    • @aarr8936
      @aarr8936 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Urbanchuk I get where you're coming from, and clearly Jones is the best we know of, but I don't think it's even fair to compare him with others, considering how many times he's been caught taking steroids. Caught twice, with strong ass steroids. That means he did them at least 2 times, I would bet 4+ cycles, if not many many cycles, seems like a reasonable estimate. (It's possible, too, that his long layoff is because USADA has issued a publicly undisclosed suspension, I've heard they do that now.) Now imagine having GSP or DJ do 3 solid cycles of steroids, in their early 20s. Is Jones still better then? They would be 100-0 lmao. Or even imagine giving Daniel Cormier 3 years to take any steroids he wants before their previous fight. I *doubt* the fight would play out like it did, with the steroid-fueled head kick KO. Unfair to compare Jones's consistent steroid-using legacy to any clean fighter.

      @Urbanchuk jones has an impeccable record against much bigger names, but dj is one of the few people who mastered everything. he can fluidly fight in and out of switch stance. jones cant do that. also i would argue cejudo didnt beat dj. some would argue the lighter guys are more talented in general, thus harder competition, because any athletes at 205 would go into other pro sports.
      both are great but id lead towards dj being a better martial artist. tho jones is obviously a specimen as well.

He won most of his fight so let's say he has a good fight i.q. A couple years ago nobody knew fight i.q. was even thing.

      you can at least gauge a fighter’s fight iq, through their decision making in fights. DJ has always been consistent with his split second choices, shows a variety of setups for his offence, a great understanding of ring generalship and defence. with his we can pretty safely deduce he has high FIGHT iq.

      He didn’t really get cut. They would’ve never cut him. He still had too much value. He was and is in my opinion considered the GOAT of mma and he was number 2 P4P. They made a business trade they thought would really bank them ppv and attraction in Ben Askren who was hyped and DJ was just so skilled and ahead of everyone but lacked the attractiveness to sell. He’s just a blue collar normal dude who likes games and has a family. A great dude. But he didn’t fit what they wanted. But still, they’d never cut him. His skills will keep speaking for themselves and the UFC may see his value again and the people too because the fans didn’t appreciate him like they should’ve the first time around. He was doing amazing things that were talked about for like a weekend because he was at 125 and wasn’t talking trash to his opponents.

    I think Demetrius is honestly one of the most likeable fighters. It's a shame that the UFC didn't know how to properly portray his personality to fans. Glad he's still going strong though.

      That depends on how you look at it. With no Askren, Masvidal doesn't become the draw that he is today. I thought Askren was great for the UFC (in a lot of unique ways), and I never really enjoyed watching DJ fight.

    @WaltPowellEnt 2 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    In my opinion Chito was actually getting out boxed by Dom. He was also losing to Edgar before knocking him out. Chito has insane knock out power in his kicks as well as his punches. He's dangerous, but as far as technique, I don't put in the same category as Demetrious, Dom or Frankie. He has somewhat of a low level fighting style with insane power.

    • @dickheadjohnnybraindamage9751
      @dickheadjohnnybraindamage9751 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      He wasn’t losing per se
      Like from the perspective of rounds and points maybe but he’s still very much engaged when he’s like that he’s using the downtime to study the opponent before planning the right attack, those aren’t random hail Mary’s
      I don’t think it’s low level at all it takes a lot of will and discipline to know timing and patience in a fight

    • @alexandrostheodorou8387
      @alexandrostheodorou8387 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I agree with this statement to the core. You hit it right on the nail. His toughness and ability to bite down on the mouthpiece is almost second to none. It’s a strength over the course of a fight. He’s a savage at heart. But his skills are very basic. He stands out nowhere. A fight between him and someone like Petr Yan would be fun to watch.
