Reply to comment by SlickWickk in UFC releases heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou from contract, strips him of title by HeStoleMyBalloons

Jones hasn't fought in awhile, has never been known for striking power and has lost many of his reach and leverage advantages by going up a weight class.

On striking power....Jons broke at least 3 dudes orbital bones with ground and pound elbows(ask Shogun Rua😂), so yeah, totally lacking there.🙄

His elbows are definitely a lot scarier than his punches.

Dude hasn't KO'd anyone in over 4 years, has 1 KO in coming on 10 years now + he's moving up a weight class.

He fought 205....he walked around at like 230 on the regular, clowns like you thinking this guy can't throw is absolutely hilarious. Jon throws some of the most brutal spinning elbows in the history of the UFC, also his ground game is unreal, he's one of the only fighters I've ever seen that throws those devestating knees to an opponents side while their grounded. His only loss, was a win, he's undefeated in the UFC for almost ten years, lets be real, and without his crazy personal shit, he's one of the GOATS of the UFC, especially if he starts thrashing these HW.

Do you honestly think he can fight ngannou after 3 years of sitting on his ass? Are you insane? Chuck Liddell beat some dudes up years ago but I wouldn’t bet on him to beat Tyson fury. You’re bringing up old shit and somehow making the leap that he can do that do a guy who’s 50lb heavier than him? Ok… pray tell why hasn’t he had the title for the past 3 years if he’s so good?
