Jones hasn't fought at LHW in nearly 4 years, and he wasn't able to take down either Reyes or 1 leg Thiago in his last 2 there; fights he could have easily lost.
That people like you are thinking he is the same guy that fought Glover 10 years ago is laughable.
He's a slow plodding HW now that would die making the weight on top of looking past it for a while now.
His favourable matchup and one takedown of Gane exposing his white belt grappling that had already been on display prior does not make him the same Jones of 10 years ago. Not to mention the major surgery he'd be coming off now.
you know, i didn't even take this into account. this is a good point. is Jones even as good as he was 5 yrs ago when he was doing lackluster fights vs Anthony Smith and Santos? the Gane fight didn't really tell us much about Jon, it told us a whole lot about Gane though.
