Jon would've done izzy dirty

Can we put this bullshit to rest? I said this before, izzy knew he couldn't beat jon and kept shifting the goalpost. he pretty much admitted that he couldn't beat jon when he accused jon of tryiny to "canelo" him (beat izzy before his prime). And people got so sensitive when i mentioned how suspect it was for izzy to move up only when jon left 205. Jon would ragdoll him at will. He cherry picked and lost. Jon would do much worse to him. He dodged a bullet and will live to fight another day and bully more middleweights and rack up some title defence. At middleweight he's unstoppable but this jon jones at heavyweight shit... Baloney.


What was the "Canelo" situation?
 
OR you could be reading and predicting this matchup wrong just as you did with Jan vs Izzy.

MMA math doesn't work. Jon hasn't been impressive lately. Jan has.
Jones always gets up for big fights. He destroyed Gustafsson in their second fight. That was around the same time as his fights with Santos and Reyes, against whom he looked lackluster because he didn't take them seriously. Jones would have taken Izzy seriously, consequently he would have big-brothered him.
 
That is exactly what I thought - Prime, Pulsing Jon would have rag dolled the fuck outta Izzy and thrown Hellbows in the guard that would have have Izzy out.
 
What year is it?

Jon is barely eeking by in close decisions lately.
against number 1 contenders at their peak, who have been training almost their whole career to beat jon jones, and all that he was incentivized to do is to hold onto his title. hes still above jan at this point, and styles make fights. jons wrestling is better than jans. izzy gets wrecked by jon, lets be real here (all hatred aside).
 
Yea jon probably would taken izzy down and gave him a matt hammil-esque beating but the buildup to that fight would've been entertaining as hell tho. Izzy needs to address his wrestling bigtime if he wants to win that fight
 
Jon and Izzy need to get a hold of some hangmans rope real quick
 
This potential fight went down the toilet for good last night.. Jones is 33 and waiting on the winner of Stipe/Francis.. Izzy will be back down to MW for a good long while now... Last night was a huge step back on his legacy..
 
Jones also seems to genuinely hate the guy and would probably fight him with a chip on his shoulder

There is no scenario where i see this ending well for Izzy. That said props tp him if he ever takes a fight against Jones sometimes in the future. That would be ballsy on his part

Izzy joined UFC in 2018 and already fought at 205 in 2021. Jon Jones has been in the UFC since 2010 yet to move up in weight. Izzy should get credit for taking up the challenge Jon waited a whole decade to take on.

Izzy weighed in at 200 pounds. Jon walks around at 225 at least. Izzy would give up 25 pounds at least anywhere they match up. Jon is supposed to win anyway and he proves nothing by winning.
 
Would’ve been like a beach master elephant seal fighting a fucking stork. Izzy probably knows it, too.
 
As much as I can't stand Juicehead, I agree.

Jan had no prob taking and holding Izzy down. Jon would hape him.

The factor is if Jon would be able to take Izzy down, as Izzy said its not about the power but whether or not the power can be delivered to its target. Jon wasn't able to take Santos or Reyes down, why not? Jon doesn't have the same power as Jan to make lethal strikers like Santos/Reyes think twice about defending both the striking and TD. Izzy is a better striker than both fighters and he would pick him apart since he wouldn't have to worry about the non-power of Jones on the feet.
 
He'd be a favourite but I wouldn't be that confident betting on a guy who should have lost his past two fights.
 
santos ko ed jan
Although I favor Jon in this fight, lets not act like this is 2013. Jon hasn't been that impressive as of late, winning by a hair against fighters who get finished in their next fights. While Jons performances have been declining, Jans are getting more and more impressive. Izzy fought a solid fight and did some pretty good things in there. Jon has struggled to take down and control fighters like Santos and Reyes so Izzy certainly has a chance to avoid grappling situations.
 
No shit haha.

The fact that people thought Adesanya would be competitive with Jones is absolutely laughable.

Love how Dana even knows it, given how he seemingly put the kibosh on a potential fight with Jones.
 
Maybe, maybe not. Jones didn't do great when a guy like Thiago Santos dared to keep throwing strikes at him.
