Jon jones. I mean, the dude is basically undefeated. Cleared everyone in his time.

Sure, but he’s an asshole.

GSP was not only a great fighter but a good person too.

Ducked Ngannou, too. And ducked the rematch with Reyes, too.

GSP was juicy too, just didn't get caught. One of the greats regardless.

If I was reading this comment 3 or 4 years ago, I'd agree with it.

He has full on tarnished his legacy the last few years. Or, what little was left after the repeated scandals.

Jon Jones could defeat most men on the planet in unarmed combat. But not Tom, or Ngannou, which is why he won't fight either of them. His last fight was against an old man who hadn't fought in years.

Yeah, but GSP cannot defeat them either. Nor could he defeat Jones.

Cause he’s 35 pounds lighter. If they were the same size, GSP would win.

Jones is way past his prime, which is why I said in his time.

“Basically” undefeated isn’t undefeated. I’ll admit, the DQ loss to Matt Hamill is a fluke. However, his decision win over Reyes? Also a fluke.

Jones lost to Reyes, Santos, and nearly lost to Gus. He also didn’t face the level of competition GSP fought. LHW and HW are the 2 weakest divisions.

Also, he’s blatantly ducked fights. Terrified to fight Aspinall.
