JBJ is already 31 years old...

[Hotora86]

He has loads of time to get suspended again. I can see another fuck up. Maybe 2 if he's focussed.

4 years of suspension per fuckup means he's have 2 more UFC fights before he hits 40 and moves to Asia.

 

[LockardTheGOAT]

Probably another 4-5 years at least. Depends heavily on how he looks without PED's (bwahahaha... But let's pretend for a second.)

 

[gono btw]

No reason for him to move up to HW unless he wants to. I see him coming back at 32-34 and fighting 3-4 x per year for 4 years and as he runs through all the scrubs at LHW repeatedly, he’ll be lauded as the goat and restore his reputation.

3-4 fights per year is a lot, no?...these days... too much for the New Breed...

 

[surrealworlds]

Somehow I doubt a loss from DQ which happened as he was elbowing the other guy to pieces while in full mount is gonna count for a guy like him. And a DQ from cheating is still gonna not gonna count the same as a highlight reel finish or decisive UD loss for a guy like him.

What are you talking about? Count for him in what way? His record is 22-1-1. You see those ones? They count. Thats how that whole system works.
It doesnt matter how much you want his nuts he still has a legit loss and a legit no contest from PED use. Thats facts.

He'll be back. Can't wait, bring back the crazy. Maybe 4/5 years worth

 

[Brock-B-level-Athlete]

Jones is ducking Gus

 

[Alpha_T83]

I remember when he was 19 and making Shogun tap.

You mean when he was 23?

 

[Willek]

You mean when he was 23?

No. He will always be 19 to me.

 

[Chok Sok Te]

T-wood, Yoel and D.C prove that age isn’t always a factor
As some have mentioned it’s more to do with fights/ damage taken

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

he'll get knocked out at HW eventually

Jones might be back fighting before Gus is. So he'll be waiting for him.

 

[Rebli19]

If he returns next year he has 5 good years if he takes good care of himself. Look at Woodley and DC

 

[WinZip]

He'll be back when he's 34 and USADA will be all over him. I'm not sure he'll really do as well upon his return

 

[Ronin13]

He could spend the next five years hiding under a boxing ring from USADA and still have a couple left to fight.

 

[ANIM4L]

Once you start using its never the same when you go clean. He's fucked

 

[Isthat-yo bop]

Who can honestly beat him ? We know he is crazy and maybe likes to party but who can stop him . He has the perfect frame suited for his Division and there is no one up and coming . He can fight till he’s 45

 

[PlayswellwithLawnDarts]

I think he’s learning Japanese, I really think so.

USADA can and has beaten him. Many would argue Gus also beat him, but that's a different story

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

According to you, how many 'elite' years does he realistically still have left to rebuild his legacy,
knowing that he hasnt suffered that much damage (Vitor Gracie / Gus) and that his camp/coaches are pretty 'conservative'?

Disciplined fighters like Jon can extend their athletic primes.

Would be disappointing for his legacy if he doesnt Dare-2-Be-Great @ HW...
