Jon Jones has only lost 1 round

[member 3289]

in his entire career. The first round against Gustafsson.

Many people gave Gus the second and/or third rounds as well, but those were razor close and can easily be argued as going to Jones (remember one judge scored it 49-46 for Jones).

The same argument can be made for the second round of the DC fight. I personally scored that fight 50-45 for Bones.

This guy is doing stuff that GSP, Anderson, and Fedor could never dream of. I don't know why he isn't considered the unanimous GOAT.

There is only one @teamquestnorth. Gonna have to step it up if you wanna play in his world.

I did but I also said those rounds could've easily gone the other way.

The only round he's ever lost clearly was R1 against Gus

 

[Pitbull9]

I gave Gus 1,2,3 no joke. I literally stood up and said AND NEW when they were announcing the decision. I was so sure he won those rounds.

And Rd4.

If you include the 3 rounds he lost to DC and the round he lost to Machida it brings it up to 8.

you taking DC in rematch? If so, .......

 

[teamquestnorth]

Dont forget Chael put him in the hospital too. Jones had to get carried out

 

[Priziesthorse]

You just hangout in the fight night threads. I don't think you have actually watched a UFC fight in the last 5 years.

JBJ is the current G.O.A.T..there's a 8 year old kid training right now that will be the future G.O.A.T... It will go Fedor,JBJ,and so on

Jones is incredible. I say one difference between his career and GSP is timing though. George was dominating WWs toughest in their prime for the most part, guys like Hughes X2, Trigg, Koshcheck X2, Condit, Hendricks, Alves, Fitch, Shields, Diaz were still is good as ever when they fought him ( Penn and Sherk were good wins but shouldn't be fighting guys like GSP at WW).

Jon has destroyed so many guys but I'd like to think we can agree that some of those LWHs were on the downside like Shogun, Janitor or Rampage. Gotta admit that the old new Vitor all jacked up looked good in that fight so props to Jon for the victory over that old school guy. Also guys like Machida who went to MW after and Sonnen who's got no business at LHW don't really do much for me. IMO Jons best wins are Rashad, Gus, DC and Vitor.

If Jon keeps it up I think his timing for a potential move to the HW division could play out very well to him as well. The combination of his abilities along with how HW hasn't changed much in a decade will make his possible move work great.

No way the MMA GOAT will ever be unanimously agreed upon so let the heated arguments begin!

1. JBJ
2. Anderson Silva
3. GSP

That's IMO. Jon Jones is the greatest talent we have seen in MMA thus far.

did not dominate Hendricks and arguably lost that fight.

Agreed, I got carried away. I thought he won but dominate he did not.

 

[La Paix]

@Wild could you tell us about your Anderson Silva consideration for being GOAT?

Name? You got a son I don't know about?

I thought GSP showed guts in the Hendricks fight and I think he won 3-2. But Bird is right GSP fought in a very tough division and largely dominated.

Although I do disagree about Shogun being on the slide, as he was 205lb champ at the time and was coming off of (what should have been) two decisive victories over Lyoto.

Shogun indeed was the guy to beat but the belt was a hot potatoe then. It's his knee surgeries that make me say he was sliding by then, Jon fucked him up bad.

Proud of you for not mentioning Aaron Pico as a potential future GOAT.

And Rd4.

I didn't know there was a crack problem in Leprechaun Land.

Look, and I hope this is the last time I have to say this, but Gus didn't fucking win R4. He did not.

I don't care if he was winning the first 4:20 of the round or that it was his best round of the fight. He caught that spinning back elbow (the most effective strike from either fighter for the entire fight) and it had him on Queer Street. He was very, very dazed.

If the round had ended with only that elbow, I would agree that Gus possibly won it. But then after that, JBJ landed multiple strikes on his badly wounded opponent.

This "Gus won the 4th" madness needs to stop. Even Alex himself admits he lost that round. Enough is enough.
