Only because I didn't compete.The Albuquerque coke snorting championship
He said he didn't take his wrestling career seriously. Started watching mindset videos like Les Brown and Tony Robbins when he started MMA. He lived in his girlfriend parents basement and watched Bas Rutten instructional DVD's. Doesn't have Power like Alex. Doesn't have Exposivness like Rumble. Colby said he was a party animal and Donald Cerrone said he was destroying guys when he first showed up and would barley be at practice. Jones might be 1/3000. He might have genius IQ too.
Because Jon is a true disciple of the lord and savior Jesus Christ.
Because he's the GOAT
yep. genetically gifted athlete with a large wingspan and the mental fortitude to fight and to win.
most people don't want to acknowledge this: but genetics matter a lot more than training. the example i like to use is the 1 to 100 scale:
say man A has a 80 on the scale for natural athleticism, while man B has a 70 on the scale of natural athleticism. with hard and consistent training, man B could potentially get his athletic level up to 75. but would still never reach where man A is at (80) even if man A doesn't train a day in his life and just gets up off the couch and competes.
and then there is man C who is a 95 in natural athleticism. very few people are even coming close to said man even if they train hard and consistent since they were children.
when it comes to athletcism, some people are just born better. it all comes down to who your parents are and who your parents parents are and what your genetic lineage is
It's not even up for fucking debate. When I joined this forum, everyone was trying to shove GSP down our necks as Goat. But let's be real
Silva was better than GSP and Jones is best of all
Silva and GSP is definitely debatable, but Jon is the best
Natural abilities are nothing without dedication and perseverance, though. Perhaps all of the virtuouso pianists have long, slender fingers; it's certainly easier to play the piano with those than with stubby ones. But I guarantee you almost no one with long, slender fingers is a piano virtuoso. The ones that are got there through thousands of hours of practice.
And anyway, what would you expect? In a world where all the top athletes put in the same work doing rigorous training for hours and hours every day, who would you expect to rise to the top? The ones who do all that AND have a natural advantage beyond that, obviously.
Ngannou would beat Jon
What is athleticism? Is Jon an amazing athlete with better athleticism naturally than most? Or is his “athleticism” really just genetic physical features that are really superior for mma and he has an uncanny ability to use these physical traits better than most? I think it’s weird that people bring up athleticism so much. Is Tom Brady a phenomenal athlete? Those combine numbers blow away all the other qbs picked before him? There’s so much more to sports than raw athleticism. Whatever that even means these days. Jones is the greatest fighter in mma and yet nowhere near the greatest athlete.
Gsp and Silva are legends. Respect to themIt's not even up for fucking debate. When I joined this forum, everyone was trying to shove GSP down our necks as Goat. But let's be real

Tom Brady is 6'4 225 and throw a football 65+ yards.
