Jon Jones on how to SCARE your opponent

UFC legend Jon Jones explains how to utilize elbows to inflict damage and scare the opponent.

[@warrengomez67]

[@jorgemasviballs]

I think it has something to do with elbows being illegal as an amateur, fighters probably don't train throwing elbows for years and by the time they are aloud to their skill level for elbows would be way behind their skill level with everything else

As a boxer, this explanation just scares me. Imagine closing the distance on an opponent with a longer reach to “take some of their power away” just to be met with that. To be fair mma is completely different but still can’t help but imagine haha

[@fidelioal]

Muay Thai is fucking amazing isn’t it. I think it’s the most efficient and brutal striking art.

[@misc.shorts]

Most definitely not the most efficient. Back in the 90s when karate was a serious sport, the karate practitioners used to whoop the mui Thai fighters like 4/5 times. And nowadays people mix mui Thai with American boxing to get a deadly combo. @@fidelioal

[@AJohn0826]

he’s telling the truth, seeing your own blood changes the tone of the fight

[@flashraylaser157]

Mostly agree. I think in street fights though, not like a defender and attacker, but ones planned ahead of time for deep personal emotional reasons with intense, almost homocidal intent, some people can go into the fight knowing they don't give a shit if they end up bleeding. But I've noticed for me personally, not trying to brag or anything, pain and damage have different effects on me. I have a freakish disregard for pain if I want. My technique is to think, five senses, sight, hearing, smelling, taste, and feeling. All kinds if colors I don't like but how can that hurt me to see one? Same for a noise (unless we mean crazy loud). I might hate it but it doesn't hurt. So I think of the pain as a feeling sensation, like cold or hot or an itch, I'm not necessarily really taking that much damage. Then I just literally don't care. But dude, damage. Total opposite. I hate knowing I actually AM taking damage like the pain was trying to warn me of. That's scary because you dread the recovery period, being all fucked up, or even the possibility of never being the same. Pain is a joke compared to that fear.

[@Dimo909]

@@flashraylaser157yeah I totally get you pain is just a feeling, but that feeling from your nerves is telling you is an indicator/warning of potential damage to your body. Kind of how I thought doing workouts. It’s probably completely different but the discomfort and burning in the muscles I knew was in my mind and would have to push through if I wanted to get stronger. But is different when you actually feel pain then need to listen as not to injure yourself and be set back a few weeks

[@flashraylaser157]

@@Dimo909 No I wouldn't say that's completely different. It's still you blocking out pain. We could even argue that it's *exactly* the same for those world record lifters who know they're not only feeling uncomfortable physical sensations but that something might snap during the attempt and that they're taking a gamble by ignoring it. That's extremely like combat actually. As for combat, and maybe that too but I wouldn't know, I find one of the most frustrating things is that the brain doesn't seem to always do a good job making pain proportional to damage. It has all sorts of ulterior motives for increasing and decreasing the pain levels of various organs at various times for whatever reason. Sometimes something can hurt so ridiculously bad that you're gonna be completely fine from in 10 minutes and then other times you won't even feel something and find out after the fight that you straight up broke a bone in your hand or something. Very frustrating.

[@MikeAIright]

I dont think elite power lifters train with knowing there is a possibility of snapping their back. Breaking your hand in a fist fight without knowing you broke it after makes sense as a survival mechanism. Stubbing your toe also makes sense because without your toes you can’t run or balance well so you would get eaten. The funny bone kind of makes sense cuz it tells you be carefull you need that arm maybe?

[@JBJMMA]

​@@MikeAIright It's like his elbows have gone numb kind of like how shins get conditioned and maybe that's why it doesn't hurt him that much

We’re not seeing elbows enough. Coaches should affirm and teach their fighters that in a close range combat, elbows reach the target before the hands. They also cut! Jones might be a cheater but the way he operates proves to me that he is capable of being where he is, with or without steroids. He is a true MMA fighter that knows how to adjust. The game evolved so much yet we’re still seeing one-dimensional fighters such as Colby and Wonderboy and this pisses me off so much.
