Which fighters (regardless of weightclass) could've fought Jon Jones UFC fights undefeated

[BrockLesnarsTurtleBack]

A fighter has to clear this gauntlet undefeated. Which could do that in their prime?

Stephan Bonnar
Jake O’Brien
Brandon Vera
Vladimir Matyushenko
Ryan Bader
Maurício Rua
Quinton Jackson
Lyoto Machida
Rashad Evans
Vitor Belfort
Chael Sonnen
Alexander Gustafsson
Glover Teixeira
Daniel Cormier
Ovince Saint Preux
Alexander Gustafsson
Anthony Smith
Thiago Santos
Dominick Reyes
Ciryl Gane
Stipe Miocic


IMO

Fedor Emelianenko
Cain Velazquez (if healthy)
Stipe Miocic (50-50 against DC)
Khamzat Chimaev (ragdolls nearly everyone, honestly would love to see him vs Prime DC go at it)
Francis Ngannou (easy win against everyone not named DC)

Your thoughts? Any additions?

 

[dipstickjimmy]

Roided and eye pokes OK?

 

[Here's Johnny!]

Why are you including Heavyweights? even then... none.. the (if healthy) on cain is part of what made it so crazy that he did it... I am not even a Jones fan but that is ridiculous...

I honestly don't think any of the individuals you posted could beat them all in a row without injury in the time it was done. Fedor has the best shot... but I think if Fedor has to fight at 205 DC mauls him... Gustafson also I think beats fedor at 205... Prime Rashad, Quinton, Shogun, Machida all have a shot at beating anyone all time. TRT Vitor destroyed Dan Henderson who knocked out Fedor...

its not could anyone beat all of these fighters... it is can anyone beat them all in a row without a loss... noone.. the closes chance is Fedor because he also had a run of 20 wins in a row without an injury... but its a LOT weaker..

do you think Jones could beat these fighters in a row:

Schilt
Herring
Big Nog
Velavicius
Fujita
Goodridge
Nagata
Coleman
Randleman
Ogawa
Big Nog again
Kohsaka
Crocop
Zulzinho
Coleman again
Hunt
Lindland(MW)
Hung man Choi
Tim Silvia
Arlovski
Rogers.


This is much easier to give a list of guys that could make that run... DC easily, your mystical undamaged Cain, Stipe, probably not Francis I think he would get tapped a couple times... in comparison to today most of those guys can't crack top ten.

 

[Here's Johnny!]

Roided and eye pokes OK?

every fighter had the ability to roid and use eye pokes.. nobody had Jones run and it isn't close.

 

[Ozze]

Original Fedor, Black Fedor (DC) and Mexican Fedor (Cain).

just to be a dick... Stephan Bonnar would be favored against at least half of the list for Fedor... Brandon Vera has a win over a young Frank Mir who beat half the guys Fedor beat. Those are Jones worst wins on the list.

Who else did they move a card for so that a commission would allow the fighter to compete when they tested positive? Nobody had Jones run but nobody cheats even when Jon had all the other advantages. Youth, height, reach and he still has to use PEDs, and eye pokes.

Such an idiotic thing to say. Jones didn’t eye poke every opponent nor was he ever down in a fight and needed to eye poke to gain an advantage. He also didn’t test positive for the majority of his career.

Keep reaching for excuses tho, you HAVE to tell yourself something

 

[SuperNerd]

Tomathan Aspinalls

 

[Hdfi]

I wouldn't bet on any of these guys against prime Aspinall, Fedor, Ngannou, Cain, Stipe (prime Stipe would beat his older version), Overeem.

 

[BrockLesnarsTurtleBack]

Tomathan Aspinalls

Well he admitted prime DC beats him

 

[SuperNerd]

Well he admitted prime DC beats him

Tomathan is gentlemen

 

[Hdfi]

Well he admitted prime DC beats him

he said he would be a bad stylistic matchup, but he believes he would win anyway. And I'm not sure Jones faced DC at his real prime. He was 35 in the first fight and 38 in the second...

So he didn't cheat in all of his fights. That's a pretty sad flex.

 

[Dr. Rose]

I think Shogun who won the GP could have gone on a similar run, if (and this is a big if) he stayed healthy.

 

[icemun]

DC is the only answer.

 

[Here's Johnny!]

DC is the only answer.

Dc could beat everyone Jones beat but Jones beat him
DC could also best everyone Fedor beat... it is what it is

 

[Barney Gumble]

Original Fedor, Black Fedor (DC) and Mexican Fedor (Cain).

Yes, Jones easily beats that list. Its a much worse list.

 

[loisestrad]

Prime Stipe vs out of prime Stipe is the fight I'm looking forward to the most.
