In MMA there are certain sets of skills that you can learn, practice, and improve over time, but there are also certain qualities and attributes that you're just born with. Jon Jones is the perfect mix off all these attributes; high level striking, wrestling, take down defense, ect. But also an unbelievably gifted natural athlete, like professional (nfl, nba) level athlete with the perfect body type for fighting. Wing span of a pterodactyl. Dude is an apex predator.

He made Shogun Rua... one of the toughest men on planet earth tap to strikes to win the title. That right there is enough to be goat status.

[@benpietrzykowski9216]

Oh, and as a 23 year old kid. I’m 22 now I understand how crazy that is, always thought you were fully grown but for his fight iq to be that high that young is hard to believe . Just born to fight , simple as that

[@ztonz]

@@MagnusTheUnholy I wish I could have seen them both fighting each other in their primes

[@Wrestleman1432]

@@benpietrzykowski9216It’s basically the fact that he has really long limbs with a high fight iq and crazy strength from the roids that he was blasting. If you notice he constantly tries to break their legs with oblique kicks and goes for liver shots with his long ass legs which he almost always lands and he even cheats sometimes by eye gouging them. He just does whatever he can to absolutely destroy his opponents when he’s fighting them. Jon jones is a really smart dude but people think he’s an idiot for making dumb decisions and going to jail but you gotta be intelligent to do what he does. You don’t just get like that from training hard. Khabib is an example of a dude that trains hard and performs well unlike Jon jones who just fucks around in life and beats everybody. If jones trained like khabib he would’ve been absolutely terrifying lmao.

[@benpietrzykowski9216]

@@Wrestleman1432 I also believe tho if jones was as disciplined as khabib it would take some of his strengths away lmao. I think being an absolute lunatic psychopath who wants to end the life of their opponents doesn’t have the capacity to be disciplined . It’s the balance of nature once again

[@Uuyrijies1123]

Young Jon Jones is the GOAT of MMA, at least for me. The new Jones is much more cautious, smart and neutralizes his opponents. Of course, I don’t mind but he isn’t that hungry anymore. Young Jones was more sociopathic and wanted to beat his opponents rather than just win. But that’s just my opinions. PEDS or not, he’s still a talent.

[@billj4525]

I remember watching this a long time ago. Watching Jon Jones dominate someone as good as Shogun was shocking. I remember when Shogun got on top of Jon real quick in the 3rd round and Jon just immediately overpowered him and get back on top. It was nuts, it looked like such an extreme mismatch. Like a top MMA fighter vs a guy who's never fought. Unbelievable watching that fight, poor Shogun who's a very legit fighters, but Jons the GOAT for sure. That was just brutal. At the time Jon was an unknown. People weren't sure how he would do vs Shogun either.

Jon Jones at his best has no rivals or competition...He ran through the division and not to mention beating DC twice without a struggle

[@darkclaw1462]

Not to mention being the first UFC fighter and LHW champion to finish Rampage Jackson Inside the octagon In his prime at 100%, and the 3rd fighter In history to finish Rampage In his professional MMA career along with MMA legends such as Kazushi Sakuraba and Wanderlei Silva. When breaking It down like that It's very understandable why a literal Four-time U.S. World Team member, Five-time U.S. Nationals champion, 2003 Pan American Games gold medalist, and a two division UFC champion like Daniel Cormier would've understood that Jon could've still beaten him even without steroids, at his core Jon truly has a gift of destiny from god as Khabibs father (RIP). Jon Jones Is undoubtedly the GOAT, as much he's had his demons, flaws, and numerous set backs, however that doesn't change what he's accomplished, not to mention so other sports legends or polarizing sports figures have sinned as much as Jon has such as Mike Tyson, Lance Armstrong, Michael Jordan, etc. they've all had to deal with humility, before becoming men. And so without Jons demons, It's clear to see that Jon wouldn't be as great as he Is now and he wouldn't have Inspired fans like me to become a huge fan of MMA as much as I have now. And for that I thank him. Because truth be told, no amount of steroids or any substance of drugs are going to help achieve this level greatness. PERIOD.
