Chael Jon broke a lot more than a sweat when he fought Santo, and when he lost to Dominik Reyes. Also in both of his fights with DC, DC moved forward and did not back down, despite being hit!

[@FreePlayMode]

At age 19, Jon Jones was being rejected for The Ultimate Fighter on the basis of being too young and having zero experience, but Dana kept his eye on him. At age 20, he was 6-0 about to pick up the phone and take a call that would change his life. It would be Dana White, offering him a fight on the UFC 87 card to fill in for a fighter against André Gusmão which would be less than 3 weeks AFTER he just finished fighting and AFTER celebrating his 21st birthday.

[@seethemore6360]

If we agree that Dominic Reyes almost beat him, then the key is to pressure him for 100% of the fight, which Dominic did for the first half but not the second. However, Lyoto Machida pressured Jon and was countered into a choke finish when Jon’s corner picked up on his habit. So basically the key to beating Jon is to pressure him the entire time but with diverse and inconsistent techniques, while also having the God tier cardio to do so for the whole fight.

Also highlights Jon's incredible understanding of technique on the ground. Really worth a watch.

You have a great eye for reading between the lines and notice a lot of untangibles in the fight game. There is so much more to combat sports than punches and kicks. Thats one of the reasons i tune in to your channel Chael. Thats a great comparison to mike and his aura. Jones is getting in to that same territory. Its going to take someone like buster. That just doesnt give a sh*t about his resume and is fighting for something bigger than him. The crazy part is we havent seen his full potencial because he has never needed to get there to stay undefeated. He is really the goat when you think about it. A win over Stipe will shut any doubts. He could retire after that if he wanted to.

Jones will catch one of the first kicks Stipe throws and trip him to the mat. Then he proceeds to side position and launches elbow after elbow until it’s called. That’s how the fight will go. Btw when Jon gets Stipe in side control…Stipe will be every bit as scared as Gane was…

[@runningthor1999]

From what I’ve heard, Gustafsson came closest of anyone to beating Bones, and that was the first fight when Jon didn’t take him seriously. Gus was notably the first fighter to match Jones for size, taller by an inch with slightly less reach; he was also a great wrestler with solid takedown defense, good striking and the faster athlete. Physically that’s what’s needed to beat Jones, but you also need an absolutely ferocious mentality to fight smart while also fighting aggressively. You’d absolutely HAVE to force some kind of a mistake and jump on it with everything you had. Playing defense versus Jones is too dangerous… he’ll take you apart given any kind of time. I think you’d need to attack, but damn if I’d know where to start!

[@krislo4788]

[@2robjenkins]

You have to force him to stand in boxing range all fight, Gus in the first fight was able to do that as well as Reyes. I feel like he’s too smart and calculated to make that mistake again. You can’t beat him on the outside and you can’t beat him in the clinch or on the ground.

I've been trying to figure out, why Stipe seems so absolutely certain in his confidence. Jon said he's not done alot of sparring in the striking realm and received a grand total of zero punches and kicks to the face, body or legs from Gane. Is that what Stipe is counting on? The element of surprise? That Jon might be too overconfident and come forward only to get caught with big shots, the likes he's never experienced under the bright lights. Let's also throw in that Stipe weighs over 250 So, for me. It's Stipe that not only could, but will knock Jon Jones out at 40 and shock the World with basic one twos and basic Wrestling attacks, and takedown defence. Maybe a left hook now and again to the body.

But it was a vacant belt before seldon beat tucker. Only the hardcores know why- Foreman was open that he wanted no part of Mike. He refused his mandatory bc he knew where it led him… straight to Tyson. Mike also preferred not to fight Foreman but you got the sense he would have if he had to. Seldon wasn’t exactly the iron chin ppl some reason think. Bowe held the wba not too long prior and he destroyed seldon quicker than Tyson even. There was nothing fixed about it. He was a champion of a vacated belt that was previously held by a man who beat him even quicker. Also, what is this video? Just needed to put Jon Jones in the title and proceed to say nothing.

Everyone was saying that he wasn't human, and that his quick, effortless destruction of Sylvia was just evidence that he could never be beaten. Then he got choked out by Verdum, GnP by Bigfoot, knocked out by Henderson... And at the time he entered his losing streak he had 4 more victories than Jones (who's at 27, 1 NC, 0 losses). We've been here before. People nut hug onto the latest undefeated fighter, because they want to believe that martial arts movies can be real: That there's such a thing as an invincible human. Even if Jones manages to retire undefeated (like Rickson did, by beating up bums in Vale Tudo Japan), he'll still show his humanity like Rickson by being racked with arthritis, and a jacked back after more than a half century of Jiu Jitsu. Or he'll have CTE like Liddell, and probably be driving his car through the window of a Circle K 10 years from now. No one's invincible.

My second issue is that Randy Couture's best position was the clinch or using the clinch to advance to other positions and the last thing you want to do is end up in the clinch anywhere near the cage with Jones. However, yea I could see Couture perhaps being good enough in the clinch make that part of the fight neutral.

Put down the crack pipe.

Jones would have easily picked apart Randy Couture.

How to beat Jon Jones? Someone has to actually fight him, which Gane did not.

[@mrspiff6955]

Gane was scared. Jon got in his head.

[@CodyKonkle]

Jones vs pereira @205 I don't think pereira would look for the out or forget what he was in there for.

[@darrellowings2343]

Keep him centered up and just inside his reach. Work off he's attempts to get back where he wants which is to the side and back. Those reset attempts will be when you make a move and it doesn't have to be shooting for a takedown. A move can be getting in closer and making him grapple standing. Push him against the cage tire him take sting out of those punches. That's my guess. Sergie is probably the best chance right now. Stipe is getting on in age. Francis would be another one if Francis had stayed in this sport passionate and improving but he didn't.

[@lanceanthony198]

Aspinall is 277 lean and a great grappler at heavyweight. Hopefully he gets to the title shot

[@squadabingo9113]

I would imagine that jones wont fight sergei or aspinall. Maybe blades but we'll see. I think he just wants a couple legend fights. Blades has been in top 5 for a while

[@mrspiff6955]

@@squadabingo9113 The UFC won’t let Jon fight those young hungry ones like Blaydes, Aspinall or Spivac. Those guys are true heavyweights with solid grappling. They will protect the myth of Jon being undefeated and unbeatable and use that to sell tickets.

The only man all time that I can think of that would truly walk in the cage with Jon is micro cro cop dude was a savage In saying that Jon jones would take him down and elbow all day

[@jg5004]

I remember when Chael thought Adesanya was capable of beating Jon.

[@2robjenkins]

That fight is a mismatch, jon would smash him bad.

[@RoryTate2176]

He knows how to win. You can't teach that. Whatever level you'll take it to he'll find a level higher that's just enough to get the win if necessary

[@airprok8328]

That’s a good comparison my man

[@budoolove5887]

Invest in low kicks if you can not get taken down. Easier said than done, I know. But Santos and Reyes both had success off them. Especially Santos.

Take his front leg.. stay in the middle of the octagon... feint him to over react... find exit routes when pressured...

[@jimmiefontenot136]

Prime Cain or Fedor at Heavy only ones I think could have had a chance and fights I would have loved to seen. Don't see any 205 that could. Jon the 🐐 fr

[@BendtheMatrix]

Jon Jones is now in the hardest fight he has ever been in. When he called out Stipe after his win @UFC285. Stipe told Weidman that he took those words very personally…well Uncle Chael; to the casual-Stipe is NOT to be fucked with…this is 50/50!

[@DonJonPrinceIpyo]

To beat him, u have to be as long as him, with a mindset close to him, and let him feel what he makes u feel. Legkick him. Take him down.. Tenacity. Calmness. That fighter is unknown as of this moment

[@noicemate9111]

It’s truly amazing how chael makes a living off this type of content 😂

[@parjau4554]

Well, Don Frye for sure would not even be remotely scared - probably actually mildly excited but I think Jones' sophisticated skills would probably be too much for him in the end.

[@fred_fred_fred]

I don't believe that Stipe fears Jon at all. Jon will try to choke Stipe out real fast, he doesn't want the fists. Jon asked if we wanted to see him beat Stipe up, but he meant choke him fast to avoid damage.

[@markheywood8236]

Aspinall is lean and big with very well rounded skills at about 255lbs. His BJJ is probably the best in the HW division. He has good boxing and moves as well as Gane. From a skillset point of view he's the best bet. Pavolvich is a monster. Totally fearless, incredibly powerful. Utterly ruthless. He won't fear Jones and has the capability to hurt anyone. From an attitude point of view he's the best bet. Blaydes is huge. Powerful base, great wrestling background. True true heavyweight. From a size/experience point of view he's the best bet. But it's entirely plausible that Jones could beat them all. He is crazy talented, with great fight IQ and he's a psycho. But spare Stipe. Throw those three guys at him and if he can beat them all in the next 18 months. Then he's the GOAT no question.

[@terrodar19]

I am convinced that jones could go through francis like he did with ciril, maybe a little longer

[@patrickodonohue]

Prime GSP vs John Jones equal size obviously,start at the same time in there careers right through the same era and no drugs in either is what I think would be the ultimate test for both legendary UFC Competitors.Gane may have looked a better fighter than bisping but I feel bisping would have more dog in him and possibly last longer than Gane Saturday night which tells me GSP had to be a great belief and determination in himself just like Jones.I truly believe it's abit like life it's not how you being but where you get to in competition that says alot about the spirit in someone.

[@lucianp2616]

Who wouldn't be scared when Jon Jones takes your neck in the position he had Gane in? They can just look at how Jon almost killed Machida in tape and when they find themselves in the same choke of course they'll tap. Machida didn't tap.

[@mattgehringer8554]

Can never tell who is the butt of the joke and what is actually being said with Chael, but I absolutely love it. And will watch every video

[@stan7722]

The genius of Chael P.

[@tangerinesarebetterthanora7060]

I feel like only a wrestle-boxer could beat Jones. Jones isn't the best boxer and lacks the power that many MMA fighters possess with their punches. With stellar take down defense, a very high fight IQ, and powerful punches somebody could win. Working the mid range is how to handle him since long range he has devastating kicks and short range he has nasty elbows and knees.

[@meatchip4111]

Aspinal is an interesting match up

[@FangKingg]

Ok I got the formula. We have JJ fight 3 matches in one night 2 divisions so gotta weight in at 205 AND we doing it on the night of the party week against Gus. First match at LHW is against Gus still. Second match is against HW DC. Third match is against MJW in a movie where MJW is the protagonist. If that don’t work all bets off we call in Chuck Norris, Uncle Chael and Thanos for a 3v1

[@focusedpeyton8910]

I love how he puts on for Jon lol. That’s respect

[@AQiugs]

If i had a time machine i would go back in time to the moment before i watched this video and poke myself in both eyes.

[@mattmagee546]

The only time machine match I could think of where he might possibly be outmatched may be a prime Cain

[@BendtheMatrix]

Ok playing the Time Machine game; 90s Tyson would catch Jon, he’d avoid the takedown & overwhelm him. Early 2000s Couture would get his hands on him. What do you think about that!? Do you think ol Randy woulda been scared? But you’re right. Rn; @ Heavyweight, Jones would find away to beat Fedor; he would beat any other man I can think of ; & I’m 37! Fun game. That’s why men have guns. Cuz guys like Jones exist.

[@birchgarcia8243]

In the Octagon's harsh embrace, a clash of titans, bone and grace. Jon Jones, the lion, sleek and strong, a predator where he belongs. But Miyagi, the bonsai's might, eyes serene, a hidden light. The bell tolls, a primal roar, Jones strikes first, lightning to the core. Elbows fly, a whirlwind's dance, Miyagi parries, gives him chance. Then, quick as wind through cherry leaves, a crane kick soars, the fighter weaves. But Miyagi's palm, a whisper soft, deflects the blow, leaves Jones aloft. Suspended, eyes wide with surprise, Jones tastes defeat in Miyagi's eyes. A gentle touch, a whispered word, the lion's fury, now unheard. Balance shifts, the tide turns slow, Miyagi's foot, a falling snow. Jones crumples, form in disarray, the bonsai master wins the day. The crowd erupts, a joyous sound, Miyagi bows, humility profound. For victory, in ancient lore, lies not in power, but in the core. So let this tale a lesson be, in every fight, find harmony. For strength is found in nature's grace, and wisdom whispers, "Find your space."
