Jon Jones Likely Has Nothing For Ciryl Gane

[Lee_]

Funny. I think Gane beats Aspinall.

I have serious doubts about that. Gane did poorly on the ground against Francis, which would not bode well for someone who actually has skills on the ground like Aspinall. I think those skill differences are highlighted when you look at Gane's 5 round decision over Volkov compared to Aspinall's quick first round finish. It's all about the matchup.

Jon Jones is no dummy and neither is his fight team Jackson - Wink MMA. They all know Gane has a big weakness and its his TDD and fighting off his back.



Jon slowly bulked up so 3 years is more than enough time to become comfortable with the extra weight. Gane has a real problem as Jon has an 84.5 inch reach compared only 81 for Gane. This means Gane will have to work his way inside as Jon starts landing those oblique strikes to the knee those same strikes that destroyed Thiago Santos's knees to the point he was never the same fighter after that point. Jon Jones has more weapons in his arsenal both in stand up and on the ground whereas Gane is a one trick pony he's all stand up fighting whereas on the ground on his back he looks like a confused turtle.

Your stuck in the 2010s. Wink rightfully threw Jon out of his gym two years ago after he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence.

Do you seriously believe this older and fatter version of Jones is going to keep up on the feet with a guy who turned Ngannou into a panic wrestler?

This is going to look like Shogun/Paul Craig Pt 2.

Chicken legged Jon is goat I wonder how they look at hw <Lmaoo>View attachment 963214

Better hope he doesn't get checked

The writing is on the wall, Jones is going down.

Cyril Gane will be the first man to finish Jon Jones in the octogon

 

[Chayanne]

No power is in this weight biggest issue, jones have no power and easy fight for gane

 

[StonedLemur]

The cope from Jones haters is wild

first it’s he’ll never go to heavyweight

then it’s if he does go to heavyweight, he’ll pick an easy fight

Jon comes back to take on the #1 ranked, in their prime heavyweight and now the next narratives are 1. He’s not going to show up 2. He’s going to lose badly

the haters will be proven wrong once again

jones bless

He only took a decade to move up, I mean I don't see why people would question it lol

 

[ineverpost]

Everyone thought Conor McGregor would have a shot against Khabib if he kept it standing and low and behold Khabib almost KOd him standing. Who has Cyril fought that posed a wrestling threat to him? Jon is a guy who can knock you out simply because you're just going to be worried about the grappling. If Jones is a strong +100 or greater in the betting lines then I'm putting money on him (hypothetically, I am not a degenerate gambler). The guy has shown he has what it takes to beat anyone.

 

[Alpha_T83]

It's funny because there are tons of people posting the same thing on the other side. "Blah blah blah, Jones will take Gane down easily 50-45."

I doubt it's going to be a 1-sided fight either way. Gane should have known to train his TDD for the past year, regardless. If he has, Jon isn't just taking him down with no effort. And Jon himself is no slouch in the striking department. I suspect we'll see a competitive fight.

 

[Alpha_T83]

Idk man. I'm sure he already knew how to sprawl, but to get actually good defensively is difficult. Takes more than a year.

Also, I don't think I was comparing defense to offense?

If Gane has been smart and working his TDD, then I don't think Jon is taking him down easily. We shall see.

Well that goes to show I've never been a fan boy of Jon Jones even though I believe he has all the tools needed to defeat the 1 dimensional Gane. Its impossible for a fighter to become very good at TDD and ground fighting in 1 years time. Gane will end up on his back during this fight and will have to survive the onslaught.

I have serious doubts about that. Gane did poorly on the ground against Francis, which would not bode well for someone who actually has skills on the ground like Aspinall. I think those skill differences are highlighted when you look at Gane's 5 round decision over Volkov compared to Aspinall's quick first round finish. It's all about the matchup.

Let's see how improved Gane is on the ground before making that conclusion. One of the few things usually overlooked when predicting fights is a fighter's ability to improve.
And Gane for sure would look out for the grappling more vs. someone like Aspinall, over a brawler like Francis. I don't think most in the MMA world predicted Francis to go that route.
The way Aspinall finished Volkov was impressive, but it's not like Gane actually struggled vs the Russian.
It was a pretty comfortable win on points, as was his style and approach.

So Jon getting older and fatter is going to help him against a faster and better conditioned HW?

It’s obvious you are looking at this disingenuously. Jones is still not old, especially by heavyweight standards. I don’t see a fat guy at all looks like he has put on a lot of muscle. Will it slow him down or wreck his conditioning? I doubt it. Many fighters have improved by moving up in weight.

The problem is you are spouting crap as if it was fact. Nobody except Jon Jones and the people he is training with have any idea what his conditioning level is.

Jones said he was going to HW a decade ago. Believe when/if the fight starts.

If he tries to strike for more than 1 rnd he's done. If he wrestles its an easy win for Jones

Most likely he will wrestle and it will be an easy fight with no risk of 1 shot KO

Tougher matchups would have been Volkov, Werdum, Reem, Blaydes

 

[CrimsonFan]

I don't really think Gane is that great at mma so I'll pick the guy who has proven to be elite for years and years.

 

[textwarrior]

Jones is an inferior striker to Gane, lacks traditional knockout power, and doesn't have the conditioning to grapple as he did when he was a younger man. Jon arguably lost his last two fights at LHW and definitely would have lost his last fight if not for incompetent judging.

Gane in his last fight became the first fighter to KO Tai Tuivasa who had only been TKOd previously. Gane appears to be sitting down more on his punches since the loss to Ngannou. It is questionable whether Jones can handle that type of knockout power.

What exactly does a path to victory for Jones look like because it is difficult to see a clear one?

JJ imo, will have the better hands, not foot work of gane, but JJ will be able to to take him down between his hands, experience. Gane will show better overall striking but his kicks will be the factor if he wins which I don't see happening. I think JJ wins in a close fight.

 

[Raptors2019]

I wouldn't be surprised if Jones took it easily. There's a timeline out there where he becomes the HW GOAT, maybe it's our timeline.

I really hope so it's in our timeline

 

[MigitAs]

I wouldn't be surprised if Jones took it easily. There's a timeline out there where he becomes the HW GOAT, maybe it's our timeline.

It’s really hard to bet against a guy that’s been undefeated for almost decades.

Volkov the guy who got 50-45ed by Gane last year?

Jones hasn't proved squat in almost 3 years now, other than he can barely beat a couple of washed up LHW's. Jones nutriders are delusional.

 

[brownsmith76]

Jones has wrestling, reach, and a lot more experience.
