Why isn't George Roop dominating his division like Bones?

[mma midwest fan]

He has a long frame and a good reach advantage? Shouldn't this be the only ingredient to success according to many Jones critics?

This hasn't been discussed to death.

Solid baiting though, I can tell you're a forum pro.

Jones is far more diverse in his attacks. He can wrestle, strike in various ways, and has shown to have very impressive defensive BJJ.

Roop keeps his hands tremendously low, and tends to walk into shots consistently (Rivera, Font.) He also has a much weaker gas tank. The win over Bowles was pretty damn impressive though.

Felt like actually answering a question for once.

because he's white.

because he's white.

For as many actual threads like this that I've seen..... I've very rarely ever seen someone post that Jones has absolutely no skill and solely benefits from height and reach.

You know what DJ posted on his twitter the other day?

Being the biggest guy doesn't make you the best, not even in training.

 

[hasar]

Jones is skilled fighter.

Racism...

No, I don't.

I didn't think so.

God, I hate what music has become.

Because even with Jones's frame, he still manages to be explosive and athletic, while George Roop is hindered by it.

 

[Scuba]

no wrestling

Once he learns to implement the finger poke effectively, the eyes the limit

 

[KR811**]

It's fair when white fighters have physical "advantages".

 

[Tos]

Eye pokes

 

[chiefwiggum]

Uncoordinated and moves like a zombie?

 

[JKS]

Because Jones is actually a top level fighter

I'm a Jones fan, but I have to respect the solid double entendre you laid out here. If I knew how to imbed gifs, I'd do the one of Shia Lebouf clapping after "The Shia Lebouf Song" (if you haven't seen it, youtube it and has a good time). Well typed, Sir

Racist.

LOL. I'm not sure why but I found this funny.
