I have been maybe the biggest proponent of anyone I can remember for Jon Jones as the most talented MMA fighter ever. His run through the LHW division is the most impressive thing I've ever seen in MMA when taking into account who he beat and how easily he did it. Better than Silva's run through MW, better than Fedor's run at HW. The only close fight Jones had was Gus, he steamrolled everyone else. And the division was stacked. He's never actually lost in the cage.
All that said, paying this type of juice here...nope. As mentioned above by Shoulder, there's a lot of outside factors at play here. Jones did look lackluster vs OSP. There will most likely be some ring rust. And while DC is nearing the end of his career just due to his age, he doesn't have nearly the mileage that some of the younger guys have in terms of damage taken.
Do I favor Jones to win? Yeah, for sure. I don't see how he can't be favored. But -250 in this spot? Not a freaking chance for me. I'd start to consider him maybe at -175 or so. At these odds, if forced, I'd play DC smaller than laying this juice on Jones.
True Jon jones is just a bad stylistic matchup for Dc all around.JJ unanimous decision is the play here. But I hope that D.C. wins, that would be so incredible sweet.
But is there a way D.C. can win this? I mean, even if Jones has ring rust, looked bad vs OSP and his mama just died, I still don't see how Jones loses this.
Is anyone even contemplating that the Jones that fought OSP was the first time jones was 100% clean?
The Jones that fought OSP can be beat by DC

I will bet Tyron Woodley for sure, he is the worst matchup for Demian Maia in the dyvision
would cailin curran have been cut by now if she looked like ediane gomes?
How did JJ look bad against OSP? Because he didn't get the finish?
