jones never tried to take him down, but he should have. Fight was very close and he could have lost for sure

Jones landed one elbow thats it everything else was pitter patter. Everything Santos landed had power on it whilst his jnee was fucked.

Waited for a gassing that never came and was too cautious to go for the kill.
Cos he knew in close he could get caught due to the speed difference.

Similar to AJ v Ruiz but AJ wasn't smart and rushed in wild rather than being calculated and precise once he had him hurt.

Santos needs a couple inches in height and reach. All that skill and power but the reach really gives Jones so much benefit in being hard to hit.
Jones' reach is one of, if not, his biggest physical advantage. If this was boxing and Jones had equivalent boxing skill as he does MMA skill, he would be literally impossible to beat...

He just won literally the thinnest decision possible against a guy with one leg.

his odd head movment was very effective tonight. I saw him go straight back a few times in the first but he fixed that quick
