashad couldnt do anything to Jones in the clinch, and Rashad has some of the best MMA wrestling in the business.

Rashad didn't even really try to take Jones down and he trained with jones in the past, so you can see how much respect he had for Jones' TDD.
 
As Vitor has shown, it may take BJJ to defeat Jones.

In the Rampage gif, it was fucking magic.

Kept his eyes on Rampage the entire time, used the momentum from his kicking leg to sprawl very hard and quick. Rampage had no chance to take down a man on one leg.
 
It'll be interesting to see if Chael diligently pursues the TD in my opinion. People seem to be suggesting that previous opponents have tried and failed, but not persisted.
You've gotta imagine to Chael doesn't really have a plan B and will keep chasing it.
