Why punch when he can poke? Well it is mma where eye pokes lead to a W.
Jones definitely should mind, if he could box he'd be invincible. Instead its been a big vulnerability and has lead to him taking a lot of damage.
I don't think he's rocked anyone with punches...not that I can remember anyways. Voted 4.
He’s only taking damage in one fight his whole career. And it wasn’t DC.
DC cracked him a lot as well. Obviously the Gus fight was by far the most damaging contest though.He’s only taking damage in one fight his whole career. And it wasn’t DC.
DC actually hit Jones a lot in the rematch
but to his credit, Jones has a great chin

I mean, he didn't get rocked or anything (not sure I've ever seen Jon rocked), but great chin or not your brain still gets rattled around when you get uppercut over and over and your head gets jerked around. DC doesn't carry the same kind of power at 205 that he does at HW, but Jon still took a lot of shots there. Not close to being stopped or anything but that's still damage.DC did crack him but it wasn’t really damage. He has a great chin and the only time I saw him take actual damage where you were wondering if he could go the distance was the Alexander flight.

Back to my original point, the reason DC could land on him like that is due to Jon's poor boxing. He has some dangerous instincts in respect to defense and not much power in his hands. Given how incredible Jon is everywhere else, its definitely the area he should be focussing on.
Machida flew head first into his fist.
Jones knocked down prime machida and
also so what if jones doesn't have the most punching power? it's fucking MMA
jones KO'ed cormier anyway and made him cry like a bitch
whereas Rumble, hardest puncher in the division, did nothing
Machida flew head first into his fist.
Everything Cormier said is true: he kicks, knees and elbows hard, but his punches are not hard. It is normal tho, as power punchers are guys with thicc trunks, like Earnie Shavers, not string beans like Juicin.
Rumble is a hard puncher but bad gas tank.....Maia has a great ground game but poor striking...the list can go on all day. He was not saying Jones was not a good fighter, but just pointing out his strengths and weaknesses that all fighters have.
