Thanks. Jones is really good at using his length in creating distance. Him stretching his arms which sometimes results to eye pokes and his front kicks to the opponent's knee have been a good weapon in his previous fights. When the opponent gets close, he is also strong in the clinch and also has his trademark front/spinning elbows.
Jon Jones introduced oblique kick to MMA which will hyper extend the opponents knee and hence the opponent will think twice will making an attack, his fight IQ is really high, all the opponents freezes when they enter the cage with him simply because he will not allow the opponent to think, if you look at his past fights you will see when the opponent makes a move forward he will start the attack and that will make the opponent neutralize their attack and that is the brilliance of Jon Jones.
Having said all that, I personally wish he would just take Reyes down, then pound or submit him for another victory. Jones could be losing his chin now because he's also getting older. Just one sweet punch from Reyes could end the fight.
Even in the last fight against Thiago Santos he refused to take the opponent down and finish the fight even when his corner was pleading with him to take him down during the fight, not sure about his mentality on why he wants to beat the opponent on their game and the judges gave him a split decision because of that mentality.
Am I the only guy who wants to see Jones get KO'd out of his wits for once?
I mean it would at least make things more interesting.. (Like Jones to HW)
In the Heavyweight division he might face the real challenge against big punchers like Francis Ngannou and that will be a huge fight or even Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier is a huge challenge in the Heavyweight division.
Actually, the only fighter that I believed before who can do such thing to him is Gustaffsson. In their first fight, Alexander really bring great damage to him but then suddenly a f*cking spinning elbow change the game. What a near miss 
. He has the persona of a Floyd Mayweather, people are going to buy tickets to watch him lose. But as you have sadi 27 have tried and 27 have failed.
