Jon Jones had an easy path in his MMA career.

[Mystic Mac Miller]

Fought a lot of washed up LHWs and came in at a division without much of a dominant champ. Got handed a few decisions whenever he fought someone the same size as him, some which were debatable (Reyes and Gus 1).

Even at HW, fought a soft Frenchie.

4/10

 

[Fugitive Pete]

Agreed. When Jon finally loses it'll prove he was a D tier fighter this whole time.

Horrible take. And I'm not a fan of Jones, and think he tends to get overrated on the GOAT list.

 

[BrockLesnarsTurtleBack]

Agreed. When Jon finally loses it'll prove he was a D tier fighter this whole time.

If he doesn't it proves he was just ducking good competition for his whole career

I agree, Jon Jones only beat 4 champions in 2011, what a bum.
His best win was against DC, who is another tomato can

And only defended his title 11 times.

So easy, anyone can do what he does

Whenever somebody makes a crappy troll thread like this one

I simply ask: Who should Jon Jones have fought at the time instead? *Crickets*

2009-2010 he could’ve fought Wanderlei, Lil Nog, Phil Davis, Forrest Griffin

Jones was a nobody in 2009 / 2010 - Why would Wanderlei and Forrest have fought him?
He didn't become a bigger name until 2011 by beating Bader - and even then the TS against Shogun was like

Meanwhile Khabib beat Al Iaquinta for the title and is the greatest ever.

[Reign009]

TS actually has a point, but if you really wanted to, you could find reasons to discredit anyone.

Regardless, Jon is one of the greatest to ever do it.

Not agreeing with ts but prime LHW Rumble comes to mind

He could have gone up to heavyweight when he was in his prime
