UFC 196, March 5th, Las Vegas, Nevada

[bert07]

The difference I foresee as the biggest problem is HW power vs Jon's chin. Not sold he can take a shot esp from a guy with Roy Nelson type power. Not many can tho I guess.

He would need to fight from range and pop in and out. His kick striking would be featured moreso maybe.

Athletically he is a freak so I give him the benefit of the doubt.
I could see him competing for the HW title if he can keep his nose clean for a couple years.

He is more a villain then the McGregor showman if you ask me. UFC may not embrace him like they did conor but they prob will do anything for super card money.

I agree. Jones is easier to hate in general. McGregor almost had to make you hate him over time.

I would agree with the range comments. I think being technical would be his best bet. I just don't see him, or anyone for that matter, being able to take a punch from a man who's probably going to weigh more than 30-40 pounds than he is come fight time.

Conor threw bombs and wasn't able to rock Nate. Nate threw jabs and was rocking Conor. Bigger men are tougher for a reason lol
