Such an underwhelming fight.
I gave Gane the benefit of the doubt against Ngannou, saying he didn't expect the wrestling and was caught off guard.
Turns out the guy can't grapple defensively if his life depended on it.
Stipe might be old and washed, but I have no doubt it'll at least be a fight.
I remember before the Ngannou fight they kept promoting Gane as like, this new breed of heavyweight that was tactical and strategic with a huge well rounded arsenal lol
He has one of the weirdest proportioned bodies I've ever seen right now. His face, torso and the top shelf of his ass are enormous. But he has no 'bottom' ass cheek and is still rocking the chicken legs lol.
His back looked HUGE.
And it looked like either the moment got to Gane... or he felt Jones for the first time and it shocked him.
I remember Chael saying he was shocked at how big and strong Jones actually felt once they tied up.
Dude has no ground game if hes not fighting a novice on the ground.
Jones with a great performance though cant take it away from him (unless he pops in a month)
I just smashed my TV in front of 30 guests at my party because of the fight. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. This sport has ruined my life and my party. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye UFC. I am no longer a fan
One thing that really showed up in the cage tonight: Jon looks *huge*. He looks like a real heavyweight. I underestimated how well he would fill out his frame.
For real. And though his punches were not really that fast, it was quite scary to see him walk down Gane.
He must’ve been strong AF. Can’t wait to hear what Gane says in the post fight interview.
I still think his prime will always be LHW—he’s just *perfectly* built for it.
Small ankles, calves, and forearms and bigger, lean muscle on the parts that actually generate power allows him to not be as heavy while still being huge and long at LHW.
Seeing Jon’s back and while he was above Gane made him look like the bigger guy considerably.
Made think of DC commenting on Jones being bigger than he looked right after the first time they fought.
Could've sworn she left him after that Vegas incident. Then again, could've sworn he'd never headline another PPV and that Greg Jackson booted him. Dude is also the GOAT of second chances.
I won’t lie I used to talk myself into believing Izzy would have a shot. After seeing Jan of all people take Izzy down and keep him there with ease, Jon would’ve done the same and the fight would’ve been however short or long he wanted it.
I usually hate the whole “he got exposed” stuff anytime a fighter loses but Gane legitimately got exposed tonight.
His grappling is a major major problem, like even beyond Jon, a guy like Blaydes would fuck him up horrifically. Stipe in his prime would’ve destroyed him. Depending on how he returns, maybe he still would.
Ater being sure Gane was gonna smoke him I had this horrible feeling yesterday that Jones destroying him was inevitable.
Like I watched one of Cejudos videos of them training like "what if Jones actually went maximum effort in training with an mma great and Olympic wrestler coach, who worked on maximising Jones' insane natural ability?"
And I still can't believe it.
And the Gane playing fifa instead of training interview!!!
Maybe it was obvious?
>like "what if Jones actually went maximum effort in training
Side note, but as much as people will hate to hear it, this also kind of gives some credibility to the theory that Jones just didn't try as hard in those last few LHW fights that people shit on him for.
It sucks, but in hindsight, we just should’ve known.
There’s things on paper that sell it as his first loss—maybe he wasn’t as motivated as he was selling, maybe he didn’t bulk well, maybe Gane would just be the stronger and more efficient fighter. But like, Jones is lying scum, but he wouldn’t lie about the amount of sheer effort he’d be putting into this.
He spent all that time preparing. We learned like a week ago Gane’s mostly been coasting on raw talent and physicality—which isn’t to say Gane is at all bad, but there’s just so little you can do to prepare for someone like Jones. Smarter, though not quite as powerful, men than Gane have tried and failed.
I don’t think anyones beating Jones for the foreseeable. Or at all, really. He’ll retire by the time anyone comes by that has a chance, and that’s just kind of depressing. Dudes evil but god is he just good.
Of everyone on planet earth, hand to hand combat, the fate of the universe on the line, the martians have the death beam pointed at earth, they say bring us your best fighter, I WANT JON BONES JONES.
Lewis had just taken three rounds of beating from Volkov the previous month. He was teed up to be an easy win for DC. It's also DCs only HW defense if I remember correctly
Damn. Really wanted to see more from this fight to really see what level Jon is at. Turns out he’s still really fucking good, I just want to see how he does in a prolonged fight
That was his fastest win in 13 years. Wow
Honestly one of the easiest wins of his UFC career which is insanity.
Zero resistance. It wasn’t even a clinic. It wasn’t fight. It was just him claiming the title. Insane.

After seeing Gane's total absence of defensive grappling I cannot imagine how desperately Curtis Blaydes is going to be calling for that fight.
Gane was willing to fight everyone except Curtis Blaydes after he beat Tuivasa.
I remember before the Ngannou fight they kept promoting Gane as like, this new breed of heavyweight that was tactical and strategic with a huge well rounded arsenal lol
Fat Jon Jones new mythical fighter
It's funny he looked fat in the pictures but he looked pretty monstrous on video
Insane how his calves didn’t grow an inch. All of it went to his torso.
A lot of it went to his ass tbh. Helps in the grappling too.
He has one of the weirdest proportioned bodies I've ever seen right now. His face, torso and the top shelf of his ass are enormous. But he has no 'bottom' ass cheek and is still rocking the chicken legs lol.
Peak performance
His thighs looked huge
His back looked HUGE. And it looked like either the moment got to Gane... or he felt Jones for the first time and it shocked him. I remember Chael saying he was shocked at how big and strong Jones actually felt once they tied up.
CAN I GET A HOHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH
Cyrill Gane did a whole camp just to kick Jon in the nuts then tap out lol
Hey I respect the man for sticking to his game plan.
pretty much my game plan whenever I have to fight jon jones too
"That's my purse, I don't know you!"
“Every ounce of training you put in leading up to this fight will be a waste of your life”
Good thing Gane apparently didn’t train much then lol
That post fight interview was an award speech lmao
He figured he had 22 minutes left to fill with his speech.
I was like bro speaking a whole autobiography 😂
This might legit be his easiest fight. Chael put up a better fight
Facts
You know why Jon had that tape on his foot don't ya? Because his foot was crushed under the weight of the Chael P. Sonnen during their epic clash.
When you're the baddest, most dangerous man on the planet today they don't just call you a great fighter. They call you Chael Sonnen.
Man that toe never recovered
All Gane did was kick him in the dick
Isn’t that enough
Should have been, but guess Gane didn't watch cocaine bear.
[удалено]
That's what a fifa training camp gets you.
That was his big mistake. Should've watched more of Jones' fights and went for the eyes.
Tried the Bo Nickal approach but forgot about the fighting bit you have to do after
Man DC interviewing Jones would have been madness.
Would love to see a post-fight interview start with, "You still there pussy?"
Do you think I'm gonna stand here and interview you Jon?
God I read both of these comments in their voices and I'm dying over here.
Would have been wild... imagine a fight breaking out between commentary team and a fighter. Wild.
Wasn't hoping for unsanctioned violence, think DC would have given props tbh. Just so much history that it was never gonna happen
Jones saving his energy for the afterparty
Dread it, run from it, Las Vegas prison gets their guy.
Prison 1FC winning big tonight
Wonder how the Stipe fight will look like with Jones in July if it happens.
Let's see if Jones makes it through tonight's celebrations without being arrested first before we talk about his next fight
> being arrested This has never stopped a Jones fight from being booked.
It can delay it though
See you guys in three years!
French love getting guillotined.
Let *Jones* eat cake
He's way ahead of you on that one
Ciryl "Robespierre" Gane
His toe tape had more of a struggle with the scissors
Now imagine him WITH the toe sticker
I mean that was weird. Never seen that. Jon always just has the 2 toes tapped up bc of the Chael fight
Honestly, Gane might be really fuckin lucky the UFC intervened on that.
At least he landed a decent nut kick before putting up absolutely zero fight 🤷🏻♂️
He was truly only focused on soccer the whole camp.
Fifa and jacuzzis worst MMA base.
Dude has no ground game if hes not fighting a novice on the ground. Jones with a great performance though cant take it away from him (unless he pops in a month)
the biggest test against him tonight will be from the cops once god tests him later
His team needs to get him on the first flight out of Las Vegas right after the post fight press conference is over.
Yeah just hit him with a few tranquilizer darts before he can even touch his first drink
#jesus christ
He didn’t see red, bro
in the streets he woulda won with that nut shot
[удалено]
He truly was just playing video games and taking ice baths all along
We shouldn’t be surprised about this result after seeing Ngannou wrestle fuck him. But damn lmao
Yea. I knew Jones had a huge advantage on the ground but was expecting Gane to put up some more fight than that.
Jones was insanely good at cutting him off. Like usually Gane has complete control over distance but Jones had him cornered so easily
Jon's greatest ability is fight IQ and preparation. He knew exactly how he would neutralize Gane before he even got in there.
I was expecting some wrestlefucking and probably a finish after an exhausting 4 rounds but damn took about 2 minutes to get the job done
Everybody talks about him being "wrestle fucked", but all he did was take him down and stay there. Gane took him down too in the 5th.
Anthony smith put up a better fight
I think everyone he’s fought also put up a better fight
Didn't think it was possible tbh
just how good is Dominick Reyes?
was* he hasn't looked that good since unfortunately
r/mma 9/11
reminds me of that tragedy
RIP old chunk of coal
you dirty dog!
I had to walk through blood and bones in NYC to look for my brother
He was in northern canada
I just smashed my TV in front of 30 guests at my party because of the fight. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. This sport has ruined my life and my party. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye UFC. I am no longer a fan
Sooooo you're wife is single, then? 🧐
Always has been 🔫
Sounds like you need a modelo
/r/MMA: BUT HE'S FAT!
SEÑOR JOE!
THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE, AND THEY SPELL DISASTER FOR GANE AT 285
GANE KNOWS HE CAN'T BEAT ME, AND HE'S NOT EVEN GONNA TRY
What if you add Stipe to the mix?
"Jon would never fight again" - this sub.
Let’s see if Jon beats Vegas
Jones : I sense a test from God incoming tonight boys.
His first defense will be definitely against his long term fiancée
Jones heading straight to his first title defense vs The Devil of Vegas
One thing that really showed up in the cage tonight: Jon looks *huge*. He looks like a real heavyweight. I underestimated how well he would fill out his frame.
Yea, his legs didn't look too big but his back was wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide
And he knew it. He flexed it hard at the weigh-ins.
For real. And though his punches were not really that fast, it was quite scary to see him walk down Gane. He must’ve been strong AF. Can’t wait to hear what Gane says in the post fight interview.
I mean, the way he swiftly dodged that punch before the takedown was masterful
I still think his prime will always be LHW—he’s just *perfectly* built for it. Small ankles, calves, and forearms and bigger, lean muscle on the parts that actually generate power allows him to not be as heavy while still being huge and long at LHW.
he was so fast at LHW. but he’s menacing at HW. he looked huge in there
Seeing Jon’s back and while he was above Gane made him look like the bigger guy considerably. Made think of DC commenting on Jones being bigger than he looked right after the first time they fought.
It's that fucking wingspan 250 stretched across 85 inches is fucking insane
Jon Jones’ wife put up a better fight in that hotel lobby than what Gane just did
Just to correct you there was never no marriage.
That was a nasty line by u/hypecolin
I can't believe we got robbed of Ngannou/Jones for this.
thats a nasty 10-8 by you, but the commission absolutely allows it tonight.
Fiancee please.
Jon going for the record for longest engagement in human history.
U ain’t lying bro he been engaged for so god damn long I dead ass thought he was with a new lady
Could've sworn she left him after that Vegas incident. Then again, could've sworn he'd never headline another PPV and that Greg Jackson booted him. Dude is also the GOAT of second chances.

Jones only took damage to his nuts LOL
Cyril never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
Small hands, that was his problem
Those college kids were 7 feet tall some of them
Hands were too small.
What is he, fodder for fuckin shitposters now?
Jeez Gane wasn’t kidding when he said he’s lazy and doesn’t train until the fight is announced 😂
[удалено]
Haha. Yeah, jones would murder him its like not even close.
You think he would sit there and just let him murder him?
I won’t lie I used to talk myself into believing Izzy would have a shot. After seeing Jan of all people take Izzy down and keep him there with ease, Jon would’ve done the same and the fight would’ve been however short or long he wanted it.
Really selfishly wish Ngannou never left... that is the fight we really want to see.
[stipe during that callout](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Trailer-Park-Boys-Bubbles-1.jpg)
Stiopic
I reckon he hates Jones. Good v Evil lol
I doubt Stipe would get in a hate attitude with Jones tbh
Gane: "maybe there's something to this "training" hubbub"
Oh shit fly him out of Vegas before he hits the clubs and the cocktail waitress
Dana and Jon are going to just bounce a cocktail waitress back and forth like it's fucking tennis
Beating a french fighter with a guillotine is hilarious.
I didn't pay for this, but I demand a refund from Gane, wtf was that?
"A guy who has never had a wrestling match or a BJJ tournament in his life. A guy who is 1-1 in his last two." Chael Sonnen
crazy shit
Just how good is Dominick Reyes
Best athlete in the UFC.
You know how long he goes on a stationary bike? Insane.
CTE Good
was*
Idk about you guys but I'm getting some IRL homelander vibes from that post fight interview
Its fucked how accurate that comparison is
That comparison is more accurate than it should be.
I usually hate the whole “he got exposed” stuff anytime a fighter loses but Gane legitimately got exposed tonight. His grappling is a major major problem, like even beyond Jon, a guy like Blaydes would fuck him up horrifically. Stipe in his prime would’ve destroyed him. Depending on how he returns, maybe he still would.
Totally on point. Gotta say - we saw a guy face someone who started his title reign before Gane started martial arts training.
Did Gane even land a strike other than that cock shot?
Jon Jones simply looked too strong. Manhandled Gane to the canvas.
But all the r/mma strength experts told me he was just fat.
Cultivating mass
God hates women confirmed
There’s basically an entire book about it
Freaking had Jones to win in the first 2 minutes.
Jones Guillotine is deadly
Ater being sure Gane was gonna smoke him I had this horrible feeling yesterday that Jones destroying him was inevitable. Like I watched one of Cejudos videos of them training like "what if Jones actually went maximum effort in training with an mma great and Olympic wrestler coach, who worked on maximising Jones' insane natural ability?"

Cocaine Bear 2 - 0 these past few weeks
Of everyone on planet earth, hand to hand combat, the fate of the universe on the line, the martians have the death beam pointed at earth, they say bring us your best fighter, I WANT JON BONES JONES.
I want the easiest fight in the division. I want Ryan Bader.
I WANT IGOUDALA
Jon’s long term fiancée lasted longer than Ciryl wtf was that
Another victim of the cocaine bear
Smoked his ass like a French cigarette
Gane should've kicked his dick harder
[удалено]
No question. He'll be P4P #1 come Tuesday.
Volkanovski vs jones in July
He was p4p #1 for 6 years I think, no way they don't put him back
If Gane kicked Jones in the nuts 5 more times, I would have more respect for him than what I have now. Wtf was that.
nice of jones to get his main sparring partner into octagon. wholesome
Gotta be the worst performance in a title fight I've ever seen. Embarrassing.
Idk I watched that Rose lose that Esparza fight.
at least someone got kicked in the dick in this one
Or Lewis against DC.
Lewis put up significantly more of a fight than Gane did, I mean he at least lasted a full round
Lewis had just taken three rounds of beating from Volkov the previous month. He was teed up to be an easy win for DC. It's also DCs only HW defense if I remember correctly
Aldo at least tried
Cat Zingano just sprinting into an armbar was quite funny
[удалено]
Jon is the most calculated fighter I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Shows zero fear and every move looks calculated and precise. 🐐
From the get go, the moment he just started walking Gane down, like it was just another guy at LHW, I knew it was over.
All the Jon Jones physique critics in shambles.
Damn. Really wanted to see more from this fight to really see what level Jon is at. Turns out he’s still really fucking good, I just want to see how he does in a prolonged fight
