I think "frustrating" is one of the most accurate descriptions of Jon Jones on so many levels

[@trowabarton101]

Soooooo many levels

[@sonny061188]

I felt bad for Rampage in this fight. Similarly to Shogun there were moments in this fight where Rampage didn’t know what to do because nothing was working and looked frozen.

[@dun0790]

I was devastated by the shogun fight i was a massive fan and jones just shut him down and made him look like a child its one of the most surreal fights ever if you show shogun before that

[@NinjaDildoShow]

[@honeybadger3655]

Jon's timing is not brought up enough. He had the great ability to throw his strikes just before his opponents would. Like he'd pick up on their tells and throw just a second before they would and get them to freeze and eventually feel stuck not knowing what to do

[@yungugh1-689]

But learned to defend it realy quick after complaining about it like 'page did And because of that he even developed a deadly one himself due to how effrctive it is. IMO his is the most effective one ever besides Jons. You can definitely train to avoid it though. Its just rampage was too flat footed and couldnt fight backwards very well or switch stances.

Notice that Jon criticized Rampage for focusing too much on playing video games instead of training and many years later, ahead of his debut at HW against Cyril Gane, he also criticized him from focusing too much on playing video games

[@kingcrimson3882]

Jon Jones hates video games confirmed

[@DedicatedSpartan]

He actually tells people how to strategize to beat a guy like him. A lot of fighters tried yo beat him one way they felt ( and some times accurately so) they were better. Jon used everything to beat them most of the time.

Jones said he was afraid of rampage before the fight because he was too scary and he still beat him in a very dominant way. on the other hand, Rampage said that he fought with Jones in the best way.physical form and made no excuses saying that he was injured, assumed Jones' brilliance and acknowledged his defeat

[@chrismack5998]

the front kick at 4:51 was so slick, the guy has no telegraph

[@DyNaStYmAn928]

I love how Martial puts a replay on shots that rampage was complaining about that landed cleanly and legally. Specifically kicks and elbows. Rampage is just bitter cus he got his ass whooped.

[@rbxee]

whilst being legal, doesnt change the fact its dirty. the oblique kick is widely regarded as dirty. however i completely disagree when rampage complained about the spinning elbows.

[@Uzi16_29]

@@rbxee you really think an oblique is anymore dangerous than taking an elbow to the skull? This sport is ruthless even without the oblique kick buddy

[@rbxee]

@@Uzi16_29 overall a dirty shot that could potentially ruin a career, whilst the spinning elbow requires timing and leaving the offender widely exposed. not once did i complain about the brutality of the spinning elbow but if that’s what ya took from it.

[@andrewwilkins3014]

It can ruin a career quicker yes… they know what signed up for but if someone didn’t let up on a joint lock and popped it. That is dirty, this gives no chance to tap

[@Hehemann007]

Nothing on the accusations of eyepoking though. Jones loves to poke eyes and that can't denied. He sticks his fingers out when ever the enemy comes forward. I have no problem with oblique kicks and spinning elbows since they are legal within the rule set. Eye pokes are not. He is so good that he doesn't have to eye poke, but he still does. Has there been one Jones fight without at least 2 pokes? He is still GOAT

[@Hamzethegoat]

Jones was so ahead of his time it’s crazy

[@drunkenmmamaster419]

Rampage been going around talking about Jon spinning elbows landing on the back of the head, well looked like it landed right on his forehead. I remember he kept calling Jon a kid leading up to this fight. Loved Rampage but he got abused in this fight. That's what Jon did to most fighters, by the 3rd or 4th round they just didn't want to be in there anymore. No he doesn't have knock out power but I bet most of his opponents rather get knocked out in the first round than abused for 5.

[@JohnWilliams-jr3xp]

Exactly! I was watching this with my cousin and I told him I'd rather get kod in seconds rather than elbow, kneed, kick in the knee, over the course of 4 rounds and choked out.

[@edgar22452]

Jon is a bit overrated lol.

[@darkclaw1462]

@@edgar22452 It's true though, I'd rather face a quick one shot KO punch than get my knee hyper-extended from an oblique kick, cartilage In said knee torn up from hard knees In the clinch, my shoulder popped and dislocated out of place, the front of my forehead torn to pieces from slicing elbows (spinning or not), my feet stomped, shoulder strikes delivered to my chin, and my eyes gouged.

I mean honestly, I think stomps, 12 to 6 'bows, soccer kicks, headbutts, blows the the back of the head- basically everything but eye gouging, fish hooking and small joint manipulation should be legal. It's a simulation of a real fight and in a real fight, none of these things would be off limits so if it's a possibility, train to defend it or don't fight

[@chasesmoot313]

Ur the same person that likes to see fighters die 😭

[@TheEnderBand]

@@chasesmoot313 yeah because, there have been so many deaths in Pride and Vale Tudo where all of these techniques were legal. All I want is for the sport to be as faithful to a real fight as possible within reason. All of the techniques I describe have effective defenses, just like any other. There's just as much of a chance to kill someone if not more with a brutal spinning head kick (which are totally legal) as any of the things I mentioned which are currently against the rules. You obviously don't know much about the history of combat sports

[@Nkosi_Jones]

A shot to the back of the head can paralyze you, r u insane?

[@FIGHT101TV]

2:06 is a tactical move to scare the opponent. Like a scorption crawling towards you to attack. Notice rampage backing away ! Jon is elite .

[@wayfaringstranger8430]

It's a tactic to fuck with the opponent by sticking his head forwards. It makes it so whoever is fighting can't do anything because head kicking him would get them disqualified.

[@thorn3802]

It ain't that deep bud. Humans naturally fear things that are usually bigger than ourselves. So it's actually the opposite of that. No reason to fear a man closer to the ground

[@jstn4320]

no it’s because Jon kept having nightmares of being KO’d at the start of the fight in the lead up. this was his way of altering the events that played out in his head over and over.
