Jon Jones' technical destruction of Rashad Evans

I don't ever want to fight someone who can throw elbows from punching distance.

[@fightingcontext3880]

He lands a flush elbow down the middle from before he even gets into full guard, with Rashads feet on his hips, that reach is insane, I can see why Greg Jackson ditched Rashad, Jones is a once in a lifetime dream find for any trainer.

[@siraha4837]

because he got the longest reach at 84 inch so its always dangerous the way he fakes the bunch and follows to throw an elbow is a peace of art.

it is hard to 'separate the art from the artist' especially in this regard. people need to be held accountable for their actions regardless of how insane their achievements are/were. this does not mean you throw the art away, it means you reflect upon it even more. the dude was an absolute weapon, and it's easy to appreciate his skill; it should be just as easy to recognize the bad in his personal life. you can have both at the same time and be an adult about it for free

[@sdalal1110]

Jon Jones put on an absolute clinic against Evans with his masterful use of elbows. He really pioneered how elbows can be used in MMA, seamlessly blending grappling with striking. From folding over the elbow with a double hand trap, to faking a takedown into a spinning back elbow, to pressing opponents into the fence and landing devastating strikes-his creativity is unmatched. Jones’ elbows showcase the unique way grappling and striking interact in MMA, and it’s a perfect example of how he’s always been ahead of the game.

[@stefanomasci7104]

Jon Jones has always fought with a lot of physical advantage, not only because of his size but also the age difference, he and Evans are 10 years apart. Evans, Shogun, Rampage, Belfort, Lyoto and Sonnen are from the old MMA generation. He wouldn't be undefeated if he had to fight opponents physically similar to Gustafsson and with a fighting style that was difficult to beat.

[@Hasbulla17]

When jon beats them they're just old huh😂 totally not legends of the sport

[@bonnymathebula007]

He was just better than them. He was even younger in terms of experience.

[@straightlusac]

Evans, Rampage, Shogun were around 33 or 34 when Jones became the champ. They weren't old, Jones was a rookie with great talent

[@bonnymathebula007]

@straightlusac Exactly. 33 to 36 is far better than twenties in Prime + experience.

[@user-mh6nm5mv4b]

Rashad was 32 and 17-1 when they fought 😂😂 literally in his prime

[@ricardobjj24]

Jon was just so much bigger than his opponents he just needed to be technical and he could win easily. I thought he shouldve moved up years ago

[@NickRHT]

Me too especially since he'd brag about throwing around heavyweights which I believed it's a rumble situation as like why you scared to move up they'd still be destroying the upperweight classmen thay have / had the talent to do so
