@@austinreed347 I agree with that aspect, but Reyes missed a lot of strikes and didn't do anything significant like a takedown like Gus managed Look at Jones face post fight against Gus and Reyes. Its quite evident Gus gave him a good game. Just my take anyway
@@austinreed347 but even when Gus was hurt from the elbow Jones attempted takedown was shut down. It wasn’t until the 5th and final round where Jones landed his first takedown after 12 attempts. And Gus got right back up. Gus put up a better fight and I think definitely won. He was winning the 4th too that elbow just caught him
Jones head movement was great managed to slip most of the punches thrown then jones picked Reyes apart in the championship rounds was getting outclassed towards the end of the fight gassed out trying desperately to knock jones out
I wasn’t surprised when I found out Thiago Santos fought in the army for his country. Fighting on to bummed knees and still landing shots, is a war mentality.

amazing to see how many kicks santos threw after the injury especially now that we know what was the injury he tore the ACL, MCL, PCL, and meniscus in his left knee.
He had the eye of the tiger. He was in the zone and had adrenaline pumping so he kept pushing. If he can fully recover I can see him doing well against Jon but Jon has him figured out more now
If they were serious tears he would have fallen everytime he threw a kick those are crippling injuries and I don’t believe it’s possible for even adrenaline to push you through that. I’ve seen less serious injuries do worse.
Agreed, just watched it again. The fight I watched also had some commentary by Jones after the match where he discusses how Lyoto was catching Jones' kicks and immediately throwing a left jab and kept on doing this the first couple rounds rendering Jones leg kicks useless. Jones said when he went back to his corner, they told him to either stop throwing the kick or adjust and throw a fake in there. When Jones finally dropped Lyoto it was after Jones faked that leg kick and threw a left hook, folding Lyoto and giving him the W. It's beautiful when you take this context and rewatch the fight.
Actually machida had him, if it wasn't for superior coaching that could perfectly read machida's game within the rounds, machida would have taken it They solved the puzzle for jon jones
@@Dylan.0010 Reyes won that fight. He shoulda been DQ'ed for Anthony Smith. And DC 1 and Gust 1 were both either ties or losses for Jones, but the judges always favor the champ unless you're DJ
He backs it up with great striking defence as well. He rolls really well with punches and kicks. Its explains why he's been able to preserve his chin for so long, he rarely gets hit cleanly. A chin can only last so long, and recovery is useless if you can't take a shot any longer. We all know what happened to Chuck Liddell after Rashad KO'd him.
@@lordeel4737 Chuck really loved fighting too much, even if it was against his own best interests. In hindsight the happy ending for Chuck Liddell would've been him riding off into the sunset after his epic war with Wanderlei Silva, it was a great victory to retire on.
The thing about Jones is he isn’t a hard fighter when it comes to a puzzle he’s more so a fighter who is great everywhere. What makes that hard to beat compared to other very similar fighters is because of his natural reach and speed as well as his fight iq
Two of the people above me just hate because they wanna hate. Facts don’t care about your feelings. Jones is one of the GOATs in MMA. The only argument against him is PEDs, which everyone uses by the way.
As much as I m Jones fan , I know Reyes won that fight . That doesn't stop me from being Jones fan . Jones has been on top for so long that everyone try to decode him , seems like he's being decoded slowly in lhw I know and believe that Jones going to rule hw
Yupz exactly what loser says. You can't do nothing about that. That's a advantage of champion. You can't win easily by decision without significant strike or didn't much damage to champion. You must make his face really messed up and the whole world know he's fucked up. You need to knocked out the champion if you want to secure the win. Usually Champion take that W if by split decision and almost same with scored.
I love the format of the video. It’s like Jones is your video game character and all these opponents are increasingly difficult bosses you have to beat.
A lot of this was Jon being lazy w his defense. In most of his fights his reach was so much longer than his opponent’s that he could just stiff arm to keep distance. Jon is great but he’s made this mistake so many times it’s unbelievable how he was never beat because of it
Personally think Vitor gave him the single moment where he almost lost with the arm bar. Thiago Santos is the biggest 'what if', given how well he did in the first round and destroyed his own knee in the second. Personally, I thought Jones just edged Reyes 3-2, but I have to blame Reyes, giving up those championship rounds because he "felt" he won the first 3 was suicide, and ultimately did what every fighter is told not to do and thats "do not leave the fight in the judges hands".
I honestly don't think Jones did enough to get a clear win from the Reyes fight, it was super close and competitive. It was a great fight if it weren't for the controversial Decision, and no way did Jones win that by Unanimous Decision, even a Split Decision would be debatable at best. At the same time I feel the same thing with Reyes and the fight should have been called a Draw. I think Reyes was gassed from all the moving around and throwing bombs in the earlier rounds, hence why he wasn't so effective with his striking in the Championship rounds. Jones' constant pressure paid off for him, but I do agree to an extent that Reyes thought he had it in the bag in the earlier rounds and got high off his own success. This same mindset hurt him in his performance against Jan Blachowicz for the belt.
@@madgavin7568 Yeah I agree with you. I think a lot of people are overlooking the fact that this fight was held in Texas, and Texas uses the old scoring criteria opposed to the New Unified Rules. So, Jones did against score a lot of points in the eyes of the judges for his 'Octagon Control', as you said the constant pressure. Really, I would say Reyes technically would have won under the Unified Rules, but not the old scoring criteria. But yeah, a split decision would have made more sense instead of UD. I dont even think a draw would have been a bad call either.
@@lunatik383 Usually, but then you get cases like Henry Cejudo vs Demetrious Johnson II and Robbie Lawler vs Johnny Hendricks II. Controversial split decisions that go against the Champion.
Jones literally outstruck him in almost all the rounds AND landed the significant blows. Make that same argument, but for Reyes and then you have a point.
Cormier gambled by playing high risk gameplan against Jones. He was trying to be more aggressive but Jones know he had the mental advantage of Cormier. He knows how emotional he can get
The Thiago fight was arguably the most frustrating. Out of nowhere his knees just ripped. Up to that point he was outclassing Jones. Not to make excuses but sometimes Jones gets blessed with some very fortunate situations.
If Jon felt not comfortable at that time, he should grapple Thiago. And we see in which level Thiagos grappling in previous fight. So, broken leg of Thiago is the cause of very close fight, I think
@@jadonmuller1576 exactly. No on has ever seriously messed up Jon. Closest was Gus and Santos. Reyes didn't hurt him at all. Go look at pics of Reyes and Jon after the fight and tell me that you still think Reyes won. True fans know tho. I've been watching UFC since 2005. Most people who hate on Jon are casuals or just don't like his actions outside of the octagon. No denying that he's the best inside the octagon tho
@@ArkansasGamer While I agree that Reyes lost, "looking at someone" after a fight means nothing. Damage isn't scored, strikes are. If you've been "watching UFC since 2005", you should know that. Reyes actually landed more significant strikes than Gus if you want to make that argument. Regardless, people forget Octagon control is a factor in the scoring process and Jon almost ALWAYS has control. People move in for combos but relent and give him control back. I imagine it's cause they want the cage to help with Jon's takedowns, otherwise I have no idea.
The craziest thing to me about the vitor attempt was that jones was so mad after getting out that he made the effort to want to finish vitor with an arm submission
The one common thing those fights had was that he finished strong. And if you see other fights, finishing strong plays very well with the judges. To be honest I’m ok with the decisions. Although most likely wrongly, I believe that to get the belt from someone, especially someone like jones that has been defending for a long time, you should beat him clearly.
@@re2pect129 reyes won 1st 2 round 3 was questionable and jones won 4 and 5 and reyes was trying to survive. If the fight would’ve continued he would’ve got tko’ed
Man, Thiago did better than I can remember, what a savage... I'm so happy that Jan and Glover touched that belt but I wish Jones was still around to see him fight Prochazka, Rakiç and Ankalaev... But if he ever comes back there are some killers at heavyweight: Gane, N'gannou, Aspinall, Volkov, Blaydes, the always dangerous Derrick Lewis.
Gustaffson was so high level in the first Jones fight. He seemed to fall off EXPONENTIALLY immediately after that fight. He just got worse and worse and more and more out of shape.
When you give something your all, it's hard to do it again at the same level or better if you've already peaked. That's why Jones is still the best of all time - he has STILL yet to give ANYTHING his all. Not his training, not in a fight, not with his personal life - nothing.
@@ryanjames9599 you do realize theres a multitude of external reasons as to why that may have been their best fights? And you dont have to make a reason up in your head
Other's fighters starting : Aggressive Jon Jones starting : Let's learn his move first chill 2nd round enemy : Aggressive 4th round : Jon Jones is the winner
@@markrudyi He had so many injuries in his legs after that fight, maybe even both ACL’s and MCL’s. Had to learn to walk again and was out a good year, so def no immediate rematch, but Thiago hasn’t recovered the same since sadly, that was his chance
He didn't. His fight with Gus, Jon was so badly injured compared to Gus that if the fight went on for another minute, he'd have his eyes sealed shut and lost. The Reyes fight was closer to an acceptable "win," but I think Reyes outperformed him entirely. Reyes blocked most of his power strikes, whereas Jon took Reyes' power strikes with his face. To call the fight for Jon because of some half-assed/exhausted/pansy takedowns in the final round, is favoritism at it's finest. Not to mention those takedowns had no impact on Reyes. He didn't get slammed to the mat, he was slowly pulled down on the wall like an anchor. It didn't damage Reyes at all and it didn't really put Jon in any favorable position to strike either. It was a shit win and you can see it on Jon's face too. It looks like he's shocked he won. Reyes was def shocked he lost. So was I, and many other spectators were as well. Those judges need to go get their eyes checked.
@@Kaizsu_ Good watch, and thanks. If anyone is doubting the judges' favoritism, blindness, or sheer stupidity; watch this video, it'll shine some light on shit for you.
What sets Jones apart as "the g.o.a.t." is his genius at making adjustments late in epic fights. His durable chin has bought him "time" for such, being "rocked" by Ngannou is a whole nutther scenerio.
Rewatched Jones v Gustaffson recently and it really seems like Gus took that fight, that being said I'm not a pro on the rules or anything, just watching it though it seems like Gus should have gotten the decision. Jones is just a beast though gah damn, dudes got an iron chin too, been hit with some huge shots. Imagine if he was as good a person outside the ring as he is in the ring... oh well.
@@SORIANSIST perfect comparison! Absolutely brilliant! Lets compare a guy that manage to convince people to kill for him, to a guy that made some dumb ass human mistakes in life. Yall are to perfect 😂
Gustaffson vs jones 1 is severly underrated & overlooked. He was the closest to beat jon Jones . & I thought decision could go in his favour as well. Go think it was u Dec & not s Dec still sucks.
@Adam Hayton I don´t care about rounds and points, man. I am not saying they won the fights, all I am saying is that they beat his ass. It´s all about the damage. Whittaker won more rounds than Romero in the second fight but Romero almost killed him in the last rounds.
If Gustafson had been given the win, his reign would have been short lived. I believe if you wanna be the new champ, you’ve gotta completely dominate the long-standing champ and leave no debate as to whether or not you have won.
John became more terrifying the longer the fight went on. He was dangerous every second of his fights, and could end it out of nowhere in the late rounds.
not in the reyes fight. how are u gonna get beat into submission to turn your back and run after getting combod up helplessly and kicked in the face for 4 rounds just to finally get 2 face hits in the 4th round that still werent even close to what the other guy did to you mentally and physically. then in the 5th when reyes is gassed he didnt even have enough to finish him and just lands a few hits but still gets hit and cant defend against a gassed man lol but he raises his hands up in the end
At the beginning of his reign perhaps. He's finished 1 fight since 2013 (and no I'm not counting the DC finish since that was ruled a no contest retroactively). Looking at his record, he's finished 2 fights in the 4th round and 0 fights in the 5th round.
Well Jones never fought DC clean, and ever since he got caught cheating the latest time he's looked very mediocre compared to his pre-USADA turinabol days. I mean, now that he's clean he basically lost to Santos and Reyes, just scraped a 'win' because he's the champ so he gets favorable scoring. I think prime DC vs clean JJ would probably be a win for DC but who knows... I definitely think Gus would've beaten him the first time if he wasn't juicing.
what about when undisputed undefeated chael sonnen nearly snapped his toe off, and graciously allowed the fight to be finished so jon could receive treatment?
I love Jon Jones and I think him and GSP are by far the greatest of all time, but Jones lost that fight against Reyes. The judges seriously fucked that one up.
Reyes was literally missing majority of his punches... did you not watch the fight? Did u watch these clips? He was just throwing punches at a high volume
Looks flashy at 18 minutes throwing all those strikes. But look at Jones defense and head movement.. beautiful really Don't think anyone gives him credit there
Amazing how machida hit him a couple of times and that was the biggest trouble he faced, shows how good he was that a couple of punches was considered a challenge
I'd love to see a showcase of the Blessed Express in a similar vein to the Poirier retrospective. I thought that video was very thoughtful and well-researched, and I'd love that kind of look at Max Holloway's best performances.
Jon Jones is a very smart fighter. He keeps distance from his opponents using his long outstretched arms and punch/kick or elbow them at the right time. Another point is: If these fighter take Jones down and use elbows as he likes to do, Jon Jones would get in a huge problem! It's like using his tatics against him or simply don't give peace to Jones during the fight, try to disturb, upset him somehow (Not insulting, just don't give time to think). Gustafsson and Reyes did it pretty well. Also, sometimes, I see Jones running from them inside the cage to "gain some extra time" or points. (He's very smart). Also almost lost against: Daniel Cormier, Glover Teixeira, Thiago Marreta using these fight tatics. Otherwise, I'm sure he would have lost.
he was definitely losing against both. Gus ending up fading hard, and santos' injury was super unfortunate but lost him the fight. He definitely won both though. As for reyes, jon jones lost against reyes 100%.
Your are an absolute casual if you think he lost against Santos, not only did Jones outstrike him (he landed 16 more significant strikes, so by definition he outstruck him), he controlled the center of the octagon the whole fight, he litteraly walked Santos down for 5 rounds. He picked him apart and Santos was gassed and stuck in the mud in the last 2 rounds. Just because he landed a couple of clean strikes in the earlier rounds doesn't mean he won🤦
@@coenh8735 Jones did win that fight, of course, but to say Thiago Santos gassed and was "stuck in the mud" is insincere and completely disingenuous. He tore his MCL, tore his PCL, AND his ACL, and also tore his meniscus! Thats 4 different major injuries all in his left knee. He's lucky his leg was still attached, lol! The injuries happened after his leg moved unusually after he threw a kick. Santos had to fight for more than 4 rounds on one working leg and he still won 48-47 on a scorecard. I have full respect for Santos after that.
@@honestjonjonesfan5008 Jon was dominate because he was always bigger and longer than his opponents and when they were his size he struggled. So you are telling me that hes going to be able to take down Francis when hes out weighed by 25 pounds if muscle? Your fucking crazy.
@@botondbakos5954 Jones has great striking defence, and his striking isn't bad but yeah he needs to work on it if he's to keep his win streak as his wrestling isn't as effective anymore. I'm also concerned his durable chin may crack at any moment. The warning signs are there from the Reyes fight, and if Stipe Miocic beats Francis Ngannou (again) it could get very ugly for Jones as Miocic has great striking and fight IQ for a Heavyweight.
For fucks sake, I'll never understand how no one in the UFC properly acknowledged Jones' reckless use of his fingers pointed towards opponents' face and eyes in literally EVERY FIGHT.

He has a great chin and recovers very fast
He backs it up with great striking defence as well. He rolls really well with punches and kicks. Its explains why he's been able to preserve his chin for so long, he rarely gets hit cleanly. A chin can only last so long, and recovery is useless if you can't take a shot any longer. We all know what happened to Chuck Liddell after Rashad KO'd him.
@@madgavin7568 seeing chuck never being the same since that fight broke everybodys heart :(
@@lordeel4737 Chuck really loved fighting too much, even if it was against his own best interests. In hindsight the happy ending for Chuck Liddell would've been him riding off into the sunset after his epic war with Wanderlei Silva, it was a great victory to retire on.
@@madgavin7568 well said. His ability to roll with shots is extremely underrated. His chin is rock solid and ate those Reyes uppercuts like nothing
But he does drugs so that’s obviously the case???
The thing about Jones is he isn’t a hard fighter when it comes to a puzzle he’s more so a fighter who is great everywhere. What makes that hard to beat compared to other very similar fighters is because of his natural reach and speed as well as his fight iq
The chin, plus wrestling.
And steroids
Two of the people above me just hate because they wanna hate. Facts don’t care about your feelings. Jones is one of the GOATs in MMA. The only argument against him is PEDs, which everyone uses by the way.
And he lost against Reyes

Yupz exactly what loser says. You can't do nothing about that. That's a advantage of champion. You can't win easily by decision without significant strike or didn't much damage to champion. You must make his face really messed up and the whole world know he's fucked up. You need to knocked out the champion if you want to secure the win. Usually Champion take that W if by split decision and almost same with scored.
Jones did more damage to reyes tho, not to mention reyes spent the championship rounds running away
I love the format of the video. It’s like Jones is your video game character and all these opponents are increasingly difficult bosses you have to beat.
More like the other way around. Jones is the ultimate boss. And you keep using various different characters to attempt to finally beat him.
@@mrsain19 Great correction👌
A lot of this was Jon being lazy w his defense. In most of his fights his reach was so much longer than his opponent’s that he could just stiff arm to keep distance. Jon is great but he’s made this mistake so many times it’s unbelievable how he was never beat because of it
Why? Cuz he was so much bigger than all his competition lmao
You mean eye poke?💀
Dhalsim reach definitely helps
Personally think Vitor gave him the single moment where he almost lost with the arm bar. Thiago Santos is the biggest 'what if', given how well he did in the first round and destroyed his own knee in the second. Personally, I thought Jones just edged Reyes 3-2, but I have to blame Reyes, giving up those championship rounds because he "felt" he won the first 3 was suicide, and ultimately did what every fighter is told not to do and thats "do not leave the fight in the judges hands".
Put very well there mate.
I honestly don't think Jones did enough to get a clear win from the Reyes fight, it was super close and competitive. It was a great fight if it weren't for the controversial Decision, and no way did Jones win that by Unanimous Decision, even a Split Decision would be debatable at best. At the same time I feel the same thing with Reyes and the fight should have been called a Draw.
I think Reyes was gassed from all the moving around and throwing bombs in the earlier rounds, hence why he wasn't so effective with his striking in the Championship rounds. Jones' constant pressure paid off for him, but I do agree to an extent that Reyes thought he had it in the bag in the earlier rounds and got high off his own success. This same mindset hurt him in his performance against Jan Blachowicz for the belt.
@@madgavin7568 Yeah I agree with you. I think a lot of people are overlooking the fact that this fight was held in Texas, and Texas uses the old scoring criteria opposed to the New Unified Rules. So, Jones did against score a lot of points in the eyes of the judges for his 'Octagon Control', as you said the constant pressure. Really, I would say Reyes technically would have won under the Unified Rules, but not the old scoring criteria.
But yeah, a split decision would have made more sense instead of UD. I dont even think a draw would have been a bad call either.

Arguably? Dc was whooping his ass lmao. Id go as far as to say the headkick was lucky, plus cormier was 10 years older blah blah blah whatever
The Thiago fight was arguably the most frustrating. Out of nowhere his knees just ripped. Up to that point he was outclassing Jones. Not to make excuses but sometimes Jones gets blessed with some very fortunate situations.
That was no accident. He timed a dodge to his leg kick which made it happen
bro he blew his knee out bc of jon he was throwing hard kicks and jon was checking or just about avoiding them
If Jon felt not comfortable at that time, he should grapple Thiago. And we see in which level Thiagos grappling in previous fight. So, broken leg of Thiago is the cause of very close fight, I think
Even with the knees I had Santos winning 3 rounds
Jones v Gus 1
Jones v Reyes
Jones v Thiago
He clearly lost 3 rounds in those fights
Sounds like an excuse
How many times can Jon lose 3 out of 5 rounds before he actually loses a decision?

@@jadonmuller1576 exactly. No on has ever seriously messed up Jon. Closest was Gus and Santos. Reyes didn't hurt him at all. Go look at pics of Reyes and Jon after the fight and tell me that you still think Reyes won. True fans know tho. I've been watching UFC since 2005. Most people who hate on Jon are casuals or just don't like his actions outside of the octagon. No denying that he's the best inside the octagon tho
@@ArkansasGamer While I agree that Reyes lost, "looking at someone" after a fight means nothing. Damage isn't scored, strikes are. If you've been "watching UFC since 2005", you should know that. Reyes actually landed more significant strikes than Gus if you want to make that argument. Regardless, people forget Octagon control is a factor in the scoring process and Jon almost ALWAYS has control. People move in for combos but relent and give him control back.

The one common thing those fights had was that he finished strong. And if you see other fights, finishing strong plays very well with the judges.

He didn't. His fight with Gus, Jon was so badly injured compared to Gus that if the fight went on for another minute, he'd have his eyes sealed shut and lost. The Reyes fight was closer to an acceptable "win," but I think Reyes outperformed him entirely. Reyes blocked most of his power strikes, whereas Jon took Reyes' power strikes with his face. To call the fight for Jon because of some half-assed/exhausted/pansy takedowns in the final round, is favoritism at it's finest. Not to mention those takedowns had no impact on Reyes. He didn't get slammed to the mat, he was slowly pulled down on the wall like an anchor. It didn't damage Reyes at all and it didn't really put Jon in any favorable position to strike either. It was a shit win and you can see it on Jon's face too. It looks like he's shocked he won. Reyes was def shocked he lost. So was I, and many other spectators were as well. Those judges need to go get their eyes checked.

If Gustafson had been given the win, his reign would have been short lived. I believe if you wanna be the new champ, you’ve gotta completely dominate the long-standing champ and leave no debate as to whether or not you have won.
John became more terrifying the longer the fight went on. He was dangerous every second of his fights, and could end it out of nowhere in the late rounds.
not in the reyes fight. how are u gonna get beat into submission to turn your back and run after getting combod up helplessly and kicked in the face for 4 rounds just to finally get 2 face hits in the 4th round that still werent even close to what the other guy did to you mentally and physically. then in the 5th when reyes is gassed he didnt even have enough to finish him and just lands a few hits but still gets hit and cant defend against a gassed man lol but he raises his hands up in the end
At the beginning of his reign perhaps. He's finished 1 fight since 2013 (and no I'm not counting the DC finish since that was ruled a no contest retroactively).
Looking at his record, he's finished 2 fights in the 4th round and 0 fights in the 5th round.

Jon Jones is a very smart fighter. He keeps distance from his opponents using his long outstretched arms and punch/kick or elbow them at the right time.
Another point is: If these fighter take Jones down and use elbows as he likes to do, Jon Jones would get in a huge problem! It's like using his tatics against him or simply don't give peace to Jones during the fight, try to disturb, upset him somehow (Not insulting, just don't give time to think).
Gustafsson and Reyes did it pretty well.
Also, sometimes, I see Jones running from them inside the cage to "gain some extra time" or points.
(He's very smart).

The warning signs are there from the Reyes fight, and if Stipe Miocic beats Francis Ngannou (again) it could get very ugly for Jones as Miocic has great striking and fight IQ for a Heavyweight.
It’s his boxing tbh he’s a great kicker and elbows are top tier but his boxing is kinda lacking
@@A1Gz_ If he doesn't work on his boxing its very concerning if he's fighting Stipe Miocic, who has excellent boxing.
For fucks sake, I'll never understand how no one in the UFC properly acknowledged Jones' reckless use of his fingers pointed towards opponents' face and eyes in literally EVERY FIGHT.
