Forrest vs Jon Jones

Recommended Posts

Hard to call.

Forrest has shown us so many times that he can win any fight but lose any fight as well.

If he can avoid the trip Forrest is probably the best striker Bones has fought (don't want to get into an arguement about Vera the dude has no power in his strikes) so I'd like to see how he handles that. Pretty sure Forrest is also the biggest guy he's fought so I wonder if he will be able to bull him around like he did with everyone else I think Forrest is a better fighter than a lot of people give him credit for it usually just depends on his game plan. Charging at Anderson Silva swinging his arms around was retarded. Throwing leg kicks at Rampage all night was genius.

 

Bones has the most ridiculous reach I've ever seen in mma. He is the Tommy Hearns of mma. Throw in excellent Greco Roman wrestling and GnP and he is very dangerous. He also has a very unorthodox striking style I don't know how Forrest is gonna train for that.

 

Questions need to be answered about both fighters.

Jones by reach in the stand-up, strength in the wrestling, youth, agility, i could keep going...the only way Forrest wins is when Jones takes him down and IF he leaves his arm out like he did with both Vera and Matyushenko. With that said there is NO way i believe Jones would make that mistake against a well rounded sub guy like Forrest

Finally, Decent competition for Jones!

Forrest Griffin is the better striker and submission guy in my opinion... I could see him getting caught by Jones however and I think Jones' gameplan would include some sick takedowns that would leave forrest vulnerable to GNP.. We saw Forrest get destroyed by Rashad on the ground so I dunno... I am on the fence.. like someone else said.. lots of questions will be answered

the other part of this is the fact Forrest is coming off of injury and Jones has been known to injure guys lately, Hamill (shoulder), Vera (face), Vlad would have if Herb Dean had let it go any further...it'd be a tough match-up for Forrest i like the guy but this could end badly for him
