Prediction: Jones is unable to take down Gane, and Jones gets KO'd

[Viper2]

I predict Jones will be unable to take down Gane due to lack of strength (Jones doesn't have Ngannou-level strength at all). Gane will keep the match standing and outdo Jones in striking and evasion skills. Eventually Jones will get exhausted and get KO'd by Gane.

That's why this fight is so intriguing. There's no telling how Jon is going to look in the HW division

Maybe or Jones will just take Gane down like Ngannou did with his bad knees. I don't think Jones will want to stand very long with Gane.

I doubt that Jones will carry anything over to heavy weight. He will get beat up and retire.

You don’t need to watch. I’m telling you r right now that Jones will lose.

I approve of this prediction. Absolutely no clue how likely it is though.

 

[Leinster Rugby]

Honestly don't know. Just looking forward to the fight.

Thank god Jones is a reliable, sensible character and there isn't a list of 6 or 7 ridiculous things he could do to wreck the fight before it even happens.

 

[The_Renaissance]

I see no reason to think Jones doesn't easily take him down.

 

[HatKick]

That's what I think too. Gane has been working hard on his TDD since the Ngannou fight and I think it will show. He's talented enough to make huge improvements in 1 year (+a couple of months). I mean he made it to a title shot like 4 years after he started training.

Of course I could be completely wrong. Definitely NOT betting on this one.

 

[DoubleTrouble]

I think Jones will look terrible at HW. Sitting on the sidelines for 3 years and having to put on weight to fight when you already looked terrible at LHW doesn't add up to being a killer at HW.

I think Jones will look terrible at HW. Sitting on the sidelines for 3 years and having to put on weight to fight when you already looked terrible at LHW doesn't add up to being a killer at HW.

The talent is also watered down at hw.

This.

If a 98 year old with two mangled knees can. Jon Jones can. A year of improvement still wont be enough

 

[BakaSurvivor]

Gane had issues with Francis wrestling.

Jones will take him down.

 

[Emjay]

Gane had issues with Francis wrestling.

Jones had trouble taking down LHWs in last couple of fights.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Very safe prediction

 

[RockyLockridge]

You don’t need to watch. I’m telling you r right now that Jones will lose.

If he can barely beat people his size at lhw why would he beat people bigger than him at hw?

 

[sonhow]

Id be a funny sight. Jones knocking himself out going for a takedown that is. Adds to his already cartoonish character.

 

[Xoleth]

I see it the other way
If a guy like Ngannou, with low grappling skills, could takedown Gane, why wouldn't Jones, who took down DC & others?

Like it or not, Gane is an easy win, because of his wresting... or lack or wrestling.
Great striker for HW, better than Jones, but the guy was kept down by Ngannou.

Blaydes is a worse match up for Jones.
Aspinall also.
Even Pavlovich has some wrestling background.

 

[moreorless87]

Not sure about KOed but I think Gane's jab will likely cause him massive problems.
