Jon has one of the highest fight I.Q of all time across the board. Another thing people always forget is that how crazy his chin and stamina is to be fighting in championship rounds for over a decade is INSANE.
Hes literaly cleared a lh division of monsters 2 times and moved up and obliterated a hw he is the goat for sure. Hes in great shape bc of his dominance he hasnt taken that much punishment like some which is why he is still like he is
@@lane_positive_vibesbodybui7927are you crazy? Reyes landed some of the r hardest shots Jon has ever taken and he ate that shit like it was nothing . DC landed some nasty upcuts and Jon wasn’t even phased
@@imblackwhite4662 each dude lands a few strikes on a chin that’s never been touched yeah I’m right don’t care. Personally I think Reyes beat jones but that doesn’t change the facts here that he’s rarely been hit at all and the shots that hit him didn’t do shit
That trip after rocking Cormier was immaculate, instead of rushing him and trying to bombard him like other fighters would, he instead tripped him knowing that he’s already rocked and the rest is history
What fucks me up is how it’s literally the left fucking high kick to the brain 😭 bro Jon is a different type of beast and idk how to comprehend it 💯😭🔥🔥🔥
nah bro in ancient times fighting was everything and decided about life and death often times. Im sure there were even greater fighters than Bones in human history
People don’t give Jon credit for that Gane fight, but Gane is a big guy, he’s active, his striking is great, and he has power. For Jon to come back to mma 3 years removed, and fight the biggest guy he’s ever faced, and to finish him in the first round is super impressive. I thought it would go at least 3 rounds.
Gane was probably both the most dangerous and easiest fight of Jon’s career. He never fought Rumble sadly and that would definitely be his most dangerous fight had it happened.
@@arronjoseph8948 didn’t say he would beat Jones, it’s likely he wouldn’t have. However, to dismiss the fact that Rumble could KO Jones is absolutely ignorant. Jon Jones hasn’t fought anyone with the kind of power Rumble had at that time. Santos had power but blew both legs out and couldn’t show it. Anyone can get caught, look at Silva vs Weidman, it’s fairly obvious that Weidman was never gonna be and wasn’t better than Silva even when he KOd him. Silva got cocky and got caught and Weidman did nothing but shit the bed basically the entire rest of his career.
You cannot say that his massive reach is not a huge advantage. His build is a big part of why he's the best fighter p4p of all time. Probably in the history of man kind.
His reach does play a big part for sure. But only because he knows how to use it. It's really a combination of everything. Reach, athleticism, incredible instincts, he's super smart (high fight IQ etc), and he dominates the psychological game.
It’s because he is long and it’s an advantage, significant one and he knows how to use it well, his height and reach helps him with attacks and chokes. That is what I always thought about him, he has a gift and he uses it well, I imagine growing up with his older brother he learned how to use his gift well and the men that are smaller than him dont have a chance, only people who gad a chance was Reyes and Gustafsaon, guys his own size. The only people who really gave him trouble.
DC: "Don't think that you're gonna kick me in the head with your left leg. Me after the events took place and are engrained to the internet forever: *"DAMN DC... DAMN"* 🤦🏾♂️😮💨😭🤷🏾♂️😅
Jones vs Cormier was one of the best rivalries in the history of the UFC!! 2 elite guys that genuinely thought they were the baddest dude.... and they didn't disappoint 🙌 👏
He has great physical gifts but he has the ability to be cool under fire and use those gifts to their full potential. That’s why he’s the greatest big man in mma history
Of course his fighting IQ is off the charts because knowing the technique is important but knowing how and when to use it and how to implement everything together is what's MMA is all about so all the best fighters has a high fighting IQ
I think his natural size and reach advantage has helped throughout his career but he has used his limbs fully to his advantage. And one thing you can’t deny is, that he’s got no quit on him. Down on the cards, he’s always ready to switch it up or put a championship pace on his opponents.
His fight Iq is the highest in MMA history. The way he’s able to know what attacks to use and when to engage and not engage is incredible. A special talent
His fight IQ had always been praised. He was doing comic book moves when he first entered the UFC. He was always mixing it up, no one knew what was coming next and he always adapted
physique is because I’m so great. There’s a fine line between a hard worker & someone who is naturally talented. I walk that like with ease. I am the most well rounded mixed martial artist to ever live. But I had to work hard for this.”
Despite his problems that he had... his wildness... drug issues ... He truly is an exceptional fighter. His front kick to peoples knees ruined careers. Some say he was dirty, but others say he's elite. He's definitely gonna go down as one of the Greatest to ever be in the UFC.
Very hard to change your habits when tired later in a fight. You see it with Dillan Whyte as well. Always getting caught with uppercuts in the middle rounds. You just go back to what is comfortable.
Do sneaky that that after the head kick has DC hurt he goes instead of head hunting he goes for a leg kick that completely gets DC spun around. Jones is so calm under pressure.
I feel like people forget how long jones has been fighting at the top level. He’s just good everywhere and he has a tendency to beat you in the same way you thought you were going to beat him
Being long helps, but I've seen boxers and fighters in MMA have that attribute and either don't use it or don't know how to. What's funny to me is if you were to design two body types to be a fighter, one would be Jon, the other DC. I loved listening to Daniel talk about Jon's fight IQ
Jon and dc was a good example of bad habits coming back to bite you , instead of working on a new technique dc relied on his wrestling and didnt care for his bad habits and so he was exposed
The crazy part is I agree with Daniel Cormier about Jon Jones. He keeps having issues with PED’s and I really don’t think he needs them! I have to give props and say he is definitely a raw talent and tactical fighter
No fighter understands the game like this dude... It's not even close. Then physically he is able to pull it all off. Tom is the only guy I see taking him out and that mainly has to due with age and being up a division. Otherwise, he's going out undefeated.
