I said that would be the result rumble will do the same to Jones in two
the only thing anthony johnson has more than Jon jones is a very heavy right hand, so jones has just to avoid that, jon bones jones is a also a better wrestler and i think he will win again
And the left head kick and about twice the power jones has jones knock u out with alot of strikes and fheu add up , rumnle only need one . Record holder for most first round knock outs , he will go to sleep in two.
if ‘Rumble’ is stronger, why johnson was defeated by Vitor Belfort in just one round (submission) in 2012 while Jon Jones won against him (via submission) the same year??!?!
Rumble used to cut ALOT of weight to make weight. That affected his performance because he gassed alot. Basically, he was a LHW/HW making WW/MW weight limits and that significantly affected his performance, his kidneys gave out on him. Now that’s he doesn’t have to cut that much of a weight anymore, he’s fighting at his full potential.
U talking victor belfort a striker just the fact that he went for the submission prove my point. Out of all johnson has the ebility to stop the fight in the first more then jones and beltfort at this time in there carries. And look at what he then to alex jones did not come close to stopping alex and he had 5 rounds. It took johnson 2 min and some change. Jones has more skill but he has lack power at least compared to johnson,.
