I dont like Jones at all, cant stand how he comes across as fake and arrogant. BUT, I have huge respect for him as a fighter, before this fight most for his skills, now also for his heart and fighting spirit.
Guys been through a war, and won it where it matters most, in the scorecards.
But it is the first time he's got his ass handed to him and only limped away with the Belt due to one of the worst Decisions in modern MMA history.
It's sad how many people cried because Jones hasn't been tested, or hadn't shown heart etc., doesn't fight tall guys etc and now that he did, all of a sudden he is exposed, lost the fight, can't hang at HW. The Jones hate is really on a stupid level.
That was an incredibly close fight.
The rematch is going to be insane. Both fighters have things they have to work on and improve.
I would have to say the "WTF?" moment for me was early in the first when you realized that Gustafsson was lighting Jones up on his feet.
I thought Jon's striking was top level, but he really does rely on being unorthodox with that crazy reach.
The old man escorting Jones is pointing out the MMA Judge that Jon Jones owes the check to, that gave him the 49-46.
I don't think that at all. I think Gustaffson's boxing is just that much better.
It was pointed out at the presser that Bonner was just as large as Jones, and he got dismantled.
Idiots and their "haters" replies. Calling bullshit isn't hating, its calling bullshit you fucktard.
Jones lost and the fight really wasn't that close, watch it again with no audio.
It wasn't close. Jones won clearly if you look at fight metric.
Watch it again without bias. Oh, I'm sorry, that's probably impossible.
You are a joke. The very same fight metric that awarded Jones the grappling because he had more failed take down attempts?
Pathetic.
