hmmm...are they implying this is Francis?...cause I mean, that is true about Francis too...his in ring persona is far from how nice he is out of the ring.

Tiger doesn't have a chance with a Grizzley Francis size. Every punch counts with Francis. He's quick powerful and has improved wrestling wise and Jon has a tendency to fight dirty. I don't know much about Grizzlies but I do know YOU DONT WANT TO MAKE THEM MAD. You want them to stay as calm and respectful as possible. Jon will bring the WORST out of him which in return will be very bad for Jon. Jon isn't saying what he's saying for no reason. A real one knows a real one 💯
@@1976ARTAN yeah jones is a horrible person. Even if he raped little girls everyone would still love him because he’s a good fighter. Screw this guy, he shouldn’t be allowed to fight anywhere legally. Hit and run on a pregnant lady, beats up his wife in front of his kids. He’s a piece of trash.
Getting knocked out isn’t the worst case scenario. With Francis, after you are knocked out, and you are lying there helpless with an unprotected face with the backboard of the mat, and everyone in the ring KNOWS you are knocked out, Francis will still come in and land about 4 to 5 BOMBS to your face. That is the biggest risk when fighting Francis. No one hits a clearly unconscious person who has clearly lost like Francis. What a guy!
Disagree first round AJ knocked him too the ground mma refs would have stopped it right there. When you get dropped in boxing and get up no one’s there too save you from brain damage
@@Agent47001 not true. Maybe the MMA try to stop it, but Francis is fast. Watch his MMA fights. He pounds unconscious dudes long after they are out. Personally, I think he should be brought up on charges. It’s clearly malicious and most MMA fighters have the intelligence and discipline to not do what Francis does.
@@myboi6049 thats how he fought against rampage and the whole crawling to the center of the ring started. He kept dreaming that he was going to get knocked out so he started crawling haha 😄 dude changed his own destiny
100% facts. most people are sheep and dont know anything about fighting. jones ran hard just like hes now running from aspinall. but ngannou really terrified him.
Ran hard? They were from different fkin divisions, Francis is a natural HW, who cuts to make freakin 265, Jon is a natural LHW who has to gain weight to be on the same weight as smaller HW. But sure Jon should have directly jumped to HW by putting some fat on to fight the most dangerous HW in the world, for what peanuts money? Jon wasn't going to take such a risk that unless he got paid a massive amount of money, I am talking 10-15 million dollars. Dana had no intention of paying him or Francis that.
Best mentality a fighter could have, optimistic yet realistic. It's why Jon has been on top for as long as he has. This may be the most hyped fight of all time, maybe in a few years after Ngannou is done collecting boxing paydays we will witness this once and for all.
@@TranNguyen-mg9qq He will get a boxing offer. He has the big name and UFC pedigree. Big time boxers want to cash in on that plus they will believe he is levels below their usual competition so they won't be afraid to take a circus fight that pays well. Everybody expects him to get outclassed by top boxers, it's about him getting the biggest payday of his career. No one will forget about him, he's still the UFC heavyweight champion because he never lost the belt. He can always go back to any MMA organization he wants afterwards because of his resume. Leaving was a smart financial decision for Ngannou.
this is why he’s the fkn goat. that kind of mentality is so fkn smart. he’s essentially eliminating any fear he my have of fighting an opponent like Ngannou
This is probably the first time I’ve heard Jon say he believes that he can win a fight and it isn’t him just straight up telling word for word how he is going to destroy his opponent like he did to dc. Really shows how dangerous ngannou is to have that much respect from Jon.
He never officially moved up or fought Francis this fight was suppose to happen 3 years ago when he claimed he could jump weight very next fight and beat Francis he didn't do that Izzy bumped up in weight and fought at light heavy and lost I think that made Jones hold off his choice for a good 3 years back then he said he would beat Francis now he realized how dangerous Francis truly is after heading down to arizona and sparring with heavyweights
@@israelolupelumi8208 took him 3 years to admit it though look him up when he was light heavy champ he was saying very next fight he can bump up and beat anybody then he relized how tuff it was gonna really be got humbled a few times in Arizona cause he was kicked out of Jackson winks for hitting his wife in Vegas then he realized reality came to terms with himself and said this
Nah nah, worst case scenario for Jon is that he gets manhandled by a much more powerful athlete and that his strikes and punches are ineffective against Ngannou. Just like what happened to Fury where you could see disbelief on his face when he realized he couldn’t hurt Francis with his most powerful punches. I think that’s the scariest for jones
See... This is one of the reasons why Jones is the best. Realistically he knows what could happen but, has the experience and confidence to get the win.
I’d say Colby Covington and Lyoto Machida are also both really intelligent. The thing is, Jones is intelligent AND, 1) is a sociopath, which is good for fighting, 2) is 6’4, 3) has a huge 84” reach, and 4) is insanely strong
@@charlesg7926 You´re absolute right,especially with Machida.His height & reach gives him a fight "safety" with every component.Even Ngannou had a problem to approach him for his fist-bombs.
and gaethje or however u spell justins lastname, hes said everytime he goes to fight tells himself they’re better and everything. Its not quite as intense as jons but still similar
What makes Jones so great is the respect / fear he has for his opponents. After all his victories against world champions, he still has the fear that he could lose. That’s how you never get comfortable on top of the mountain
He has matured now.. he knows he can handle Ngannou.. but still speaks modestly. Only guy who stood toe to toe or can still stand toe to toe with him is Alexander Gustafson
@@RAZOR_RICKY definitely lost to reyes 3-2. ngannou wouldve killed him. look how ngannou starched miocic. jones is skinnier and weaker than miocic was then. he wouldve been killed.
Jon never got xomfortable with that idea, thats why he sat out for years and started calling out ngannou once he left the ufc. Remember jones has been ducking him since francis sparked jairzinio. People were talking about francis potentially being jon's first fight at heavyweight before that, as soon as it happened jones tweeted something along the lines of "show me the money" knowing full well the ufc wouldn't do that. Dana literally started riding Jon so hard because francis left, he wanted to diminish francis' ability to draw money outside of the ufc, even though in the post fight press conference he was asked about the jon vs francis matchup and said "If I was Jon I'd move down to middleweight instead of fighting francis at heavyweight." People either have short memories or choose to ignore reality because they are Jones fans. Jon is most likely one of the smartest fighters ever and he was very smart to avoid francis.
I believe you are going to get through round #1 and you win the fight "Jon Bones Jones"! You will become the next Heavyweight Champion of the World!!! 👊🏼👊🏼👏🏼
It is about counteracting the first punch to ensure it lands directly to a person face this is how I would speculate it is just to express my opinion if you understand what I mean.
I love how you jonessexuals haven't realized this is Jon's first heavy weight fighter. Reyes, Gustafson even rampage do not even compare in heavyweight or knockout power.
I mean imo wilder hits harder then francis and people have tanked harder hits then a wilder hit (people have tanked foreman shavers liston hits) so imo its possible to take a hit from francis nguannu But you have to be in like the .1% of chins to do it
@@Arthurmorgan398 you guys do realize Jones is a lot bigger than he was right? I feel like punches do damage more relative to size so a punch from rampage in LHW would probably be similar to a HW punch in HW
@@epimaz exactly why he said theres a good chance he could get knocked the fuck out and if he csn make it past 1st rd he’d be good. Cos i think heavy weights slow down dramatically after rd 1
Not to compare credentials. But Stipe vs Francis 1 was a real eye opener that Francis couldn't deal with a good wrestler. Stipe vs Francis 2, what a year later. Francis stuffed the takedown from Stipe, ended up taking Stipe down and then knocked him out in spectacular fashion. I'm not saying Francis would beat Jonny bones but this sports adapts and changes very quickly and the certain martial specialist side is becoming a thing of the past.
Jon's mentality is more of a warrior than a fighter. If you embrace the outcome of death and can still stare in it face then there is nothing you fear that is a dangerous mixture and Jon is all about it.
This is a great analogy for life. If you become comfortable with your worst fears actually playing out and becoming comfortable with the fact that it could happen but you will be ok is a awesome mindset
it would have been the ideal fight between a Lean, super skillful and fast fighter (Jones) and the huge, super strong and scary fighter (Francis) its almost an anime fight in real life.
This is a smart man talking . He knows his enemy , he knows himself. He sees the possible options and he is realistic but brave , cautious but confident That us why he us the Goat.
If you think that a few years of work could be enough to do anything on the ground to a guy with the pedigree of Jon Jones you are either delusional or understand very very little about the reality of mma
@@CLEFFJOEvery possible considering Francis lost to derrick fucking lewis the most one dimensional fighter to exist😂😂 jon would kill francis with ground and pound
To be fair, Ngannou knew JJ was coming before he stepped out.. Jon Jones said to Ngannou he is coming a year before even, and once he seen Jones coming was inevitable suddenly Ngannou had the urge to go elsewhere.. I don't know but it seems my dude ran away very conveniently.

" I hated every minute of training. But I said don't quit! Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion"
he spoke the truth of what would happen and thats why he dodged the fight
I love the honesty in this guy! True Champion mentality! RESPECT 🙏🏾
Jones is the fucking goat bro
Goat at beating his wife and doing drugs?
He has matured now.. he knows he can handle Ngannou.. but still speaks modestly. Only guy who stood toe to toe or can still stand toe to toe with him is Alexander Gustafson
The man couldn't handle Reyes 😂 got smoked and defo lost the fight imagine what would Nagannou do to him 😂
@@alexmulugeta9582definitely did not get smoked by reyes. Dom got walked the fuck down, also, where is dom now whats his last win again😂😂😂
@@RAZOR_RICKY definitely lost to reyes 3-2. ngannou wouldve killed him. look how ngannou starched miocic. jones is skinnier and weaker than miocic was then. he wouldve been killed.
This is good life advice period.
He's got a realistic outlook
Thats the diffrent between men and women. Men are factual.
In the famous words of the GOAT Mike Tyson “Everyone has a plan until they get hit”
Jon never got xomfortable with that idea, thats why he sat out for years and started calling out ngannou once he left the ufc.
Remember jones has been ducking him since francis sparked jairzinio. People were talking about francis potentially being jon's first fight at heavyweight before that, as soon as it happened jones tweeted something along the lines of "show me the money" knowing full well the ufc wouldn't do that.
Dana literally started riding Jon so hard because francis left, he wanted to diminish francis' ability to draw money outside of the ufc, even though in the post fight press conference he was asked about the jon vs francis matchup and said "If I was Jon I'd move down to middleweight instead of fighting francis at heavyweight."
People either have short memories or choose to ignore reality because they are Jones fans.
Jon is most likely one of the smartest fighters ever and he was very smart to avoid francis.
I believe you are going to get through round #1 and you win the fight "Jon Bones Jones"! You will become the next Heavyweight Champion of the World!!! 👊🏼👊🏼👏🏼
It is about counteracting the first punch to ensure it lands directly to a person face this is how I would speculate it is just to express my opinion if you understand what I mean.
Jones does have that fucking chin. I just don’t know if any chin can withstand that power
I love how you jonessexuals haven't realized this is Jon's first heavy weight fighter. Reyes, Gustafson even rampage do not even compare in heavyweight or knockout power.
@OnlyUseMeBlade’s Sidepiece no he's right I truly believe Jones has never been hit as hard as he's about to get hit in this fight
I mean imo wilder hits harder then francis and people have tanked harder hits then a wilder hit (people have tanked foreman shavers liston hits) so imo its possible to take a hit from francis nguannu
But you have to be in like the .1% of chins to do it
@@Arthurmorgan398 you guys do realize Jones is a lot bigger than he was right? I feel like punches do damage more relative to size so a punch from rampage in LHW would probably be similar to a HW punch in HW
@@epimaz exactly why he said theres a good chance he could get knocked the fuck out and if he csn make it past 1st rd he’d be good. Cos i think heavy weights slow down dramatically after rd 1
Never seen a fighter this honest - and to be honest it shows mental strength if anything - not weakness
Not to compare credentials. But Stipe vs Francis 1 was a real eye opener that Francis couldn't deal with a good wrestler. Stipe vs Francis 2, what a year later. Francis stuffed the takedown from Stipe, ended up taking Stipe down and then knocked him out in spectacular fashion. I'm not saying Francis would beat Jonny bones but this sports adapts and changes very quickly and the certain martial specialist side is becoming a thing of the past.
Now that Francis hasn't resigned, I'm sooo bummed we won't see that fight
Jon's mentality is more of a warrior than a fighter. If you embrace the outcome of death and can still stare in it face then there is nothing you fear that is a dangerous mixture and Jon is all about it.
Excellent Mentality
This is a great analogy for life. If you become comfortable with your worst fears actually playing out and becoming comfortable with the fact that it could happen but you will be ok is a awesome mindset
Everyone that has fought and lost to Francis has been able to say the same thing. Didn’t help them either ducky
Jon jones is being honest i believe if he past through round 1 jon jones will win
I’m with you. Jon has shown that if you wanna a chance at beating you have to stop him early
Nagannou kod Stipe in the 2nd round and went to distance with one leg against Gane and won 🤷🏿
Yeah past through round 1 doing nothing and NGANOU will get magically tired. Great logic 😂😂😂😂😂
it would have been the ideal fight between a Lean, super skillful and fast fighter (Jones) and the huge, super strong and scary fighter (Francis) its almost an anime fight in real life.
Hope for the best but prepare for the worst, makes sense to me
He is very truthfully and humble jon Jones and he recognized the power the strength of his opponent 😮😮😮😮
This is a smart man talking . He knows his enemy , he knows himself. He sees the possible options and he is realistic but brave , cautious but confident That us why he us the Goat.
So much respect for the humility of this guy. Real talk
Dana White doesn't wanna see Jon Jones gets airlifted to the hospital hence he didn't want Francis to get in the ring with Jones
One, Dana absolutely wanted that fight. Two, they don't fight in a ring.
@@Surfrider-waves thank you for letting him know lol
unfortunately jones is scared of prime heavyweights
worse case scenario is he snaps your neck bc he lets you take him down . And then you find out he's been workn that ground game..
Francis could work on his ground game for 5 years Jon would still dominate him
@@HS-cf1bt 🤡🤡🤡
If you think that a few years of work could be enough to do anything on the ground to a guy with the pedigree of Jon Jones you are either delusional or understand very very little about the reality of mma
@@epimaz i mean DC who's an gold olymian wreslter and world champion cant takedown JJ, you think ngannou will ?
@@epimaz 🤡🤡🤡
Love the dog comfortably snoozing on papas leg ❤
Real fighters never underestimate there opponent, always show your the man across from u respect
Technically Francis could kill a man with his fist. That's the worst case scenario bud.
Best believe he has back in Cameroon
Jones is more dangerous
Technically anyone could bud.
@@moses9811 lmao, another Jones sucker
Technically anyone could but that's very rare against trained fighters.
Wish we had seen that fight. Jones probably would have subbed him too.
Not possible my friend
@@CLEFFJOEidiot
@@CLEFFJOEvery possible considering Francis lost to derrick fucking lewis the most one dimensional fighter to exist😂😂 jon would kill francis with ground and pound
Jones is on a next level that's why he's the goat
True wrestler analysis
This fight never happening is an absolute tragedy. Dana White will never be forgiven
jones is the one who ran
GO FRANCIS!!!
- Jon's wife
Yknow whats more scary? Jon Jones with a SHOTGUN lmao
Jones vs ngannou and khabib vs Ferguson would’ve been some of the greatest fights ever seen
Khabib would maul Ferguson. It would not be close
@@davidtammaro7137prime Ferguson you casual
I low key don't get why people keep saying bad stuff about Jon Jones when he be real like this
because he ran from ngannou
If Jon beats Francis I want the talking to stop. Jon has immortalized himself with Achilles
No wonder JJ dodged him for 3 years only to surface after he left and play the blame game. I would do the same too
Jon jones has never dodged anyone have you not seen his resume? Lmao stop it 🤦🏻♂️
@@ZigZaguiarHaving a good record doesn't mean you never dodged anyone. You'll learn how the world works one day kiddo.
To be fair, Ngannou knew JJ was coming before he stepped out.. Jon Jones said to Ngannou he is coming a year before even, and once he seen Jones coming was inevitable suddenly Ngannou had the urge to go elsewhere.. I don't know but it seems my dude ran away very conveniently.
