According to DC a man who fought at HW and LHW -- "Jones don't hit hard, he kicks hard." (1)
OK he kicks hard. But he's fighting against GANE.
A man who is 6'4. Jones will have to do head kicks to do ANY damage.
Thing is ... is Jones flexible? Can he even reach Gane's head???
This isn't the CATLIKE Jones of 205.
Jones looks PREGNANT now.
Furthemore, Jones fights very stationary and flat footed.
You know who has similar footwork like Jones?
Derrick Lewis.
Watch what happens when Lewis tries to walk down Gane.

It takes years for your new muscles to settle in. Right now Jones is just a puffy 205er with kicks and he's fighting a guy who has similar tools, is built heavier, can slip punches really well and probably avoid any spinning shit Jones throws.
Now the other factor is the wrestling. Can jones take down GANE?
Ngannu took down Gane, but according to Rogan, Francis was 270 for that fight while Gane was 247. (2)
According to Gane, Francis didn't have technical wrestling, but his strength was overwhelming.
Gane took minimal damage, and couldn't be held down DESPITE being 23 pounds lighter.
You think GSP or Khabib would give 23 pounds to an opponent and LIVE? HELL NO.
So does Jones have anything for Gane besides his reputation?
