I'm an old guy so" I could be wrong about this, but you said you "agree with Ts", doesn't that mean that you agree with Transvestites because "TS" means Thread Starter, right? You know the thing, man.....well, anyway....
Agreed. The evidence against jones is so overwhelming is laughable he is still able to compete let alone be considered goat. Jones juiced his way to the top and off the roids he will get smoked by the heavies. I suspect his hiatus is so that he can perfect a way to beat usada while bulking up.
Jon Jones has looked worse in each of his last 3 fights Coincidence? i think not
vs Smith: could have LOST VIA DQ
vs. Santos: SPLIT DECISION even with 2 blown out knees, Jones couldnt do sh*t
vs. Reyes: won by UD but OUT-STRUCK, knocked down, and horrible judging.
based on the tape I've watched, he's noticeably slower, less explosive, and powerful. His wrestling looks regressed. The man who thoroughly outwrestled DC couldn't take down a one-legged Santos once.
The Reyes fight showed a visible regression in chain wrestling and he gave up on attempts quickly, relative to before. As for striking - significantly less volume. The stats say it all, but watch the fights for yourself. He used to throw combinations, unpredictable strikes, he was good at keeping the opponent guessing. These days? You don't see a single combination in his last 3 fights. None of those tricky "look low, kick high" shenanigans.
Jones initially built his tainted legacy from an era where LHW's were shorter. 5'11-6'1. Smith is 6'4, Santos is a thick 6'4, Reyes is 6'5. Much of his game stems from distance and using his length to not get hit.
dont want to get into the juicy juice but he popped for Gus and Smith, two fights he dominated. He did not pop for Santos and Reyes. At a certain point, correlation becomes so certain it reasonably indicates causation.
he knows he is on borrowed time and a loss is inevitable if he keeps fighting.
guys like Prochazka would literally kill him, i just couldn't see him beating all three of Jan, Jiri and Rakic.
he was smart to move to HW - if he is going to lose, only losing to Francis(and collecting 30m lul) or Gane will keep his reputation intact.
we've already seen moving up and losing doesn't affect perceptions of you (see Adesanya v Jan) so there's nothing to lose, everything to gain going to HW and nothing to gain in staying at LHW.
When someone is the ufc's greatest cheat and he succeeded at working the system its frustrating. Every other athlete with jones' infractions would be demonised and not compete again. In human cockfighting everything goes i guess.
Well, Machida, for one, was LHW champ (briefly) and then went on a little tear through MWthis is always the case everyone is the next guy to beat jones but when they loose all of the suden they become washed up happens every time i wonder how were machida ,shad , rampage , gus 1 and 2 , reyes , santos , smith , chael etc doing before and after they loose to the GOAT
the fact you assume most don't use is impressively naïve within itself
Show me the proof. Its naive to believe the narrative that they're all using. So someone on a10/10k can afford the regime to beat usada.the fact you assume most don't use is impressively naïve within itself
but I do share your sentiment.
That's the thing.
LOL
I really hope that Jones win tho if he either fight against Gane or NgannouJesus, Jon haters are relentless.
I mean, keep praying he will lose, but do so silently!
No one likes a whinner!
Matt Hamil has entered the chat!
Well, technically he did not.
