You already know that like minded people like like minded people. The good info is appreciated and of excellent value to us brother. All the best. 'Til next next time' ....
Like he said he studies everyone of his opponents.he watches a few fights of them and not just once but a few times to find is there something that they do repeatedly and what is it that makes them do it ,what makes it trigger when their opponents attack or go into a defense mode.he study's ways to set it up so they go for it so he can counter it to an opening on their defense.ots as hes watching the fight as it already happened and tries to predict the out come of what he sees.he is brilliant at this and being hes such a talented and well skilled fighter.his only real flaws is tbe running away n the hands being low.its been close at times where he could have gotten himself in serous trouble doing such a early taught not to do.if he's ever to lose in a stand up.remember this cuz thats how and why.and it will be horrible for such a way to see this awesome fighter lose to something trainers,himself should everwt continue to be done n for that to even ever be happening.awesome video once again oeace n love to all
haha that's why i like him, he does everything possible to win even if he has to play dirty. he changes it from a sport to a fight. its always a fight some people just don't know.
@@runt6532 he looks like a greek god tho ( no homo ) maybe people think of monsters like Brock Lesnar or Jeff Monson. Very odd perception ... I would give my left nut to look like Bones. Crap ... i dont even care how I would look if I could fight like him :))
@Foot Akh, You think I don't know how contracts work?

What type of disgusting creature do you have to be to even think of that idea?

Jon Jones is by FAR the man with the most raw talent I've seen in almost 25 years of watching this sport. Not the greatest decision maker outside the cage, but that's a story for another time.
No one hardly ever praises jon jones for his heart and mentality. It seems everyone forgets the refusal to tap out where his arm looked like it would break in half. Thank you for the vid bruv.
Anjo Que dude, conor was put into an awkward position where his neck was being cranked, a broken arm isn’t as bad as a broken neck dumbass, I’m not even a conor fan but if a world class grappler was twisting my head around my neck I would tap and so definitely would you. So shut the fuck up about “cono mctapper”
StraightCashHomie did you not watch the fight? He didn’t have his arm wrapped around his neck and choking him dumbass, khabib was twist this mans head, the punishment if conor would’ve endured it and not tapped would’ve been worse than a broken arm, fucking casual trying to talk about the sport, stick to watching highlights on TH-cam because you can’t afford to watch the fights you broke ass bum.
@@feel_the_wrath as nick diaz would put it lots of fighters love doing "spinning shit". I think he means signature move in a slightly different context. like how shoryuken and hadouken are both signature moves of both ryu, ken and akuma. as in a fighter's "combo high damage attack" as if you were in a fighting game.
@@Somalia690 i think it was Alexander Gustafson, but to be honest they don't seem intentional. Thats just what happens in a fight. They blame him for every thing except for amazing skills Imo.
Jon Jones is a combination of exceptional fight i.q., amazing work ethic, superior physical gifts, complete amorality, and a team behind him that enables his less than ethical behavior. This is why he will remain undefeated for a long time.
@@Julian-ke2tg Don't forget that Jon Jones hater can never muster up the strength to tell themselves that even legends like Demetrius Johnson have admitted he's still the GOAT and DC Cormier said Jon Jones would've still beat his ass without steroids.
Turning his insecurities into an acceptance of self is an excellent way for him to clear himself mentally. He doesn't have to maintain a 'perfect' style in order to beat people. It's like he said, the reason he hasn't been beaten it's cause he CAN be beat; acknowledging his human self is why he's so good. Excellent video. Covered many fields MindSmash thank you!
jon was really ahead in this sport , I am studying psychology and I want to work with athletes and I love his work with imagination . For me this is how talent rises from imagination to action
I relate to jon jones so much, my insecurities when I comes to life and martial arts has been my greatest weapon with my rapid progression . Every practice even the little things, I think about what I did wrong and worried if I wasnt working hard enough and researched ways to improve my techniques along with my mentality and it actually helped me improve faster than a lot of people because of how much I critique myself and believing Im not doing enough in training, which is how I stumbled onto this channel and many other martial arts content creators
To see him choke out Machida after getting his ass kicked for the majority of the fight, tells u something about him. What's so crazy is Machida did not tap out. He had to be put down , a true warrior! Respect to both warriors.
That's not respectable when an opponent doesn't tap out!!!!! Your supposed to turn your back to him after$$ no bueno, sorry 😁😎✌ what sub was it?, Hopefully a choke ?
I don’t know..being choked out probably isn’t good for your health, I don’t think it makes you a warrior, just stubborn. “I don’t wear earphones to cancel out the noise when I shoot my guns because I’m a man!” Then you go deaf before forty five. A strange metaphor, but I think you get the idea.
That right there is a full on example is how normal human should look like, and how strongest of the humans in past 100 000 years looked like. Your post modern standards are messing with your brain.
Bro, you're hella smart and insightful in all these breakdowns. I wish I had a coach or trainer like you when I was younger. NFL teams, even college teams have dozens of coaches and staff members spending hours breaking down film. Every major MMA team should have a guy like you putting together highlights to promote fighters and put together breakdown cuts. You not only have down your insightful hunches, but you also find the video copy to back up your eloquent observations.
I'm glad you feel that way, who knows haha maybe someone from the UFC or somewhere else will recruit me if they feel that way aswell. Until then, I'm happy making content for you and everyone else who appreciates my work. Thank you brother.
R4VEN I fully agree, great start to every morning before I tackle my day which includes aggressive people resulting in occasional contact. This is the calm before the storm. TH-cam master.
@XANDER lol for real. Like this is some brilliant original idea lol. He just discovered watching tape of previous fights haha. The difference between a TH-cam video creator vs an actual trainer is that the trainer has an actual fighter that he's responsible for preparing. If he gives that fighter the wrong information it can ruin that fighters career or health. So they're going to use all of their knowledge and experience to help this fighter.
Deep Inside he was an actor but his philosophies helped shaped mma. Do more research on one of the most influential figures in combat sports history before disrespecting him. His “do anything to win” mentality is what Jon focuses on and why he has remained such a dominant fighter. He doesn’t shy from wrestling or even running from a heavy fighter. Bruce lee is respected through out the mma community even today. He wouldn’t be regarded so high if he was only a actor.
@UC1mJCiIJreaSGIUOWTxdJbA Well yeah idk what real fighters you're talking about but all the top dogs at the UFC have plenty of respect for him. Heres the truth about Bruce. He was a genuine martial artist. He wouldn't be able to stand up in the UFC today obviously since he was limited by the culture of his time. However, he was the first person who advocated for the mixing of martial arts styles and deserves a ton of respect for that. Oh, and he gets that respect. Lmfao.
@UC1mJCiIJreaSGIUOWTxdJbA You know whats funny? You can't actually say anything concrete to put him down so you just give some implied racist remark. Midget makes no sense too. There are great small fighters. Demetrious Johnson is one of the UFC GOATs.
Imagine going up against that many legends and never losing to one of them. I don't care about all the bs excuses people make, he is the greatest of all time.
That's true. People only said that the GOAT is not Jon Jones because he got caught multiple times. They know that this man is a fucking freak of nature.
Just because he popped dirty I have GSP ahead of him. If not for that there’d be no question. I’m sorry but being caught using PEDs can’t just be ignored
@@GoGetYourShinebox They found picograms of turinabol in his system. That means they found 1 trillionth of a gram of a banned substance. Or a grain of sand split into 50 millions pieces. So I want to know how that helped him in any way.
@@GoGetYourShinebox yeah I mean it could have been. It’s just so small to cause anything that could help him in the octagon and people use it against him. The USADA test are just so good that they will pick up anything in your system and if it’s a banned substance then you are done for. Tbh it was probably a performance enhancing drug to get his thingy up in bed because he did talk about taking that on the joe rogan podcast
Man thats what its all about. Gettin stoned listening to a guy who tells some ultra fictional fantasy shit about fighting and going to bed with the feeling of having a special acces to the mind of Jon Jones.
@@XxFamousedxX I have to disagree. I used to really like Jones but in recent years I've seen judges unfairly award him as well as a collection of eye pokes that I never realized happened watching the fights live. He just lost to Reyes and it was an obvious 3-2 in favor of Reyes. Still a great and accomplished fighter but not quite the goat.
The oblique kick also changes the angle of the opponent's approach. which gives you the ability to come straight down the pipe. When your opponent is trying to take an outside route to avoid the oblique kick. In turn, it allows you to close the distance slot faster.
@@paulrobinson3534 Don't forget that athletes like Anderson Silva also popped for PEDs during that same era multiple times, and fighters like DC Cormier have also poked eyes during there fights. But I know you're too stupid and too fragile of an ego to admit It, but It's fine there's one things haters like you are good at doing It's crying about Inconsequential shit that doesn't equate to anything about Jons legacy, especially when USADA has already reported that he's not of violation of cheating via low turinobol being found In his system.
You really help me study the mental side of the game, if i am not training i am most likely watching and/or studying some matches. Thanks for what u do, hope you will accomplish every goal you have.
I literally came up with the same explanation few years ago for anxiety as he described it short of the part with fire. but it's crazy cause i didn't know he understood it too. the problem with most people dealing with it is we don't always have one place that the energy has to go to. But it is a super power we can't control.
Thank you for making a video which shows his incredible side Instead of every video that put a massive spotlight on his mistakes, which we all have But nearly none of us have such a big birght light to balance the flaws like his
I dont think he has high fight IQ and never have believed as such, he has a long reach is all He simpley gets more options than other people because he has a longer reach, that doesn't make him smarter it just means he has a natural advantage that almost no one else has Notice how other fighters we hold in similar regard also have long arms (Isreal Adesanya and Anderson Silva) we also say they have high fights IQ really its just comes down to having more tools at your disposal. If one carpenter has better and more various tools than another carpenter it doesnt mean that theyre a better carpenter. It just means they can do a lot more with the extra tools.
The minute he fights someone with similar reach is the moment that he gets real competition. The last Reyes vs Jones fight was so contested not because Reyes is amazing or because Jones got worse, its because for the first time Jones could no longer get away with half the shit he does because he doesnt have the same reach advantage. It was contested because people are soooo infatuated with the idea of a unbeatable fighter they ignore everything else, including the details For the average human, perceptions >reality, its nicer to think that Jones is the best because of high fight IQ, but its obvious why he wins so much, drugs and long arms
reasly dutchmans I think it’s more that the pressure of him being a champ at 23 got to him. We all fall, some more than others. I sympathize with Jones and am hoping he gets shit together.
reasly dutchmans does pretending your opinion is a fact make you feel like you have control in life? Lmao. Just because you gave a pessimistic viewpoint doesn’t mean you’re correct. I’d say that yes he’s got a lengthy anatomy and a drug-filled history, he also most certainly has a high fight iq. Otherwise, anybody that is lengthy and takes drugs could automatically be at the top of mma lol. Or you would at least see all other short fighters out of the mma completely lol. You get the point here?
@@connorhill8530 facts are facts, my opinion is my opinion, you sir are the one that is conflating the two. I never said my opinions are facts I just laid out the details as they are, and explained how I formed my opinion from said facts. Fact- having a greater reach gives you an advantage fact-taking drugs gives you an advantage Fact-Jones has used egregious eyepokes in all but one fight fact-many many people regard Jones as a genius level fighter while ignoring said advantages opinion- people who regard Jones as a genius have conflated having multiple UNIQUEadvantages with having high fight IQ I didnt say he had low fight IQ. I did not say he is a bad fighter. I did not say the fighter with longer reach always wins I said his advantages are being mistaken for high fight IQ. Reread the past comments for confirmation You are dishonestly adding insinuations to my comments. Like I have said in other comments outside here, *NOTHING* is guaranteed in fighting but the advantages/disadvantages DO *MATTER* its dishonest to ignore those facts while claiming he is some kind of genius never heard of before. Keep in mind I have been watching him since his UFC debut, I like his style but not his attitude or general life philosophy. I was on the Jones train since I saw that first DQ loss but I had to get off of it when I took a more objective look at the man and his style
Jons signature and strongest move is always his opponents greatest weakness. Too bad he fucked his legacy up because he was by far the most skilled fighter I have ever seen in 30+ years of MMA
Yeah but Chuck Liddell isn’t a total douche and he didn’t do any hit and runs with his car and run back to get a bag of cash. Jones is just a total jackass. Sure he’s gifted. But he’s just so hard to like as a person. Much harder to like even than Tyson. And I think Tyson had more raw talent anyway.
fantastic. listen to this guy. its not about the techniques its about the mind. the mind in competition is a tricky thing. accept your weakness while acknowledging the limits of your strengths, keeping confident and accepting your vulnerability. a key to life not just competition.
whether you like him or not, he knows and understand his mind so well. the things he does, the relaxing before the fight to kill the anxiety believing he has an excuse if he loses, suffering from anxiety and not only learning to control it, but channel it into success- however you feel about this fighter, he is amazing.
After watching I see why JJ is a beast,looks like he mastered the geometry of the moving body is foot work is on point ,his timing is on point, strikes, kicks, elbows ,submissions, reversals throws ,escapes ,etc. He knows how 2use his entire being as a weapon.......
Jon seems like a very likable guy who is highly intelligent and is often misunderstood. The more I study footage of him, the clearer the picture I get of what kind of man he is. He's always learning and his hard work has/is paying off. I believe he will get better with age.
He's never been a particularly fast fighter. Even back when he was young he was fairly average in terms of speed, he just had excellent timing and was very explosive. He hasn't had the best performances recently and I presume it has more to do with the competition at LHW catching up to him. He is much less explosive now especially with his takedowns, but the timing, strength and skill is still there.
I think Rogan said it best. He said Jon doesn't just know how to be the hammer, Jon can be the nail too. Very rare for a fighter to be elite in both aspects.
Actually, that's a really good explanation for why he has such a history of trouble with PED's. My guess is he is drawn to those to bolster against his anxiety, and to give him every last little advantage he can get. He does not take winning for granted. And, with a lot of anxious types, you find that for them, losing is scarier than death.
"Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the mouth" opponent deduction and observation only gets you so far. I hope he doesn't come up on someone that he cant read.
Why would you be envious of someone who is literally so many levels above you that you can't even stand in the same room as him? Never understood that.
@@finished6267 lol! I've actually never really been in that situation in my entire life , I could elaborate on that of course, but u could understand that mindset if your level was higher possibly??????
ngl Jon Jones is one of the few dudes I'd legit be scared of inside or outside the ring. his fighting style is so unorthodox, it could be used in the streets it you know what I mean.
*claps* This was pure genius WOW! I’m blown away! You nailed it! I used to think long and hard about jon jones and finally one day the answer came. What separates Jon from every other ufc fighter. “ Intelligence and creativity” he has a mind set similar to GSP, GSP was intelligent extremely , wise and a hard worker and they both are martial artist but jon has added creativity to the game. You can imagine how new and crazy it was to see a guy making up moves and borrowing moves using them in fights actually was doing the beginning of jones. But you know what is really interesting before Jose lost and he said this during his peak as champion somebody asked him to what was the greatest skill in ufc to have and he said “I think creativity will be the next thing, the next level, but traditional is also important”
It's why I love games like Monster Hunter or Dark Souls where it is beneficial to learn patterns and behavior while also keeping aware of your surroundings
A lot of people don’t like Jones but I like him just for his mentality and his mindset I like how he uses it to empower himself it’s like he’s in a different state of mind
Damn, I did not expect to be so thoroughly motivated to accomplish my goals. I just wanted to see some technique video but instead I got a framework for success in life.
Your video is beast I love the way your broke him down not to just criticize but to expose the person at the human level and showing why he is better than everyone he fights 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Deep Inside he was an actor but his philosophies helped shaped mma. Do more research on one of the most influential figures in combat sports history before disrespecting him. His “do anything to win” mentality is what Jon focuses on and why he has remained such a dominant fighter. He doesn’t shy from wrestling or even running from a heavy fighter. Bruce lee is respected through out the mma community even today. He wouldn’t be regarded so high if he was only a actor.
@Deep Inside Lmfao it doesn't matter what you think when the best fighters in the world have incredible respect for him. His legacy is secure.
@UC1mJCiIJreaSGIUOWTxdJbA Well yeah idk what real fighters you're talking about but all the top dogs at the UFC have plenty of respect for him. Heres the truth about Bruce.
He was a genuine martial artist. He wouldn't be able to stand up in the UFC today obviously since he was limited by the culture of his time. However, he was the first person who advocated for the mixing of martial arts styles and deserves a ton of respect for that. Oh, and he gets that respect. Lmfao.
@UC1mJCiIJreaSGIUOWTxdJbA You know whats funny? You can't actually say anything concrete to put him down so you just give some implied racist remark. Midget makes no sense too. There are great small fighters. Demetrious Johnson is one of the UFC GOATs.
Imagine going up against that many legends and never losing to one of them. I don't care about all the bs excuses people make, he is the greatest of all time.
That's true. People only said that the GOAT is not Jon Jones because he got caught multiple times. They know that this man is a fucking freak of nature.
Just because he popped dirty I have GSP ahead of him. If not for that there’d be no question. I’m sorry but being caught using PEDs can’t just be ignored
@@GoGetYourShinebox They found picograms of turinabol in his system. That means they found 1 trillionth of a gram of a banned substance. Or a grain of sand split into 50 millions pieces. So I want to know how that helped him in any way.
@@sabian8601 Could have been left over traces from stuff he used to help his recover faster during his training camp
@@GoGetYourShinebox yeah I mean it could have been. It’s just so small to cause anything that could help him in the octagon and people use it against him. The USADA test are just so good that they will pick up anything in your system and if it’s a banned substance then you are done for. Tbh it was probably a performance enhancing drug to get his thingy up in bed because he did talk about taking that on the joe rogan podcast
“I’m gonna write you a stern letter mister” 😂😂😂

Man thats what its all about. Gettin stoned listening to a guy who tells some ultra fictional fantasy shit about fighting and going to bed with the feeling of having a special acces to the mind of Jon Jones.
jon jones biggest threat is himself
Rashan Sankofa my nigga u must got three balls
And drug tests
High Fight IQ and Low Life IQ. He could have been the GOAT of MMA.
He is the greatest of all time, you dont watch mma because you love their life morals,u watch mma to watch people kick ass
@@XxFamousedxX I have to disagree. I used to really like Jones but in recent years I've seen judges unfairly award him as well as a collection of eye pokes that I never realized happened watching the fights live. He just lost to Reyes and it was an obvious 3-2 in favor of Reyes. Still a great and accomplished fighter but not quite the goat.
@Shawn Smith uh huh. Brilliant response! You obviously know your shit. STFU
he’s still up there
@@stanparker9556 He only lost reyes after the longest career on top, he's the best ever whether u like him or not.
The most skilled and complete mma fighter of all time while having one of the highest fight iqs of all time
The oblique kick also changes the angle of the opponent's approach. which gives you the ability to come straight down the pipe. When your opponent is trying to take an outside route to avoid the oblique kick. In turn, it allows you to close the distance slot faster.
Don’t forget the eye pokes 👀
Don't forget an eye poke or two, oh yeah and his arrest record and PED usage...
@@paulrobinson3534 Don't forget that athletes like Anderson Silva also popped for PEDs during that same era multiple times, and fighters like DC Cormier have also poked eyes during there fights.
But I know you're too stupid and too fragile of an ego to admit It, but It's fine there's one things haters like you are good at doing It's crying about Inconsequential shit that doesn't equate to anything about Jons legacy, especially when USADA has already reported that he's not of violation of cheating via low turinobol being found In his system.
You really help me study the mental side of the game, if i am not training i am most likely watching and/or studying some matches. Thanks for what u do, hope you will accomplish every goal you have.
I'm glad I could be of service brother, thank you
im going to write you a stern letter, mister!
hahaha
His biggest weakness is a new fighter with very little film on them
which is why his belt defense is so easy
@@sully8751 Yea, it’s easy beating title contenders every fight
@@polopicasso lol
"He doesn't have one strong move, he has an arsenal adapted specifically to you exploiting your behaviours and signature moves"
exellent video as always brother!
glad you enjoyed brother, thank you
I literally came up with the same explanation few years ago for anxiety as he described it short of the part with fire. but it's crazy cause i didn't know he understood it too. the problem with most people dealing with it is we don't always have one place that the energy has to go to. But it is a super power we can't control.
also it's linked with the adrenaline in your brain so it actually is mentality manifesting physical action
@@MelvinPryor fake lol
“I know i can be beat and thats why I haven’t been beat”

Hahaha usada joke 5 years later from youre comedic genius ..how original 🤮
This is my favorite channel now
Thank you for making a video which shows his incredible side
Instead of every video that put a massive spotlight on his mistakes, which we all have
But nearly none of us have such a big birght light to balance the flaws like his
dont forget us when you got like 10 million subscribers one day lol
never
+1 фром раша
u really better not cuz i am gonna fight u and use all these thing u have thaught us :D
These vids have helped me figure out how my mind works.
Hands down one of the best of all time.
Who’s here after he got another DWI?
I dont think he has high fight IQ and never have believed as such, he has a long reach is all
He simpley gets more options than other people because he has a longer reach, that doesn't make him smarter it just means he has a natural advantage that almost no one else has
Notice how other fighters we hold in similar regard also have long arms (Isreal Adesanya and Anderson Silva) we also say they have high fights IQ
really its just comes down to having more tools at your disposal.
If one carpenter has better and more various tools than another carpenter it doesnt mean that theyre a better carpenter. It just means they can do a lot more with the extra tools.
The minute he fights someone with similar reach is the moment that he gets real competition. The last Reyes vs Jones fight was so contested not because Reyes is amazing or because Jones got worse, its because for the first time Jones could no longer get away with half the shit he does because he doesnt have the same reach advantage.
It was contested because people are soooo infatuated with the idea of a unbeatable fighter they ignore everything else, including the details
For the average human, perceptions >reality, its nicer to think that Jones is the best because of high fight IQ, but its obvious why he wins so much, drugs and long arms
reasly dutchmans I think it’s more that the pressure of him being a champ at 23 got to him. We all fall, some more than others. I sympathize with Jones and am hoping he gets shit together.
reasly dutchmans does pretending your opinion is a fact make you feel like you have control in life? Lmao. Just because you gave a pessimistic viewpoint doesn’t mean you’re correct. I’d say that yes he’s got a lengthy anatomy and a drug-filled history, he also most certainly has a high fight iq. Otherwise, anybody that is lengthy and takes drugs could automatically be at the top of mma lol. Or you would at least see all other short fighters out of the mma completely lol. You get the point here?
@@connorhill8530 facts are facts, my opinion is my opinion, you sir are the one that is conflating the two. I never said my opinions are facts I just laid out the details as they are, and explained how I formed my opinion from said facts.
Fact- having a greater reach gives you an advantage
fact-taking drugs gives you an advantage
Fact-Jones has used egregious eyepokes in all but one fight
fact-many many people regard Jones as a genius level fighter while ignoring said advantages
opinion- people who regard Jones as a genius have conflated having multiple UNIQUEadvantages with having high fight IQ
I didnt say he had low fight IQ.
I did not say he is a bad fighter.
I did not say the fighter with longer reach always wins
I said his advantages are being mistaken for high fight IQ. Reread the past comments for confirmation
You are dishonestly adding insinuations to my comments. Like I have said in other comments outside here, *NOTHING* is guaranteed in fighting but the advantages/disadvantages DO *MATTER*
its dishonest to ignore those facts while claiming he is some kind of genius never heard of before. Keep in mind I have been watching him since his UFC debut, I like his style but not his attitude or general life philosophy.
I was on the Jones train since I saw that first DQ loss but I had to get off of it when I took a more objective look at the man and his style
Jons signature and strongest move is always his opponents greatest weakness. Too bad he fucked his legacy up because he was by far the most skilled fighter I have ever seen in 30+ years of MMA
Well he still is the best fighter in MMA.
Yeah but Chuck Liddell isn’t a total douche and he didn’t do any hit and runs with his car and run back to get a bag of cash. Jones is just a total jackass. Sure he’s gifted. But he’s just so hard to like as a person. Much harder to like even than Tyson. And I think Tyson had more raw talent anyway.
Rashan Sankofa shut your black ass up
Rashan Sankofa race doesn’t have anything to do with this fam. you can take your kufi off now
@Rashan Sankofa introspection
Glad you made a Jon Jones video. I was hoping you would go in depth about his fighting style
215 King o
fantastic. listen to this guy. its not about the techniques its about the mind. the mind in competition is a tricky thing. accept your weakness while acknowledging the limits of your strengths, keeping confident and accepting your vulnerability. a key to life not just competition.
I love the narration so incredible and needed mindsmash is awesome!
The music at the end had my heart racing. Sheer feels. Wow. Thankyou
whether you like him or not, he knows and understand his mind so well. the things he does, the relaxing before the fight to kill the anxiety believing he has an excuse if he loses, suffering from anxiety and not only learning to control it, but channel it into success- however you feel about this fighter, he is amazing.
Amazing mind is all I have to say. Regardless of what path fighters take and choose its always amazing to see the diversety of beasts one can creat.
I agree. That's one of the reasons why I love the UFC and just the fight game in general so much
We all have that capacity Jordan Peterson said.
After watching I see why JJ is a beast,looks like he mastered the geometry of the moving body is foot work is on point ,his timing is on point, strikes, kicks, elbows ,submissions, reversals throws ,escapes ,etc. He knows how 2use his entire being as a weapon.......
That's why his fight with Anderson would have been the greatest fight of all time. Both were unpredictable.
Jones would have beaten silva easily
@@Justwatching-yc1sg kkkkk senta lá Cláudia
@@marioribeiro6632 he would though lol. A young Jon Jones would just take him down
so many haters. none of you understand nor comprehend the heart and work he has put in. mad respect
Pound for pound best fighter on the planet!!
That would be mighty mouse.
MM fights bums lol
mighty doesnt fight skilled fighters. he's a runt who wouldnt fight aldo
Pound for pound best cheater on the planet
jorge campos don't draw conclusions yet
Jon seems like a very likable guy who is highly intelligent and is often misunderstood. The more I study footage of him, the clearer the picture I get of what kind of man he is. He's always learning and his hard work has/is paying off. I believe he will get better with age.
Only time will tell but tbh I have my doubts
he beat the fuck out of his wife how is he misunderstood😭
He rlly has done some f upped stuffed tho
Amazing Dude Bones has taught me the elements.
Great video, man. Impressed to see Bones depicted in this light in a day where many frown upon any recognition of his majesty.
I think he’s so good cause he can keep composure and stay positive in the octagon
Your breakdowns are amazing!!
I'm glad you enjoy my work brother, thank you
Jones at that time was unbeatable.. Now he's a bit slow
True he’s still the best though
@@daekz- thats why he is going up to heavyweight bc they are slower
@@yasin_ucar except Cain Velasquez
He's never been a particularly fast fighter. Even back when he was young he was fairly average in terms of speed, he just had excellent timing and was very explosive. He hasn't had the best performances recently and I presume it has more to do with the competition at LHW catching up to him. He is much less explosive now especially with his takedowns, but the timing, strength and skill is still there.
@Eduardo Babyhands Reyes a SORE LOSER
Jon the eye poker Jones, 😂😂😂 one of my favorites.
This guy has so much to teach. He can be a great teacher one day!
I think Rogan said it best. He said Jon doesn't just know how to be the hammer, Jon can be the nail too. Very rare for a fighter to be elite in both aspects.
Actually, that's a really good explanation for why he has such a history of trouble with PED's. My guess is he is drawn to those to bolster against his anxiety, and to give him every last little advantage he can get. He does not take winning for granted. And, with a lot of anxious types, you find that for them, losing is scarier than death.
"Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the mouth" opponent deduction and observation only gets you so far. I hope he doesn't come up on someone that he cant read.
He prepares ahead for the punch in the mouth!!
Love the videos, the way you deconstruct the mindset of the fighters, really helps me personally fight my own mental battles.
The way you speak in this video is so much better than nowadays.
Anyone can fight like a monster when theyre doing cocaine 🤣🤣🤣
People can hate him or dis him, but they cant deny that he is the GOAT
He is have you played ufc
I hit like for "the dragon ball Z style" 🔥 🔥 🔥
John Jones is a true wrestler. Anyone who’s ever wrestled knows this is the type of heart and mental toughness it takes.
Jon is so good I have to remind myself not be a hater, when I get envious of his badassery.
Why would you be envious of someone who is literally so many levels above you that you can't even stand in the same room as him? Never understood that.
@@finished6267 lol! I've actually never really been in that situation in my entire life , I could elaborate on that of course, but u could understand that mindset if your level was higher possibly??????
@@finished6267 lol!
This channel is extremely underrated.
Excellent video.
glad you enjoyed brother, thank you
“Spatial reasoning is a category of spatial reasoning skills...”
🤔
ngl Jon Jones is one of the few dudes I'd legit be scared of inside or outside the ring. his fighting style is so unorthodox, it could be used in the streets it you know what I mean.
2020 classic 🔥🔥🔥 thank you mindsmash!!!!!
*claps* This was pure genius WOW! I’m blown away! You nailed it!
I used to think long and hard about jon jones and finally one day the answer came.
What separates Jon from every other ufc fighter. “ Intelligence and creativity” he has a mind set similar to GSP, GSP was intelligent extremely , wise and a hard worker and they both are martial artist but jon has added creativity to the game. You can imagine how new and crazy it was to see a guy making up moves and borrowing moves using them in fights actually was doing the beginning of jones.
But you know what is really interesting before Jose lost and he said this during his peak as champion somebody asked him to what was the greatest skill in ufc to have and he said “I think creativity will be the next thing, the next level, but traditional is also important”
"Hey Jon where were you at practice today?" Jon- "shooting secret sauce and talking about hard work... hrrrm huh I mean visualizing"
It's why I love games like Monster Hunter or Dark Souls where it is beneficial to learn patterns and behavior while also keeping aware of your surroundings
monster hunter is a great game
You don’t always have time to study your opponent’s in real life.
If only they go blind once you break a monster's face
*laughs in bow*
Not just fight IQ. He is able to physically implement and change a whole game plan on a whim.
Your videos are always insightful, mind-opening and brings forth blessed awareness. Thanks MindSmash
A lot of people don’t like Jones but I like him just for his mentality and his mindset I like how he uses it to empower himself it’s like he’s in a different state of mind
Damn, I did not expect to be so thoroughly motivated to accomplish my goals. I just wanted to see some technique video but instead I got a framework for success in life.
I'm gonna write you a stern letter mr! lol
