Jones is laughing looking at the current LHW

[BigOlJeet]

Eye poking knee kicking Juiced Jones would be the favourite, clean Jones loses decisively.

 

[ermac88]

compared to bloated MWs and shot Pride legends?

All those bloated MWs

 

[ermac88]

First Jones was scared of Johnny Walker, then he was scared of heavyweight DC, then he was scared of Francis, then scared of Sergei Pavlovich, now he is scared of Tom Aspinall, and some even said he injured himself on purpose because he was scared of Stipe lol.

Moving up to HW because LHW fighters are getting bigger is one of the most hilarious things I have read lol

You dont have to look hard to find Jones was scared of Rashad, fighting Lytoto a second time (because Lyototo punched him).
Chael of course. Henderson. DC a 3rd time and Gus a second time. and of course he was scared of HW as well.

Jones has stayed shook his entire career according to the enlightened on Sherdog

Post USADA LHW Jones was a joke too though

Jon Jones was scared to fight Chael Sonnen on short notice

He only beat DC twice, if he was a real man he would beat him a third time but at heavyweight

 

[StonedLemur]

So, he decided to go fight guys bigger than him?

He has a speed advantage at HW tbf sir.

 

[StonedLemur]

I'd say between terrorizing his little daughters and drinking peach flavored Vodka

Can't forget the blow.

 

[StonedLemur]

Meanwhile, GSP is watching Colby get his third title shot.

Does anything make you more disgusted than that sir?

Divisions cycle

DJ makes easy work of pantoja
Prime gsp decisions leon.

 

[sanguinius]

gtfoh, dominick reyes made jon running for his life in the cage

alex ko him



is that why he lost to reyes and santos?

He submitted both of them in under 2 rounds.

 

[ThePatriot]

Just look at last title fight, Jiri and Alex .
What was that ?
One jumping around and throwing faints until he gets dropped , the other one stiff like a stick.
Cmon .
Jones would beat them both in the same night.

jones rarely finishes guys above 6 '2'', and often gets sus decisions when he has to fight someone his size

 

[Equinox Shadow]

Prime PED juiced Jones, would most certainly grapple and submit both Jiri and Alex.
...the Jones that lost 3 rounds to 2 to Reyes( but was gifted a decision) and turned tail and ran across the cage when Reyes started lighting him up, would lose to both Jiri and Alex.
...the Jones that showed up for the Reyes fight was a D version of Jones. Definitely not his A game. Jones would have to bring his A or B grappling game to beat Jiri or Alex.

[Athlas]

I see both of them posing significant problems for Jon TBH.

There's a reason he left LHW... the division is full of guys his size now. The division evolved and Jon's advantages were gone.

The division evolved, yet a guy Jones beat a decade earlier held the belt at light heavy not long ago.
Funny Glover Teixeira wasn't even considered a top Jones wins until ended Jan's reign.
Jones critics are funny.

 

[Luvhawky]

Guys with fairly limited skillsets.

In LHW you suddenly had the division full of big and fast guys with highly advanced striking who could defend TDs well. Jon doesn't have a history of beating guys like Jiri at all, at least easily. He fails to take him down as he did Gus, Reyes and Santos and then what? His striking isn't all that against 6ft4 opponents.

So, are you suggesting that a number of lhws would be the hw champ if they moved up but opt to fight at lhw?

 

[Luvhawky]

He has a speed advantage at HW tbf sir.

I’m not sure he does over guys like Aspinal. But his comparative speed advantage there improved overall. But I’m not sure I’m sold on guys got bigger so he went to fight bigger guys argument.

 

[StonedLemur]

Aspinall is an outlier tbf.

I don't know why Jon left lhw, but I personally thought he lost to Reyes.
He looked pretty awful against Thiago, so maybe he thought some extra weight/not cutting would help him.

Just my opinion of course sir.

 

[World eater]

Does anything make you more disgusted than that sir?

Currently, no. But let’s wait for Conor’s return to be sure.

 

[StonedLemur]

Currently, no. But let’s wait for Conor’s return to be sure.

I forget about the Irishman until someone brings him up lol.
Yeah that might make me more disgusted depending on wtf happens.

 

[AdamWarlock]

He submitted both of them in under 2 rounds.

ok so you are actually clueless about what happened

I agree with you that Jon would have beaten either one and probably in a dominant fashion against Pereira specifically. But, I think he still would have had a close fight with all around fighters like Rakic or Ankalaev. I think if you are comparing skill sets for skill sets, these two could be technically better than Jon. Having said that, I have never seen a fighter more comfortable and as dynamic as Jon. It's like he can see the fight going down as the third person. Jon was special.
