I agree TS. One of the few guys who even has a chance.
I don't think you know what your watchingIf Yoel was a dominant MW, you could have a case, but he is not a dominant mw. He is not even the champ, even if he got a few tries. He often struggle in his fights. Jones is not Brunson or Whittaker or Jacare or Kennedy... And Yoel struggled with all of them.
Jones is the scariest fighter in the UFC at the moment.
For some reason a lot of people believe Yoel is a dominant fighter. I suspect it is because of his big muscles, And the record they see at Wikipedia. They should watch his fights.I don't think you know what you're watching
I'll leave it at that

I have seem them all. Great fighter, but not very dominant. He does However have some really impressive come from behind Wins.I think you should watch his fights
Nothing to do with the fact that he's the best wrestler and athlete we've ever had in MMAFor some reason a lot of people believe Yoel is a dominant fighter. I suspect it is because of his big muscles, And the record they see at Wikipedia. They should watch his fights.
His style Is not the dominate the fight from start to finish. He has to be far wiser with his energy. He's a patient fighter with high fight IQ. He waits for the perfect moment to strike and end the fight. He lulls you Into a false sense of security.I have seem them all. Great fighter, but not very dominant. He does However have some really impressive come from behind Wins.
There are new comers. Nothing is permanent. Even the great Silva eventually ran into buzz sawsYoel prob walks at like 220
He'd be a reasonably sized LHW, height and reach aside.
But yeah, high likelihood of a Jones decision.
he beats everyone tho, Yoel has a better shot than most. I'd argue even better than DC
There aren't many Interesting fights left for Jones, Yoel is def one of them.

No, not at all. He is a good fighter, And him exploding, And coming from behind is always fun And impressive... but I doubt he survives a round vs Jones. He struggles with a lot of mws, And Jones is miles ahead of Brundon or Whittaker. That is why I think it is silly for a mw to try And fight him. Especially when he is not even champ.Nothing to do with the fact that he's the best wrestler and athlete we've ever had in MMA
that he can literally end the fight against anyone at a moments notice
Yoel doesn't necessarily "dominate", he paces himself, he's patient and he waits for the perfect moment. Then he just explodes and destroys you. In that sense, he is very scary.
Yoel Is stylistically a tough opponent for literally anyone in MMA throughout history at any weight class
You're making It sound like hes a bum or something.

Jones isn’t the kind of guy to lose to a Flash KO. He is However the kind of guy to take advantage of a slow starter.It's because he hurts people.
He's great but not the best and dangerous but not someone who would ever hold a title for long.
I don't think you quite see the bigger picture my friend, to me this analysis is just weak and short sighted. I don't think he would beat Jones for the record, but you are not giving Yoel anywhere near the credit he deserves.No, not at all.

Yep, age will be his undoing, That’s if he remains clean and continues to fight.Yeah
As of now, It seems like age will be the thing that beats Jones though.
