Media Jones looks tiny next to gane. Gane will rag doll him.

[CrimsomSky]

Jones did look him up and down like he was about to ask Gane for his number though sir lol.

Lol jones is gender fluid now? Maybe he’s tired of winning fights against his wife so he’s sizing Gane to see if it’s worth inviting him over for a domestic fight in the living room.

 

[WalterSobchak]

I don’t think he looks shook at all.

 

[linvillegorge]

I know but if he can touch him,he can make shit happen.

IMO, the threats he offers to Gane standing are his kicks at range and his elbows inside. I really don't think a kickboxer of Gane's caliber has a lot of concerns with Jones' striking at range. Gane's game plan has to be revolving around avoiding the clinch and the ground.

 

[kahiljabroni]

Ganes bigger but not by a ton. Jones is actually a tweener..220 should be his class

 

[linvillegorge]

True. But we don't know for sure either.

We don't know how good Jone's wrestling is now. Or his speed. Or his cardio. Or his strength. We don't know a lot of things.

I know one thing. Jones in his prime was arguably best mma wrestler of all time. But his wrestling hasn't looked good in years before a three year lay off. So where does it leave us? No one can know for sure.

Yeah, I feel like a lot of folks are just completely overlooking that Jones is coming off of a three year layoff and hasn't exactly looked like Jon Jones in his last few fights prior to the layoff. I have no idea what to expect out of Jones.

Looks like a couple of 6’4 HWs about to weigh in at 245-250. Literally no size difference.

 

[idlePulse]

Any solid examples of Gane exhibiting a high level of strength?
With them both being so good, and Gane being the larger man, I really think it comes down to who is physically stronger -- and by how much.
Jones' technique and experience can only get him so far if he's unable to really physically impose himself on his opponent. (since we're all assuming his only chance to win is via wrestling)

 

[Istryker]

John was trying to act like he was sizing up Gane and finding him lacking. Gane didnt give a shit. John looked serious facing the crowd.

Well maybe he should start giving a shit… Hoping he actually wins a big one for once. This happy to be there attitude is getting old and quick.

New pic of Jon

 

[Istryker]

True heavyweight vs LHW on big mac dirty bulk!

<45><45><45>

 

[IIIIIIII]

gane looked taller, which surprised the hell out of me. could be the shoes. who knows.

 

[JustOnce]

Yeah, I feel like a lot of folks are just completely overlooking that Jones is coming off of a three year layoff and hasn't exactly looked like Jon Jones in his last few fights prior to the layoff. I have no idea what to expect out of Jones.

Me neither, we will see how he looks soon. I think it's just that he's been dominant for so long.

 

[StewieG]

The difference in size isn’t too much for technique not to matter. In order for technique not to matter is if you make Cyril gane an adult silverback gorilla, adult lion, adult elephant, the hulk, etc.

 

[orca]

so a guy that cant defend takedown against nganou gonna rogdall one of the best wrestlers?eheh

 

[StonedLemur]

Lol

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Another angle … man I don’t know what Jon was thinking taking this fight ….

He doesn't even look much smaller. Quit being dramatic

 

[FedorGOAT]

gane looked taller, which surprised the hell out of me. could be the shoes. who knows.

Before every other fight he was listed 6'5''. Surprisingly, starting this fight everywhere he is listed as 6'4''. I think 6'5'' is the right one.

 

[FedorGOAT]

He doesn't even look much smaller. Quit being dramatic

Really? You don't see the size difference in their frames & that 1 inch in height for Cyril?

 

[AndrewGolota48]

Didn't look like a huge difference to me, but it was a different to see Jones at a head size disadvantage because I'm so used to him having the larger cranium at LHW.

 

[linvillegorge]

Me neither, we will see how he looks soon. I think it's just that he's been dominant for so long.

But he hasn't been dominant in his recent fights and those fights were 3+ years ago. I'm just surprised that seemingly everyone expects him to come back and look amazing. Maybe GAP coming back to move up and take out Bisping makes them assume Jones will basically do the same.
