Jon Jones feels good mentally and physically as he hints at Stipe Miocic fight on the November 9 date he previously revealed.

and here is naturally explosive beast doing the same exercise (start at 10:20) :


JJ looks so slow and unathletic when you compare the two.

PS - I couldn't find the normal clip of JJ on Yt, sorry guys

Is it fair to call Jon unathletic though, because he's not very explosive? He can perform all kinds of martial arts techniques that other fighters can't do, he's never had cardio issues, and he's strong as fuck.

I hold a special kind of disdain for Jon Jones, but his family is literally all professional athletes. Explosiveness isn't everything. If Fedor had the wrestling and the physical attributes of Jon, he would've been even more unstoppable.

My cousin Vinny is a fat slob and he eats a shit ton of gabbagool and has an Elvis haircut but guarantee you fellas that he could turn jones into a pretzel. His fingers are like sausage links and he has size 27 feet even though he’s only 5’7 and recently he fell asleep in the beach and was mistaken for a bloated washed up corpse but he’s so strong that jones would stand no chance.

Different anatomy. Jones is much taller and he has monkey arms. There is more distance travelled. Fedor is a more explosive athlete but it's also his build. Fedor isn't really a big guy in terms of height. He is a more compact HW. Judging from their weight lifting. Jones can lift way more than Fedor but he isn't an explosive guy. His reps are slow moving grinders. Jones is pretty strong though.

Here is another Fedor pull up video from a while back.

Simmer down now, Phil.

It is fair because I have a higher vertical jump than him. And I work in a cubicle.

 

[Ibm]

Fedor is way stronger than he looks. I mean WAYYY.

 

[Dionysian]

Who cares about explosiveness when Jon has beaten/out-athleticized multiple guys who were more explosive than him.

That being said, Fedor is the GOAT so I will allow it just this once. Fedor's pullups are better, therefore he is better.

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

That Fedor chin though..

Jones could have eaten that for days.

 

[laleggenda27]

Both are terrible form. But this isn't CrossFit, so who cares?

 

[The Clark]

Fedor at 31 vs. Jones at 37. Those six years can make a big difference.

 

[bng]

john johnes would never fight fedor, they are friends and teammates irl

 

[PhilMcCavity]

Simmer down now, Phil.

Sorry big guy my autism is acting up

GOATdor puts on a masterclass clinic in the ring, in the gym, and in life on his biggest fan, Jonathan Jones.

 

[Fight Professor]

Let's see their vertical jumps.

I think Jones' strengths are his reach, his ability to stay calm under stress, and his strength. One of those is a skeletal trait, one of those might credibly be sociopathy, the other might be PEDs. I think it could convincingly be argued he's not athletic.

Randleman or Coleman said he was the strongest person they ever stepped into the ring with. And, after he retired, he placed second in an international arm-wrestling tournament without ever training for it (Overeem was the winner).

damn, can't believe jon even posted that. not impressed at all. not one even hit the chin.

Weird thing is that he probably never needed the peds.
Just like Alexander the great he was born to be a weird killing machine trying to get in touch with their selves.
At least he did not burn down half of the world doing it.
