[WaylonMercy5150]

No not even close.even werdum and dc can make a better argument than fedor

 

[Typrune Goatley]

Werdum has better ground game than Jones and arguably better clinch and about equal striking. Only things Jones was better than Werdum at was wrestling and being younger and cutting to 205.

Reem has far better striking and far better clinch but Jones had better wrestling, better chin and better gas tank.

Nogueira had better boxing than Jones for sure and equal conditioning. Nog had good takedowns but obviously Jones had super elite wrestling. Jones had better kicks and cut to 205 so he didn't have to fight the killers Nog fought.

Sergei and Stipe both have far better boxing than Jones. They are far more powerful punchers but Jones had better wrestling than them.

Gus has better boxing than Jones and the wrestling seemed to be about even. I think Jones has better clinch and is better in close quarters than Gus. The only reason Jones beat Gus was that huge elbow that rocked Gus in the 4th I think it was. Gus could very well beat him in a rematch.

Obviously Fedor had better striking and better KO power than Jones. He also had far better submission game and was more devastating in the clinch with strikes and had good throws. Both had great GNP. Jones had better takedowns but that is about it

 

[The Renegade]

DC would be my pick for most talented, him and Fedor. Both should have been MW's if they put the ice cream down. Same size as Jones though I'd say you got it right with Reem and Gus. I'd give a nod to Stipe and Cain as well.

That’s what she said.

Werdum and DC can't do this.

[3sumrock]

Werdum and DC can't do this.

So you’re saying that dc and wedum can’t kick,cant block strike and can’t wrestle?because those gifs show really basic stuff

Some dudes tend to have a limited idea of the 'well-rounded' concept...

Hands? Check

Kicks? Check

TDs? Check

Ground and Pound? Check

Submissions? Check

Werdum has the much better submission game but no way is he a better striker. He also has to resort to flopping on the ground to get fights to the floor.

DC can punch and wrestle. That’s it.

 

[green giant]

Well since Jones had enhanced skills I would say he would have never been champ without said enhancements.

Here’s the truth:
Fedor:
Throw wild looping hooks and leave his chin open? Check
No head movement and footwork? Check
Rarely throw kicks? Check
Average takedown?check
Little to no variety on feet? Check
No clinch game ?check
