Jones unlikely to take Gane down and hold him there. Jones doesn't have Ngannou strength.

[Poirierfan]

He’ll take him down. 100% Gane is going to eat elbows. LOL at Ngannou

Nah

 

[r-harper-1]

Sure, but that argument doesn't have any validity until after the loss actually happens. You might as well have said 10 years ago that Jones was going to lose against Sonnen, because "he wins until he doesn't." It would have sounded foolish then, and it sounds foolish now.

Doesn’t sound foolish coming off two unimpressive performances….a long layoff and a new weight class …..Plus a very dangerous opponent

 

[Rider on the Storm]

He has the bigger frame, and he weighed more.

This site is strange, 'mirin action figure muscles and over looking what actually matters

What matters is that Gane is huge and lean at the same time. He is a big natural heavyweight. When they are in the cage tonight, Gane will be the bigger stronger man.

Jones is in trouble. Gane will probably drop him with an elbow in the clinch and then finish him in the first round.

 

[John the Barbarian]

Like I said, Jones is actually the bigger guy. Reading is fundamental.

He weighed a half a pound more than Ciryl cause he self admittingly drank a whole bunch of water beforehand. lol He's been fighting Lightheavy his entire career and mentions how he lost his 6 pack in gaining weight while Cirly is shredded at the same weight.

He's literally the "smaller guy" coming up to a heavier weight class lmao

Not sure about stronger ….

 

[John the Barbarian]

He said strengtth, not weoght. I guess Reading is fundamental and understanding is not

Weight classes in combat sports = STRENGTH advantage booboo, that's why they exist in the first place. Do you really not understand that?

All these predictions that Jones will take Gane down, hold him down, and either TKO or submit Gane there are moronic. No way Jones takes Gane down for more than a split second (if at all), and when they are standing Gane is gonna light Jones up. Jones has no where near Ngannou strength to hold Gane down.

My opinion is you are right. Jones looks terrible I doubt this goes well for him.

 

[abject]

its called muscle to fat ratio
sometimes u need fat
more muscles the more fuel u needed .will make u gas quicker
dont you even know this basic thing?

You cant really access this fat during a fight. The process of converting this to useable energy takes too long. You really should learn before talking.

 

[abject]

OK sister. You know the internet is forever right? Maybe just take the L next time instead of making yourself further look like a moron (as if that were possible.

Jones has a clearly higher body fat percentage than when he fought at lhw. How can you not understand this. Your claims that Jones is the same size as Ngannou show a deep seated need for and education. You need to move on. You're embarassing yourself now.

Skill mf! You're gonna learn somethin' tonight!

Jones is just a much better fighter overall. The only way I see him losing this fight is if at age 35 he suddenly got old overnight. But I don’t expect that to happen.

The hand fighting and sweep Jones did on Bo Nickal, a grappling legend, shows just how advanced his MMA game is compared to everyone else, besides Cormier or whatver. Jones is so much more technical than people give him credit for, though I agree, his reach and height advantage over previous opponents certainly helped.

Good thing wrestling doesn't require strength .. phew ..


For a second there T.S almost had a point...

 

[GoshiShun17]

Winning close fights does not mean you are past your prime. Too many people around here look at this shit like it’s a goddamn video game. Every great fighter in both boxing and mixed martial arts had very close fights, wars, that’s the game.

That's true but we are also talking about a 36 year old with mucho mileage. And he's coming off a layoff, fighting heavier than he's ever fought.

Gane is fresh, kinda like Jones when he fought Shogun. Jon would literally be like the LeBron of MMA if he is still in top from the age of 20 all the way to 36. So far that person doesn't exist in mma.

 

[Fergelmince]

So why couldnt he do it to reyes or santos?

Because he trained on cocaine and hookers ever since the last time he made cormier cry.

Yeah, he’s the much smaller guy even though they weight the same. Heavyweights don’t cut. Don’t drink and post.

Bro, just admit you sound like a moron with that 60 lb thing and move on.

 

[Glove]

Gane needs to knock Jones out if he wants to win because if its close its going to Jones seeing the UF finds him far more profitable to market than Gane. I think Jones evidently takes him down but im calling shenanigans in this match, i dont know why but something tells me this wont be an "honest" fight. Could be dead wrong however.

Well we will know soon enough..

All for the bargain basement price of 80 bucks.. Thanks Dana..

Didnt Ngannau take down Stipe?

I think it would be foolish for any MMA fighter to not be training wrestling a ton even if they dont use it offensively often in fights.

 

[HP_Nut]

Jones fight IQ is off the charts, I believe he took the fight fully believing he will be able to takedown Gane if needed. I think Jones didn't like the Francis fight because of the higher risk of losing consciousness, combined with he may not have felt confident he can take it to the ground if needed.
