    Jones’ chin is ridiculous man.

    Got hit with some big shots and never got rocked.

    Was a close one but I had Jones just edging it.

    It’s a pity Santos * his knee early doors.

    Can maybe see why Jones hasnt moved up to heavyweight, Santos is one of the first guys hes fought near his own level of height and mobility and he looked scared of him. Cormier is a wee fat * and Jones I think is comfortable against him as he knows he can move away from him and has big reach advantage, Gustafsson a bit lanky and not the same speed or power. Other guys either a bit older or slower.

    Would like to see him fight Miocic or Ngannou if he goes to heavy rather than Cormier.

    Would of liked to see how Masvidal-Askren would of panned out. Mad knockout.

    Jones poor. Could of went either way. I'd like to see DC spark him tbh.

    After seeing that I think so as well, if that was even Overeem against him who is well past his best he might have done Jones.

    I used to think nobody would beat Jones until last week I thought Ngannou would have a chance of knocking him out, Miocic I think would be a little too robotic and slow and guys like Velasquez, Overeem etc are on the way out. But after that and how little he attacked Santos as he looked worried about getting hit I wonder how he'd beat Miocic or even an Overeem.

    Jones has pretty thin legs as well especially compared to heavyweights so if he did go up they'd target him, even Ngannou was kicking legs last week, his legs are probably twice as thick as Jones lol

    Askren always leaves himself wide open for those knees the way he dips his head constantly looking for a takedown the warning signs were there in the Lawler fight. Nunes is the GOAT she should be mentioned alongside Jon Jones as the best of all time just an absolute beast, she used to really annoy me but I've grown to like her.
