Jones is statistically a better striker than Adesanya

[Davidjacksonjones]

Jon is better full stop!
Also they are not the same height

100 percent. Jones would never get dominated, outstruck and run away like izzy did to Strickland

 

[chimpoehurricane]

Jones and Adesanya are the same height and similar reach. But for all Adesanya's kickboxing accolades and experience, Jones is statistically better everywhere standing.

Per the UFC site - Jones has much better defence. Adesanya absorbs twice as many significant strikes per minute as Jones, 3 vs 1.5. He has an overall striking defence rate of 56% compared to 67% for Jon.

Jones also has higher striking accuracy and a more much more diverse range of attacks. (Knees, spin kicks, elbows, oblique kicks)

Intangibles like cardio and chin also go to Jon.

Both in their primes, how would you see a stand up fight between them at LHW playing out?

Jones would shoot for his life.

 

[BangBang]

Jones hurts people. It’s kinda different

 

[Prince Nephilim]

Jones is a better MMArtist. Period.

 

[The XL]

Jon is better everywhere, including striking. Izzy is lucky that fight never happened because Jon would have mauled him.

 

[Yellowcrab]

Jon actually has a 4,5 reach advantage over Jizzy.
Eyepokes, TD threat...

Izzy isn't a great striker considering his height/reach advantages and neither is Jon. But Jones is a great wrestler and very versatile.
Izzy is 1-3 against Pereira, lost to Jan, lost to Strickland.
Lost to 5'10 Romero and looked bad vs 5'9 Gastelum till Kelvin totally gassed. I mean c'mon he had a 9 !! inch reach advantage over Gastelum.

His main weapon is his striking, yet he's a bad striker.

So let's play a little game : outside of Silva, name me a better MW than Izzy ?

 

[Wonderfight]

Better MMA striker, very important distinction. If Jones was allowed only to kickbox without elbows knees and grappling, his striking would fall off tremendously. And I still wouldn’t favor him in a stand up fight.

 

[Ibm]

Jones wins because hes a much bigger guy. If they were the same size,(with reach), Israel would win convincingly.

 

[Iroh]

Don't put too much trust in the stats. They aren't always reliable.

 

[Blue_Ribbon]

Jones by anything he wants.

 

[jackleeb]

Some quick MMA math proving Adesenya beats Jones:

- Jones loses to Reyes
- Reyes loses to Jiri
- Jiri loses to Pereira?
- Pereira loses to Izzy

Adesenya > Jones

Are you asking how would a fight go between a 225 pound GOAT vs a very good striker who weighs like 205?

No, I said striking only between them both at LHW

Strickland

 

[Yellowcrab]

Strickland

Currently yes but not career wise.

Strickland is currently better than Izzy until proven otherwise, but he's far behind Izzy in terms of achievements (so far).

 

[MigitAs]

Jones would beat his ass

Izzy would fold faster than Ciryl Gane once he was locked in the cage with the one true GOAT

 

[Megatronlee]

Izzy in his prime was an exciting fighter then he turned to a point fighter. This also kinda happened to Jones, but Jones was exciting longer. I think Jon would win based on wrestling ability. I don't see izzy stopping prime Jones takedowns

He just fought better guys

“Better striking defence” is laughable, unless obviously you love being poked in the eyes repeatedly.

can u please provide any proof of your claims?
let us see those violations jon has comitted

and lol at people who liked your post

 

[orca]

lmao dude you can only post 2 gifs?
jones has like 20 plus fights?
low iq bro?

 

[orca]

verdict
80 percent jones wins
20 percent izzy wins
and im being generous about that numbers
