He isn't really that fundamentally sound though, in fact other fighters and commentators always say, don't try and replicate the way Jon Jones fights because it will not work for people that aren't him. He's just long, athletic and incredibly smart (INSIDE the ring).

Jon has developed a variable attack with literally each leg both from staggered and squared up stances. It’s amazing how he’s able to be so agile and quick that he can snap a front kick with KO power as easily as an equally debilitating oblique kick.

He’s been out so long I forgot how beautiful it is to watch him fight his distance management and way he mixes up his attacks is unmatched

Reyes had success because he bum rushed jones with combinations and was able to get inside. Reyes is not a counter striker at all he’s aggressive and offensive. Jan is a counter striker, and as we’ve seen over the history of jones fighters that sit back defensively and wait to counter get picked apart by jones reach. The only success we’ve seen against Jon is very aggressive strategy.

His greatest weakness is boxing n combos with hands crazy how he is still undefeated tho

Jon is so well versed it just seems like people who fight him stay in that first round feel lout vibe cause he just keeps coming out with new moves, knees to the leg, shoulders to the jaw, kicks straight up the middle, kicks to the knee, elbows, so well versed

Your videos are getting soooo good

Truly watching a master at work. 5 rounds of utter dominance. Nobody like him.

Literally, every position he has the right moves and reactions

Jon is the most naturally gifted fighter of all time. He just understands one on one combat like no other human. He’s also a true mixed martial artist. There isn’t any position where he isn’t dominant and lethal. Hes fought so many specialists and beat most of them at their own game

Truely with legendary martial prowess,

Those kicks are just destructive , no idea where it comes from or what the target area is .... He mixed it up so well versatile as hell

I’m a simple man. I see Jon Jones, I click.

I’m glad you shared this in the light of smith saying jon isn’t that good. Thank you

Ref stroking his back is crazy 🤣

my favorite technical destruction in that fight was the knee to the head

cant wait to see jon fight heavyweight man. that is a VERY dangerous man.

This fight is at least tied for my personal favorite fight along with a number of others but its particularly special due to Jones being my all time favorite fighter by far. Such a treat watching him win the belt against shogun and then never ever losing since. He has a certain mentality, a brilliant darkness about him in the cage that other fighters don't have. Its so special that he can spend a fight camp doing cocaine and drinking consistently, instead of training, and still win. Not only win, but go 5 rounds and secure the win in the FIFTH fucking round with pure demonic grit. Love this shit

People saying Smith was salty is kind of ridiculous if you remember he could have easily not continued after that illegal blow by Jones! He kept fighting which shows 1 IMPORTANT THING! He honestly wanted to earn victory in the cage vs Jones, the Win itself was not more important than Smith’s own competitive integrity. Thats a true fighter, rather continue a losing battle than to be given any free or un-earned victories. And for Smith to say after or even before the fight that Jones was not “that good” or that “Jon Jones is human like everyone else” is not him being salty its a fighter believing in himself and his ability to make improvements even after losing, he’s trying to learn and or gain what he can from the loss. For any fighter to just say they are just not good enough or cant beat Jones after losing to him would mean they probably should not be in the UFC to begin with.. at that level if you dont have the belief in yourself that you have what it takes in you to be the champ in your weight class, well than your just going to get yourself hurt unfortunately. We have seen SO MANY fighters UFC & Boxing handle defeat poorly and conduct/present themselves awfully in the same situation as Smith was in, its a shame. So I tip my hat to the man, respect should be shown to those that earn it. Especially from us fans watching from OUTSIDE the cage!

Jones works everything and well and just controls every aspect of his fights it’s really amazing

Greatest of all time

Herb was channelling his inner mazagatti with the two points deduction 🤣🤣🤣

It's actually terrifying to think about just how many weapons Bones has in his arsenal lol, in the Smith fight alone he must've used over 100 different attacks...I hope he has that same diversity as a HW.

I hope Smith realizes this was a near-death experience for him, that Jones was just oh so close to literally murdering him in that ring.
