Take away the steroid talk, whether or not he did take steriods through out his career, or not. How would've a fight between Jon Jones, and Anthony Johnson went? I'm sure a lot of people will say Rumble just because they don't like Jones, but me personally I think Rumble would've definitely had a chance especially because of his Nuclear Bombs for hands, but overall I think Jon wouldn't play his game, and stand in front of him. If DC was able to takedown, and control Rumble, I'm 110% sure Jon Jones would've done the same, if not worse.

Discuss Sherbros.

Would have been great to see. I'm sure Jones would have fought cautiously knowing how dangerous Humble is
 
Jon would send Rumble back to welterweight.
 
If anyone could do it, Rumble could. Assuming he came in on his A game, I think he'd have a good shot. Stylistically Johnson is a nightmare for Jones.
 
Kicks -> Clinch -> Put Rumble on the cage -> Elbows -> Clinch trip -> Pass to side control - Elbows -> Back take -> RNC

Jones wins
 
All rumble would have needed to have done is touch jones’ chin. Would have been game over if that happened, and I think rumble would have found that chin easy.
 
Jones wins everywhere, will stay at range in the striking and kick Rumbles legs and knees and body kick him a lot too, and be way too creative and fast for Rumble. Eventually taking Rumble down who will be exhausted and choke him out round 2 or 3. I would bet Jones without doubt.
 
I read the thread as Anthony Joshua for a second o_O


But yeah, I'd have expected Jon Jones to beat Rumble quite comfortably- just too many dimensions to his game.
 
Jones and his team would have found flaws in Rumble's game. I would have loved to see it, just because of the danger that Rumble brings into the cage, but I think Jones would win this in quite dominant fashion.

Jones has a better chin than DC, boy.

Jones has never been rocked his entire career, what makes you think AJ can do it?

Jones DOMINATES him everywhere and chokes him out.


LOL @ the thought of a blown up Welterweight beating Jones. Lmao

Would've been a one-sided squash match, with AJ having zero success before getting finished spectacularly.

Jones never faced anyone with rumbles power and rumble can close the distance so easy to get in and land on that chin.

Put this into context, the way he put Glover out with one punch, the first punch. Gus had to eye poke and land +100 shots over 3 rounds to get the finish on Glover. Jones had the fight of his life against Gus and squeaked out a decision and which he was lucky to have gotten as it could easily have been given to Gus.

And then jones had wins over cormier when in the first fight he had the t levels of a little prepubescent girl and then... well he popped in the second fight so yeah.

I think rumble would finish jones easily, jones never faced anyone with that power rumble has.
 
Rumble has the power to stop anyone- so there’s that

But likely outcome is Jones via sub after chipping away at him.
