Jon Jones lost two fights in a row

[FlyThaiMMA]

All a title does is confirm that said fighter is the best of their division. Since we really don't believe that Jones is better than Reyes its meaningless

 

[johncola]

Checked fight finder...

It says that he won his last two.

Interesting.

That’s odd when I check Wikipedia it shows Jon Jones has a 17 fight winning streak.

This is where the problem lies. You guys are looking at what happened on Fight Finder and Wikipedia, while TS is looking at what happened in the cage. They're different subjects.

Exactly

Imagine forming you opinions on MMA based on the judges' opinions LMAO

 

[nostradumbass]

UFC judges don't care about your feelings

They clearly don't care about what happens in the fights either.

 

[Merlotte's]

Yeah, and GSP won against Hendricks. lmao

You can’t erase a decision with laughter, son. Appeal to the commission

Thats cute. Forget documented accounts of a fight. Forget that Reyes gave up after the third round. Forget that he could not stop Jon Jones from advancing. Forget than Jon Jones is the winningest champion in UFC history.

Jon will be remembered as the winner tonight. Reyes the loser.

Only nerds use fight finder

True nerds account suicide when their hero gets ktfo

It's crazy....Every time he fights someone close to his own size,there is bound to be controversy.

 

[RyanRAW]

Just because a fight was close doesn't mean he lost. I wanted Reyes to win but honestly can't deny the fact that Reyes didn't exactly PUT HIM AWAY.

I want to see someone KO Jones or Submit him. If not, then I wouldn't consider him actually being beat. Just like when Jones decisioned DC, it was meh. But after the rematch and he KO'd him is what made it definitive.

So Jones didn't beat Santos or Reyes in his last fights, right?

 

[RyanRAW]

Jones vs Santos was closer than this one. Jones did more damage and won rounds 2, 4 and 5 vs Reyes. Also constant forward pressure from Jones, made Reyes miss a LOT + the challenger has to put in some extra effort to really validate him becoming champ, imo. It's not a scoring criteria but it's an unspoken rule and you all know it.

It's pretty stupid and Jones lost round 2 it isn't even close.

 

[mikenason]

He said he is open to rematch both. Which is fair.

No matter what had Santos or Reyes won, Jones would get an immediate rematch anyways.

 

[Mahkor]

Yep, looks like he is running out of Picos, Stylebender will make it look easy when the time comes.

Don't forget anything. Like I said, TS is speaking to what happened in the cage. The stuff you mention now pertains to that. Reyes wasn't able to stop Jones advancing in the cage. I disagree that Reyes gave up at any point though. He landed a barrage early in round 4, and got tired after that, but was still always in the fight. Regarding "winningest fighter in UFC history", you're back to talking about FightFinder and Wikipedia again. To purists, events within fights are more important than titles, rankings, and records.

I'm an optimist and believe that society is getting better. Thus, if Reyes deserved to win the fight, then we'll get our act together and view him as the winner. The footage is there for everyone to see. Reality above the narrative.

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

lol people defending corrupt judging. "Well wikipidia says...." "Fight Finder"

we get it, you are happy he won. dosnt mean he deserved it.

When people watch the footage again they’ll see Reyes’ barrages struck mostly air, gloves, and arms. This is exciting to the crowd. More so than Jones’ calm and controlled approach to every fight. They will see that Jones kicks to the head, body, and legs had a profound effect on the strength, stamina, and speed of Reyes. They will see that the perceived Achilles heel of Jones, boxing, matched that of a very slick and deceptively fast Reyes. They will see a more complete fighter work in the clinch and successfully take down his opponent.

It may take a day or two but there will be many threads on the front page of this forum claiming Jon the victor after a second or third viewing.

He also lost to Gus in the first fight

Paper Champ.


Jones hasnt been impressive since he beat Machida many many years ago.

Not everybody is as dependant on commissions telling them what to think as you are. Not everybody cares about how incompetent (or corrupt) people judge a fight. It's called using your own brain and it's an interesting alternative to your drooling subservience. You should really try it sometime, troglodyte.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

I mean, it's fair all things considering. I judge my own fights, I have no respect for their opinions. Reyes beat Jon Jones

Jones is a paper champ. Wins, titles, all that is noise imo. We all know what happened last night

I've never seen a group of people who are so entrenched in their own internal worlds that they refuse to accept reality as MMA fans

He isn't required to impress you. Dildobreath posts like yours make it easy to like Jones. And I don't like Jones.
