UFC 135: JON JONES VS RAMPAGE JACKSON - Jones' first title defense
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 сен 2022
- Jon Jones was expected to make his first title defense on August 6, 2011 at UFC 133 against Rashad Evans, but Jones was sidelined with a hand injury. It was initially announced that the hand injury would require surgery, but Jones opted for rest and rehabilitation without surgery after further consultations with doctors. Jones' injury was originally thought to keep him out of action until late 2011, but instead, he made his first title defense against Quinton Jackson at UFC 135.

Big coaching advantage for Jones. Rampages coaching yelling all kinds of crap at the same time. Jackson calms Jones down and gives specific, concise strategy.
Tell that to Leon Edwards! I feel u but it really depends on the individual fighter and what they need and respond to. JMO
@@Koduhhhh sure, but Leon was receiving motivational words from one individual. Rampage was getting terrible advice from 3 people at the same time.
@@Gigachad_97 Both the teacher and the student must synchronize, not just the single individual
@@tama-a-tumatauengahiku3647 yes the whole corner needs to be on the same page
Facts
This fight is an interesting psychological case study for Jones. All his nightmares took place in the first round so he played it extremely safe until he got out of the round. After that he had zero doubt that he'd win and opened up. The man beat himself and Ramage in the same night.
Well put my man
Man I remember watching this for free back when it happened since I live in Mexico and when this fight happened they gave this ppvs for free in my country, only thing I could think of is, this dude is definitely the best in his division, who woulda thought that 10+ years later I would be calling him the goat, amazing how life works
I mean that doesn’t seem to be what happened at all in the first round
No1 bs
Huh did we watch the same fight?? rampage did jack shi the first round
This man has been a champ since before the Reebok era, during Reebok, and now the Venom era of fight kits. NOBODY has this much longevity in the MMA world.
He was in ufc before USADA 😅... He fought juiced up fighters and when USADA showed up, many left and lost fights but JJ remained... Even with positive tests JJ fought 3 generation of fighters...
It’s cus he fought so young
Rosas jr could be next bro he’s only 18🙏
Illegal substances work wonders. Yeaaaah
Fedor
Jon’s corner calm relaxed, trying to make him feel comfortable and focused and give him confidence and then rampage corner just screaming nonsense at him😹😹
Jones' corner: Let's find that waterfall Jon. Nice.
Rampage's corner: Find your fucking tempo, find your range!
@@kingcrimson3882 SON
@@kingcrimson3882 jon knew he was tryna find his range he wasnt letting him and the coach still telling rampage to do it 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahah yeah that stood out to me too 😂
Seriously; 3 people screaming 7 different things into each one of your ears, and look at Greg Jackson in comparison.
7:41 this takedown defense is still unbelievable to me
I hit this like 30 times
dude it looked like he entered a animation
Hell yeah
unmatched
@@someasiankid6323 it looks like someone fast forwarded it 😂
Bones broke that man’s Will & Spirit. This was an example of what complete domination is.
Yeah, very very dominating fight.
Also exposes one aspect of Jon's game
But yeah nah this isn't complete domination and he never broke rampage. If anything the way he ate everything Jon threw hurt Jon's spirits
Beating gane was complete domination
@@GunnerWolfe-ks9ds jones absolutely dominated
Jones is literally a sniper with them kicks. His leg reach is ridiculous
That's what illegal substances and eye pokes lead to 😂😂😂
@@buddicce1316eye pokes and illegal substances make your legs longer?
@@buddicce1316 typical braindead Jones hater.
That chin tap up the middle was beautiful.
yea just a reach bully
I remember watching this live thinking “this dude is the future of the UFC”. The way he dominated this whole fight, and destroyed Machida in the next fight…So sad he couldn’t stay out of his own way.
He will be back if there is one thing in fighting that will always remain true is people want to see the best fighter fight.
You're such a Jones little groupy "The future of the UFC" yeah if the future means knees to the groin and pokes to the eyes. Biggest cheater in MMA right here Jones and the biggest newbs praise him cuz their blinded by their fruity love for him
@@victorpena3129 how can he be the best when all he does is cheat? This dude needs people in the groin and post them in the eyes constantly. Just look at the first minute of this fight and tell me he's not kneeing rampage in the groin. You won't say he is because you're in love with the guy
@@7ItalianStallion Where did he eye poke or knee to the groin in this fight? I know reading comprehension is hard, but I said “I remember watching *THIS* fight” and also saying “he couldn’t stay out of his own way
Maybe if you put away your hate boner for Jon Jones, you’d actually read what someone comments before crying about me being a fan boy of him 😂
lebron moment
The sprawl after the missed round kick is insane. pure instinct.. 7:40
Also great takedown defense by Rampage in that scramble
Also rampage's bad takedown form. He should've swam his left arm back after jones blocked it. He would've gotten the takedown otherwise.
The dudes Jon fought and demolished over the years compared to Khabib, when we talk about the GOAT status. It`s incredible how much more insane Jon`s resumé is
It's just hard to call someone who has the cheat the goat
To be fair tho he more then likely didnt even need to cheat
@@DibzzehM8 cry to your mother it still takes hard work to actually benefit from it and if I’m not mistaken he only used that shit at the tail end of his career.
@@givemesometime8405 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love when I write a genuine comment not even hating but giving him credit but the fanboys still get offended because I don't suck his d, get a grip bud
The thing is Khabib isn't someone you can judge purely by his resume. So many people made that mistake with predictions for the Islam vs Charles fight. Khabib retired too early and could've ran through his whole division three times over and moved up to fight GSP.
The difference in professionality and accuracy of the two corners is astounding
Didn’t matter who coached rampage
If you knew nothing of the UFC at the time you would think rampage is a beginner but in reality rampage is a killer, Jon Jones was just levels ahead
Rampage would not be top 5 at his peak in today's game.. tbh his strength and toughness got him to where he was
@@igot5onit423 "today's game" where 40+ yo Glover was champion a year ago, the same Glover Jon easily beat when he was in his early 30s
@@igot5onit423 Youre high. Rampage in his prime was dangerous for any human being in ANY era Dude was explosive af, powerful, good hands and counters, good takedown defense, and would slam the F out of you
But not Aspinall 😂
@@heroe1486what you’re saying is that LHW is a weak division lol the game has absolutely evolved.
This is one of my favorite ufc fights of all time, uploader your a damn legend uploading this in 1080p thank you very kindly sir 🙏🏾💯
Was jones not boosted with some illegal stuff in this fight?
@@zaratull999 what's your point? The shit he took was not anything that would make a significant difference in his prefromance...Jon jones is the the mother fucking goat dude hands down, plenty of mfs have been put down taking full steroids, jones was never on steriods, just illegal bullshit your not supposed to have in your system because usada is very strict
@@zaratull999 that’s what I always say. He was only CAUGHT twice. That doesn’t mean he only used twice. You can just see the transformation from his debut to his fight with Vera. In under 2 years he went from skinny to a 6 pack with clean cuts. He cheated his whole ufc carrier. He doesn’t need these things to be great but there is no doubt in my mind that these steroids helped him tremendously (look how he isn’t even breathing hard all the way to the 4th, no one who is clean is going to be looking like that after 15 minutes of fighting).
You're*
@@ItsReplayBro nah bro Jon is a patience fighter that’s why he isn’t breathing hard
Rampage had a look like, "Why are you doing this man?"
lol
You can just see something switching inside of Jones before he started crawling. He looked so scared and didn't make eye contact, but the killer look he has when crouching just before the start is something totally else.
That's bones my boy
He said in a dream why he did it. Was having nightmares of getting knocked out in the first round. But in his dreams he started the fight normally on his feet. So he decided to start the fight with something that was never in his dreams to essentially make sure they were invalidated and didn't become real.
@@seanmatthewking yeah I know, I'm just saying that there is a totally different look to him after he went down. At first he looked like he was afraid, but when he went down and looked forward it looks like he is ready to kill a demon
I wouldn't say he looked scared in the begining, he usually just doesn't stare down his opponents like that
He definitely wasn’t scared in the beginning. Pacquiao in boxing wouldn’t stare down his opponents and he has knocked out and dominated a lot of boxers
I think First round of this fight is the most complete mixed martial art round I have ever seen, wow. Takedowns,kicks knees elbows punshes defensive take downs. Jon Jones is an alien
"I don't see nobody beating him" Rampage knew in 20 minutes that nobody was going to beat Jon
huge respect for rampage to go out like that. a role model for all of us.
That man is no role model 😂😂
@@mindgames50 he's literally a piece of crap human being, well actually both of them are.
You really are stupid if your role model is rampage Jackson
@@stunnakamero5931 🤣
@@mindgames50 Jackson isn't an employee like you, stay silent and humble.
Rampage is such a beast of a man but I dont know if Ive ever heard a more respectful and honest speech made in defeat before. If you have to accept the loss a fight, you couldnt possibly do it with more genuine class than this. The emphasis on how he was in the best shape of his life, why he couldnt implement leg kicks and the warning to every other fighter that Jones was a different beast altogether. An inspirational speech after an absolutely emphatic loss lol.
And he was dead on about Jones being great
We will never see another Jon Jones ever in any mma promotion this guy is one of a kind
Jones 11,5 inch advantage
Rampage Coach: Find your range
It's stilupid to fight with that range difference
Mike Tyson ?@@avg_user-dd2yb
Meaning "get inside". They're calling for counters - especially on the kicks, since kicks usually are telegraphed and take a while to reset.
This is the 205 version of how Jones vs Ngannou will play out. Ngannou is very much a boxer like Rampage but longer reach. If Jones is able to utilise those kicks in a Heavyweight fight, he will dominate.
but Francis is as tall as Jon and the have a similar reach. So, it could go either way honestly
@@theblackphantomhd True. But Jones has more weapons, more accurate strikes, kicks, wrestling and submission. But of course this is just discussion. Will be Hell of a fight if it happens.
ahahah come on bro. in this fight, 73 inch vs 85 inch reach. Vs ngannou it will be 83 vs 85 inch reach and ngannou has like 1000% more power than rampage, so come on...
jon beats him anytime anywhere😭
Literally came back to this fight because of the upcoming Ngannou fight he has.
Rampages style is like ngannous’
That was flawless. 4 rounds of utter perfection.
I never liked rampage. But I now like him for being humble and saying this was the best rampage, and he beat me.
Jon Jones is the GOD of mixed martial arts.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's cut through the fog of idolization and get to the heart of the matter. Jon Jones, he's a name that reverberates through the halls of MMA like a thunderclap. But before you anoint him as the deity of this sport, let's take a closer look at the man behind the myth.
Jon Jones, a man who has let his talents be eclipsed by his own demons. A man who, despite his unparalleled skill and undeniable charisma, has chosen a path littered with deceit and dishonor. You call him a god, but I say he is the shaytan of MMA, a tempter who has lured us into the illusion of greatness tainted by his own flaws.
What does it mean to be a god in this sport? To be worshipped, revered, respected? No, it means embodying the spirit of competition, the purity of athleticism, and the honor of a true champion. Jon Jones has chosen shortcuts over integrity, relying on the crutch of performance-enhancing drugs to bolster his already prodigious abilities. Steroids and drugs, they’re not the tools of a god, but the vices of a coward afraid to face his own limits.
He’s shattered records, yes, but he’s also shattered the trust of his fans, the respect of his peers, and the sanctity of the sport. His legacy is not one of untainted glory but of squandered potential. Every victory tainted, every achievement shadowed by the whispers of ‘what ifs’ and ‘maybes’.
Jon Jones, the man who should have stood as a pillar of greatness, instead stands as a cautionary tale. A man who could have been the embodiment of everything we hold dear in MMA but chose to embody its darkest possibilities instead. He’s not the god of MMA; he’s its shaytan, a figure who reminds us not of what the sport can be, but what it must never become.
So, next time you’re tempted to raise him up on a pedestal, remember the foundation it’s built on. A foundation of lies, drugs, and shattered dreams. He’s not the beacon lighting the path to greatness, but the warning sign at the edge of the abyss. Choose to see him for what he truly is, not what you wish him to be.
You could have just said he's not God just a good fighter?relax Joel Osteen 😂?@@KeyserSoze23
@@KeyserSoze23stop yapping
Joe’s commentary is so good
The way Jones bullied him the whole fight. Jones was savage back in the day
Bro Thank you for this!! Beautiful quality, no cuts. I would pay for this here!
Anyone else start dying laughing when they heard "shut the f*ck up!" at 8:07😂
I love Jones' killer demeanor touching gloves. No eye contact, completely in his own mind. No need to waste emotion at this point. Pure focus and getting right with God.
I know it sounds cool to prop up Jon Jones as this John Wick-esque man of focus who never showed fear but I think the real reason is so much better because it shows Jon was still human despite his greatness. The real reason why he didn't make eye contact was beause he was scared of Rampage.
Jon Jones himself admitted he had nightmares of Rampage knocking him down 30 seconds in. In fact, this fight was the reason why Jon started crawling towards his opponents at the start of fights because according to him, his nightmares always started with him standing up so he decided to crawl so the nightmares wouldn't come true.
@@NanayaShiki yep and i believe he claimed he would throw up before fights as well.
" I love Jones' killer demeanor touching gloves. No eye contact, completely in his own mind. No need to waste emotion at this point. Pure focus and getting right with God. " Pure delusion of your own making. He's disputed this in interviews. He was scared until he got into the crouch. That's what makes him so cool. He was absolutely unfocused and was full of emotion at that exact point you're talking about.
@@brianminsk8 I said earlier that he threw up before fights due to fear and anxiety. He is the GOAT.
yes your original comment is still your pure fantasies and they directly contradict what Jon Jones said about the event. Might want to delete your bullshit if you have any respect for the guy. @@drewmorg.
I learnt a life lesson from this fight. When you fear your enemy stay safe until your enemy is weakened considerably ❤
Jones has got more tricks up his sleeve than a wizard octopus
To me, this is one of Jon's favorite fights, although Jackson has already been there, he went through several organizations at the top, Bones made him look a beginner.😋😏😎
Imagine Jon Jones got into a bar fight 😂 bro would destroy everything
Rampage “I have to take my hat off to him see my hat is in my hand rn” 😂😂
🤣🤣
God damn rampages corner didn’t help him at all. How can he get corner advice with the loud dog in the back. Can’t even catch his breath with the dude screaming, driving his heart rate up….
Exactly!! "Repeating find your range" needed to be a bit more specific than that!! Like use your foot work, cut him off, feint your way in etc. Jon is so hard tho. Just his size and limb length along with high fight IQ. If you're just boxing him youre as good as dead!!
Lmao 🤣 right, like wtf dude was raging at him.
Bro….. jones fight IQ is so insane
You can tell that the Rampage checking Jones's leg on 19:00 really hurt. After that you see Jones changed stances and then kind of waits for the round to be over. Then in the following round he goes for a submission win.
He should have mixed it up and probably would bear jon jones. Like Joe rogan said.
Good eye
That's how Strickland beat adesanya, checking leg kicks consistently. Which lead to a straight boxing match and Strickland had the better jab that night.
Old comment but holly fuck he straight up buried his knee in Jons shin da hell.
Actual good analysis in this one
Jones a different breed.
Jackson, compared to Jones, looks like he telegraphing every move in slow motion. The last 30 seconds of round one sealed Jackson's loss.
The difference of the corners after the first round was telling of why Jon is so successful
The way rampage read that spinning elbow was beautiful
I miss when they played god of war sounding music in UFC lmaooo
And 12 years later he's the heavyweight champ, goat.
There really is no fighter in modern history, that can compare with Jones. I think theres such a chasm between what hes done and the next that there isnt a valid argument anymore.
Indeed!!
@@DumbBabydude it’s cuz he fights like it’s a street fight these other fighter rely on movesets and style more than actually just running up on the dude and beating the shit out on him like jones does. The only time he doesn’t is if he thinks the fighter regardless can take the punches then he waits for a opening basically dude is fighting them to death while there fighting to win a match that’s the difference between them no fighter in the mma has realizes that Jon jones is just some normal dude who trained for a bit and won realizes he was good and kept on training but still uses his raw skills to win the matches and uses the talent skills to control the match
Rampage lookin like a mike tysons punch out charecter
Two of my fav fighters in ufc history. I love what they did for the sport
14:03 bro how the fuck does Jon jump and get his entire left leg over Rampages right shoulder before they even hit the ground 😧
Rampage was so humble bro. That’s awesome
It’s crazy how much respect they have for each others power
Rampage is so confused looking at the referee like hey he kick me in the leg and now on the face 😂
Thank you nine VDO :)
I like how in the fight the announcer goes from calling him rampage to Quinton 😂
dude that tale of the tape music was BADASS like were getting ready to watch gladiators fight in the roman Colosseum
damn this quality is good as hell
14:05 one of the coolest moves I've seen.
That move is called pulling guard and every white belt gets to learn it.
@@blokin5039 I'm not as familiar with grappling, but Jon is the only one I've ever seen use that move in a UFC fight.
@@gigadude6951 It's a standard technique in grappling but Jon did it very smoothly. Like all his other moves.
@@blokin5039 agreed, and cool 😎
@@blokin5039 nah fam u seen that wrong or just dont know better. This isn‘t a simple guard pull. It’s a flying triangle that he set up in just a few secs. Jones clinches Rampage, then Rampage starts throwing uppercuts from the clinch. Jones catches the throwing arm of rampage and creates space which allows him to jump perfectly in triangle position due to his leg over rampages right arm. This is so high IQ man jones is goat
Damn look at that quick reflex and reaction of Jones after that missed spinning kick at 7:41
“Rampage is frozen in front of him “ thought I would never hear that in a rampage fight the how he pulls guard for a triangle is that phenomenal
One thing I can say in this fight rampages takedown defense was really underrated
"It's amazing the power you have, when you're covered in blood and none of It's yours"
The look of Rampage at 2:29 vs 24:09 tell you everything. It shows a man beaten down and shaken with the fear of God…
If only more fighters could be as humble and real as Jackson after fights they lose. He jus said it as it was, that the guy he fought simply better. Respect for doing that
Rampage wasn’t letting if fly he had multiple opportunities to bring the fight to Jon but it’s almost like he was fighting to not lose instead of fighting to win, not enough to take on a champion like Jon Jones
Jones definitely found that “waterfall.” “Become Water.” -Bruce Lee
Joe Rogan: what is this
2024 fans: you have no idea
I mean this was clearly the most scared Jones probably ever was and in his first title defence. A lot makes sense now
14:04 it’s like he’s playing a game bro that guy is something special.
And also gained the heavyweight title after 3 years out of the game🤯
Lmao the duality of the two different corners “find your waterfall” “FIGHT AT YOUR TEMPO!”
Wheel kick turned into blocking takedown was insane😮
Jon Jones has worked through 2 different groups of MMA fighters!! He’s coming back let’s see if he can work through 3 and 2 weight classes!!
He did to answer your question😅
@@outlaw6 I never thought he wouldn’t, as a matter of fact I made some money last night betting on Jones in the first 2 rounds!! It was just a question to get answers!
@@waterassassinfishingbuilds6122 I definitely made some money last night as well too the fight I had no doubt about it soon as they said that he has problems with wrestling I already knew John Jones specially over this video where he fought rampage Jackson and how well rounded Jon Jones is i knew soon as he would get him down he was gonna have problems
The Ref was going to break into laughter when the fighters had that staredown.
The fact that jj was just 24 here makes it even more ridiculous 🥶🥶
Wow what a contrast between Rampage's corner and Jones's corner lol.
Had forgotten what a great battle this was, what a performance from both
Rampage had heart but the only one performing was jon jones
I'm watching this once again because I'm about to face a very scary situation. I hope I'm gonna nail it the way Jon did here.

How did the situation turn out?
The respect between the two at the end made me tear up. I love to see two fighters be able to hug and shake hands after getting done with a fight. The blood sports are fun but the respect is rare.
Previously fighters were so humble and appreciate their opponent so much
Wow you can see rampage was about a quarter of a second from being unconscious and when jon let go he kinda regained life and looked at the ref like “thank you”
The thing you realize in any sport is that you don't have to beat your opponent in what they are good at, you only need to drag them to your own domain and destroy them there. Unfortunately for Rampage there are many domains Jon can take him to.
Thanks man for the fight 🙏
7:20 beautiful spinning elbow from a clinch
Rampage post fight interview was as epic as the fight 😂
What a talent Jon jones is
Corner switch audio after the first had me dead lmao
End of the 4th round and then Jones really just decided to stop playing with his food. It was a flawless performance. And when he finally gave Rampage mercy, he decided to just end it quickly by submission out of respect.
In this fight, Jon Jones fought his most terrifying fears that he ever had in his mind. After this fight, he was completely free and was never worried about his opponents, he always knew he would win against them.
Joe Rogan hair was here.
You can not say enough about Jon Jones fight career. Absolute respect and honor to see.
OK
. my computer wants me to WATCH THIS AGAIN!
Are you satisfied?
Rampage was genuinely scared during the fight. At times frozen and shocked
You must be calm to fight a tiger. This fight proves it.
Great upload and great fight 👍
Thank you for this
Jones is not ivincible . . there always is someone out there.
Rampage was gased by the 2nd round. He had alot of opportunities to counter Jones! Jones made alot of mistakes in this fight. Having his hands down after kicks. Even when he made huge mistakes for a counter rampage didn't do anything. He was definitely in his head
every fight starts on the feet, jones be like: hold my cocaine
time to watch jons old fights some more since he’s active again. 🔥
jon had good striking on the outside to go with his reach advantage. quinton made something of good efforts to get on the inside and was hard for jon to hold in position for a lot of the fight, but jon had the foresight and reflexes to see offense coming and good clinches.
Whose here after Tik Tok. Jon Jones said he was scared and intimidated of Rampage Jackson but he still performed extremely well.
Respect Where Respect Is Due , And They Both Deserve Respect
Rampage : I'm fighting the shade?
+ jon pretending to drink from that empty monster can is so funny 😅
