That shyt would suck
Israel Adesanya responds to Jon Jones: "He f***ed himself up by tarnishing his own legacy"
- Thread starter douche
- Start date
He didn't lie!
Israel will beat Jones and Stipe, he too skilled and has the size and reach to go along with it.
Fighters are more skilled at the lighter weights, Thiago Santos use to be a middleweight and gave Jon jones his toughest fight, Israel has longer legs and his boxing is much better which is Jon Jones' weakness. Grappling is overrated in MMA can be nullified with range control which is why Jones could not take down Santos, who controlled the range with his leg kicks and the fact he covered distance very fast moving in and out of attack range, which is why jones had to be very cautious because he was aware of his knock out power.
Stipe is just too slow to pose a threat to Israel, Israel with the 6'4 frame can put on lean muscle pretty easily and will be more dangerous at those weights even if he comes in much lighter than his opponents because he will have added power to his strikes.
Only a good counter puncher can beat easily, when he was KO'd in kickboxing it was a guy who has a fast left hook, probably on roids, and they already when the distance before so he was use to his timing, Israel's striking defense isn't that great, head movement nowhere near prime anderson silva, its just most people in mma are so trash on the fight, they have no hope, Israel is competent on the crown, he's being in mma just as long as he has been in kickboxing, 18-0, you can't be 18-0 in mma without a ground game no matter where you fight, the guy who KO'd in kickboxing is 2-1 in mma and was submitted in his lost, mcgregor was submitted multiple times before coming to the UFC, Anderson Silva was submitted multiple times before coming to UFC prior to him being a blackbelt in BJJ, Israel is more well rounded than Anderson Silva in pride who was pretty much invincible accept against submission because he wasn't competent in BJJ yet, even if fought the same guy who KO'd in kickboxing in MMA, he would beat that guy even if he can't beat him in kickboxing because he has way more mma skills.
Jon jones should be training with Deontay Wilder, or working with boxing coaches like Ronnie Shields, his stand up defense relies on his reach advantage, and the fact he doesn't face elite strikers, Santos was the first one he faced and he was reduced to a pedestrian pace because he didn't want to get caught with any punches, the difference is Israel applies pressure, he's not like anderson silva who is a counter striker, Israel attacks first and when Jon can't take him down, he will start to get pieced up
