How do you rate Jon's legacy as a Heavyweight?

[BigTruck]

As a heavyweight he's undefeated but beat 0 ground game game and 43 year old 3 year removed stipe who is regarded at the best he of all time and very heavily criticized and disputed at the same time and then very clearly and blatantly ducks tom. Jones is the best ever at 205 and probably pfp but his hw run is kind of a joke.

 

[joeybananas]

No legacy at HW

 

[SuperNerd]

He beat up that old guy for clout

 

[markg171]

Everybody shitting on Gane are going to say the complete opposite when Tom fights Gane in the fall.

 

[ledonk]

Like GSPs middleweight. Irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

 

[MrBlackheart]

Fun little side-quest. 2-0!

Yeah, 2 easy side quests and avoiding to fight the end boss.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Trophy champion like GSP. Both Jones and GSP just wanted the belt for the legacy and ducked the rightful contenders. At least GSP treated it like a trophy and relinquished immediately but Jones wanted to hold on to it because he liked being the face of the company.

He easily could have ended his career on a high note. No one wanted the Stipe fight if he announced that he wanted to fight Stipe for the final fight in his career and was going to retire win or lose, there would be that.

 

[Kinniku]

Cowardice got the best of him

 

[markg171]

Yeah, 2 easy side quests and avoiding to fight the end boss.

The "end boss" was coming off a loss to Blaydes when Jon moved up.

 

[MDoza]

He’s a career LHW that moved up, won a belt, and defended.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Yeah, 2 easy side quests and avoiding to fight the end boss.

More like a sub-boss that levelled up after the fact and everyone retconned him in later.

 

[Hairrow]

As a joke

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

Everybody shitting on Gane are going to say the complete opposite when Tom fights Gane in the fall.

Nah the consensus is pretty clearly Gane has nothing for Tom that isn't going to change

 

[Söze Aldo]

What legacy?

It's etched in stone

 

[Substance Abuse]

It's etched in stone

That stomach sure ain't.

 

[BFoe]

At HW, completely insignificant.

 

[Lycandroid]

He erased everything accomplished at HW with the ducking fiasco. Good riddance.

 

[BobsyaUncle]

Non-existent. You could tell he never really believed in himself as a HW.

 

[milliniar]

It's etched in stone

Cain unified the lineal dream and pride belt into the UFC belt too

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Worse than GDR and Bisping?

GDR takes it
