Media Jon Jones feels he’s fought several better strikers than Ciryl Gane

Good…. I hope he’s over confident in goes on there planning to strike with Gane

 

[ExitLUPin]

According to Brandon Gibson Jon didnt shoot much TDs against Santos because of how he throws strikes down the middle. Said it was an unnecessary risk. If he doesnt look to grapple Gane who has sus grappling he will get fucked up badly.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

He aint wrong...

Gane isnt that accomplished of a striker...hasnt really smoked anyone in the UFC either...

Machida and Santos have better highlights then him IMO

 

[Siver!]

Yeah, I don't think Gane is going to just overpower Jones with every strike, or anything.

It will be a competitive fight.

I'm just pretty confident Gane will win out.

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

Gane is among the better strikers hes fought IMO.

Gane is so fast and mobile for a HW.

He has a great jab and hes good at shutting down your offense.

Hope he smokes Jon.

 

[JarlSkuld]

MMA journalists with their dumb question phrasing. Who cares if Gane is the best striker Jones has ever faced? Why not just ask if he considers Gane to offer a type a striking he has never faced before...or how he plans to deal with Gane's striking...or if he considers it be a threat at all? These questions would offer way more insight in to Jon's fight prep, his strategy, his mindset, etc.

I think Ngannou has most effective stand-up in heavyweight history, because of his power and chin, but I reckon Gane has the most technical stand-up in heavyweight history.

 

[The Last King]

I hope Gane punches his head into the 18th row.

 

[Izzysexboyfriend]

He won’t have a huge size and steroid advantage this time

 

[Portland8242]

Thiago Santos is absolutely not a better striker. Before losing his knees to Jones his style was usually very aggressive and powerful which involved him getting very sloppy defensively sometimes. If you count both defense and offense, Gane is easily better striker IMO.

But Machida is for sure a better striker than Gane. If Machida was 6'5" 250 like Gane is he'd have kicked Jones' head into the 2nd row.

I swear, those people have the opportunity to ask questions to guys like Jones and are bland as fuck.
They could at least ask him to settle the sherdog p4p controversy

Machida was awesome but no way in hell he'd stop Lewis and Tuivasa with his hands the way Gane did.

 

[Reign009]

Big mistake.

 

[Simple Southerner]

He's full of shit on this one
all the strikers you fought> gane

 

[prikoke]

I think Ngannou has most effective stand-up in heavyweight history, because of his power and chin, but I reckon Gane has the most technical stand-up in heavyweight history.

IMO Overeem and Crocop were better technique-wise. Although Overeem didn't have the best jabs.

 

[laleggenda27]

Gane is the best striker Jones has fought, and it's not remotely close. I suppose you could make an argument for Lyoto being better in a p4p sense, but that's fictional silliness. Gane would outstrike any of Jones's past opponents relatively easily.

Thiago doesn't even belong in this conversation.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

OHKO power at MW lol. Hw is very different. Also gane is a better striker than the vast majority of Jon's opponents. He's gonna wall and stall

 

[Hdfi]

Machida and Santos were smaller and past prime. This time he won't have the physical advantage, let's see what happens...

 

[WolverReem]

He aint wrong...

Gane isnt that accomplished of a striker...hasnt really smoked anyone in the UFC either...

Machida and Santos have better highlights then him IMO

He's a HW Muay Thai champ that's a better striking accolade than anyone Jones ever fought
