The reason Jones went into the fight on all fours was because he kept having a nightmare every night leading up to the fight that he walked in and got knocked out, no matter what he did he couldn’t stop getting knocked out by Rampage, so he decided to go in on all fours to instantly break away from his dream.

Holding rampage back while only being able to push off on one leg before you regain balance with the other is legit crazy lol love that you brought this up
John strikes from anywhere... He punches, he kicks, he grapples, he taunts. On every aspect he gets the upper hand. It only shows that the mind is the greatest weapon. He completely outsmarted Rampage.
Nobody has ever been both as physically gifted and had the same level of fight IQ as Jon Jones. He slaughtered legends and made them look like little kids. Undefeated in the UFC with a resume of monsters 👹
Jon Jones aged 23-28 was literally unbeatable. Everyone who fought him came close to death.

Two of my all time favorites. Bones simply took Rampage apart. Those "little legs" chopped him to pieces, and that oblique kick is deadly. Bones’ speed was off the charts, especially when he slipped or missed, he right back on top.
those legs have notimg to do ,they go fast headkik like any bone ,its lil bit unusual but its hard to kick his legs when he kicks yo knees in ligaments just timed ...and santos was blew on knees he just times a precision strike on vital.moving joints to...pick apart. hard to pick apart picker

I recall watching Jon Jones fight before. I find it some of the most crowd pleasing moves. He throws out unpredictable moves, risky moves even, just to have a chance to win and that's what sets him apart. One of my favorite fighters. I mean, I see him with some eye poking but he got mad talent though.
Jon looked at least 10 pounds lighter than rampage. That’s gotta help for speed and cardio. Because of that, he was able to pour the pressure on him easier. Pretty slow and sloppy compared to today’s competition but good for his time.

*Jon Jones is a obviously a legend even after his scandals imo but Rampage deserves more credit than he gets these days. His blocks and evades, along with his timing in this part of his career are extremely underrated for a guy of his size and wide build. That wheel kick duck at **1:58** is textbook timing for recognition and counter into double leg*
I agree. This was John's time and all, but Rampage took a ton of good kicks some elbows and got out of a full mount! His experience and toughness at least made John work for it.
100% Rampage was evading, and ducking so many big time punches and kicks in this fight, it was very impressive, almost like he knew they were coming, thats how good he was
Bullshit!! All he did was go into emergency survival mode...without any strategy to Hit back...That is a recipe.for disaster even though you may escape the inevitable for a few rounds...Utter nonsense.. He got saved by the bell twice...if there were a few more seconds in those rounds he would have been screwed then itself
All this recency bias because Francis is now a champion but if Jon was doing this at 23.........he's been fighting his whole adult life and he is undefeated people don't get how unbelivable that is
Well, "this guy" was quinton rampage jackson. He is easily the most intimidating fighter ever. The man had tremendously heavy hands and some great wrestling.. you should rewatch how many slams he'd hit on his opponents such as the famous powerbomb to ko arona. Rampage was really intimidating and a very tough opponent to face
Imagine how tough you’ve gotta be to sustain the hurt that jones put on rampage. It’s truly a sport for warriors. In the past these guys would be carrying swords and shields.
most creative fighter ive ever seen. in combination with his reach, size and perfect technique he's simply impossible to predict and defend, truly the goat
Izzy to light and not strong enough. I hate when people still use he fail drug test as an excuse about Jones his very skillful fighter and his style his hard to prepare for the man can fight, but I hope he stop taking whatever his taking that makes him failed the drug test
He got everything in the arsenal.. striking.. wrestling.. jijutsu.. leg kicks.. elbows.. spinning elbow.. spinning kicks.. he is a complete MMA fighter a true champion.
The one thing that distinguish Jones is that he has so much in his inventory.. he uses his whole body, arms, legs, knees, elbows.. could wrestle and kickbox amazingly and with confidence.. that's what separates him and makes him special!
Well, we'll see how bad he does in heavyweight. His fail zercher squat exhibition was any indicator he's gonna be sittin there with rousy and mcgregor going, well that ended fast.
I was at this fight in Colorado! Looking back you can tell Jon Jon figured this was going to be an easy fight in the early rounds because of how Rampage was responding to his strikes. His body language when he blocks and responds, he looks like he's already defeated. So Jon tee'd off on him. Even has hands down. Looks away and strikes...this is Jon entering his prime. Glad i got to see it live.
no idk. he said himself he had nightmares. one of the only fights he was scared going in. i can kinda see he’s beating him down every limb and gaining confidence over time. but he was worried abt a early tko going in
Jones has so many weapons in his arsenal-hands, elbows, feet, knees, head, shoulders, forward, reverse, direct, spins, etc-and he's excellent with them all. And he's excellent at striking and grappling. Plus three other factors-agression, speed, and intensity of attack. He's got it all.
Because rampage never though leg kicks rampage was getting beat joe said he should throw more leg kicks to slow down jon jones because he have thin legs this comment tells me your a casual
Give both these men credit. Jones stayed consistent, though Rampage made it convenient, and Rampage held firm, kept his composure, and endured a systematic breakdown from Jones for 4 rounds before defeat.
He never fought Fedor Emelienko, back when Jones was in his prime. Fedor could have fasted for 2 weeks and made light- heavyweight, and smashed Jones. Dana was scared of Fedor killing his Golden Goose
How do you fight a taller guy that kicks the whole fight. I seen it was over early. I thought Jackson was going to keep the leg kicks, but then i realized he knee wasn't strong enough to keep up with Jones' kicks.
Jon jones is the greatest fighter of all time and I'm not even a fan of the dude. I hope he gets murked at heavyweight, but it's highly unlikely. Guy can punch, strike, wrestle. He was born for this. No questions....
The match makers control who wins and who loses for the most part. Obviously you can't control unpredicted wins but you can control it 80%. They knew damn well this was a bad match up for rampage, Jones is WAY more tachnical and rampage is straight beast mode brawler. They knew.
Yeah I was suprised from Rampages head movement and boxing. Jackson’s hooks were quick and tight. Very good left hook for a non boxer barely any telegraph. Jones was truly unbeatable on this night. Rampage might’ve knocked out any other LHW that night.
Rampage dodged and blocked so many if Jones' strikes. He actually looked really good. If Jones' didn't have the gargantuan reach advantage, I don't think he'd be as successful.
Jon Jones was toying with Rampage. As the rounds and fight drag on you can see the despair slowly creeping into Jackson's eyes. He knew he had no answer for Jones.
yea and rampage tried all best focus on what jon gonna do now..jon already did . and its just nervousnes of rampage i think he was hopin not get knoked out while jon mostly saw all and freely play ...but jackson if he were more like i dont care he would hurt jon but its hard asf with fighters of that caliber
@@jeremyhelias5450 He controled every round with ease, choked him out then sat in the middle of the cage without breathing very hard.. Def toyed with the guy..
Now I understand why Rampage is so opposed to Jon Jones. He was bullied and rag-dolled. I hated Jon for his disrespect of Rampage, from round one to the finish. He beat him up and then choked him out. He humiliated him without any semblance of resistance from Rampage and years after he finds the courage to come out of self-imposed exile to try to diminish Jon's performances. That was the very worst beat down he has ever received in his entire career .
he went crawlin in there rmapage was wtf is this.. and when jones feels unique an relAxed then iq makes rsndom decisions fast in jon mind and rampage alertness is not enough .just playin with him.in times. there . thats not just reach and atributes thats fast iq and act random teckniq....what else to say beatdown
There’s weight classes for a reason and Dana confirmed why those goat super fights never happened. “GSP didn’t wanna go up to fight Silva and Silva didn’t wanna go up to fight jones.”
@Harvey Smith i can see your point but its about sportsmanship. Anyway Bones proved multiple times that he is not about sports. Just a psychopath wanting to injure/destroy.
@@anescanovic3479 well you could say that but isn't it the point to injure your opponent that's what all fighters do. So are you saying they are all psychotic
There have been a few and a few more up and coming that may end up better, he have a better track record if he would try to keep the pokes down, I understand he soft and scared and all, but he already one of the greatest fighters ever and he resorts to that a pretty good lil bit
No one can ever convince me that Rampage didn’t quietly allow that choke simply to get out of there without any more damage. No shame to Rampage. That version of Jones was entirely unbeatable.
The reason Jones went into the fight on all fours was because he kept having a nightmare every night leading up to the fight that he walked in and got knocked out, no matter what he did he couldn’t stop getting knocked out by Rampage, so he decided to go in on all fours to instantly break away from his dream.

Rampage is a total beast, and Jones completely neutralized him. Perhaps the greatest of all time in MMA.
Discounting steroids cases, he is by far the greatest. I mean, I bet any of his opponents are also using some. This man is as dominant as Khabib, as well-rounded as DJ, and as consistent as Pierre.

I forgot this fight ever took place. Awesome to see the old guard vs the (at the time) new.
This is a horrible edit of the highlights
What do you mean by guard or do you mean gen
Didn’t expect to find mike from art of guitar here
What year was this?
OLD??? Rampage was not that old He still one of the best in the world during that time
I love watching this fight..and learn every time..Those leg kicks Jones was giving took a toll on Rampage big time! Great fight from both of them!
*Jon Jones is a obviously a legend even after his scandals imo but Rampage deserves more credit than he gets these days. His blocks and evades, along with his timing in this part of his career are extremely underrated for a guy of his size and wide build. That wheel kick duck at **1:58** is textbook timing for recognition and counter into double leg*
I agree. This was John's time and all, but Rampage took a ton of good kicks some elbows and got out of a full mount! His experience and toughness at least made John work for it.
He did great..I thought he had a chance to get a knock down had he timed his punches rite.
3:35 look how he dodges those 2 jabs too
100% Rampage was evading, and ducking so many big time punches and kicks in this fight, it was very impressive, almost like he knew they were coming, thats how good he was
Bullshit!! All he did was go into emergency survival mode...without any strategy to Hit back...That is a recipe.for disaster even though you may escape the inevitable for a few rounds...Utter nonsense..
He got saved by the bell twice...if there were a few more seconds in those rounds he would have been screwed then itself
The most complete combat sport athlete
if he had nightmares thinking this guy was going to ko him.. just the idea of fighting francis will keep him awake
He was 23 and inexperienced back then. Now he has faced and beaten better, tougher, faster and stronger guys than rampage.
i hope when he fights francis the featherman shows up again!
All this recency bias because Francis is now a champion but if Jon was doing this at 23.........he's been fighting his whole adult life and he is undefeated people don't get how unbelivable that is
@@joeschmoe3665 exactly. To become the best in the world at 23 years old and you begun training at 19/20 years old is very very unbelievable
Well, "this guy" was quinton rampage jackson. He is easily the most intimidating fighter ever. The man had tremendously heavy hands and some great wrestling.. you should rewatch how many slams he'd hit on his opponents such as the famous powerbomb to ko arona. Rampage was really intimidating and a very tough opponent to face
Imagine how tough you’ve gotta be to sustain the hurt that jones put on rampage. It’s truly a sport for warriors. In the past these guys would be carrying swords and shields.
most creative fighter ive ever seen. in combination with his reach, size and perfect technique he's simply impossible to predict and defend, truly the goat
Jones looks like a Jedi, Jackson looks like a Stormtrooper.
Why is this comment not getting more respect? im dying over here🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well, we'll see how bad he does in heavyweight. His fail zercher squat exhibition was any indicator he's gonna be sittin there with rousy and mcgregor going, well that ended fast.
we’re just gonna forget he tested positive for TWO different steroids? okay buddy
I was at this fight in Colorado! Looking back you can tell Jon Jon figured this was going to be an easy fight in the early rounds because of how Rampage was responding to his strikes. His body language when he blocks and responds, he looks like he's already defeated. So Jon tee'd off on him. Even has hands down. Looks away and strikes...this is Jon entering his prime. Glad i got to see it live.
Can't wait to see him at heavyweight, Francis (if it happens) will give him the biggest mental test to date..
@@kylehunkin5478 Who you got if it ever goes down? Francis or Bones?
no idk. he said himself he had nightmares. one of the only fights he was scared going in. i can kinda see he’s beating him down every limb and gaining confidence over time. but he was worried abt a early tko going in
That was a beautiful performance what an art. My compliments to John Jones.
Jon Jones is a world class fighter and the GOAT.
Facts
Jones has so many weapons in his arsenal-hands, elbows, feet, knees, head, shoulders, forward, reverse, direct, spins, etc-and he's excellent with them all. And he's excellent at striking and grappling. Plus three other factors-agression, speed, and intensity of attack. He's got it all.
Jon enjoys making people surfer, He takes his time landing all his blows methodically
Everybody praising Jones but Jackson's wrestling defense and head movement are so underrated he was definitely amazing.
“That was a huge diss” bro that part was so comical 😂😂

He is the goat. You can´t deny it. So many absolutely vicious, deadly techniques in all aspects of MMA.

Yeah dude ive done a line with jonny jones for real he cool as fk
Weird flex
1:59 shows how much control and core strength Jones has, Rampage had a perfect opening for a slam and couldn’t take him down.
yea and he knows angles too just to make it hard but visibly just manageable and its game of inches he did good. rampage always dangerous.tho

@@GeoJad Sad but true
Jones was ahead of his time with the variety of strikes and combined with the size/reach he has it was crazy!
Prime and clean Jones was amazing. Glad to have watched him live.
Give both these men credit. Jones stayed consistent, though Rampage made it convenient, and Rampage held firm, kept his composure, and endured a systematic breakdown from Jones for 4 rounds before defeat.
This version of Jon is legendary
The “oblique” kick is the nastiest strike I’ve seen
Prime Jones is just simply unbeatable.
Cocain: I guess they forget about me
He still is
He never fought Fedor Emelienko, back when Jones was in his prime. Fedor could have fasted for 2 weeks and made light- heavyweight, and smashed Jones. Dana was scared of Fedor killing his Golden Goose
He hasn’t lost yet... so isn’t he still in his prime..?
@@garygwinn4256 like when he fought Dan Henderson? Jj would destroy him.
Jones kept Rampage at bay for most of the fight. He's just too skilled.
How do you fight a taller guy that kicks the whole fight. I seen it was over early. I thought Jackson was going to keep the leg kicks, but then i realized he knee wasn't strong enough to keep up with Jones' kicks.
Jon jones is the greatest fighter of all time and I'm not even a fan of the dude. I hope he gets murked at heavyweight, but it's highly unlikely. Guy can punch, strike, wrestle. He was born for this. No questions....
his boxing is pretty trash tbh,he does well against smaller men,thats the reason he got fucked up by gus and reyes. stipe would fuck him up tbh

lets all lean back and see
The match makers control who wins and who loses for the most part. Obviously you can't control unpredicted wins but you can control it 80%. They knew damn well this was a bad match up for rampage, Jones is WAY more tachnical and rampage is straight beast mode brawler. They knew.
He displayed every move on UFC PS4 in 2 rounds! Incredible fighter! Love Rampage to! Great fight
This was the best rampage ever looked from a technical standpoint imo. When I saw what jones did to him i knew jones was truly special. Frightening.
Yeah I was suprised from Rampages head movement and boxing. Jackson’s hooks were quick and tight. Very good left hook for a non boxer barely any telegraph. Jones was truly unbeatable on this night. Rampage might’ve knocked out any other LHW that night.
Rampage dodged and blocked so many if Jones' strikes. He actually looked really good. If Jones' didn't have the gargantuan reach advantage, I don't think he'd be as successful.
Jones moves like a "whip."
He won with more than just reach.
not to mention the roids
They were both on PEDs, Jon still destroyed him.💀
Joe loves Jon….after the fight the way they smile with eachother …love it
No one does it like bones. I really enjoy the way he fights, moves and always innovates.
henjust adapts ,solves phisical problems or avoids in fast iq decision-act .and keeps calm outside its kiler in.octagon
Jon Jones was toying with Rampage. As the rounds and fight drag on you can see the despair slowly creeping into Jackson's eyes. He knew he had no answer for Jones.
yea and rampage tried all best focus on what jon gonna do now..jon already did . and its just nervousnes of rampage i think he was hopin not get knoked out while jon mostly saw all and freely play ...but jackson if he were more like i dont care he would hurt jon but its hard asf with fighters of that caliber
toying??? come on bro, 4 rounds, it's not toying !

The notorious Connor iceman lidell. Same formula.

Page wasn’t that old for this Jones is just a bad matchup for him.
Rampage wasn't washed up at this point.
That rampage was outclassed by Forest Griffin, a much lesser fighter than Jones.
Impressive how easily Jones was able to move Rampage around. The toss at the end of round three was crazy
Manhandling a top dawg
Now I understand why Rampage is so opposed to Jon Jones. He was bullied and rag-dolled. I hated Jon for his disrespect of Rampage, from round one to the finish. He beat him up and then choked him out. He humiliated him without any semblance of resistance from Rampage and years after he finds the courage to come out of self-imposed exile to try to diminish Jon's performances. That was the very worst beat down he has ever received in his entire career .
F*'k jon Jones and his wires unorthodox style fighting all the greats when they are washed up they would have kicked his ass in their prime
Not to mention Rampage said his knee is still messed up to this day from those front kicks to the knee
@@richardcrum2003 u wish
he went crawlin in there rmapage was wtf is this.. and when jones feels unique an relAxed then iq makes rsndom decisions fast in jon mind and rampage alertness is not enough .just playin with him.in times. there . thats not just reach and atributes thats fast iq and act random teckniq....what else to say beatdown
SILVA in his prime vs. this J.Jones would be one of the best fights in history!
Jon would beat him rather easily. All due respect to Andersen.
There’s weight classes for a reason and Dana confirmed why those goat super fights never happened. “GSP didn’t wanna go up to fight Silva and Silva didn’t wanna go up to fight jones.”
