When not training, jones has admitted to weighing as much as 247lbs.FUTURE GOAT! lol
Jones is like 217lbs when in the cage. Probably gets to 225 or 230lbs when not training.
jones said chandler isnt good at MMA
he said his older brother arthur would already destroy most UFC heavyweights though
chandler didnt stick through wrestling in high school but arthur is a 2 time state champ and supposedly still outwrestles jon
McGregor's going to make more than that in one night. Build your name and the sky is the limit.
Size and athleticism does matter. I said the same thing about Semmy Schilt and people laughed. The guy is a striking killer in kickboxing and the arguable HW Goat kickboxer (him or Aerts is). And he is 7'0ft tall, 300lbs, and has 88 to 89 inch reach.
Problem is he could never make 265lb limit.
Jon has been training technique is whole life.
That matters more.
Yep. The ability to take a punch is one of the most underrated talents in MMA. And I'm not talking about an iron chin.
Brock and Ronda proved that you can be UFC champ even if you can't take a punchHe can be better athletically, yet could get whooped by cans if he just cant stomach taking a punch.
No all are born to fight, most are not. No matter the athletic gifts many just cant handle fighting.
The same Jones who was a community college wrestler and beat strikers and grapplers who had a decade of experience like Cormier.
That's right.
The guy Jon Jones that trained technique for years and uses an all around game to defeat specialists.

A lot of people for whatever reason do not want to admit that athleticism matters so much in combat sports. Jon Jones would not be where he is if he was not explosive, did not have his height, genetics and reach.
Yep, that's the one. He OD'ed the week prior to playing in the Super Bowl.Is this the guy who overdosed?
