A total fighting genius. He wasn't even a white belt in jiu jitsu. Just wrestling. For some reason his mind works with fluid thought, maybe not logic, and that's the cost of his genius.
"fluid" and not logical, not in a disrespectful way (because of his many personal acts and so on), but because of his way of fighting. It flows when it does and it is not so much thinking about what to do. Natural talent. One per decade.
He obviously learned a decent amount of jiu jitsu before this, understands hooks for seatbelt, and gets a kimura. Not just wrestling from the looks of it
Just a skinny nerd begging fighters like Floyd to wear his adverts on their trunks. (Floyd did it for free infamously in the 90s because he felt sorry for him.
as ex high school wrestler,i must say he had some great throws and take down technique. i liked that move when his opponent was walking up his body and he was able to reverse and flip him over by using the opponents arm. i really underestimated his wrestling
You might call that move wrestling but it's more used in bjj, a lock called kimura that can be used in throws and sweeps. Mark Schultz got dq'd though by using this standing in a wrestling tournament I think.
It's a Double Wrist Lock, every wrestlers knows/does it. With DWL the rule is, you're not allowed to bring the arm behind the back, otherwise totally fine. Of course with little modifications, it applies perfectly for submission wrestling as well.
He started from wrestling and was NJCAA All-American, JUCO champion, amongst other championships. He wrestled some really tough world class competitors back in high school / collage. Are you surprised of his wrestling skills? Take a look at his early UFC fights where he simply rag dolls some of the more experienced MMA fighters with his wrestling.
He is born for the sport. An excellent Athlete, only if he was discipline enough with his behaviour, maybe things will not be that bad for him now. Hopefully, we can see him back soon.
@Abben32 No, just a colleague. I was coaching him there, but he is not my student. Doug is world class. That was the fiorst time I have ever seen him submitted I believe. He beat everyone else that day...search his name.
what's crazy is they call this dude "The Professor" and he's 2nd degree black belt and Jon was a white or maybe a no belt and made him look like an amateur...
when you are a superior athlete like on jones sometimes belts do not mean anything. Jones is not amongst the talk as the GOAT of UFC. Thats how great of a natural athlete he is.
Yeah but am sure he was a white belt at that time, (max blue belt and doubt) not only he couldve defend that kimura. But you can tell how he didnt close guard when he could how he didnt go for half guard or use his knees when he could and how he GAVE his back to jones plus he wasnr athletic
Butcher6evil III Just the fact that he's a world champion and arguably the P4P king while I'm sitting here in front of my computer jerking off and eating chips.
Holy shit. I clicked on this to watch Jon Jones wrestle before he was a big star, and thought I recognized the voice of the cameraman! I didn't realize it was you, coach!
Wow man this guy Jon Jones showed up out of no where, submitted your whole club, and then went on to become the greatest fighter of all time. Weird huh?
Jon Jones is truly one of the all time UFC greats, his list of opponents is stuff of legend and he beat them all, competed at the top level, Jon Jones a once in a generation talent, the GOAT 🐐
@@ussambo Yes, he is. Doug just started training with us recently. I just did a few rounds of Randori with him last night! I outweigh him by quite a bit and he definitely hit me with some slick throws.
Just insane limbs. Made it look like a child grappling with an adult because of Jones huge frame. And he grabbed that kimura from so far out... Dude is a beast.
@imacomputer1 They were in Heavyweight. The minimum weight was over 190, but it was open ended and Jon did outweigh Doug by quite a bit as I recall because the minimum weight was pretty low. The weight divisions were: 145, 160, 175, 190, and HWT
If you want to be accurate, the Kimura is ACTUALLY Judo. It's actually named after the Judoka who used the move to beat Grandfather Gracie, founder of Gracie (Brazillian) Jiu Jitsu.
wow, look at that wrestling ability by jon jones, of course he should've kept those two legs in and brought the guy over instead of letting him turn, but jones has a lot of natural ability, especially with those hips.
It also says in the official Grappler's Quest rules, that smashing or hurting your opponents face is illegal. It is also illegal to cover your opponents mouth or use the muffler technique. Look it up.
It's a quite a few big difference in why he defended better? Jones made much improvements to his skills since then and in the video he's not allowed to loosen his opponents up with his fist & elbows.
anyone tell me if they disagree.... first MMA is one of the best sports out there and i am definitely a fanatic, so do not mistake this for hating.... Waqtching this video however shows that the talent pool in MMA is shallow ever... For example, Brock Lesnar won a title after particpating in the sport for under 2 years i believe. Jon Jones 3 years... YOu dont see this in bxing, not saying boxing's better at all just the sport isnt full developed yet.... I say this beacuse
Any body from ☘ have any old clips? I want to see him do a 5 point throw. The southern tier and it's coaches made some extremely tough wrestlers. Now I gotta send my kid to westpoint to get the same coaching.
@@migonzz lmao yeah when I wrestled it was mandatory by the State Athletic Committee wrestlers had to wear white socks...apparently white is the easiest color to be seen...and they do this for hygienic and safety purposes...they don't want you getting a foot fungus or something that could be contagious and it's to help prevent blisters and what not,,,BUT you are correct it doesn't matter how it looks as long you're getting the job done!
***** that also has to do with wrestling though, but i meant more toward the actual submissions. ive met guys so short they couldnt even put me in rubber guard.
Jon Jones fights at 205. One of the heaviest weight classes that's not his fault what about conor McGregor who cuts 30 pounds to make it to 145 and smash midgets
