What are the chances Jones gasses out?

[Drunken Blindness]

He wins this any way he wants. Usually.

After the time off, the potential bulk (I am not that caught up on it but caught some pics and innuendo) the excitement and adrenaline of being back, ring rust, the hype of the "return", and all the other parts coming together...


Anyone else see a chance that Jones gasses out in this fight?

I am not a Jones hater. I am not his biggest fan either. Like I said, usually I would say he wins this anyway he wants outside that lucky KO shot BUT all things considered I just wonder if he will come out strong in the first and start slowing down and we might see a different looking Jones by mid-second or third round?

Am I out of it here guys or is it a real chance?

 

[riitzni]

He's only looked gassed ever in two of the most grueling fights of his life against two guys that pushed him to the limits of his endurance. The man still dug deep for wins.

OSP ain't the guy to replicate that.

 

[Wizzlebiz]

He been training, and even slimming down muscle wize for this fight.

I just dont see him gassing.

 

[Shoot Boxe Hero]

Jones fights smart, he isn't going to go wild and gass himself out and Greg Jackson isn't going to let his top fighter come into the fight with bad cardio.

If anyone is going to gas this fight it will be OSP. I like OSP but his cardio has been inconsistent. He was slowing down in the Cummins fight and that didn't even go past round 1

0% chance
OSP is the one with the horrid gas tank.

Agreed. You are right.

I just wonder how all of the outside stuff will affect this. Don't get me wrong, I would never bet against Jones (I am not a gambling man anyways) BUT this time...just seems to be set up for the perfect storm where he comes in and just...gasses out and loses in an unexpectedly stupid fashion

 

[synyster]

OSP isnt gonna have the gas to make Jones gas naw mean..

 

[camelfarmer1]

I've never seen him gas and there's no reason to believe he will this time.

 

[Flokk]

Crazier things have happened.

 

[Me&MrJones]

He'll gas and OSP will get his hands raised according to the script.

 

[fiftywattmafia]

OSP won't keep the fight going long enough for us to find out unless he gets on the bike for a good long ride.

Still, can't wait to see this fight. Like him or hate him the UFC and the sport is better with Jon Jones active and in the cage...

 

[MachidaNo1Fan]

The problem is that OSP will gas with him... or before him. lol

 

[TheScorpionDude]

He will gas quicker that usual 100%. Happens to almost everyone coming off a layoff. His everything will be a bit off.

Luckily for Jones, OSP will probably gas even faster.

 

[MayhemMonkey]

why isnt this thread about Conor?




na but seriously, he might. he's never competed with as much muscle mass. it will be interesting to see the fight on saturday

 

[Deleted member 429453]

Yes will gas if osp survives initial beating

 

[Phronimos]

I would say 10% chance of Jones gassing. It is possible, but unlikely.

 

[Rozko]

He will not be suplexing OSP for 10 minutes and throwing all kinds of random spinning shit for fun like he did against Bonnar. That is the only way he will gas in this fight.

 

[Future GOAT]

The chances of Jones gassing out in this fight are about the same as the chances of OSP putting on a marathon of non stop action and destruction of Jones for 5 rounds and then finishing by him brutally knocking Jones out.

He's more likely to get blitzed and finished than getting out cardioed by OSP.
