Jon Jones will shock the world again, he will beat Ngannou
- Thread starter wiz
- Start date
Jones has complained about his pay many many times. He's made it a significant issue for years, but it just so happens that he always ends up screwing up in real life monumentally and then having to be grateful for the opportunity. Conor has screwed up just as much if not more, but still gets top dollar in part because he sells fights with his mouth as much as his skill whereas Jones miscalculated foolishly by trying to seem like a Christian avatar of morality and purity in his early career.
In my view, one sprawl from Ngannou isn't enough to wipe away the concerns about his wrestling, especially against a guy who outwrestled DC.
Agree with your post but not sure your GSP reference. You know you long it’s been since Jon finished somebody? Do you not remember GSP absolutely dominating Bisping on the feet then subbing him? I can send you some gifs if you like.
Of course Jon’s wrestling is always a threat but did he get any TDs on guys like Reyes, OSP or Santos? Also Gus was able to shut down Jon’s wresting for 25:00 and is a stick man compared to Francis. One sprawl changed that fight last night.
I'm alluding to the fact he used to coast and take it easy towards a decision. He got lucky
I’ll never get why guys in Jones position even go online ad try to defend their honour. Stipe does it too. Gets all bent out of shape for being the betting underdog and shit.
If he can get motivated again then I agree. Seems like he’s lost his edge or just can’t be bothered for the last few years and is just punching the clock.
I had a dream the other night that Freddy Krueger was trying to get me.
Then jon Jones showed up and killed him.
Freddy died for real...

I think this is the right take.
He's had to deal with USADA and all of that shit, whether guilty or not, and the guys in front of him haven't exactly been exciting on paper. He hasn't been able to get the big pay raise that he's been wanting because of all of the bullshit.
So now you have a guy who was/is clearly more gifted than anyone he's fought that has been dealing with constant administrative bullshit, fighting for less than he's worth, against guys who just don't challenge him like DC did.
It'd be hard to really get up for that day at the office. But when he's decided to turn it on and prove his ability then he's wrecked DC and folded Gus in the rematch.
He needs something to excite him. Francis for the right payday to pad his legacy? I think that would do it.
He was walking around 225-230 as a lhw. Difference is now he'll fight at his walking weight, just as lean as he was at 205. Lived in Albq for a few years and recently talked to a friend from there that sees him in person and said you have to see him in person to really see how thick he is now. Jones hasn't really been in the public eye so I think when he does media and you can see him next to someone now and find a pic or video of him with that same person as a lhw it will give context to how big he's gotten. He said he is ludicrously strong. I think one important factor in him fighting Francis that nobody really thinks about or mentions is motivation. He fought the last 5 years plus on auto pilot and shouldn't have been able to fight so well with his nonstop social life. I hope we see this fight because we all know that inside of Jones lies one of the greatest of all time and easily, hands down the most naturally talented of all time. He wanted this move and did it on his own for himself. People dismissing this as all Francis but I think a pissed off at the world, motivated, wanting to feel his feet on that canvas again Jones at HW is a very scary monster. I'm not a fan of Jones but real is real and facts are facts.
Ur funny1. juiced wins my ass
"However, according to NSAC executive director Bob Bennett, Jones' test samples had already undergone CIR testing by the same WADA-accredited lab which had reported his T/E ratios, noting that all CIR results came back clean."
"though the panel concluded that Jones did not take the banned substances intentionally, and was not a drug cheat"
"The independent arbitrator found that Jon Jones was not intentionally cheating in this case."
"Drug tests administered at UFC 232 found an ultra trace amount of turinabol, which doctors attributed to a long-term "pulsing effect" of the M3 metabolite detected in 2017. CSAC did not take disciplinary action against Jones as the medical experts stated that there was no evidence that Jones had re-administered a banned substance and no performance-enhancing benefits were gained"
2."IMO DC was fading and well past his prime due to age and injury"
lol did you forget they fought in 2015?
ANDDDDD STILL!!!!!!!!!
@wiz I appreciate the passion
Dude can fight
Dude has also been juicing for most of his career
We can have both
Holy fuck. He looks like he's moving in slow motion.
That's the only hope of Jones haters, that he is getting old. They literally have nothing else they can say about him. He is undefeated for 13 years.
Well maybe USADA can finally produce a legit positive test then cause they haven't been able to do shit the last 4 times they messed up
AND.......STILL!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND......NEW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD JON BONES JONES!!!!!!!!

Jones always rises to the level of his opponents. He took DC seriously and Gus seriously the second time. And look what happened in their fights.
Ngannou will be Jones' most dangerous opponent, and Jones will rise to the occasion again and STILL WILL REMAIN THE GOAT AND NEW HW CHAMP
