Will the pressure get to Jon Jones ?

[NumeroUno]

Not fighting in over a year, all the legal troubles, short notice opponent who's a legitimate threat with knockout power. Will all of this affect him beating OSP?

 

[Rittsy]

If he losers, it isn't going to pressure that knocks him out.

 

[dragonsfly]

one thing I know is that he use to fight under inhumane scrutiny and when there is alot of spotlight the stakes are high so he has adapted to fighting in high pressure since he has been involved in alot of grudge matchs aswell

 

[Ceez]

Thats a great question and one that everyone is waiting to see. He has been in much bigger fights though so i would worry more about being overconfident and looking past osp. He shouldnt be focused on dc anymore now tgat hes not facing him and focus completely on this fight

 

[cgold21]

Probably not...

This could become an issue imo overconfience and overlooking your opponent. he should only focus on OSP and forget about DC for the foreseeable future

 

[soulsstealer]

yes the pressure will build and he will do cocaine.

Seems like smart money may be on OSP, fighters usually underperform with long layoffs. The odds will be heavily in Jon's favor so I may bet on OSP for the upset...

No OSP is going straight to the floor and getting choked or something dislocated it's that simple, he can't trade punches with this guy because he has one shot knock out power Jones does not have that he has volume. Jones can submit OSP's no wrestling ass quickly

The opposite of smart money, is to bet AGAINST Jon Jones.

 

[Leinster Rugby]

It never has before...

 

[SherdogGoat]

no

I'd normally say yes, but Jon is kinda crazy. I don't think he gives a f*ck

Why do you say no wrestling? OSP is a wrestler.

Currently 7:1 I believe

He is a football player but since you are very uneducated about OSP go watch OSP vs Glover Teixeira and after that go to the bottom of the page and give your opinion about his wrestling and when I say the bottom I mean the box my name is not beside where most people put their opinions. Can you do that for me please ? Thanks

Jon jones isnt ronda rousey. Save your money.

Please do not put all that hype into OSP's KO-power, Shugun lost his chin in the ward with Henderson. Jones has faced and taken shots by much harder hitters.

 

[Bacco]

Jones seem one of these that don't feel pressure in the cage

 

[Mochan]

The real issue here is the 1 year layoff. All the other things are non-issues really.

And even then the layoff might not be all that much a problem for Jones.
