[@Kvngz]

I said this UFC set up Gane, I said this B4 if Francis wasn't injured with his ACL he would have killed Gane, Francis Vs Jones was the fight everyone wanted to really see anyone else in that division who has a chance is Blaydes and pavlovich

[@coryogata]

Now I'm curious about Jones vs other heavyweights in their prime. Can yall imagine Jones vs prime Fedor, or Jones vs Prime Cain?? Interesting stuff

[@joshuatorres1305]

Wish D.C interview Jon after fight

[@Taylorrr-Made]

Didn’t see enough. All that I know after that fight is that Gane has serious holes in his game and if he doesn’t seriously work on his ground game, he will never hold the belt as long as Jon is in the mix. Jon looked lost on his feet, footwork was way off, clearly affected by nerves and Gane lost it all over a defendable takedown. Jon could run through the entire division with his wrestling because most heavyweights refuse to dedicate their time to it.

[@jojozahau]

i mean, i don't know about Jones looking lost on the feet. He controlled all the pacing throughout the fight. More confident on the feet, more connected punch with one clean punch too. Better head movement there. Even if the fight goes Round 3 or further, i see jon jones controlling the fight even on the feet. Gane looks better on the feet, but not using what he's good at and like every fight before, jon will tear him apart in hi s own game. Confidence is key.

He didn’t look lost at all and that’s while he apparently felt goofy on his feet, dude literally slipped one of Ganes strikes to end the fight and controlled the center of the Octagon while it lasted, the things I wanna see is his gas tank and chin, HW have more power then he’s used to and Jones had a gut now so I don’t know how his tank is gonna hold up though I’m sure he’s worked on it since his fight IQ is pretty high.
