Vitor was closest to beat JBJ

[cumafish]

Gus won. Chael almost won.

 

[Seabeast]

If GUS won you are saying AJ has the belt now?

Sure why not.

 

[Seabeast]

I understand that JJ got the decision doesn't change the fact that I thought Gus won the fight.

 

[Mixed]

He definitely injured him. Biggest injury of his career.

In order of closest to victory:

1-Hamill
2-Chael
3-Vitor
4-Gus
5-Machida
6-DC
7-Glover
8-Bonnar
9-Vera
10-Vlad
11-Rampage
12-Bader
13-O'Brien
14-Shogun

Suga didn't really fight, so I left that one out.

He finished like 9 of those guys. Its a testament to Bones' greatness that even when Vitor gets him in an arm bar or when Gus gives him hell for 5 rounds he still finds a way to win.

The closest Bones came to losing his belt is when he degloved his big toe against Chael and the ref didn't notice and he had to finish the fight right then and there or it would be stopped by the doc at the end of the round. He literally had to turn it up a notch and finish basically on demand, immediately.

 

[Klippy]

no one was close.. they all got fucked.

 

[Fedorgasm]

nope. chael was.

Yup. Wasn't Chael something like 10 seconds away from the end of the round? I remember it was close. If only he could have held out...

lol no.
(Re)watch the Bonnar fight. It was pretty close. And you put that behind Teixeira and Cormier (clear wins for Jones).
The Bonnar fight was a close 29-28.

And where is Andre Gusmao?

 

[martinez505]

[MusterX]

gus came the closest vitor did ok tho

Chael was seconds from winning via injury.

 

[Drake]

[martinez505]

it's fine to say you wished/hoped/ believed that he won...but he didn't and that is a fact not an opinion.

like the fact is that Chael was the closest to taking Jon's belt.

 

[MattyPeq]

lol no.

I'll quote myself lol

From Jones' twitter. There you go:

Gus Bonner Victor “@brewski4broski: @JonnyBones In order, who were your 3 toughest opponents so far?”

Bonner... Victor... LOL

 

[MusterX]

chale was no were near close don't know what fight yall seen

It was the one where Bones almost ripped his big toe off and had to finish Chael immediately or lose the fight due to injury.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Hamill actually won.

Perfect but I would put Evans above Vera.

 

[cumafish]

since you are "new" here I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
here's a pic of Jone's toe that he(Jon himself) damn near ripped off in the 1st round.

if Chael made it out of the 1st the fight would have been stopped and Chael would have won via TKO-injury.

Gus Bonner Victor

True
Bonnar & Vera were actually more dangerous in those fight than Teixeira/Rashad.

Bonnar made Jones gas
Vera did some sneaky sub attempts on Jones
Have to say that Jones didnt do the eyepoke so much back then, if he did it against Bonnar & Vera it might have looked very different.
