- I went through every UFC champion from Jones to Pantoja and selected the threetoughest matchups for them out of everyone in the division. This doesn't necessarily mean they beat the champion, but would put up a really good fight. Let me know your thoughts
- Sport
Jon Jones biggest fears
1. Tom Aspinall
2. Drug Tests
3. Anti eye poking gloves
4. Wife on steroids
Jon murders Tom every time
@@IemandLol-wc3eq Jon doesn't wanna fight Tom so much he'd rather get arrested 💀
@IemandLol-wc3eq only options Jon got against Tom are eye poking and oblique kicks
@@IemandLol-wc3eqHe does nothing but get knocked out
Drug testing vs jones
Lol
BOOK IT!!!
Jon jones weakness is just life in general
😂SO TRUE
Or Aspinal
His weakness is being the biggest disgraceful cheat in the sports history
@@LomaisundisputedPEDs😅
And fair judges/refs who dont allow him to cheat
Petrino not looking like a threat anymore after that loss to “on paper” Anthony smith.
I think islam and leon are each others toughest test
HOW U FIGURE
I got Leon in that. I wanna see that fight though.
@@seandavis9320damn really I thought except the obvious weight disadvantage it’s islams fight
@@muhammadshuraim6175 Kamaru would’ve been Khabibs hardest fight around 2020-2021 when he retired. Islam beats anyone in 145. I think he beats most people at 170. So Leon being his biggest test makes sense.
@@prodbyLaz for sure but I think Islam takes Leon (and you can’t compare gsp and khabibs position gsp is way better than Leon while skill wise islam is better than khabib)
Including Vitor petrino over Jan blachowicz is wild
vitor is better
Vitor's best wins are over anton turkalji in a close fight and Tyson Pedro. There is absolutely no way you can say Vitor is better with that resume
@@user-tj6cc3yh4y Charles had a way better resume than Islam before their fight and still got destroyed, Resumes don’t matter as much as skills do
@@Gertu_23I agree that skills matter more than resume but have you seen petrino fight.He's a low output striker who mainly depends on his power and his grappling is good but he just isn't that technical.
@@Gertu_23 blud thinks Vitor has better skill set than Jan, this guy couldn't even KO Pedro, genuinely one of the worst takes, I have ever heard.
VOLK SHOULD HAVE ONE TUNE UP FIGHT BEFORE GOING AFTER TOPURIA.. HE NEEDS HIS CONFIDENCE BACK
Put him against Aljo in a contender fight imo
@@BlobsterX Agreed, no KO risk for Volk in that fight.
Aljo or Oretga
Ortegaaaa
What if he loses?
"Dricus has struggled with cardio in the past" we've been saying that for ages, and yet he went five rounds with strickland at a fairly wild pace. Whether you think it was a robbery or not, i think we now know a bad gas tank is not one of is major issues.
5:10 that aged well after ufc 301
Bro did you watch the Almeida vs Blaydes fight? Blaydes was getting completely dominated by a guy 30 lbs lighter than him. The fight was far from “effortless”
No TF he wasn’t 😂
@@Razor_Lettuce he got taken down 8 times in one round and was on his way to losing
Jon would win against Blaydes anyway, even if Blaydes stops the Takedown, Jon is leagues above him in striking.
@@rajyavardhansingh4491Blaydes has good striking and also power in his hands unlike Jones
I I think he puts dumb choices in the video like that just to make it controversial and get people to comment
love your content bro 🙌🏽 always makes for a good watch
Jon jones vs tom aspinall would be such a sick fight
Who’s here after vítor petrino got subbed
Gotta love lionheart
So... O'Malley went life and death with Yan but Yan isn't a top 3 difficult fight for him? Seems legit!
Isn’t it
Let's be real. Sean would piece him up pretty bad. Both men aren't the same since they last fought..
@@persistentlypathetic6820oh, ur DUMB dumb lmfao
I liked that you put some already beaten guys in their toughest matchup. There's a lot of good rematch that could definetly go the other way, like Strickland vs DDP, or Pereira vs Jiri.
Are yall forgetting that jones outwreslted every wrestler he fought, even DC
Yes but it was he's prime era, now he's washed af, so slow and fat
Recency bias i guess, but it's still wild people are treating him like some pushover. With that being said, Jones is past his prime and barely active so Tom has a very good chance at beating him now.
That was 7 years ago. And DC was way out of Prime by then.
@@persistentlypathetic6820 brother that was prime DC
So? He didn't outwrestle dominick reyes or thiago santos..... Were they olympic level wrestlers? No and it doesnt matter because Jon struggles against taller fighters in all facets of mma whether it be striking or grappling. Jon jones is probably going to struggle to outgrapple tom and will probably get KOd on the feet
Keep Up the videos, very original
good job great video agreeed 100.
That Vitor Petrino one did not age well lol
Tom Jones vs jon aspinall for the n word belt (bones wins by elbow knockout)
Pantoja's biggest threat is Brandon Royval as his TD defence is improved and he dominate Pantoja on feet in Ufc 296
Pantoja would whoop his ass anyday
Bro only got ONE list right in order 💀
5:03 aged horribly
Arman with second best wrestling? Did you forget about his fight against Gamrot?
i think KKF is Pantojas toughest matchup, elite boxer with high volume with great takedown defense
0:30 Getting pretty cocky there, Tom
I'd like to see Pereira against a good grappler/wrestler. He out-strikes everyone, but can he survive the heat on the ground?
He did well at defending himself on the ground against Jan. I think he could survive ankalaev on the ground and tear up his legs then finish him tbh
I hate that a Dagestani or DagestanI adjacent is close to a title shot in almost every division
Why?
hoppero the biggest jdm fan on yt
I would love to see Aspinall whip Jon Jones' ass. And if Jon Jones managed to beat him fair and square, I would argue that this would categorically make him unquestionable goat (despite PEDs and the questionable Reyez win). This fight needs to happen
If khamzat gets passed rob he will be a nightmare matchup for anyone in the middleweight division
If you think Arnold Allen has a better chance of beating Topuria than Volk does you’re delusional
I would have said Jan for Alex
Vitor Patrino beating Alex Pereira might be the worst MMA take I have ever heard, so stupid
I'd say Poatan could be a good oponent to Jones xd, he wants to be triple champ no doubt
Finding 3 hard for some decision
Top 1 is really hard, other than that 2,3 pretty easy for chams
Cannonier injured until July
Did anyone tell you aspinall doesn't really like when you do spin moves on it.
I disagree with a lot of these picks aside from Heavyweicht. For me it’d have to be.
LHW:
1. Nikita Krylov, good striking fight IQ and the grappling to hold down Alex or finish him on the ground
2. Magomed Ankalaev, the best wrestler in the division with good kicks but not great fight IQ
3. Aleksandar Rakic, probably the most well rounded 205er with good grappling and fight IQ
I disagree with Jiri, since he holds his hands very low.
For Middleweight I’d have to say
1. Jared
2. Izzy
3. Fluffy Hernandez, it’d be interesting to see how Dricus does against a very tough well rounded guy who can push the pace on him. Since dricus often puts a pace on others)
For welterweight I appreciate you putting JDM at #1 since Leon’s big issue is the jab, and JDM can destroy him with that straight. So I’d have to say,
1. JDM
2. Shavkat (use the straight similarly since I don’t love his takedown entries against someone like Edwards)
3. Belal (jab + good wrestling) so I agree with your welterweight picks.
When it comes to Lightweight I think
1. Arman Tsarukyan
2. Max Holloway (featherweight skill with good ability at keeping space and cardio could conceivably drown Islam even tho I doubt it)
3. Ilia Topuria (could catch Islam but does his worst against wrestlers from what we’ve seen)
And featherweight I think
1. Max Holloway (of course)
2. Movsar Evloev (good wrestler but not enough finishing instinct to really present a threat)
3. Sean O’Malley (weak to body shots and counterable but could give Ilia some issues with his range) I think that Arnold Allen is too chinny to really give Ilia issues.
Then
1. Umar Nurmagomedov (can hang in there on the feet and take O’Malley down with much better finishing instinct than Merab)
2. Sandhagen
3. Merab (just don’t think O’Malley is a good matchup for Merab honestly)
Flyweight I think it’s
1. Steve Erceg (will beat Pantoja IMO)
2. Kape
3. Royval
Oh I guess I would put Islam at #1 for welterweight since I think he beats Leon
@@Moonl55 leon mauls him nightmare matchup
Royval loterallyy lost to pantoja
@@SSeeleyy for what reason? I’ve seen no good arguments to convince me that Leon beats him especially after that last performance. Plus Leon ain’t mauling anybody bro. He hit Colby with like 50 significant strikes after he talked shit on his dead dad.
@@Moonl55 Elite TDD biggest reason why Islam looks so good at LW is because he's a weight bully also very skilled but most of that is just meldonium anyway also Leon's 5 inches taller way longer Legs and a nice 4 inch reach advantage.
Dude ALWAYS finds a way to *Glaze* Aspinall in EVERY VIDEO & I'm here for it Hahhaa !!
🍯💀
I mean who wouldn't 👀
Aspinall deserves it
Aspinall is a beast. Future of the division
He’s not beating jones in 2 rounds tho☠️☠️☠️ this is absurd a guy who is the highest fight iq in history and is undefeated after 2 decades that fight is much closer than people think it’s not a walk in the park for spinal
@@andrewisthisyou2478 Jone has to eyepock
Allen got done dirty against evloev
For Ilia It’s Diego lopes, Ilia flatlines movsar, cooks max, and KOs volk again
16:25 you mean bedtime right?
NO PETR YAN ON THIS LIST IS NUTS
The arnold allen bias is funny
crazy how chandler is #2 biggest threat to the p4p #1 fighter in the world, yet people are still picking conner to beat him
Because he got choked out by Poirier
the JDM pick at number one for Leon is based
JDM is just that guy. Would love to see Shavkat Vs JDM title eliminator
Vitor Petrino just got finished my anthony smith
What about Brian Ortega for Ilia Topuria
Hahahaha topuria would murder him
KO in the first trade
Brian is a great matchup for topuria ilia probably KOs him
Anthony smith take aged like milk
No way he said Mohammed would be tough on Leon Edward’s he is the welterweight weight goat 🐐
I believe Denoit Saint Denis would be a problem against Islam makhachev. I thought he did very well vs Poirier until he got caught. Maybe if he is more defensively sound, he will be a threat to anyone.
Chandler over Charles and Dustin is hilarious😂
Chandler played all the first rounds. He could take every fight, but after the first one he stops thinking.
U forgot to put tuivasa for Jon Jones
I dont think aspinall beats jon as easily as people think he will
Bro is that joey salads in the thumbnail
this dude really said vitor petrino for fkin alex pereira LOOOOL we watched that fraud check
U lost me when u said chandler can beat islam
That Petrino pick was horrible even before UFC 301, should have picked Rountree or Jan
Jon Jones vs Aspinall is 50/50 fight, he runs through blades, and I’d favor him over Pavlovich after Aspinall exposed him
Idk why but i really wanna see Islam Makhachev vs Jack Della Maddalena
I think krylov is a worse matchup for pereira than petrino, and if I were to make a comparison for petrino I think it would be chito, tough as shit, pretty low output, and crazy power
Jared tore his mcl in December 6:44
12:19 - you mean his performance against Arman
kape is #1 for flyweight
Kape 29-28d a debuting fighter that came in on 3 weeks notice, already lost to the champ aswell. He seriously isn't
“Jon Jones scared of Tom Aspinall”😂😂😂😂😂😂
Michael chandlers cardio after the first round 😅
Bro Pereira stomped Proajaska
Strickland should be fighting Cannonier instead of Costa feels like such a pointless fight
Not even joking Anthony smith if he wrestles Peirera might have a chance
Did I just hear micheal chandler
if you think more about it then what the dude is saying is correct.
I just wish leon and islam would fight people (ive given up on jon)
Jones
1. Aspinall
2. Pavlovich
3. Almeida
Pereira
1. Ankalaev
2. Jiri
3. Rakic
DDP
1. Izzy
2. Sean
3. Khamzat
Leon

3. Belal
Islam (I think he’ll retire as champ but wtv)
1. Arman
2. Gaethje
3. Oliveira
Topuria
1. Max
2. Volk
3. Evloev
Sean
1. Merab
2. Cory
3. Umar
Pantoja
1. Mokaev
2. Erceg
3. Kape
You don’t think DDP’s or Edwards’ toughest opponent is Khamzat Chimaev ?
Fax
Khamzat never making 170 ever again
DDP has a decent BJJ so it wouldn't be easy for Khamzat
@@Vonbyrd thats true khamzat is a slob
Was hoping you would say Porier as Nr. 1 for Islam
He put Mike over Dustin 😂
"He knocked out Jonny Walker which is really impressive" 😐
Chandler and Gamrot 😂😂
pantoja will submit erceg at round number 3
Vitor Petrino one did not age well lmao
SUGA is FIGGY DEIVERSON FIGUEIREDO
Where... is... Charles
Michael Chandler says... 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Jones vs UDADA his hardest match 😂
TOPURIA IS DIEGO LOPES
why wasn’t brandon royval on there rawdog just beat moreno
did you see their last fight back in december?
Topuria is a much bigger threat to Islam than Gamrot. And Arnold Allen is no threat to Topuria. And honestly I dont see Topuria vs Holloway being 50-50. Topuria is better in all senses. Not saying holloway is not a threat he is a big threat but it's not fair saying its 50-50. The biggest threat for Ilia is Islam. But still I think Ilia knocks him out. Islam will get knockout sooner or later but that is a fact. We've already seen it once. And you know what happens after you get knocked out once. You just have to find his chin.
PD: I liked the Chandler mention. He is very explosive and unpredictible He could really find his chin and defend well on wrestling.
Jones would destroy aspinall
HOPPERO I'M DEFINITELY GOING WITH YOU ON MAX HOLLOWAY , MAX NOT EVEN IN HIS PRIME YET 2 CHAMPIONSHIP BELT , OVER ALL BEST STRIKER IN DA UFC IO 5 ROUND FIGHTS , AS FOR ILIA JUST DA FEATHER WEIGHT BELT NOTHING ELSE NOT EVEN A 5 ROUND FIGHT UNDER HIS BELT HAVEN'T DEFEND HIS BELT NOT ONE TITLE DEFENSE HES DS ONLY UFC CHAMP WHO DOESN'T HAVE ANY TITLE DEFENSES YET . FOR A GUY LIKE ILIA SURE TALK ALOT OF SHIT NO ACTION .
come on man , blaydes are u serious and who tell u tom finishes jon in 2. everyone said jones would have struggled vs gane and u saw how it went
bro jon jones will just stomp his knees
Excludes the entire Women’s divisions
No one cares about woman’s
where's Jan??? he should be at least 3rd in205
Anyone else here after vitor lost to smith 😅
Vitor take aged like milk
BELALLLL????
You lost me when you put Jack Della and Belal Muhammad over Kamaru Usman who's already beaten him and almost beat him in the second fight until head kick Ko.
cause if leon and usman fought again it would go the exact same as their 3rd fight
False info putting evloev instead Ortega
I would Ian Garry or MVP before Belal
I don’t think Tom can beat Jon. I really like Aspinall, but no.
