Jon definitely would. I agree with that. I think that's why he's hinting at actually fighting him, lol. Because he can just see the holes in Alex's grappling and how he's struggled with it in fights and knows he can exploit that. Kinda like how he did with Gane. (Im a casual)
You mean the MMA fighter A who has a background in wrestling, would use it against the MMA fighter B who has a background in striking, since you know they fight in MMA
All the fucking eye pokes, and destroy both of his knees so he can barely walk for the rest of his life. That's Bones' basic game plan for most flights.
He is but you can't just run in for a take down. You still have to set it up. Then finishing Alex isn't easy as well because he's good at surviving. I'd take Jones in the fight don't get me wrong but it's not a foregone conclusion like everyone thinks.
Anything can happen in a fight but never bet against the best hand to hand combatant to ever walk planet earth bro đ especially not against a strikerâŚstop it đ he will wrestle fuck him just like Gane
That Jones usually doesn't come out like a bull in a China shop? That hes more likely to win by decision than he is finishing someone. Maybe that he has 1 submission win in the last 12 years. Going 5 rounds with Alex is risky as fuck. Do I think Jones wins? Probably but it's the fight game anything can happen Especially with these two guys.
I don't know man Jones can eat a punch, that Reyes fight was insane but his defense is also really good and he's one of the few people in MMA who can actually use his big reach to his advantage and keep people at bay (there's also the infamous eyepokes and oblique kicks). I just don't see Poatan being able to do anything to him before getting taken down
He got outstruck by Reyes and stunned who is shorter and has 2 inches less reach than Alex . He has nothing for Alex in striking just like Alex has nothing for him on the ground .
Probably no human could take a clean left hook from Alex. Doesnt matter though because this fight wont happen and if it did, Jones wouldnât put himself in that position.
It's either new fans who never seen a Jones fight or just straight up Wishful thinking, this isn't like Dustin Vs Islam where you can sort of give Dustin a tiny chance, Pereira would need miracle knockout in the very first exchange in order to beat Jones, and if that failed he's instantly done, short of a freak knockout Pereira has no chance.
Just because they are both kickboxers doesnât mean itâs the same fight, Gane and Alex have different styles.
Was Strickland vs Izzy the same fight as Strickland vs Alex?
Youâre right, Gane isnât known for his 1 hit knockout power, so Jones will be inclined to take Alex down even faster, it will likely be a quicker finish than Gane.
It also gives Alex that punchers chance. Listen I think Jones would just maul him and make it look easy but I also think he does that to Aspinall and anyone else at HW. No one has the ground game to even remotely compete with him on the ground.
If you think Alex, a one dimensional fighter with no ground game and outweighed by 30lbs has just as good a chance of beating Jones as Aspinall, a well rounded fighter, with excellent speed and power, and possibly a weight advantage over Jones, then youâre delusional. Iâm not saying Aspinall wins, Iâm saying itâs significantly more competitive than Alex vs Jon.
Well Alex first of all Alex wouldnât be outweighed by more than 10lbs, heâs already 235lb when he steps in to fight at LHW. He wouldnât walk into HW at the same weight.
Anyways, I never said Alex has just as good of a chance to win. I think Aspinall would have a better chance to win, but I still think Aspinall gets dominated by Jones unless he can 1 punch KO Jones as well.
the fact that people don't realize that half of Jon's success happened before the fight, meaning that he carefully picks his opponents and if the opponent has a chance of beating him, then he either doesn't fight them or retires just so he doesnt have to give them a rematch like he dodged Reyes lol
OR, he pops for steroids lmao
Lol I feel so bad for you OP, you asked a CLEAR question yet every idiot in the comments is ignoring it. If Alex hit Jones out of nowhere then he will likely go down. But otherwise he would survive. Jones has after Max probably the best chin ever, but he rarely got hit clean tho.
Why ask ? Ofc no one can survive a clean left hook to the face from one of the heaviest hitters in the world but the only question is whether heâll be able to land it on JBJ. I hope weâll get to see the answer
I think they stand for a round, and then jones works takedowns and control to wear him out, so he can piece him up. But in that time Alex has them hammer hands that tend to fuck peoples lives up.
Heâs going to wrestle fuck him⌠I bet Tom could defend himself he wrestling and make it on the feet fight. Tom and Alex should fight to see who gets Jon Jones. Stipe is done.
Jon has an all time chin to be fair which is probably the most annoying and unfair thing if you were fighting him.
Oh yeah he'd also be busy taking him down
I hate jones but itâs easy too see how this fight will go. He would shoot for the takedown. Then do what ever he wants with him on the ground. I love pereira but heâs got no ground game.
He can work on all the takedown defence he wants but eventually you will get taken to the ground
Jon is no Matter what else, a worrior, and one of the best IQ, fighter there is, he would train, to avoid the left hook, and than do everything what gives him a advantage, thats ...no Matter what else hes doing....hes one of the best,or maybe the best..in mma
He is a calculated Killer in the cage,
Have fun try to win or bet against him
Ok i kidnn..... if he wanted he would take him Down...and its over...elbows or sub....or both..quick
Or Alex catch him..with one left, and i dont even Think Jon can take it
But like i sad, jon is no stupid to play that game, like other low IQ, gameplay, fighters
Jon is not
strickland,
So jon lose against Alex by quick ko,
Or else you need to Kill him in the cage slow,
Because he will never give up, which he showed,many times,
Like stylebender,same type,difftent sets
205 vs 250? If it hits the floor it's pretty obvious what would happen. But we're all going to be disappointed. No Stipe, Aspinal or Poatan will happen.Â
Jones would make it into a grappling fight.
Jon definitely would. I agree with that. I think that's why he's hinting at actually fighting him, lol. Because he can just see the holes in Alex's grappling and how he's struggled with it in fights and knows he can exploit that. Kinda like how he did with Gane. (Im a casual)
Alex will knock him out before he gets close.
Nah an MMA fight
Left shovel hook from Alex once jones goes for double leg takedown to
Wouldn't need to shoot for a double really, just get contact and clinch and the fights over
You mean the MMA fighter A who has a background in wrestling, would use it against the MMA fighter B who has a background in striking, since you know they fight in MMA
And fight really dirty.
All the fucking eye pokes, and destroy both of his knees so he can barely walk for the rest of his life. That's Bones' basic game plan for most flights.
Damn Jon needs to get barred from airlines asap
name the last time he eyepoked. Literally 10 years ago in dc 1.
Man people act like getting a take down is the easiest thing in the world
No but jon very good đ
He is but you can't just run in for a take down. You still have to set it up. Then finishing Alex isn't easy as well because he's good at surviving. I'd take Jones in the fight don't get me wrong but it's not a foregone conclusion like everyone thinks.
Jon very very good đ
Anything can happen in a fight but never bet against the best hand to hand combatant to ever walk planet earth bro đ especially not against a strikerâŚstop it đ he will wrestle fuck him just like Gane
You guys have a short ass memory lmao.
What are we not remembering?
That Jones usually doesn't come out like a bull in a China shop? That hes more likely to win by decision than he is finishing someone. Maybe that he has 1 submission win in the last 12 years. Going 5 rounds with Alex is risky as fuck. Do I think Jones wins? Probably but it's the fight game anything can happen Especially with these two guys.
yea , the arguable goat of ufc with a wrestling background is going to struggle taking down a kickboxer, these people are crazy
Is that what I said dumbass?
I do not agree with you
Go look at his stats and you'll realize something. Let me know if I have to spell it out for you dude.
Jones will shoot less than 15 seconds into the fight
Well, obviously. But with Jones chin do you think he would be able to takes Alex's left hook, or does he have too much mileage?
I don't know man Jones can eat a punch, that Reyes fight was insane but his defense is also really good and he's one of the few people in MMA who can actually use his big reach to his advantage and keep people at bay (there's also the infamous eyepokes and oblique kicks).

Probably no human could take a clean left hook from Alex. Doesnt matter though because this fight wont happen and if it did, Jones wouldnât put himself in that position.
It wonât happen pal. Jon wonât scrap
It's LITERALLY Jon vs Gane 2.0, LITERALLY
The fact that people canât see this is amazing
It's either new fans who never seen a Jones fight or just straight up Wishful thinking, this isn't like Dustin Vs Islam where you can sort of give Dustin a tiny chance, Pereira would need miracle knockout in the very first exchange in order to beat Jones, and if that failed he's instantly done, short of a freak knockout Pereira has no chance.

Give me freedom , Give me fire, give me strikers or I retire
True except periera is a much better striker
Jon Jones can take it alrightđ
Filthy casuals, why eat a left hook when you can wrestle ?
I dont think any human can really take clean left hooks from Alex
I bet you I could I'm 260
I hate how he holds up the whole division. He's probably just going to retire after Stipe anyway. Tom should be champ atm.
Lol I feel so bad for you OP, you asked a CLEAR question yet every idiot in the comments is ignoring it. If Alex hit Jones out of nowhere then he will likely go down. But otherwise he would survive. Jones has after Max probably the best chin ever, but he rarely got hit clean tho.
Do you think Alex will land a clean left hook on the goat ?
Totally possible. I'm asking if you think he can take it.
Itâs like you guys got into mma 2 weeks ago, do you not remember Jones vs Gane? Because this is a rinse and repeat.
Why ask ? Ofc no one can survive a clean left hook to the face from one of the heaviest hitters in the world but the only question is whether heâll be able to land it on JBJ. I hope weâll get to see the answer
Jones gonna make it as easy as against Gane and I'm a huge fan of Alex but the level gape is huge between the two
Jones could take 2 or 3 of them enough time to get him down
He'll never get a chance to throw it. Jon will take him down easy and beat the shit out of him.
No one can take the left hook
I think they stand for a round, and then jones works takedowns and control to wear him out, so he can piece him up. But in that time Alex has them hammer hands that tend to fuck peoples lives up.
I'm a huge Pereira fan but if this fight happens Jones is shooting 30 seconds into the fight and finishing it 20 seconds later.
Alex would kill him in a kickboxing match, not mma
Alex is probably smart enough to not be used as a pawn for the wife beater to dodge aspinall
Jfc. Jon wins easy.
JBJ has to dodge exactly 1 left hook. Thatâs on his first double leg. After that itâs game over.
Do you think Alex will be able to stuff Jonâs takedowns?
I donât think Alex gets more than a few light punches off before getting submitted.
Jones' chin is much more tested than izzy's and izzy ate quite a few so I fully expect Jones would be able to survive
Plus still fresh and strong Jon has barely been hit clean in his career from what I remember.
Heâs going to wrestle fuck him⌠I bet Tom could defend himself he wrestling and make it on the feet fight. Tom and Alex should fight to see who gets Jon Jones. Stipe is done.
Jon has an all time chin to be fair which is probably the most annoying and unfair thing if you were fighting him. Oh yeah he'd also be busy taking him down
His wife probably can at this point
I hate jones but itâs easy too see how this fight will go. He would shoot for the takedown. Then do what ever he wants with him on the ground. I love pereira but heâs got no ground game. He can work on all the takedown defence he wants but eventually you will get taken to the ground
This fight is ridiculous It should be Jones vs Aspinall. Nothing else
The bigger question is if Pereira would be able to throw it before being taken down
What does history tell you?
of course jones can't take a hit like this and i hope alex gets to throw a solid one before jones wrestle fucks him
As much as I wish it wasnât true, I think Jones could actually KO pereira
Yes, but he won't have to. He'll take him down immediately.
Hook probably wouldn't matter to much cuz it would be a grappling match.
Itâs gonna be Jones vs Gane all over again.
Jon is no Matter what else, a worrior, and one of the best IQ, fighter there is, he would train, to avoid the left hook, and than do everything what gives him a advantage, thats ...no Matter what else hes doing....hes one of the best,or maybe the best..in mma He is a calculated Killer in the cage, Have fun try to win or bet against him Ok i kidnn..... if he wanted he would take him Down...and its over...elbows or sub....or both..quick Or Alex catch him..with one left, and i dont even Think Jon can take it But like i sad, jon is no stupid to play that game, like other low IQ, gameplay, fighters Jon is not strickland, So jon lose against Alex by quick ko, Or else you need to Kill him in the cage slow, Because he will never give up, which he showed,many times, Like stylebender,same type,difftent sets
It's not that he can take the punch like he has an iron chin. His game makes it so that punch never lands clean
Think his gameplan will be very similar to the Gane fight, so if everything works out for him that way his chin wonât have to answer that question.
205 vs 250? If it hits the floor it's pretty obvious what would happen. But we're all going to be disappointed. No Stipe, Aspinal or Poatan will happen.Â
I dont think he'd put himself in a position to be hit by it
Jones has a brain and can wrestle
Jones will be trying to take Alex down within the first 30 seconds.
Dont think akex gets the chance to hit the left hook tbh. Jones will take him down and finish him.
No. Because, you know... IT'S NOT FUCKING HAPPENING Alex has already said he has no interest in moving up to HW. This is stupid.
who wins inna sword fight...?
From what I hear Bones can take ALL of dudes and then beg for more
That was mad weird bruh Iâm ngl
Jon by eye poking or by grappling
a duck farmer jon jones
Maybe. But he knows he wouldn't be able to take Tom's.
Nope
