It’s refreshing to actually hear DC give Jon his credit.

I love that Jones is already playing mind games purposely calling Cyril “cereal”

Jon not rushing to bulk up means that he's used to carrying around the weight. When it's fight time it won't feel weird for him. He'll be rusty for the 1st round possibly. But when his instincts kick in and he sees a hole in Gane's Armour. It's game over. IMO you'd have to almost kill Jon in the octagon to beat him. He doesn't want to lose. To you it's just a fight, to him: it's his destiny.

when GSP says "you're arguably one of the greatest of all time" you got to be something special

I feel like Jon has been practicing so much that he is going to be just as fast as a heavyweight and absolutely dominate!!!

If Jon wins this, I think there is no one in the UFC that can stop him.

Izzy waiting to tweet if jon looses 🤣

The question is how will Jon react when he takes hits from a heavy weight? Will he cope with that kind of power?

Nice compilation, I enjoyed it!

Well done piece!

Thanks for the video, MMA GLOBAL

i was waiting for this 🔥

“Jon didn’t have power at 205.” Kind of ironic coming from a guy who said that Jon killed the nerves in his stomach where he kicked him and he couldn’t feel anything for years. And that’s also the same guy that was tossing around dc like a sack of potatoes.

Lmao Dana with the Ali comparison... as if Ali didn't have Parkinson's

Listening to this video is.... Like watching the evening news

flying out to vegas to see this can’t wait!!

Gane: I wasn't focused on Francis wrestling, only his striking so he out wrestled me. After jones fight Gane: I wasn't focused on Jon's striking, only his wrestling, so he out struck me

I think people seem to forget that John Jones has already felt heavyweight power. We gotta remember that he fought DC three times and DC, even in light heavyweight, had heavy weight power, and he survived it.

I love watching Gane fight because he moves very well. Having said that, unless Jones has some crazy ring rust to stiffle him, I don't think Gane will be able to do much against him. I expect Gane to try and KO him as early as possible because the longer the fight goes on the more Jones will adapt to whatever he is doing. I think Gane's best chance is to KO Jones as early as possible but I accept that I could be totally wrong. I am rooting for Gane.

No idea about this fight, but really love hearing Jones repeatedly saying "Cereal Gain"

another W vid keep goin

gotta love cormier for giving jon love. i wish jon would give him some love back..... :(

People forget that Jones style is demoralizing opponents by either beating them in their strengths or going toe to toe. DC wrestling, Gustafson striking, Reyes Striking, the list goes on.

That was the greatest funnest pre fight interview ever!!!

Daniel cormier you are a good guy and you're honest you're awesome and you have a big heart

I think he's going to fizzle completely out

Watching this will be tough for the MMA world.

UFC always make sure their golden fighters are taken care of and get belts. They never have to fight up the ranks for a title fight. Just fight for belts. Jones has never fought heavyweight but gets to fight for the belt his first fight.

If you think Jon Jones will be underprepared for the biggest fight of his career or you think he doesn’t know what he’s in for, then you don’t know who that man is. This is the greatest fighter we have ever been blessed to see with the highest fight IQ. He knows what he is heading into and we all know what Jones is like when the pressure is on him. Whether you like him or hate him, he’s the best ever. He knows what to do to win a fight. As DC said, he’s limited himself for far too long. He will show the best version of himself and he will surprise everyone with how good he will be.

"John has put on the weight naturally..." According to Dana White, in this video.

Jon said “I’ve studied Ciryl a lot” but then immediately goes on to saying his last name incorrectly 😂

John Jones fight IQ, is at the top of the game . He has the ability to use every thing as his weapon, kicks , elbows, slaps , sweeps , grappling you name it , he has used everything to his advantage while stalking and tearing down his opponent thats how he comes at every one he fights , he also has that unique unconventional approach, crawling like a spider waiting to pounce . Thats what makes him scary , its his ability to do off the wall tactics. Ill say this, Francis is my personal favorite of all time fighter. Hands down. But i look forward to John Jones next. He has been in the business a long time and deserves this title shot .

Bobby Knuckles nailed it.

Jon is not a "wild man", he's just an extraordinary, elite fighter. THE.. elite, of the elites. When he's properly challenged, he gets excited, hungry, and passionate to fight. That's when Jon's a ferocious, yet technically masterful, monster in the octagon. Unfortunately, Jon's hunger/passion cooled off YEARS ago, due to the fact that he'd climbed to the top so f'ing easily; and, he defended his belt so easily for so many GD years in a row. That's why doing things like partying, n doing coke (the night before a World Title fight), against the number one contender in the world, etc, was normal to Jon. This became like an ordinary job for him. Just another day in the office. This is why he lost his passion, n his hunger that made him salivate over. It was just too easy, n boring. He began to fight, only from the mind. Strictly technical. But, the thing that made Jon so dangerous, and so incredibly talented in the first place, was his love for it. His competitive spirit. Thus, this is why, imo, Jon is going to RagDoll opponents in the octagon, like we've never seen him do before. Because Jon is going to be excited to fight. With his new body it'll present new challenges and new opportunities. New abilities, strengths, n weaknesses, which Jon will love learning how to utilize with efficiency and effectiveness. Imo, Jon's going to tear through HW's with absolute ferocity. And, then UFC will offer Ngannou a fat sacrificial lamb, retirement check, to cement Jon's daminance and legacy. And, if Hill is still chopping down everyone in the LHW division, then Jon will probably fight him eventually too, and then retire after beating him (unless, there is a new, very, very special phenom in midst (LHW or HW). This is the truth about Jon. It has ZERO to do with a "wild man" in Jon. It has everything to do with the passion and hunger inside of Jon, which is driven by competitiveness. #Worthy Challenges

People are sleeping on Gane. He is gonna shock the world.. there's weight classes for reason.

the GOAT Jon Jones

"I've studdied Cereal Gain a lot" 🤣😆🤣😆

Just like George said "he's jon Jones"

Cyril is my favorite fighter, I hope he trains his takedown defence heavily. As for Jon jones, he's amazing but he hasn't looked that dominant in his last few fights, hasn't fought for 3 years, and has never fought someone like Cyril gane who is huge and powerful and very skilled.

I assume Jones is going to try and wrestle Gane which I bet Gane is expecting too. I don’t think Gane was expecting wrestling from Francis and plus Gane now knows he has a hole in his game he needs to fix like Francis had against Stipe in the first fight and he corrected it the second time around

"Cereal." I literally laughed out loud.

It should be Jon Jones at the end....but no matter how good you are, 3 years lay off along with weight increase will slow ur movements down....a guy like Ciryl Gane is such a dangerous match up coz he can grapple but Vs Francis, he was more into the KO power of Francis that he didn't really care about grappling.....unlike Francis, Gane won't hesitate getting into range of Jones......its a dangerous game for Jones

I feel like both fighters are technically “slow” starters, I’m really interested in seeing round 4-5

I'm a flawed person. I don't give a fuck about Jon Jones' past; let the best man win! I'm pumped. Jon Jones is obviously a legend and goat material but still gone is going to be one of his toughest tests. I love this sport.

Can’t wait for the Goat to come back.

"Doing it properly..." haha

Beautifull to see everyone underestimate gane. And new!

Gonna be crazy

I love how Jon is still calling him ‘cereal gain’

I hope one day we can watch Jones fight Pereira & Pavlovich

I think this will be like Jones vs Gus 2. Jon is gonna get Gane down and finish it before the championship rounds.

I don’t think jones is going to beat Cyril I see Cyril winning

The best to ever do it !

Man, they completely understimated Gane here.

Gsp took 3 yrs off come back a weight class up and look great and jon is on that level

Jon always rises to the occasion tbh. Only person that can beat him is him and it’s been proven

3:00- "He's arguably the best fighter of all time". No, Georges. That would be you; The GOAT

No questions he is still the greatest of all time

I feel like this will be Jones first loss to early maybe needs a warm up fight in my opinion

Ppl talking about Jon being slower cause he’s bigger, they don’t have a clue. I ran a 4:38 in the 40 yard dash @157lbs at age 16 on the football field. I trained hard over the years made it to 234lbs and still ran a 4:38 at 234lbs. Let’s be real here if you haven’t done it yourself save your opinion and let’s those who have done the work over years speak on it. I’m 38 now weigh 194lbs and run a 4:37 in the 40 even after having my Achilles tendon surgically repaired. I train Bjj still and still have every bit of my speed plus a bit more with an amount of ridiculous power.

Flying knee from Jones is insane his got lot of agility can move really fast very creative fighter

John is going to get a reality check.

Where are the subtitles when Stipe talks?😅

I don't think stipe had any chance now , i always wanted Gane to fight Jon more then Francis....and thankfully it's against him....if jon defeats Gane then it's like defeating stipe or Francis....

How can ppl think Jon is gonna go in there n totally dominate him on the ground? Last fight he had, he got out struck n could barely take the guy " Dominic" down. Gane is literally 30 lbs bigger of muscle. Francis also didn't have one leg, if he did there's no way he would have stepped in there. Ppl sleeping on Ciryl.

I hope Cyril Gane is working on his wrestling especially the defense

I think it’s safe to say Jon Jones confidence is not in question 😂

What do you think Miocic???? Bradadadrabarabbbashalarghhh!!!!!! OK thank Stippe...!!!!!!

Cereal gain

Rob Whittaker had the best take... Jones is an elite wrestler who is built like the perfect fighter. Easy work

Jones should be the favorite but if comes out like he did against Reyes who he couldn't take down with ease it's gonna be night night

Huge fan of Jon Jones and I do think he will win just style-wise he couldn't have picked a harder fight

Cereal Gain ~JJ

To address Bisbing’s comment, no Cyril Gane is actually not bigger than Jon Jones. They are the same height and Jones will likely outweigh him on fight night. Much more importantly, Jones has the longest reach in the UFC and uses it exceptionally well.

Old fight fan here. Boxing - when Benitez was beaten by Leonard he went up to middleweight - he got a bout with a contender,Hamsho - and I knew what Hamsho was all about. Benitez was a great,textbook,fighter - Hamsho was a mauler,a dirty fighter,and strong. Even Hagler had to get rough with him to defeat him. I told people who thought Benitez would easily win that I knew exactly what was going to happen - that Hamsho was going to get a hold of this highly skilled,smaller,opponent, that he was going to muscle him into a corner and beat him. That is what happened. Gane could do the same - and should do the same - but I don't know Gane. If he has the violence in him,as did Hamsho,he will get it done.

¡Vaya Cyril!

I would have really liked to see ngannou vrs jones I think Francis may have beat him but they are such different style fighters it's hard to judge how it would go I think jones would get him to ground eventually but if Francis hits him clean he's done could go either way however Jones is the goat reguadless he's just rediculous level of talent

Can't wait to see JJ fight someone that's nearly his size for the first time

jones "might"lose a match in heavyweight...if he does it will not tarnish his legacy,,,,BUT what will tarnish his legacy is how he accepts and moves forward for that possible loss. he must not be like izzy(whom i really favour) he must acknowledge that perfection means perfecting your imperfections. he nearly lost to Reyes because he was way too comfortable with his Gift. Usman and Izzy as well as McGregor lost their status because of being comfortable with their height of success. i like the fear in Jons mind because it is what makes him the best at being the John Wick of UFC but if its just him pretending to be humble he will definately be humbled by Gane

My prediction is R.I.P. to cyril gaine's legs. Tko in the 3rd or 4th round

not n expert by any means but Jones "spindly" legs look like they might be a weak spot at heavy weight IMO i.e. of Gane can get some decent leg kicks it could be a deciding factor in how the fight goes

Is Jon pronouncing Cryls Last name improperly on purpose because I thought Cryl last name is not pronounced like "LANE, GAME, SAME, GAIN etc" AM I wrong 🤔?

I feel like people are heavily underestimating gane

It's not abnormal to hear fighters that got their asses whipped, to root for the opponent they lost too. It sort of vindicates them as to their relevance. They can still believe they could have beat those fighters when they lose to the same fighter.

If DC says going to HW and competing isn't that risky, I'll take his word.

Jones has had 3 years to adjust to being a heavyweight so that shouldn't even be a question.....

His wrestling is the only reason he will be the favorite for this fight. He can out wrestle anyone in the world

Who is this Cereal Gane that Jon Jones is fighting? Lol.

theres no way ciryls take down defense can become world beater levels or on par with jons without a proper background such as Khabibs, DC, or Jones'

I think jones should've stopped at 225- 230. He needs his movement. It very well might hurt him if he stays standing

Ciryl gan led kicks from he'll when he lands in your body and any were else you there's trying to act like you didn't feel it because you can see how much it hurt you and he has great elbows pin point landing his hits legs or hands just look out for John Jones eye poke

Jones should not take Cyril for granted! He is a natural heavy Weight, big, very solid, moves really well, punches fast and utilizes his feet very well and can strike with a lot of power kicks. Jones is good as well, only clear advantage is wresting and years of experience! To me it’s a 50-50 fight

subtitles should appear when Stipe starts talking...

Not sure how you bet against Bones

The first time Cyril 💥 blasts into his skinny calf’s Jones will crumble fast afterwards. It’s going to be a sad day in MMA.

Stipe made a good point when he said “rgrane rones ghan flargth”

Hardly understood a word stipe said lmao😂

This fight will most likely go all rounds. The two fighters have their own qualities and both very careful in their preparation. It will be a real tactical striking match especially with no hard feelings from both ends. It might end with jones or gane. It could go either way. But most likely all rounds and a split decision.

Dana white “he put the weight on naturally” hahahahaaha fuck that was funny

he never loose in his career
