Big foot silva and Matt Mitrione would KTFO any version of Jones easily.

Fedor had ungodly speed in his hips as well. Even during that time you didn't really see other fighters pulling off armbars like that. Up until the Vitor fight I bet Jones hardly worried about getting subbed like that at all.All those attacks Fedor used to get on people like arm bars from bottom, sweeps, reversals, they don’t happen as much in elite MMA anymore for whatever reason. I’m not sure if it has to do with overall skill increasing or the opposite. It seems tactically safer to be a wrestler on top with GNP. Because of that, I would probably favor Jones in his prime. But it’s a tough fight either way. Fedor definitely beats current, fat Jones. In their primes, it’s kind of like GSP vs Silva in the sense of technical superiority, fighting safe and good defense vs speed, power, reflex, killer instinct etc. But idk, tough call.
Yeah his fans are adamant he was way past his prime by then..Fedor's coaches admitted he was slowing down by 11 tho, so who knows
Jones win over Gain looked like a work.

You mean a TRT Bigfoot who outweighed Fedor by 50-60 pounds? lol - That would be like Jose Aldo fighting Chael Sonnen.
Jones would be current Fedor (or any Fedor of the last 12 years) 10/10 times, but Prime Fedor beats any version of JJ 10/10 times.But this version of Fedor would beat the current version of Bones.

Also Bones has to be at his peak to win!
Quoted for sheer lunacy.Hilarious that we're still talking about this fat guy who got KOed by a 40 year old middleweight, nearly got KOed by Fujita, and nearly got submitted by Mark fucking Hunt(lmao) as the greatest at anything. Most overrated fighter in the history of combat sports, and by quite a comfortable margin.
I like where this thread is going.![]()
Bigfoot Silva was a freak show fighter. He sucked. He beat Fedor and then went 3-12-1 in MMA. The Bigfoot loss was worse than losing to a Middleweight.
And even though Vitor was almost Vitor "Gracie"
His ground game has always been... I'll try to say it nicely... God Awful.
If Fedor got an armbar in that deep. Zero chance anyone is getting out.
He had Hunt belly-down in an armbar and couldn't finish lol
Come on.....the Silva that fought Fedor was a juiced up 285 pound monster with a black belt in BJJ. He beat AA, Browne, and Reem. Went toe to toe with Hunt.....then popped for elevated test. Once he was forced off TRT he was nowhere near the same fighter that he was before that.
TRT Bigfoot was a forced to be reckoned with simply b/c of his size and cardio on test. AGain.....show me any dude who can get a BJJ black belt off of them when outweighed by 50-60 pounds.
Prime Jones got beaten and sent to the hospital during the peak of his steroid use by Alexander Gustaffson.
The same Gustaffson who went life and death with post double knee surgery Shogun just one fight prior to that.
According to the losers on this forum Gustaffson was better than prime, 27 year old Fedor.
You be the judge:
