I've heard about you and your breakdowns, but this is the first video i've actually watched and i gotta say.... I'm beyond impressed. Great job.
Aye it’s martial👌🏼
I love your UFC 2 videos, I have learned so much thank you!!
You've heard the legendary weasle?
Martial Mind ayyye, welcome to the Weasle party martial
MARTIAL THE GOAT
The only thing you can be certain of in this next fight is more eye pokes from Jones.
Jon 'Poke bones' Jones. Hasn't actually beaten guys his own height
That's the secret weapon he was talking about
You would think that but they punish them a lot quicker now so I don't think he will. Maybe might sneak in one
If you don’t cheat to win, are you really winning? Lol
@@HostNinjaa if it's big Jon he said he's tightening up on that type of shit w all people
Interviewer: So Jon what is your prediction for this fight?
Jon: A pinch of salt inside an olympic size pool.
Interviewer: No Jon, your prediction...
Jon: A pinch
Dick pills were never my friend

@@B3nkeii Too long to write.
If you search Jon Jones picograms, you will understand.
You scared me man, my dumbass thought i missed their second fight for a minute lolll
ESPN need you as a analyst!
Weasel, go on Rogan! :D
Let’s start the petition
@@2xHooligan Someone start it. I'll definitely sign it !
They need alot of help at ESPN they only hire leftist who hate this country.
The breakdown would be longer than 90% of fights lol
Been waiting for this. Can't wait to watch after work. Hardest working channel in the game 👊🏽
Yo I requested this on Twitter so long ago I’m so happy to see it’s here
This was SUCH a great fight, thank you for breaking it down, Weasle
Been waiting for that one! Thx weasel!!
Weasle, I watched this fight this morning to study the fight next week. Thank you, your breakdowns are awesome.
No problem man. So much happened in this fight, truly a high level fight.
He posts right on his opponents eyeballs. It's very effective.
Thanks for this treat for when I finish work tonight!!
Been waiting for this vid man... Rewatched the fight a couple days ago in preparation for this vid lol love the vids man can't wait for the fight next week 😆
Amazing breakdowns weasle keep up the great work!
Yes!!! Been looking for this for along time. Thank you!!!!
Weasle coming in clutch while I'm at work!
Hey @Theweasle Amazing breakdown..Keep up the great work
FINALLY! thanks Weasle!
one of your best breakdowns yet, can tell you care a great deal about this fight
Mindsmash vs theweasel. Make it happen Dana
Weasel > Mindsmash easy
mindsmash voice is kinda creepy though
Mindsmash is a psuedo psychologist wanna be. No real technical insight. Just vomiting shithouse psychiatry in a try hard creepy voice with x file music and the lamens lap up
@@jimmyeatass2111 yeah he just stretches and fluffs out pretty basic information and insight, beginner level analysis.
Weasel has a way higher figyt iq. That mindsmash dude seems like a middle aged guy that watched too many karate movies when he was young
great video like always man!
Awesome breakdown as always 👍
Wow Weasle, really outdid yourself this time. Absolutely incredible analyses. Keep em comin
Thank you so much!
Been waiting on this
I wish it was the 29th already. I want to see this fight.
Thank you for the video 😀
Been a fan of yours for a while now. This was hands down the best fight breakdown for one of the best fights in MMA. Keep up the good work man !
Thanks so much man, I worked hard studying this fight :)
@@TheWeasleMMA It shows bro. It honestly does. I really hope ESPN signs you. I personally think your breakdowns are way more insightful and more well thought out than Dan Hardy's or any other analyst. And the way you explain things is very very easy to understand. Thank you for your hard work !
Been trying to soak up all the Jones content 😁
Crazy good content. Please do some Fedor fights
Fedor is overrated
@@dropforfun396 No he isn't dummy.
Gustafson 100% won the first 3 rounds. Gustafson was clean in round 4 too until the last 2 minutes. And even the 5th round was very close. He definitely won the first, he dominated the second, he definitely won the third, and it was pretty even in the 4th (slight edge Alex) and 5th (slight edge Jon).
He definitely didn’t win the third round
Dominated the 2nd and definitely won 3rd ? What kind of drug are you sniffing 😂
After the fight I saw a picture of Jones, it said he won the fight, I remember thinking what must the other guy look like?
Yayyyy... I waiting for this since a long time
FANTASTIC! analysis.
Good stuff man
The Weasle? More like the Beast of analysis
I honestly thought Gus had 3 rounds over JJ, but I re-watched the fight 3 days ago and... I don't know, it was definitely a close fight with rounds that could go either way, but as a whole, JJ had the biggest moments in the fight, and I feel like JBJ had it, woulnd't be hard to give him 3 rounds at all. It was frustrating to watch from Gus's side though, because there were a lot of exchanges where I really believe he could've pressed Jon, but he would connect with 2-3 punches and let jon go and reset completely.
I think Jon has probably evolved more, he's a tremendous mind in the cage as well and Gus hasn't been that active... If I had to guess, I'd say Jon developed more tools in the meantime than Gus did. Now, if Gus can press Jon a bit more and exploit his defense, and if he maintained that chin, I woulnd't be surprised. But he really can't give Jon any space. Jon landed way too many flush high kicks in this fight that I had remembered.
Bro tf are you talking about . He lost 4 rounds to 1
@@tytalks4214cap
Why did you deleted Conor-Nate and Conor-Max breakdowns ? i really wanna watch em again !!
I know. I miss them too
Can you make a prediction video for the PFL card on New year's eve?
I scored this fight for Jones. I had it 2 to 2 going into the 5th, and Jones definitely won the 5th.
ScorpionXII 2-2 going into the 5th? Dana is that you?
Me too and I think u can argue for 3-1 for jones .. he landed a lot of kicks in different parts leg,head body but the first 3 rounds were close
The first 4 were close. I had Gus winning the 4th until the last minute or so. I do give Jones that 4th but I can see how someone might give it to Gus as well
Could you please breakdown Cruz vs Dillashaw?! That was the most technical fight ever!
That being said... I bingwatched watching ALL your breakdowns since before youtube took em down and this was your most impressive breakdown yet! The rousy vs Nunes was what got me into it. I think that was the first 1 I saw too. Your are so fun to watch
Hell of a breakdown, love all them u make really. I felt Jones pretty clearly won this fight especially in the championship rounds he really started coming on. Epic fight either way and I'm sure this rematch will deliver the same, same results too lol just my opinion. Your breakdown really showcases Jon's high level of fight IQ and that is something to appreciate
Alexander "Kryptonite" Gustafsson
Weasle is one of my favorite channels - but we need to get this down to 12 minutes - that's fair
I’ve recently rewatched the fight and in my opinion Jones Won 48-47 some rounds were close but overall Jones is the Winner.. I like Gus and I will be rooting for him but I don’t think he did enough to get a decision win .. reading the comments I think some viewers tend to dismiss kicks as effective strikes or strikes in that matter and Jones landed a lot of kicks thus winning the decision but he was outboxed by Gus no doubt about that ..
I wish you would break down the 2nd fight too !!!! & Why the 2nd fight was so different!
Gus had success in that first fight, but he needs to be way more active in the rematch, like he says he's gonna be and like he was against Glover. And he might get Jon. I like how you pointed out that Jones is effortlessly changing his stance undetected, I noticed that in the DC rematch.
About time
I think jones might knock him out this time, jones is like an information sponge. Beat you once but beat you worse the second time. I'm to hyped for this fight gus has got so much better, gonna be insane!
100% correct sir. Going to be an amazing fight !
Let's hope he is clean..last time they fought it was also before USADA was in the picture
So many questions will be answered
You are basing that off of one rematch? Lmao. Hightly doubt a KO
@@segwolfxviii2919 good for you lool
0:00 Tony Ferguson the type of dude to get pissed off at the crowd during a post fight interview and say: " Are you cheering for me? Are you cheering for me? Fuck you, I fought my fucking ass off"
Weasel, I’ve been a subscriber to you for a long time now, but you really opened my eyes on this one. Thank you for the knowledge. 👍❤️
Are you going to rerelease this video three times with an opposite stance too?
This was insanely bias for jones with false accusatiosn for gus. This was bullshit
Except in all this analysis he never told us why Jones face looked like a character from "the hills have eyes". All this analysis, he keeps mentioning Jones being so great and gus missing and Jones predicting and reading gus BUT never mentions why Jones face was fucked up and he ended up on a stretcher after the fight. Something smells fishy to me about this analysis.
Nice video effects
7 or 6 billion people in the world and only 15 of them are able to beat the goat artem lobov so he can destroy jones

Gus is my favourite fighter who doesnt fight enough.
The brilliance of Jon Jones is how dynamic he is. It’s incredible to see such a long fighter (who utilizes that range perfectly) also be able to fight in close with the best of them. Normally fighters with extremely long arms have trouble trading shots in that dirty boxing range, but Jon throws elbows like a normal fighter throws punches. So you have a fighter who is insane at range, in close, in the clinch, with absolute top notch mma wrestling and takedown defense. He’s so well rounded it’s crazy. On top of that he has a great chin and will not tap to anything. I think we can all agree that D.C is amazing, one of the best fighters to ever do it. And look what Jon did to him. Just shows how incredible he is. All controversy aside. I really, really admire his work in the octagon and I think he is deserving of the GOAT status. Hate him or love him he is damn good at what he does. I’m sure I will receive a lot of hate for this comment because he’s a pretty polarizing figure but I really do think that his fighting skills (notice I did not say his life choices) deserve praise. I’m a huge DC fan but respect where it’s due.
I just saw the fight and it was amazing, but know seeing it broken down, I think Jones won and I can tell Gus was really hurt in the 5th round. Great analysis, I wouldn't be able to appreciate the high level of this two without your job.
I saw this thumbnail and my gut sank for a second thinking I missed the rematch lol...
One question remains: just how many rounds should be in a fight? If we're at the third round and one guy is gassed and the other guy just keeps coming.... just how good is Kevin Lee?
Gus didn't dominate or have Jones in trouble in the 4th round, while Jones had Gus in survival mode until the end of the round.
Close that round was close until the last 0:40 seconds
@@edwardevans9202 yeah Gus was probably winning that round until then
Ok that does nothing the scorecards bruh lmao
@@JL-uq6qe yes, it does. Even with the old rules
Ehh he couldn’t finish, plus people forget Gus effectively negated Jon’s attacks at the end of the round. He had him hurt but he wasn’t in danger mode
Question for a possible future podcast: Do you think president of the UFC, Dana, good for the organization? What problems does he have and what do you think he is good at? Do you think there should be a better "president" for the UFC?
Both guy evolve its gonna b great fight this time
Gave me a heart attack till I read 165. Phew
Why didnt you discuss all of Jones eye pokes and how they played a factor in the fight as well? WEASEL?
Jack Sparrow how? Gus still looked good for that one eye poke. And Gus also hurt Jones’ eye at one point.
@@isaacbarrock8709 yeah Gus poked John for pay back because Jones was gouging his eyes all night
Moron. Jones pokes- Cheating .. Gus pokes - Pay back. Enjoy this sport from a neutral stand point or stfu you worm
Gus does it just as much as Jon does its called using reach I'm not saying it's not cheap but these are the advantages of being a longer fighter that is a big part of their success
If you want to prove that your better than a cheater, the best thing you can do is cheat just as hard.
@ THE WEASEL. Do you think they should take a point from Jones the moment he pokes Gus in the eye the first time? Considering his background with it?
Jones via eyepokes. Gus will never see the same after this fight...
Jones fights defensively with his poke and retreat tactic, where when the opponent comes in on him, he will poke with his lead hand, usually towards the eyes.
I watched this fight again last week. The first time i didnt really know who won because i was relatively new to MMA. And now that i know a shit ton, i still dont have a solid opinion of who won
Jon doesn't beat his opponents with overwhelming power or speed. He beats them with his perfect timing, and his crazy adaptability.
I watched the fight 2 times, the first time I thought Gustafsson won but watching it the second time made me realize how good jones is, he was landing big shots every round and totally outclassed Gus later. Gus caught Jones clean many times but just like you said Gustafssson fought like a sniper
Also I'm not sure if you remember this but do you remember and the fight with him and DC. He specifically said he didn't want a certain referee I think it was big John McCarthy. Do you think it's because McCarthy have something against Jones with the eye pokes or just something else we don't know about??
those "pulsing retreats"
Poke with the lead hand is his special move.
Do you think Jon has a submission advantage over Gus in the rematch should it get to the floor due to Jones saying he fell in love with Jiu Jitsu and has pulled off submissions on high level fighters in the past (Bader, Machida, Belfort, etc)
This is the one we've been waiting on! Great video man. I think Gus won this fight, and I have a feeling he will win the next one. I don't know what it is, just that gut feeling..
The amount of times I’ve watched this fight every new time I watch it I’m convinced jones won more every time people just never seen Jon pushed to his limits and have a close war and thought cause he’s finally took heavy damage it’s a lose
Let’s go!!!
I want Jonny to prove his boxing skills have evolved
I like your videos bro but did you even know this sport back in 2013 when they fought
Thanks and yeah. I watched the fight live.
My prediction for the after math of this fight is Jones Test's positive for roids again or coke and get's suspended and then says it's tainted supplements again.
I pray to the MMA gods this rematch happens with no complications
I personally think Guss won the first fight! This one will be interesting as they are both coming off big breaks, can't wait!
NO You do NOT WIN if you were Literally RUNNING away at a point because your Hurt.
Hopefully GUS will Win fight 2, He can go all 5 now.
@@fightiq2367 But Guss won the first 3 rounds and Jones couldn't finish him
@@Joe_Edits gus definitely did not win the first 3
Jones won the second round
In my opinion
When will you give your prediction for the rematch?
Monday most likely
Nice!! Love your content bro..I am ALWAYS watching your stuff lol keep it up!
First time I watched the fight, I thought Jones surely had lost. The commentary, the bad quality of the streaming website I used on top of the fact that I had never seen Jones in such an even match is what led me to believe he lost. However, after watching the fight again, I realized that Jones easily won rounds 4 and 5. He also could have won round 1 as well as round 3 which were toss-ups. It was close but he won it just barely.
When is your podcast
Same
Saturday
Great breakdown. Most people just say Jones beat Gus by roids. But most people are idiots, so thanks.
people telling me Izzy would whoop Jones need to resort to these types of breakdowns. Jones' IQ in unparalleled and just understands the fight game and is able to adapt plus he has way more tool to beat Izzy than the other way around.
Imo Jones won the first fight (rd 2,4,5) but I think Gus will take the rematch. Jon has been out for longer than Gus and I think 2018 has been a great year for upsets. Gustafsson by 3rd round tko, I've got a feeling
Which really makes you wonder...just how good is Charlie Zellenof....😳
It’s hard to have good foot work when your opponent is oblique kicking the living hell out of your knees.
I thought Gus had more good moments, when he stepped in against the leg kicks in the first two rounds.
Every time he said post, I thought he said poke.
I know its easier said than done, but Gus needs to check kicks and Jones needs to shoot the straight righ hand.
I absolutely love this channel and somehow never have never seen this vid? If he doesn't have Alex as the winner in this fight I'm going to have to unsubscribe.
Reaction at the time:
"wow, Rogan is really giving me the hard sell on this fucking stalemate"
Jones was limping out of the ring he could not walk and he had to be carried out, why you did not speak about Guss kicking game that gave Guss the win.
Always love your work but the way you brought focus to each fighter's body of work and the way you worded things makes it sound like you have a slight Jon Jones bias. Regardless, educational and enjoyable as always
recommendation for better videos: could you use slow motion clips instead of pictures?
You won't find analysts using footage for ufc fights.
check out a channel called mindsmash
Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to get knocked down and win via tko because of his steel chin
Alex now pass his Viking ritual and will summon all the greatest Viking spirits in him, and those spirits need a human sacrifice that will come on December 29 !
Man these guys really look alike. I mean, if Gus got a tan i wouldn't ve able to tell them apart.
Jones is going to enter this fight and just out kickbox Alex and find a TKO round 3 or 4.
Ty Gosketch It was pretty obvious what he was going to do. No reason to enter Boxing Range with Alex and get clipped up like last time. Kick Him from where he cant get punched and then find a finish.
Prophetic
