Media Daniel Cormier and Kenny Florian believe Jon Jones would beat Francis Ngannou

[bad mojo]

It's all fantasizing at this point, but HW Jones would probably not be the easiest guy to knock out. He's been hit cleanly by some of the best in the business and his chin is often overlooked. I know it's Francis we're talking about here, but I would pick Jones to win, also.

 

[Ivancho]

Francis's last fight made him look more beatable against Jon, I don't see why prime Jon Jones couldn't do what Gane did, except he would win the wrestling exchanges

you are forgeting that jon jones looked like shit in his last couple of fights

 

[HNIC215]

Now Jones will be Dana’s best friend again lol

Spoiler

Until he fucks up again

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Jones has some of the best fight IQ I've ever seen but he barely scraped by Thaigo Satnos with one leg. Once he feels the power and size of someone like Ngannou or Gane, I think it's over for him.

Every advantage he had at LHW with his size and speed will be gone at HW. He's just going to be an out of shape LHW fighting at HW and that rarely works out.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

They are entitled to their opinion. I wholeheartedly disagree.

Probably cause Jon Jones never had lateral footwork. He has good kicks and manages the distance well but without these escapes, what will he do when the big guy will rush at him ?

 

[MMAProfessional]

Shilling at its best, let's suddenly downplay Ngannou as a fighter and champion

I guess the idea is Bones can dance around similar to Gane but won't get taken down. That being said Bones doesn't have the power that Gane has so wouldn't have to be so hesitant. The fight will never happen so who cares.

 

[icemun]

Two shills.

Jones can't even beat Reyes or no legged Santos but he's going to beat Francis. Smh.

But Jones won

Santos was beaten so badly he could not walk or fight for a year.

 

[icemun]

Not a unique opinion

 

[HaulParris]

Shilling at its best, let's suddenly downplay Ngannou as a fighter and champion

I thought DC just said, before the Gane fight, that Ngannou would be too much for Jones. I bet the Pink Goof is instructing anybody on camera to talk Ngannou down now that he is at war with the UFC.

They’re shills for the UFC, what else are they gonna say?

UFC's state media doing its job, business as usual.

 

[KazDibiase]

People want to see it, nobody thinks it's automatic, but I don't see how Gane and Francis's last fight doesn't make everyone think Jones would have a damn good chance at beating either one as long as he is still in his prime

We seen Jones last fights and he didn't look too impressive either. People even thought he lost his last fight. Plus he's not as active as Gane and Ngannou.

 

[HP_Nut]

By the time a hypothetical Jones vs Ngannou fight were to actually happen, Jones will have not fought for over 3 yrs. We have no idea what version of Jones we will be getting, add into the fight he's never fought at HW before too. I think if Jones fights its just a 1 & done, regardless if he wins or loses

 

[GORO]

Only thing Jone beating now his wife

 

[Captain Herb]

would be surprised if jones wouldnt be favored in a fight

I hope he would be. I'd bet on the HW champ over the guy who is 0-0-0

 

[Shaddows]

Ariel says DC texted him after the fight and told him he thinks Jones beats Ngannou and Florian says he agrees with DC.

Not long after DC said Jon was not beating neither Francis nor Ciryl.....

I guess the UFC told them to downplay his win, so they can lowball Francis....

for fucking shame!

 

[Captain Herb]

LOL @ taking DC's opinion on this seriously.

If Francis fought Jon like he did Saturday he'd for sure have lost. Jon would have EXPLOITED the fuck out of that bum knee with his oblique kicks dragged him down and arm triangle choked his ass out.

Ok..., why didn't he do that to Santos?

 

[Stan]

Dana unleashing his A$$ KISSERS DC/Florian to attack Ngannou.

 

[Captain Herb]

Probably cause Jon Jones never had lateral footwork. He has good kicks and manages the distance well but without these escapes, what will he do when the big guy will rush at him ?

He would turn and run like he did against Reyes. There, he mostly escaped punishment but coming in at 250 or so, he would have limited speed and mobility. I don't see it working out against the quicker HWs

 

[Draxton]

Francis's last fight made him look more beatable against Jon, I don't see why prime Jon Jones couldn't do what Gane did, except he would win the wrestling exchanges

Prime Jones doesn’t exist anymore so that doesn’t matter.

He didn't say it publicly, he texted it to Ariel privately and Ariel mentioned it publicly on the MMA Hour when he interviewing Kenny Florian.
