Is Jon Jones the next Micheal Jordan of MMA?

King Mayan · 03-22-11, 03:18 PM

Let him fight people his own size... Then we will see....

spankie · 03-22-11, 03:28 PM

He would probably destroy Michael Jordan at basketball too.

Jon Jones is an MMA god, everyone hates him because hes black.

Racists!

he fights guys at his same weight, what else you want him to do?

OneLossParlayGuy · 03-22-11, 03:33 PM

and I think Phil Davis can give Jones problems if he can get inside and get a hold of him.

he could never fight anyone his own size if he weighed 220. the heavy weights way 250+. anyone that walks around at 220 fights at 205.

Grind House · 03-22-11, 03:54 PM

HA! The whites are hot seeing their sport being ran the the best. Stick to watching hockey.

What do you mean everyone hates him? Seems like he is extremely popular with fans and the media.

Remember reading Forrest Griffin was walking around at 240 before the Rich Franklin fight. Fairly standard practice. Additional height or reach is no reason to change weight class either.

Precisely, and Usain Bolt's long legs, Michael Phelps' enormous arm span-to-body ratio, and Lance Armstrong's physiological inability to feel the full affects of lactic acid, should mean they aren't legends either.

Lets just watch sports that involve average humans compete at a lower, but equal level, and shun the elite physical specimens as the freaks they are!

Forrest??

so you are comparing non- contact sports to full contact MMA... like I said before go fight a dude with an extreme weight and reach advantage...

leafs_ducks · 03-22-11, 04:56 PM

Guys a beast don't think anyone can handed him at 205. I like to see a rampage and bones fight.

Soxsfan9 · 03-22-11, 05:00 PM

My friends and I had this discussion on satruday night, everyone in that division has a big run, wins the title and then they can not defend it. Look at Liddell he was champ for the longest, then rampage came in and everyone figured he would rule for a while. Then Machida won it and everyone said no one could touch him, then shogun dominated him. Then everyone figured shogun was healthy and was going to rule the division.

I do agree that Bones is really gifted and young but I doubt that he rules the division without a couple of losses here or there.

MMAdisciple · 03-22-11, 05:01 PM

Hmm let's see who Jones beat:

Fat boy Jake O'Brien.

Journeyman Bonnar.

B level Bader.

Old ass Vlad.

C level Vera.

Post-surgery Rua.

Not sold. Rashad whoops that ass.

mrtomk · 03-22-11, 05:04 PM

I'm saying within all sports there are athletes with unique physical attributes which make them ideally suited to that sport. Saying it is unfair for Jones to fight at 205 because of his height and reach is the same as saying its unfair for any of the above to compete in their chosen field because of their physical make-up. If he makes 205, he makes 205, therefore, he can fight at 205, along with everyone else who cuts weight to fight at 205.

Once they made Travis Lutter, they broke the mold

You've got to be kidding me... lol. You must be one of those guys who say he still isn't proven.
Rashad is getting murdered.

spankie · 03-22-11, 06:50 PM

Rashad will get killed unfortunately, cuz I like Rashad, he's a good dude.

No way he will stand a chance vs Jon Jones.

Sure are alot of square mma folks around here.

ttrace35 · 03-22-11, 06:58 PM

Yea. Bunch of mma noobs. Have him fighting everybody 155 to 260.

k13 · 03-22-11, 07:14 PM

Any line on the next fight?

Rod1010 · 03-22-11, 07:15 PM

Hi hater.

Hater, do you think Shogun could stop Jones takedowns if he were healthy? If so, why? Having better cardio doesn't help if you're being taken down at will a minute into the fight.
Jones has some of the most vicious GNP in mma. He seems to break a bone every time he ground and pounds someone. I think he might have broken shoguns ribs.

Gotta agree. This has to be the dumbest quote ever. Every division cuts weight even some heavyweights cut.

leafs_ducks · 03-22-11, 08:12 PM

His height n reach has an advantage over all his competition. Rua couldn't even hit him. Too much advantage.

Hi, stupid name.

Stupid name, no, I don't think Shogun could stop Jones' takedowns at 100 percent. But that doesn't give Jones the fight. Machida took (healthy) Shogun down twice and Shogun was right back up.

Now if you have to guess about Shogun's injuries, you probably don't know much.

Hater, don't be mad. hater, you're an idiot. You are comparing Machidas wrestling to Jones. You have no clue what you're talking about. I won't even tell you why. Figure it out yourself.
Listen hater, Shogun doesn't want any more of that. Ever. Do your boy a favor and never speak of it again. If they fight again, it will be ugly.
