Jones is gonna destroy Ngannou

[icemun]

Jones made the greatest UFC heavyweight wrestler do this.

People forget DC never lost a single round at HW.
Never taken down, never lost a single round.

Until he faced Jones

Worthless emotion based babble.

get the fuck out of here fatass

 

[Patman]

I love how you all pretending Jones is gonna be the same speed at HW lol

Yep, it's hard for an athlete, especially later in their career, to carry extra weight that he's not had most of his career. Tendon strength develops much more slowly. This is how a ton of athletes have gotten injured, by putting on size for the sake of size.

And even if he manages to stays healthy, he's going to only be able to check two of these boxes:

• Size and strength
• Speed and explosiveness
• Cardio
• Testing clean

I hate Jones lol but I could see it. He won't have the strength and speed advantages he had at lhw but it was not these things that kept Ngannou from getting Gane, I was some basic footwork and low power leg kicks. Can definitely see Jones playing Gane's game in the first 2 rounds without the white belt jiu jitsu and wrestling deficiency

Other than his girl, Jones hasn’t “destroyed” anybody in 3 years. Stop living in the past(and I’m somebody that thinks Jones is the GOAT).

This is the key. Jones was at his best when he was faster, longer, and more versatile than all of his opponents. You know what moving up a weight class and adding 40lbs does? Removes all of those.

He was also, in his early 20s
As athletes age (hell everyone) they get larger and slower.
Part of life which is why his timing for HW is so perfect.

If anyone can pull it off, it's likely Jones

When has Jon gotten on his bike and circled for an entire fight? His strategy is to stalk and take the centre of the cage, batter you from the outside, hit you with his medium range weapons if you try to close the distance (elbows and knees), or fuck you up in the clinch if you back up to the cage. I don't think any of this shit is going to work against Francis. Jon will eat a ton of shots. He's shown a good chin so far, but if anybody can crack it, it's Francis.

 

[Patman]

When did Jobes struggle against Shogun?! He absolutely besmirched him.

He said he struggles against fighters that are NOT those guys. Meaning Jon dominated guys who were much smaller in stature. Jon's most impressive wins were grinding out a tough decision against prime Gus, and the two wins against DC. Daniel has a thicker frame than Jon, but Jon had a lot of reach on him. He won't enjoy such advantages against Francis.

For all.his faults, Jones is good at game planning and strategising. He has just seen Ngannou undone by some tiny leg kicks, which Jones has utilised to good effect in the past. He can definitely do that as well as Gane did last night without being useless against the cage/on the mat

 

[Unbreakable]

After watching Ngannou failing to land a clean shot on Gane while standing up over a span of 25 minutes, I think Jones can easily neutralize Ngannou's striking. And it is ludicrous to even think about Ngannou outwrestling Jones.

 

[Jewish Lightning]

Nigannou would punch a real life hole in Jones' skull. Jonny Boy doesn't want that smoker. Not with Francis and not with Gane.

Ahhh, my mistake and roughly agreed + deleted.

Jon uses leg kicks a lot against shorter opponents. He doesn't use it as much against guys that can reach his face with their fists when he kicks their legs. Gane was affectively able to touch up Francis with leg kicks because of his darting, almost Wonderboy style. Jon has never done that in his career. And I don't see a 240-250 lb. Jon bouncing around in the cage without gassing. Francis would just stare at him and stay patient.

Props. So amazingly accurate

 

[tequilaboy]

Jones broke his leg trying to take down Overeem..

 

[kingmob6]

bones on horse meat? then yea probably

 

[Tweak896]

Gane would be taken down by Jones so easy. Ngannou doesn't go down that easy.

 

[HeffDoesWant]

Jones with 1 finish in the past 9 years?

Lol.

Imo he is suspended anyway.

there is a reason why jon wants to bulk up to 270
