UFC 247 On ESPN+ PPV [2/8] “Swangin’ & Bangin” (Jon Jones/Dominick Reyes, Shevchenko/Chookagian)

[Lord Beasley]

Outside of that 1st round Jon Jones controlled they fight and was walking him down the whole fight while Reyes was dancing around and jabbing. If you wanna take the champs belt you gotta beat him convincingly the end

he was getting outstruck handily 1-2, but even Reyes acknowledged he didnt do well in the championship rounds. 3 is where him slowing down was first noticeable

 

[Master Teacher]

Even Rogan who was slobbering Jones all fight is shytting on that judge. Jones has a horseshoe up his ass. It’s arguable he lost both his last two

then why didn't he lose lmao, Jones has to completely dominate to win a round on sore losers eyes just because you want him to lose

Jones ain't even draw, this nikkaz be scared to take it to Jones and get the belt, end of story it was the same with Gus, he bytched out in the first fight lmao

 

[Curtis Nightfish]

The controversial decision is going to overshadow the fact that Jones had another boring point fighting performance. Kinda hard to believe from the guy who had an incredible finishing streak against top competition during his initial run to the title

This is what’s getting lost in all of this.

I know other fighters are smelling blood in the water

 

[Waterproof]

Jones is an old 32

 

[BigBrown21]

Reyes won that fight, but Jones is like Canelo for MMA.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Stop it breh. This ain’t black or white. It’s just bad judging.

I’m talking about the commentators whining....
fukk that shyt

Kobe died
My Niners Lost
Trump ain’t get impeached
Another childhood friend of mine died 4 days ago.

I kinda needed this

so

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

MMA should have a 5 point system with the ref as one of the judges

 

[luckyse7enz]

I need that Jones vs Adesanya at light Heavyweight ASAP.

Yeah..if Adesanya survive Yoel, that's the fight to make before Bones moves on.

 

[aceboon]

They're right to call out the 49-46 scorecard but its hilarious listening to Rogan talk about judges not being able to judge accurately when he routinely calls fights way off the mark from what's actually happening in the cage.

 

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

I don't see how Jon has regressed like people have said. Fighting the Brandon Vera's of the world, yeah, he can do spinning backfists and all that other video game fighting move shyt. As he gets older, he's stretching out his career by fighting more methodical, thus he takes less risks in a fight. He's no longer the Michael Jordan that was high flying against Lakers in his first NBA Finals. He's the Michael Jordan that retooled his game with the mid-range fadeaway against the Utah Jazz in the Finals. Jon is still scoring his 30 a game and the result is the same but his output is different.

 

[Human Torch]

I get that you gotta BEAT the champ to be the champ. But this was by no means a unanimous decision.

 

[trick]

Jones has regressed BIG time. Same combos over and over again, and is reluctant to use his dynamic wrestling (Reyes' take down defense is legit though). He won't remain champion for long imo

People have been leaving his gym in droves. I remember reading that they brought in complete newbies (as in, literally people who just started training) to train for Holly Holm's fight. Holly is at the same gym as Jon Jones.

 

[NasirJr]

I’m here to support my fellow African American. fukk all that other shyt nikka

I disagree. He's the same Jones, it's just that the rest of the division has caught up to him. When he was younger he was ahead of his time. Now he's fighting guys who are his size and and equally as skilled.

 

[Canon]

I had jones winning 2, 4 and 5
