Alex will walk Jones down, hunt him, find the chin and deliver us the greatest moment the sport has ever seen. Even geriatric Stipe was landing on Jon and had that clean uppercut. If that's Pereira, he's going to sleep right then and there.

At this age Jones isn't going to be quick enough to impose wrestling at will and Pereira has developed a solid defensive ground game as well. I just don't see Jones surviving five rounds against this killer...
 
Stipe was landing because Jones could not wrestlefuck him like he did to Gane

Jones would absolutely wrestle Pereira.
He chucked Stipe on his head what do you mean.
He didn't wrestle because he knew he had a stand up advantage against a shop worn ancient Stipe and didn't have to risk tearing his titty like he did against the mighty Maurice Greene.

Poatan better start hitting that finger like Dom did <lmao>
 
IF he can keep it standing for an appreciable amount of time, that may be possible, though Jones has shown an insane chin over the years.

But Alex definitely has not faced anyone with Jon's level of MMA wrestling and TD timing.

Nothing would make me happier than to see Poatan be the guy to crack Juiceheads chin though.

Alex has lost in two separate weight categories in the UFC. That is not to say anything other than that he is beatable, so it is definitely not a foregone conclusion that he could beat Jones. Jones also has a number of different ways to beat him, whereas I see Alex having only one way to be Jones- pretty much as you described.

That said, what you described is a good reason why the fight would be huge, and what I described is a good reason why Jones may actually consider it. It doesn't hurt that both are 38 and absolute legends in their own right.

Jones detractor, I wish it would be so, but I quit hoping for Jones to finally get his bad karma long ago. Jones is still technically undefeated for a reason, add he’s not going to half ass his last fight and come in with an airtight game plan.
 
1) Alex hasnt fought anyone near Jones in the rassling department.

2) Jones hasnt fought such an experienced striker with devastating KO power.

3) Usually the rasslers are favored in this matchup, as we see it a lot.

4) Alex is pretty active, Jones aint. At all. Alex is hungry, Jones? I really cant say, it seems he aint.

With that said, if they fight, Jones would be the favorite in theory (3), but momentum/hunger (4) is too important to ignore. I will have to lean towards Alex being the first person to finish Jon. Unless they fix it to be a decision.

If Alex trains for eyepoke defense and comes in at least 70%, Jones is getting sent to Bolivian

Dude Pereira got taken down by Adesanya

Meanwhile Jones has taken down DC

The bookies have Jones as a -900 favorite & for good reason imo


That doesn’t mean he can’t get clipped & credit to Alex for the callout & for his last performance but even at his age Jones is a pretty mad matchup for Pereira

Jones would absolutely wrestle Pereira.

Stipe was landing bc he has good boxing. Let’s not forget that this is the UFC HW GOAT that we’re talking about, even if he was a mummy.

Jones has always had a hard time wrestling tall guys--Reyes and Gus have very limited grappling, yet Jones couldn't get the leverage to take them down.
 
It’s a dangerous fight for Jones. If you disagree, you’re just lying to yourself or feathering the fall in case he pulls it off - then “oh we knew he was going to win easily. He was supposed to do that.”
Pereira has everything people have been saying would expose Jones for years.
