newsflash. ped cheaters dont count.We could argue GSP and Mighty Mouse are up there too.
Jon has qualities that make him one of the most dominant champs in the history of UFC.
- First, he knows how to pace himself. He doesn't rush ala Macgregor or gasses himself out. Just like Nate, he is a volume striker that will attack relentlessly while conserving his energy
- He has a great gas tank, and can go 5 rounds without fading in the championship rounds. That is, to me, a decisive factor to snap the victory out of the challenger's hands.
- He's rarely on his heels, and mostly takes control of the center of the octagon. That means he's advancing more, and dictates the pace
- His wrestling allows him to pressure his opponents and make them anticipate the takedowns
- His defence is great. You rarely see him rocked or knocked down. Thanks to his crazy reach, he can keep the distance from the power shots (ok, thanks to the eye pokes too)
- His leg kicks are lethal. His opponents often get out of a Jones fight with traumatized legs... Take for instance Thiago Silva who will be out for a while..
The decision might be controversial for some, but it's not a robbery and Jones is definitely a skilled champ
hint. he's a serial cheat.
