Again, Reyes beat him on most media score cards and the majority of people in here thought Reyes won as well.
Aside from that, Jones is a very skilled fighter, but many of the guys he has fought weren't natural 205ers and let's not forget that Jones was on PEDs too, while fighting in a division which hasn't got exactly a big pool of talent (plus bigger fighters rely more on physicality in the gym than smaller ones, thus not paying as much attention to technique, which is another reason why smaller fighters on average are more technical than bigger guys.)
Vitor Belfort was a very good fighter, but yeah, Conor McGregor is better, if you ask me.
Conor has finishes over Holloway, Poirier, Mendes, Alvarez and Aldo.
Nate Diaz, despite being no world beater is a hard match up for Conor and had the size advantage against him as well (Conor fought at featherweight before).
Conor also managed to beat Diaz in their rematch, even if he didn't steamroll him, so there's that.
How Jones struggled with Santos?
I don't know, maybe by almost losing to him, despite Santos having been fighting with one knee since round one and being a fighter who's susceptible to wrestlers.
"By that dumb logic Santos struggled with Jones" - yeah, no sh*t Sherlock, an opponent Jones was supposed to dominate struggled with Jones, who barely won.
Reyes did zero damage? Sure thing pal, that must be one of the reasons why Jones immediately backed up when Reyes clipped him and all of a sudden desperately held on to Reyes legs with a takedown...
Also, how the f*ck is this supposed to look like Reyes "went through a meat grinder":
This ain't having "no scratches" either:
They both were fairly close in the damage they've done to each other, don't lie to yourself.
"It doesn't matter how impressive Jones looked against OSP, OSP didn't look impressive either and he lost."
Aside from the fact that one would expect the "greatest fighter of all time" to dominate St.Preux, you saying OSP didn't look impressive either makes Jones look even worse, do you realize that?
You're basically saying that Jones wasn't good in that fight, despite the fact that OSP didn't look good either.
You're right, Jones - at worst - was in close decisions, but the facts remain, that his strength of schedule is overblown, many guys he fought were undersized and he was on PEDs for a good time and when he wasn't, he "for some reason" looked way less impressive.
I wonder why that is...
GSP vs Hendricks was a coin flip.
Reyes vs Jones was also somewhat close, but is a pretty big robbery in the eyes of most. The difference is, that not only welterweight has a far bigger talentpool than 205, but also that Johny Hendricks was a more credentialed and better fighter than Dominick Reyes, and this is coming from someone who likes Reyes.
You can call me biased and all these other things as much as you want, but if you're looking into what i'm saying, you'll realize that i'm telling the truth and by the way, watch the video i've shown you, it'll clear a lot of things up.
Cheers.
