In this clip, Michael Jai White talks about the legacy of Jon "Bones" Jones amid his recent UFC 285 victory over Ciryl Gane. The action film star explains why he believes that Jones is the greatest MMA fighter of all time, despite being suspended for steroids for one year back in 2016. As the discussion moves along, Michael shares what it was like to grapple with Jones before revealing that he predicted Jones would go unbeaten when he was a relatively unknown fighter early in his career.

Both Jon and Floyd have insane fight IQ’s
Best fighters ever
floyd even backed up jon at one point he knows wassup
@Jeremiah Joseph Jon Jones yes NOT FLOYD
@@thegreatone9850 Floyd beat 3 generations of boxers
Almeida is better
Francis Ngannou was outwrestling Gane. I don’t know why people thought Gane could hang with Jon lol
Yup
And francis had bad knees
It's Called Promo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Simply to hype up Jones more when he beats him. Just like they’ll hype up Stipe as the greatest HW ever though he’s over 40 and washed now.
Because jones couldnt get dominick reyes' down and he is a lot smaller than gane (and people love to bring up how much size matters).
Jon is in flow state … that’a why he is so calm. He is out of this world.
Steroids will do that for you
He’s a straight up sociopath that is highly skilled in mma that’s why he’s so goood
The look Gane gave Bones as he was walking off 😧 lives rent free in my head😂
Na fr some ppl tried say it was fixed @ first but u can't fake that kinda look
Bruh was shook. He'd never seen a level like that before. Gotta be a very humbling feeling
@@boxout90 that was his first time being finished too in kickboxing or mma
That was me too I knew he was gonna win his wrestling is better than nuganno 😂
Jones fights so nastily. Like those oblique kicks to attack the knees or the eye pokes. He wants to do serious damage. In the case of Gane, I bet Jon was applying pressure right on the Adam’s apple, which is why Gane’s expression was like ‘this mfer legit tried to kill me’ 😳
The best assessment he has given yet! Jon Jones is the best ever! Heavyweights are not as skilled. He won’t lose a heavyweight..
Jones and MJW have the same approach to the combat arts, the only difference is Jon’s makes a living at fighting, while MJW makes a living at acting and now teaching via some pretty good videos streaming! I think that as personalities go MJW has a better character off screen, maybe because at one time he was a street tough! And he has been through a lot of dangerous situations so at some point he had to re-access where he was going and what the hell was he doing with his life, he came to the conclusion that there had to be some big changes in his attitude and approach to his career and life in general! Joh Jones has not quite got to that same place in life!
Love when we give each other props . Thx big bro for showing that
I honestly didn’t think jones would beat gane THAT easily. I always saw gane as mostly a striker though
Why? He's really not that good
@@mauricefears1430… you don’t watch mma at all do you? Gane last 2 fights he lost because he was out grappled. Ngannou just started learning how to grapple and he beat Gane with it
@@mauricefears1430😂😂😂😂😂u don’t watch ufc
@@cipherP9 the fight with gane and francis could have went either way....according to gane he was just surprised by the power of francis...and that's what he struggled with.....but if you heard gane after his interview after the jones fight,,,he considered the jones fight his first real loss and actually didn't consider his fight with francis as a true loss...(basically he's admitting that he had no chance against jones)
@@donovans6472 … Could have went either way? Not really, at first Gane was winning the fight but after Francis started grappling with him, he took over the fight and it was a clear decision.
Peds dont change skill & will
Fax flacko
But they sure asf help 🥴
@@andresc1143 no they don"t Buddy
@@andresc1143 so if I take steriods I’ll become the ufc champion?
@@Spider_Rng wtf? Yes they do they’re literally called Performance Enhancing Drugs lol
His toughest apponent was Daniel Cormier, those two were the best
And he dominated both fights
No that’s cap Reyes and gus
Na, it was Gus and Rayes. He avenged the controversial Gus fight with a pure domination runback. With Rayes, I think he was just bored of the level of competition. People forget, Jones has been dominating and whooping @$$ for damn near 20yrs.
Bruce Lee taught just like this: about how genetic favor should play into a fighter's advantages & fighting style while they should also cover all bases concerning wrestling, submissions/grappling, & striking.
He also taught about how you need to weight train which wasnt normal for real martial artists despite the kung fu films showing the uniquely fake shaolin training(which would only cripple a person in real life).
Weight training was more of a western reality at the time for athletes & especially boxers who at the time were the most athletic concerning cardio & weight training. Bruce mentioned how you need strength for your technique to have any real effect but you also dont want clunky muscle that will slow you down(& as we have since learned will gas you out more so than slow down your strikes).
He said Kareem Abdul Jabar should be able to easily beat him in a street fight via his reach advantages. Jon Jones then is the epitome of the best of all worlds...tall enough to beat the tall guys having mutual strength yet lean enough to not gas out so quickly.
Plus he doesnt waste energy like those who try to mimic Bruce in his films via shuffling from foot to foot(a technique that works better for flyweights & bantamweights like Bruce who shouldnt fear gassing out in a 25 minute fight). Read every Bruce Lee book you can find...the man too was a BRILLIANT THINKER(a self proclaimed philosopher) which was the source of his prowess both in acting & martial arts.
That bone structure quote was deep.
I thought Jones would have a tough time grappling with bigger, wider and stronger guys but he got Gane down with ease. Can’t wait to see the Stipe fight, they are the only 2 guys to KO Daniel Cormier.
He handled Cormier easily. My question is will his chin hold up when he exchanges punches with harder hitting heavy weights
Not a chance. There’s levels to grappling size means nothing
Gane literally has no wrestling or grappling though. a good middle weight would take him down.
Stipes about 40 jones will maul him like he did with gane
@RG_07 he did not handle Cormier easily, Stop the nonsense. The 1st fight he won 3-2 (jones loses rnd 5 he loses the fight) and the 2nd fight he needed steroids. Yall really just be saying anything
Mike made a phenomenal point. You really are fighting just another frame.
Micheal’s right. Heavyweight WILL be easier for Jon. These HW opponents will be slower than the LHW guys; and even though they hit harder, Jon has NEVER had an issue with heavy hitters
Exactly he’s never been rocked once. Not once in all his fights.
It was incredibly impressive, and I already had Jon as the GOAT. But having said that, I do not think beating Gane was terribly impressive. I'm looking forward to the Stipe match 🔥
it wasnt so impressive because of how easily he submitted him not Jones fault Gane was next up in heavyweight
It’s refreshing not seeing u tryna get someone arrested
Been Goat….since the day he threw his first spinning elbow.
9/10 ufc fighters would love to be on VladTv, I don't know what Vlad waiting on.
Jon is the 🐐
Of eyepokes
And
Knee strikes.
Hit and runs
Yea but u kidding if u think he still wouldn't have won those fights
jones isn’t the goat. Lol! Popped twice for PED’s while his opponents tested clean. Also spent his entire career with a height/reach advantage over 95% of his opponents while eye poking and knee kicking.
The turd is trash. But is pushed by certain individuals who run the ufc.
Thank god for everything
jones truly is the goat....after a three year layoff he walked through a threat making it look simple....who else does that after a long layoff......we seen what happened when henry cejudo tried that layoff bit
gsp took 4 years off and won the middleweight championship
If he was truly the goat he would've believed in his self enough not to take steroids 😁 Once you take steroids you're disqualified from the greatest of all time talk, it is what it is. I mean if jon jones is the goat in mma, does that mean barry bonds is the goat in baseball right 😁
@@TheTruth-mv7hmand never pissed hot or beat his wife
@@TheTruth-mv7hmand got all bloodied up and struggled bad against a mid champ in bisping 😂… that’s why he retired immediately after
I need you to interview shadow from 52vtk I swear these two people need to meet each other!! I promise this would be not only a amazing collaboration but interview!! Shawn Prez know I wouldn’t lie! Black Reign!
I knew Jon was the 🐐 when he left Lyoto Machida Face Down Ass up😂😂😂
Mr measurements has the edge!!!!!
i was there for his first fight in elementary school....TK
Bones Jones is the goat
Been watching Vlad for a minute now & this clip made me Subscribe 🫡
I personally thought he lost the Reyes fight. I was rooting for Jon Jones, but i had it 3-2 Reyes. But yeah. The heavyweight division isn't good right now in the UFC.
The reason why they say never leave it in the hands of the judges
How isn’t the heavyweight division good?
@@bigguccidrejones4183 outside of gane and Stipe? Who else is there in the heavy weight division that can challenge Jon Jones? That's why Jon Jones is thinking about retiring after the Stipe Miocic fight unless he gets Francis Ngannou. The heavyweight division isn't stacked like the light weight or welterweight division. There's the Russian dude Sergei and that's literally about it. Everybody else in the heavyweight division are fight night fighters. Guys like Derrick Lewis and Curtis blaydes and Tai Tuivasa. Oh they'll put on a few entertaining fights, but we all know damn well none of them will ever win the belt. I literally had a better chance of winning an NBA title than most of them guys in heavyweight will have at becoming UFC heavyweight champion. 😆
Stipe has 3 defenses after winning his title... If Jones beats Stipe, he's going after his record to become the best Heavyweight of all time as well as the best LHW to ever do it and ride off into the sunset undefeated... yeah, he has the loss from a DQ, but he was destroying Matt... and the ref should of only deducted a point, that ref was the worst one the UFC has ever had to deal with thanks to the athletic commission who puts them in place.
It was also a joke when he said that, he posted later that he was kidding and it won't be his last fight. He did way too much work to only fight twice at a new weight class. He'll go for the record, unless he loses then you'll probably see a rematch and then win or lose he'll walk away
Gustav as well...got ragged by him
Full interview?
Goat on that dope!
People always fall back on “genetics” or “physical attributes” as a reason why an athlete or competitor is successful. That will only take you so far before you have to be a master of your craft and increase your skill level. Jon Jones has done that… Greatest of all time 💯
He actually spelled Michael correctly this clip.
Lmaooooooo
Mayweather and Bones. Two brothers who will arguably go down as the GOATS in their respective combat sports. Reapect.
🔥🔥🔥
dont forget amanda nunes she is still holding two titles at the same time, anderson silva who was the game changer, cris cybrog who might be the best featherweight champion in four leagues of mixed martial arts she got a grand slam champion status, thats tough to do
None of them have been dominant for as ong , defended their title as much as Jones, won his first title against a beast of a veteran and is still the youngest MMA champ ever...it's not even close.
@@badrobotNG jon held it for six years, silva for seven years, cybrog was dominant for ten years and is a grand slam champion that no one else has done, aamanda nunes is still holding two titles this long.

Man i bought beer and wings thinking it was going to be a long fight. No less than a minute or two later The fight is over, respect to one of the goats lol 😂
If Jon beats Stipe he is without question the GOAT and no one will be able to deny it. But I don’t think anyone can beat him right now, Francis vs Jones would be amazing to see though
But even that I can't give him that you act as if he was the only great fighter that has ever step foot in the UFC I can name several fighters I will put a head of Jon Jones
@@flyguy7825 Who?
@@flyguy7825 Ill wait
@@monicamoore8550 who what?
Dosen't need to beat stipe because jones already the goat
No he wasnt exonerated lol. He was suspended for it and had a win taken away.
And why are we acting like steroids don’t mean anything 😂it’s a reason they’re illegal
USADA on each situation said Jones did not intentionally cheat. the same people who caught him after more data with the m3 metabolite, Jones and (other fighters like Mir and Lawlor) were determined to be innocent of cheating. further testing for that specific metabolite has changed because usada has more experience with testing guffaws. the other time usada said jones had a tainted supplement and said he did not intentionally cheat. that's where usada is at with the jones situation.
Lol!! Anyone with an IQ above room temperature knows jones cheated multiple times and took PED’s WHILE his opponents tested clean. USADA was paid by Dana sleaze bag White to come up with a convenient bail out.
I really like Ciryl Gane. Class act. He just had no business in there with JBJ. He looked horrified & paid dearly for it.
I don’t even think he looked horrified. He’s always been extremely passive at the start of fights back peddling. That’s just his style. Go watch any of his other fights. He just met a guy that’s as fast as him with far superior grappling and footwork.
The goat
0:36 THANK YOU!!! That shyt is not going to help you in a fight, nowhere near as much as ppl hype it up to. I've been the shorter kid my whole life and my grandfather was a boxer before WW2, so he taught his sons how to, and us-his grandsons-as well. Up until i was 19, 9 years ago, I was an amateur boxer hoping to go pro and I'll never forget the pep talk my PopPop had with me about a wk out from my first fight. I was scared shytless bcz dude was bigger and stronger than me and PopPop could read me like a book, I could fool most anyone including lucifer but i never could fool him. PopPop slapped the shyt out of my upper spine with them big ass heavy hands of his, lbvs, and said, "boy, you've trained from dawn to dusk for weeks in order to prepare for this fight. I've taught you since you were a toddler how to box and you've been fighting your whole life up until now. That boy being bigger and stronger ain't gon' help him anymore than him being big and strong gon' help the referee. Sonny Liston was twice the size of Muhammad Ali, more experienced, and could knock a mule out with either hand, and Ali was scared of him and thought he was crazy...and he still beat him TWICE. The body of the fighter don't matter no where near, the skill of a fighter." Ever since then when I hear "fighters" talk about other fighters popping for this or that, and using it as an excuse for being defeated. Like DC. Yeah Jon is a junkie and did P.E.Ds but P.E.Ds didn't tell him to trip you up with his left foot when he hit you and had you spinning. Knowing your equilibrium was off and you couldn't find your balance and he beat you. Nor did they make him remember you saying to him to not think he was going to kick you in the head with his left leg and beat you. That was skill. So the excuse of not being able to totally forgive and settle is preposterous to me. If he beat DC in a weight lifting contest, then yeah, that holds significant difference. But it wasn't so it doesn't
Not get'n at you at all, agree with plenty as well as can relate. Although, having been around and seeing plenty of what peds can do, or can't do for that matter, just know that you cannot make chicken salad out of chicken shit!
You're 100% wrong.
just a tip ...when writing so much try to use paragraphs....every few sentence double space....it makes it easier to read.....i'm trying to read your comment but its so bunched together ....i just recall you saying you were the shorter kid.....
If steroids and peds don't help, then why do people take them? Answer that.
I agree with most part of what ur saying but you're going to tell me extra muscle mass his not going to help knock out power?How about stronger legs not going put a little something extra behind them when used?
Jon Jones got the physique of Kareem on Game of Death
Jones is the goat imo. He's never been beat. His loss was due to his own mistake with elbows to the head. I remember when Jones did the standing choke. And put Loyota to sleep with it. SMH I knew then Jones was on a different level FR.
Jones vs Jan B. 🔥
🐐
thanks bruh for making perfect sense about jones, before that clown started talking nonsense about johns build lol!!!!
I still don’t feel like Jon Jones has been properly tested at heavyweight. Hopefully, Stipe will be the man to do that.
💯
The people that talk about steroids constantly are out of shape people that don't train and have never had a fight in their lives. MMA got the worst case of armchair warriors and coaches out of any possible sport.
The people who think steroids don’t matter are people who never competed. It’s banned for a reason my guy
@@Tm33. ong bro thinks he’s up to something
Im not saying ped gives you skills but it makes you stronger and makes you last longer in a fight
@@Tm33. Stop projecting, you don't know the first thing about gear or its impacts on people. There's lots of things that are banned for no reason, that's called an appeal to authority fallacy.
Jon been goat for a while
1:38-2:07
Floyd Mayweather has "the eye of the tiger".
Still hope ciryl can do something...such a embarrassing rough loss
I mean he lost to the goat so it may not be too bad for him
He's still a top contender in the division but he definitely does need to work on his grappling and ground game the Francis fight show his lack of wrestling
Gane doesn’t train in grappling
@@viktorcheng2061 he needs to start
@@viktorcheng2061 if you really think that your crazy. The man was fighting Jon Jones, do you really think he didn’t train in that department? There’s only so much you can get better when you start grappling so late, Jones is just that much better grappling wise.
Didnt jones get beat by reyes, and they created reyes, and there was one or two other fights he should have lost, i dont know if stipe can beat jones,but ngannou has improved alot since the stipe loss, and can knock jones out, i think that would be a tough fight for jones
Vlad out here talking like Jimmy the Greek😂
Jon Jones!!
He knows
Everyone is doing it.
Michael Jai White knows his shit that’s all imma say 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Naw not Really him and Jon Jones are very close friends so obviously he's gonna say that
Casual
I agree that no amount of steroid make a fighter good. The only time you have an advantage with PEDS is when you are fighting among brutes with no fighting IQ, and it all comes down to strength and punch for punch. Just like tigerwood is golf taking peds, no amount of peds can give you the sense of accuracy and distance he had.
or With Neo Armstrong winning the biking world titles, no amount of PEDS can give you the stamina, ok never mind, but yeah, Jon owes his wins to his IQ and hard training more the PEDS
Jones 🐐
We still haven’t seen Jon actually FIGHT at heavyweight though, I’m not hating but all he did was take him down and put pressure on the back of his head until he tapped.
MJW the real deal man. Never underestimate this man . BEAST
Its always odd to me that in MMA 6'4" is talked about like it's super tall. I'm 6'2" which is the average heavyweight height and was just below average on my college team. We had multiple guys who were 6'6"-6'8" 220-230lbs who were scary athletic most of who had 30+ inch verticals and were strong as hell. You guys think its because most guys like that decide to pursue sports like basketball?
Once you start trying to dodge punches you find out pretty quick who is about that life and who isn't.
6"2 is not that tall 6"4 and 6"5 is very tall 6"5 ain't that much difference between 6"8
@@legarianvance69376’2 is taller than 93% of men in America, it’s pretty tall.
Tbh henry fought a defending champ, jon fought a #1 contender
Michael jay White you can him
Like trying to uproot a tree 🌴..... D@MN
MJW admitted that somebody is better than him. He will probably retract that statement in an upcoming interview.
Fedor the goat

Spar against him LOL. Please one video of mfw full contact sparring. He thinks moving around is fighting.
Sergei Pavlovich is going to be his real test, hope Jon doesn’t duck him.
He basically already said he was. Lol! Which doesn’t surprise me. He just wants to beat 41 year old two year rusty Stipe and flap his lips about “See!!! I’m da goat doe!!”

J white calls timing (touch) sparring... Sparring
Jones was tapering off roids and got caught and he needs to feel bigger and stronger than people to have confidence and anyone who knows fighting knows confidence is the key
And John Jones is striking and wrestling are far superior
People call someone the goat every year. You shoukdnt call anybody a GOAT until at least they retire.
bones got caught using peds but it doesnt take away from what he can do.
Jones has the best resume by far but Kabib is the best fighter ever.
i dont agree that bones' natural weight is at HW. He's 6'4 but but he had to work hard to get to HW weight
Well you go weight him and tell us what you find out 😅
Jones had a reach advantage ranging like 4-12in over everyone in LWH. The issue is the massive range of acceptable weight at HW. Simply making heavyweight would be easy. Jones would still sit naturally at HW, he just didn't want to be at a massive deficit against Francis.
@@reggiesenseilifter we're talking about natural weight. Jones had to train a few years hard to get to that weight and he looks skinny fat. lol
@@RosvStudios to get bigger then what he already was bro. Not everyone that is tall and skinny is “light weight”. Everyone has a different body type and just being “big “ or “skinny “ does not always mean they match the weight they’re supposed to. A lot of taller guys do weigh a lot more then most ppl would think and then there are some who are really skinny. I’m 5’10 and almost 200 but im a bodybuilder so im heavier then most guys that should meet their respective weight. We’re not talking out of shape ppl. So that’s why I said Jon is a lot bigger then most ppl give him credit for. Plus he had to get to a weight where he can actually compete with those heavy guys.
Even if he is 230 naturally, he might. He would need to get to 240-245 to be actually able to compete with those guys who are in the high 200’s that are cutting weight. I know that was a lot and it’s hard to explain over this but do you get what I’m saying or am I making any sense at all ?

Khabib is still the Goat. Khabib never took PEDs and absolutely dominated using his Chain wrestling and ground&Pound at a level unprecedented. Jon Jones as great as he is can never equate to the puzzle khabib Nurmagedov that nobody manage to crack.
Vlad Tell MJW Steven Seagal said keep his name out his MFing Mouth
Gane was the best heavyweight striker that moved like a lightweight , well that's proves strikers don't stand a chance bringing striking only when fighting Jon's.
For the people that used to think MJW would stand a chance against Jon Jones, let that Gane fight show as an example of what would really happen. And Gane has better BJJ than MJW as well lol

Thank you he is in the conversation So you can't say Jon Jones is the goat
He's not even top 5
Jones and GSP
when we talk of goats we don't usually consider the guys in the lighter weight........as much as we would like to think it..... no one really considers an undefeated lightweight as the true goat........i think goat talk probably would at least start at middleweight or maybe welterweight.......but the true goat status to me would be the heavyweight .....jones had climbed that mountain...so i could see why he just wants one more big defeat before retiring....so that one big challenge would be stipe..francis or as of now the new generational threat is sergei pavolich and maybe tom aspinal.......
any other fight is just a risk of his dominance with no real reward......at some point he'll lack motivation and slip up against lesser opponents.
Michael Jai White is the king of being a guy that doesn't fight who acts like he knows fighting.
He genuinely believes sparring is fighting. Like he truly truly believes it, mostly because he has never been in a real fight.
His multiple black belts do say he knows fighting. Participating in a sport doesn't set the bar on being knowledgeable about fighting.
This sounds like something a 7 year old thought of just to hate with no prior thought involved to make it make any actual sense. 😂
Who has Michael fought why is he consulted about elite fighters so much?

Sergei I think is gonna beat Jon
F PED’s. JJ is the GOAT
