Jones vs Gane (from the stands - size comparison)

[FrankDux]

Here's a different view of the fight. Jones looks massive from this angle. And still fast. Can't wait for JJ vs Stipe.

 

[SG123]

He was never fast

 

[Fact Checker]

I knew this was going to be a cakewalk for Jones.

Gane was biting on every feint, that’s what elite grappling opens up on the feet.

 

[chinarice]

That new breed though

 

[matrixremaster]

Jones looks bigger.

That's how much of a size bully he was at LHW.

 

[Clark Rogers]

Only thing about that angle is it doesn't include Gane's shock and awe expression after the tap lol

Otherwise good stuff

 

[JBJ was here]

Jones looks bigger.

Jones always had an easy cut to 205 and was pretty soft around the middle without cutting at 248. He was always a natural LHW and still is no more than a large LHW (25-30 pound cut from lean at most). Everyone who complained about Jones being too big at LHW also laughed at his chicken legs, not making the connection that his weight distribution was almost certainly a deliberate choice that worked pretty fucking well for him.

 

[spinup]

His cage control is really next level, he didn't give Gane an inch of space to use his striking.

Also questionnable gameplan by Gane. The southpaw distance kickboxing against a wrestler with longer reach? How would that even work?
An orthodox stance, boxing focused style would have been more effective.

Ah yes, that must have been why it took him three years to put on 30 pounds so he'd look like he'd even fit in a HW.

If LHW Jones had gone up against Gane, he'd have looked like a twig.

 

[Gamer2k4]

He was never fast

No, but he's methodical and relentless. He stays out of danger well, and he knows when to put on that burst when it's needed (like the takedown against Gane).

 

[jitzmonkey]

While I assumed that JBJ would win (and easily if he actually came to fight,) I thought that the size might give him a bit of trouble.

That was right up to the point that they squared off at the weigh ins.
In my mind it really became Jones' fight to F up and lose.

**The angle of the recording really emphasized how much JBJ big brothered Gane.
That was almost disrespectful.

There's no such thing since they're all agreeing to compete at a set weight beforehand.
Further, they're getting paid to do so.

 

[Ibm]

He looks bigger bu5 it's his long legs

Ah yes, that must have been why it took him three years to put on 30 pounds so he'd look like he'd even fit in a HW.

If LHW Jones had gone up against Gane, he'd have looked like a twig.

Just because he didn’t fight in 3 years doesn’t mean it took 3 years to put on 30 lbs.

Jon Jones, the guy that never missed weight, or has trouble making 205, is a weight bully? Are you dumb.

 

[AmonTobin]

Nice. Gane’s grappling looks even more pathetic from this sweet angle.

Ngannou dodged a bullet

Ngannou dodged a bullet

Is this real? Isn't Simple Simon an influencer turned boxer, or boxer/influencer or something?

Not exactly Wilder, Joshua, Fury level stuff.

Do you know what makes cutting weight easier to accomplish?

Steroids.

Jon Jones was a fucking gigantic LHW with a longer reach than 99% of HW's.

This bullshit about making weight does not change that fact.

 

[Yellowcrab]

with a longer reach than 99% of HW's.

This is one of the lamest argument ever... it's like saying Ngannou is a cheater due to his power.

His reach is what it is, you have to be an insane hater to reproach him that.

 

[Tweak896]

You could tell Gane looks a little thicker in lean muscle and size, but Jones not far off. With his size and speed he probably could've been a decent HW for a long time whether people like to admit it or not.
