Romero vs Jones?

This was a great moment and I want to like the gif but remind us, how long ago was that?

UFC 12 1998

Jones' reach + chin + wrestling + strength is too much. Cormier is an Olympic wrestler who's undefeated in MMA at HW...and he couldn't beat Jones. Plus Jones can take Romero down...something Rockhold couldn't do.

.... you mean something Rockhold couldn't do in 0 attempts? lol

Jones would literally kick the shit out of him. Yoel doesn't make it within 4 feet of Bones without getting his legs, body and/or head smashed with kicks. After Yoel gasses (mid-way through round 2), Jones takes him down and pounds him out with ease. Horrible match up for Yoel.

Are tainted supplements allowed in this hypothetical match?

Obviously Rockhold didn't like his chances of securing a TD and keeping Romero down. I mean Luke only has the most destructive top control at MW, so that would probably be his gameplan if weren't facing an Olympic wrestler. But hey, I realize common sense and reading between the lines is in short supply here...

Before we praise Jon too much, maybe we should wait till we see him fight without his chemical enhancements first.

Jones is too long and would chew up Romero's knees from a safe distance.

Unless we ever get to see what a clean Jones is like and if its easier to get inside and dominate a clean Jones in the clinch.

Unfortunately Jones just can't stop cheating for us know to what a clean Jones can do.

I'd rather see Yoel vs jones then jones vs D.C. Again

Jones would probably be able to grind out Romero and sub him. I can also see him kicking the shit out of Romero's body to gas him.

BUT Romero can also KO him out of nowhere by timing a flying knee during one of Jones' takedowns or by going in with a kill shot. Jones is surprisingly hittable for someone who uses his length so well, but he definitely has a chin. If Romero stays super patient and waits for a kill shot he can do it.
