Scouting Report: Jon Jones UFC285 via LevPisarsky
Can angle off beautifully and is too fast and strong to get to the ground, even for Cormier.Exceptional in the rare instances when he found himself on his back, as he instantly rose to a standing position.Otherworldly in his heyday, with a particularly tight squeeze on his guillotine choke. It is difficult to know yet whether Father Time has left him diminished in this area.Not as suffocating as he used to be in blocking off escapes, as Reyes managed to get up after a time.
However, the other aspects of his grappling have certainly declined. His top control is still quite good but not as smothering as it once was. His takedowns themselves represent the areas of steepest decline. Jones relies too much on his grip, strength and athleticism, with a sloppy, technically flawed shot and clinch wrestling that is not as potent as it used to be. Still, let us not overstate matters. His wrestling still stands out.
