That's so true but in reality Jon was just a whole level above D.C and D.C is levels above alot of other people.. Jon is the best there has ever been.

[@Bill_Dippertly]

I don’t know how anyone can beat Jones besides being really fast circling and point fighting. I think Aspinall has the best chance but Jones wont risk his legacy. Him not fighting Aspinall is dodging, most people wont remember this but the hardcore fans will when they talk about the greatest of all time.

[@mexicanamerican8062]

Ok this I'm reading is ridiculous! Aspinal is ok buy hasn't really even been tested. Jon fight IQ is so much higher than anyone I can't see him being defeated by anyone let alone Aspinal... Jon will beat anyone who is put in front of him and make it look like it's easy. Look at what He just did with the title! Look what he's done with his whole career! Just .... silence to anyone who would doubt it... I say this as an person that has been in the cage at the heavyweight division. Not in the ufc but at smaller promotions.. Its difficult no mistakes at heavyweight or light heavyweight.. or your night is over.. To see him fight is awesome because it's so difficult and grueling as the training is The fight is the easy part.. The fun part... Jon has fun and makes it look like your weren't on his level..

@@johnwittich460to be fair, I think Jon was taking cocaine before every fight

[@fuuf7092]

All in the reach. 🥸 What blew my mind was when i looked at floyds record. Floyd had a monster reach for his divisions and the only people in his WHOLE career that had more reach than him were mgregory de la and Paul, and you saw how them went. Ducked anyone with reach like lara, margarito, Khan, Williams etc its no coincidence that fighters like floyd, izzy, jj etc hugely succesful, also had huge reach advantages vs their rivals and fought a reach merchant running style. Combat sport is littered with examples of the less skilled rangier fighter using reach to jab and hug and run to wins vs the more skilled smaller fighter. Recently aj vs ruiz, went to war and aj got whooped, then in the return, aj switched to jabbing hugging and running to an easy W. Usyk was too skilled for this. Usyk is goated. Duran vs Leonard 1, went to war, duran won Duran Leonard 2, Leonard used his reach advantage to run 🏃‍♂ to what was gonna be an easy victory until Duran quit as he wasn't there to play tag these fighters usually have boring fights because they fights a running defensive reach merchant fight, refusing to take any risk hiding behind reach to get the W. Anderson Silva was the same, Jon jones, great against the smaller guys with 85 reach, but when fighting his own size, like reyes gustaffson etc he arguably lost Its easier to fight defensively with a huge reach advantage but its much harder funking someone up taking a few risks. Speed power timing etc can be improved but reach cannot, and it can be decisive when paired with a defensive style. Khamzat was berated by his coach for going to war instead of using his reach adv to make it an easy fight. Smaller fighter needs to be more skilled than the longer fighter to be successful, like a usyk, pac, tank, dc, canelo mike tyson etc Reach advantage combined with a safety first running style is massively overlooked. Not saying fighters should change how they fight, but that we should recognise why some fighters had the success they did. Izzy is elite, but much of his success was due to his reach advantage vs his rivals. Got outstruck by Jan on the feet, Alex landed more than izzy in their fights, one time he abandoned his safety first reach merchant style vs gastelum and nearly got KOd by a B rated fighter. This is why when these type of fighters face someone their own size, they no longer look like the GOAT striker, they end up going life and death, like jj vs reyes, gustaffson, or izzy vs jan and alex. izzy, silva, gane etc usually stay on the end of their reach, refusing to take any risk. Breaking the shorter man down from where there is no threat of retaliation, before going in for the kill. The shorter fighter has to lunge in to connect and so are at a great disadvantage. Many fighters have had the success they had largely due to this advantage they had vs their rivals. The smaller fighter needs to be more skilled than the longer fighter to overcome this, and even then, e.g with Rob vs izzy, its still very hard Thankfully for us fans, not all fighters with reach fight like this, although they would be more successful if they did but the sport would be dead Izzy said it best himself when he said Costa will be easy as he has t rex arms and won't reach😮

There is no better mouthpiece for the sport moving forward. It kills his soul to admit how good Jon is, but he discusses it in a way that both lets you know he means it, and that he knows from experience. He also doesn't try to blow Jon up, trying to diminish his losses to him, or exaggerate anything as of to justify losing... He just says it like it is, speaking facts, and having nothing but honor and respect for a fellow warrior. Nothing but respect for the man, he has well beyond earned his flowers IMO.
