      (I'm almost sure you said the same thing in the last Usman-Leon as well as in their up coming fight... TWO fights where MOST people say they're "100% sure Leon is not winning" and two which they have very good chances of losing it all, TWO TIMES in a row...)
      In the real world, there are ENDLESS PERMUTATIONS to two elite fighters dancing in the octagon, at the UFC.
      Gan is a true heavy weight, having carried his 250 - 270 mass for decades; he also is quicker than 99.99% of the guy of his mass and height. What he lacks in experience, compared to JJ, he has freshness and a lack of concussions to his brains.
      Nobody has any real idea whether JJ will be able to be like he was at 205, having recently added 35 - 40 pounds to his walking around mass.
      Nobody knows whether he has already exited his prime in MMA... (We all would have known, if he had easily put away 2 actual HW the last 3 years, before fighting Gan, yes...)
      Anyway, Gan could break JJ's tiny lower legs with some hard kicks, while standing, kicks that JJ himself likes to deliver to others at 205. Or Gan could heel hook him on the mat, when JJ takes him down there.
      JJ could try to spin an elbow and be caught with a knee to his liver... Or he could trip and break his ankle like Tom Aspinall...
      Endless permutations.
      But, again, if YOU think Gan has zero chance.... you should borrow tons of money and put it all on JJ, even if you have to put up 5 units to get only 3.5 units back.... after all, it's completely 100% profit!

      it's all story lines. 1st dominant woman with unbelievable multiple 1st round performances in a row.. a poor ass Irish kid with a big mouth, defying all odds and rising to the top as the 1st ever to capture two belts..... Jon Jones, youngest champ, plenty promoted... then: PED enhanced, cocaine issues, party issues, very clear issues with self awareness, personality authenticity questions, spectacular performances and then lucky judges scorecards with lackluster performances. I think the promotion of this athlete is obvious and common sense.
      Now that he's been away for 3 yrs and moving up for a "Challenge".. and having a would be comeback and now "cleaned up"... well, the story pieces are there enough to invest major promo dollars into. Dana REFUSING to push, gtfo - Obviously Daniel C got the call as the company's champ in that weight class because of his image. Now - there is public interest... so its a push. Who you got?

The man has slipped but, this man is the greatest of all time. Look, I'm not the smartest or well-versed person to walk this earth but, this is what I feel. If he wins on Saturday I believe everyone should share this opinion.

      Absolutely disagree. In reality it's very simple: If Jon didn't have this length in his arms and legs he would only be half as good as he is now.

    Min 19:50 After the previous question to which Jon didn't want to give an answer, you can see in him that he is battling his demons and frustration coming into the question about his motivation on fighting. When he stutters about his motivation he is having an inner dialogue with the thoughts that he represses.
    I think Jones isn't a bad fellow, I think he just had bad ways of coping with the fact that people's opinions were too important for him, subconsciously speaking. This promoted a narcissistic personality.

      Nah, he's just trolling, as Dan Hardy said. That said I hope he gets kicked in the head to oblivion, I absolutely despise him.
