To be p4p or the goat it's about who you beat. Bone Jones has beaten former Champs.

When you look back at all the former Champs bones Jones has beaten that alone is nuff said for his goat status.

For khabib da only real W on his record as champ is Connor. Sorry I do not count the RDA fight as khabib wasn't champ then and it was a 3 round fight, no championship rounds.

If you don't want to count Jones cous of PEDS that makes perfect sense. But I can't put khabib anywhere in the top 5 goats even. Gsp, Silva, Aldo, Hughes Randy Chuck even.

Beating a gaethe and a pointer just doesn't do it for him when comparing with other Champs.
Lol @ this nonsense

My fav Jones response about the PED’s is when he says “the pictogram made him throw the kick that tko’d DC...”

Jones was willing to fight on short notice for 2 weight classes LHW or HW. Make that make sense.
Did he or did he not fight Chael on 8 days notice? The answer is no. That IG post is in reference to when DC pulled out and he fought OSP. He wasn't fighting no damn HW, he's been talking about that since 2013.

Listen to this pure idiocy from George and the closeted Canadian grifter


Once again, Jorge has no right to speak on socialism when he was crying for better pay over the summer. And listen to their immigration convo where they say Cubans were escaping death squads while the current Mexicans/Central Americans are basically bums leaving a crap country for free benefits. It’s proven most of the generational Cubans were wealthy exploiters while most of these current immigrants are running from extreme violence, gangs, hopeless economic situation, etc. Rooting for nonstop losses for this journeyman, even if he faces an idiot like Colby

RDA went on a tear and won the title afterwards :mjlol: Most of the guys Khabib beat were in their prime while Jones fought no knees Shogun/Rampage/Evans, Chael, Anthony Smith, OSP(and struggled with the last two) Only dude who he truly beat that was good was DC and it’s proven he cheated to do it

RDA won 5 straight fights before the Khabib fight and then 5 straight after including title wins but according to that dude "it doesn't count". And lol @ him trying to say Poirier and Gaethje aren't elite wins. The skill level difference b/w lightweight and light heavyweight is night and day.

155 and 170 will at any time have the potential to be the most stacked weight classes. If only because most adult males if they cut weight would be at one of those 2 weight classes. I think those always have the potential to be the toughest ones to hold down.

Stipe deserves mad credit at Heavy though. That’s a scary weight class because no matter how talented or not anyone is, one mistake leads to one shot. And one shot on the jaw or the temple from anyone at that weight can turn your lights out. Heavy has the most “puncher’s chance” outcomes.

And yeah. RDA at any point after 2011 to now is a massive win

there are so many storylines to get behind in the LW division rn. :to:

Dustin "making life fair" with Conor
Tony making a run for the belt he could never get his hands on
Chandler proving whether or not he's truly a LW legend on the ultimate stage
Do Bronx emerging as the new dark horse
How Hooker's gonna perform after being in 2 of the biggest wars this year
