Jon Jones' legacy at heavyweight is about on par with Jake Paul's legacy in boxing.
GDR takes it lol loss by terrorWorse than GDR and Bisping?
you might have been ok until that point, and then you went off the rails. a loss due to injury? you realize the people here actually follow the sport a bit, yes?Who Jones had fought? Aspinall who was coming off a lost to Blaydes?
He finished the N2 hw in the world in round 1 cyril Gane who was hyped more than the aspinal guy. earning him a title fight. And then finished the greatest hw champion in the UFC to win the belt..After more than a decade of teasing, he finally stepped up and racked up wins there against Cyril "K.O." Gane and active first responder Stipe Miocic.
The same as if he had a one off fight at HW against Gane
Which was impressive, but not much of a HW legacy at all
Ultimately it hurt his overall legacy much more than it helped it
The word legacy is not appropriateAfter more than a decade of teasing, he finally stepped up and racked up wins there against Cyril "K.O." Gane and active first responder Stipe Miocic.
This entire thing has objectively hurt his legacy, maybe not in your eyes, but overall it has to the general publicI don't think it hurt his legacy but it didn't do much to help it either. He was the certified Goat before even thinking of moving up to HW. Anyone else does something similar and people praise them. Jon was already so great that people feel there will always be more that he could have done,always someone new that hes ducking by retiring.
