You should have seen how those braindead honkeys on Twitter and Reddit were talking for months going into this fight. :mjlol:


"Jones looks bloated and overweight. He's washed"

"Jones doesn't have the huge reach advantage over Gane like he usually has over other opponents"

"Look at how he struggled against Santos and Reyes. Gane is way more skilled than either of them"

Only for Bones to win in 2 min. :mjlol:
You could've read all that same shyt right here in The Coliseum

The GOAT / Greatest conversation looks at outside the sport activities as inside the sport activities.
Jon's legal and drug abuse history makes it hard to be the GOAT because he lacks the image that would make him an aspirational character.
Jones accomplishments make him the BEST, but not the GOAT.
I don't think there is a MMA GOAT yet, closest is Khabib but he retired too early.
I mean, Maradona was not an inspirational character outside of soccer and yet most or half or soccer fans considered him the goat along with Pele, pre-Messi

Jones comes from a family of PEDs violators. Both his brothers popped for them (Chandler Jones, Arthur Jones).

To me that disqualifies him from the discussion. Sad part is (imo) Jon has never needed them.

He's the most Talented MMA fighter I've ever seen, but I can't call him the GOAT because of the juicing/substance issues.

non PED drug abuse is a flaw that people have sympathy over. Jon's history of beating his gf, testing positive for a banned substance, hit and running a pregnant woman, etc are things people actively dislike.

Tbf that's what made Maradona even more of one of the GOATs to me. Was as fukked up in his personal life as a lot of folk are. No sugarcoating

It's kind of unfortunate that him and Israel are most likely never going to fight now. I was a big fan of their beef a while back. But now that Izzy has been beaten twice and possibly a third coming up there's no chance Jon will give him the time of day. He lost that allure of being unstoppable now that he's been brought back down to earth in defeat.

Plus there's the weight class difference.
