Him and Thompson are up there. I trained with Wonderboy a couple years back and he was the best/nicest coach I’ve ever had. Trained super hard, made sure no one lost focus, and really drove in key details. I’ve never met or trained with Ciryl, but I’ve heard from friends of friends who have, that he is an absolute teddy bear.

"A Kazakhstani problem that 16 men have tried to solve but came up short"... Love the intro.

Maybe he says his name like that on purpose?

[@garrettbeno2174]

Love jon jones but the crowd’s disrespect to gane is very annoying. Man deserves respect for his talent, pretty much the only person to go toe to toe with Ngannou in the division.

[@C6LD]

Never thought I’d hear someone say Cyril is a bad defensive striker

[@dr.evil2some847]

He followed that by saying he has good footwork to help, but speaking to the limits in his defensive striking, I've always seen wat Jones is talking about here, but to ur point, I agree, and it almost doesn't make sense to say until someone like Jones says it...

[@Ivanmohler]

Tai caught him flush a few times but as far as hand placement and parrying it’s not that great but his head movement and footwork is great

[@charlesclintonmd]

That’s Jones playing subtle mind games. He knows it’s BS… he’s trying to make a hole in the psych armour

Jones: I barely trained for fights, I didn't stay busy, maybe just a few months or even weeks before sometimes. Jones: I got here by embracing humility and working in the gym every single day.

[@jackwright3792]

I’d give him the benefit of the doubt back when he was young and coked out sure he might not have been training like he should. But I bet the past couple years and leading up to this he’s been training.

[@ethanvillarreal5766]

If this was KZbin 13 years it’d be in a video as proof of ufc being scripted 😂

[@ForrestOutman]

Jon's commentary was really specific and clearly he has done his homework, this is the scariest Jon I think we've ever seen. He is super focused, clean, strong AF, and after the years of constant training his skill set must be both improved and hella sharp. Gane has a strikers chance still, as he's very fast, clean Mechanics, and has ko power. Very excited for this matchup to see where Jon's current skill set is. Three years is an insane amount of dedication to put into moving up to hw

He wasn't excited anymore to fight in that division.

All that talk about the "Greatest of All-Time" must be an enormous motivator for Cyril. No human-being is infallible and I'm leaning towards Cyril putting it on Jon like no one else has ever put it on him. Possible KO for Cyril in my opinion 💪
