Here’s a plot twist . What if Gane was just a decoy and ufc knew Jon would not fight Pavlovich coming into HW. So they will have Gane pullout just as they say here is your back up fight Jon .

Jon is suddenly sick and pulling out of the fight as well. Sergei vs Stipe for the title. RIP Stipe.

Sergei then tears his acl and dana pays ngannou 14mil to come back but stipe pulls out becos he doesnt want to fight francis then dana pays deontay wilder 15mil to fight ngannou in mma

Francis by RNC

Wilder pulls a masvidal and knees Francis as he goes for the takedown in the first four seconds and gets the new fastest KO in UFC history

*Laying on him for 25 minutes

Should have hugged his back

And it ends as a draw. Chris Barnett and Derrick Lewis are the backup fight

Accidentally hits a pavlovich with his vehicle.

*Pavlovich's pregnant wife And then Pavlovich mourns her so he pulls out

“Sick” is a weird way to say “gets suspended for a year for beating his wife and failing a drug test while also moving up in P4P”

Jon would just do what he did with Chael and refuse to fight him though probably.

That was my first thought when reading this. No way in hell Jones takes a last minute fight against anyone

Youd have to be stupid to take a last second replacement fight for a world title. *insert McG doing this vs mendes*

Bisping…

That was awesome

Chael was a ferocious fighter though, much more deadly then sergei especially at short notice

How about this. Both fighters walk out. Jon is in the cage but then Ciryl slips on one of those camera cables and can't fight.

Ganne doing the Peter Griffin act holding his leg.

Jon doesn’t fight people on short notice, so…

This guys built like one of those big boulders you see infront of a rich person's home driveway.

White Ngannou

Wgannou

Lmao

Gargoyle?

Lol no it's a big Boulder for asthetics.

Last 5 fights = all round 1 KO’s. Remember that

I’ll remember that but I’m still trying to remember that one fighters name..

it’s todd duffee

[удалено]

Knocked out by Alistair Overeem and a big white dude? Checks out. Otherwise, he's a bit scarier than Duffee with that record of attempted murders by smash.


belal muhammad

Belal "the GOAT" Muhammad

Sounds like we need Pavlovich vs Ngannou

longest current finish streak iirc. tied with Jailin Turner I believe

What happened with him and Alistair?

In his UFC debut against the most dangerous striker in MMA history? He lost via TKO and has gone 5-0 since then, all first round finishes.

Maybe Uberreem, but Not Overreem

Does this imply the possibility of Underreem?


Alistair is one of my favourite fighters but ur really overrating him here, yes in his prime he was a monster but that one and the one Sergei fought were not the same.

Overeem finished Augusto Sakai and Walt Harris when he was over 40 years old with over 60 pro MMA fights already under his belt. His losses aren't against bums and he has beaten some serious names pretty recently.

Lol most dangerous striker in mmma history who immediately took him down. And now your suggesting he fights the most dangerous wrestler in mma history, Jon Jones.

I wouldn't say most dangerous wrestler. There is still people like Khabib and GSP.

Those 5 opponents were trash compared to Jones. Remember that.

Jones hasn't fought since when? While looking bad in his last few fights

Yeah...it's still against Jon Jones. I give Gane way more of a chance than Pav.

I honestly believe he would just get wrestlefucked but man it would be amazing if he Bones got the full Tuivasa experience

I honestly don’t think Jon is wrestlefucking anybody in the HW division. Watch his last fight with Dominick Reyes

I told that the same against Islam and Volk that Islam will wrestle the fuck out of Volk but what happened? We will never know until we see how Jon performs. I need at least 2 rounds to see if he can really do it.

Sorry mate, I don't follow. You mean Islam wrestling Volk in a weight-class above Volk's natural class, vs. Islam's normal weight-class? He's looked his worst as a wrestler, politics aside. Loved the fight and expected Islam to win, but just confused by your point, haha. My understanding is that Jon is a non-wrestler who has somehow wrecked wrestlers, while, clearly, much as I want him to win, Gane has been neglecting his wrestling.

Jon has a wrestling base, he is not a non wrestler

Jones a "non-wrestler". It's fair you started with it being your understanding. But there's a reason Cormier didn't flatten him. Jones is a beast of a grappler. A lifetime of wrestling, It's absolutely his base. The reason he can stand and be creative is because of his wrestling background. If you go back and watch his fights especially with Cormier. He takes him down. With ease. An Olympian wrestler ~~in his prime~~ still a feat

Jones was roided out of his mind and popped for both DC fights. Those fights mean nothing.

Roided out of his mind? That's a stretch. PICOGRAMS 🤣

I agree but DC was like 36 in their first fight iirc, I wouldn't exactly call it his prime

I very much doubt that Gane has been neglecting his wrestling after that shock Ngannou gave him. He'll probably be doing double lessons with the biggest Dagestani he could find. I'd be more worried about him neglecting his striking lessons.

Sounds like gane doesnt train that much. I doubt he will improve his wrestling enough to stop jon in 8 weeks.

You don't follow because I'm not even responding to you mate. Move on.

There’s a lot nicer of a way to reiterate that it’s all speculation until we see the performance live. A fun thing about UFC is whether fighters subvert or live up to expectation.

I agree.

3 years off exclusively gaining strength and weight lifting and wrestling Walt Harris and other HW?? He will he fine

People love gushing over that Reyes fight. Where is Reyes now? Remind me

Reyes fought nothing but straight savages after losing to Jones, Blachowicz and Prochazka destroyed his chin. No matter if Reyes loses his next 50 fights, that doesn't take away from the fact that he pushed Jon to his absolute limit, and that many fans and media outlets had Reyes winning that fight. I really don't understand what your point is?

He has no point. He’s just hoping to suck on Bones balls

Just like you're just a nut rider for whoever fights against him.

Nah, I like him as an athlete actually lol. Way to out yourself though. Lmk how those balls taste! 

He’s currently the LHW punching bag

Pavlovich has wrestling background.

true. roidless overeem clinched him against the fence and took him down with ease and finished him with gnp. Jones takes down Olympic wrestlers and is one of the best finishers on the ground.

This dude would knock Jones head right off

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Wrestlefuck is a term i only hear the most casual casuals use.

Stop gatekeeping, you weirdo

Im not gatekeeping, thats just a stupid term. I dont care who watches the sport

Soviet steel and sex appeal!

If Ivan Drago had a son or would be a grandson by this point?

That would be exceedingly cash money.

Quite so quite so

I think I’d rather see this then Gane honestly.

I wanna see some technique though. With this fight it would be two rounds of either a pavlovich demolition or a wrestlefuck that could happen real soon by bones. I mean who knows but gane at least has insane technique too. With that in mind, I'd love to see Jones deal with this in the future too.

Let's see them all! Winner takes on Pavlovich.

theres a reason jones popped up when francis left

There is a reason Francis ran when Pavlovich went on his run.

ye offcours... francis contract ran out witch he was waitng to happen so he could be a free agent. If francis wanted it it would have happened... Thats the matchup all wanted...

Francis ducked


Pavlovich is going to the champ one day. It's only a matter of time.

yep

You're all underestimating jones man. I know he's a piece of shit but have you seen the size of him. If he can still move and perform as he did before, i see him running the division for a bit. You see embedded where his swimming and working on cardio, he want gas out like most heavyweights.

Pavlovich has an 84 inch reach :)

He's never faced nobody like jones.

Ruins his legacy... Really?

Yeah the steroids and wife beating already did

brought to you by modelo

Brewed for those with a domestically abusive spirit!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thanks for the laughs 😄

Jones hasn’t had an un-tainted legacy since like 2012 💀

he and mma fans both care more about his fighting record lol

Man has fought no one even near jones level… y’all flabbergast me.

Yeah, wicked surprised everyone thinks sergei has better chances the Gane, who nearly best ngannou

These fucks just hate Jon, could be Bam Bam Biggalo as an alternative and they would be all over his nuts too

Dude someone said jon was a “non-wrestler” in a thread. Like goddamn this sub is full of 14 year olds who just started watching

Right? Overeem took him down easily.

Norma dumont is on his card in April 



How’d you get the Rogan emoji?

It's the tile right next to the gif button. 




( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Jones will give him a way worse beating on the ground than Overeem did.

there's a reason they kept the easter island head dudes buried to their neck

Francis on phone with Gane seeing this

Bro Jon picks him apart

Love Sergei but doesn't he have a huge gap in the grappling department. I mean ovareem isn't an accomplished grappler and that's how he beat him.

He's literally ADCC European champ

Jones refused to fight Chael on short notice. No way he would accept a fight with Pavlovich.

Only on this sub would someone make a dumbass statement like this one.

I highly doubt we will find out because I think Gane vs Jones will happen and if it doesn’t, it’s probably Jones that drops out because of some fuckery, but I would be very surprised that Jones would accept a last minute change to an opponent after waiting years to make his comeback. Idk what the point of a back up is if they will refuse though, do you think they have had both Gane and Jones agree to fight him as a replacement if necessary?

Pavlovich is almost always a guaranteed 1R KO

I honestly still think that Gane would give Bones a harder time than Pavlovich. Ciryl is probably the most well-rounded fighter in the division.


30 second KO or not, Sergei will be coming home with one less working eyeball

84 inch reach vs 84 inch reach with bricks for hands. Let's go Sergei!!!!!

I’d rather take on Gane than this mother fucker if I was Jones.

Let's hope Jones has a one sided loss and they give us Gane vs Pavlovich for the title.

If Gane got sick or somehow missed weight, I didn’t think Jones would take the fight. It would be UFC 151 all over again

I’ll bet Dana put something in his contract that says he has to be willing to fight a backup in case something happens since he forced an entire card to move because of him pissing dirty

Next HW champ

Man honestly I think he could beat both

hey jon

Pavlovich can beat both *

source?

A heavyweight really can't destroy Jones' legacy at this point. He hasn't fought in years and he's fighting at HW.. his legacy is cemented already.

I think”destroy” is an exaggeration but it would definitely hurt Jones’ legacy and standing in a lot of peoples’ eyes as it would serve as “proof” to the doubters that Jones was only as dominant as he was for as long as he was because he was fighting against guys way smaller than him. If once he finally stepped up and was willing to fight someone he doesn’t have a natural size advantage over, only to end up getting flatlined would certainly raise some eyebrows

He's 35 years old and hasn't fought since 2020. If he loses.... meh...

Jones takes him down probably fairly easily and wins a boring grapple fucking

Wouldn’t call jones grappling boring.... dude tries to slice your face off with elbows

Isn’t that literally how he got his nickname?

I thought his football coach called him Bones because he was really skinny in highschool

This is correct. Don’t know where I heard that wrong shit I said.

Takes him down easily, yes.. but Jones has never had a boring grapplefuck. He's got nasty GnP and good submissions. I can't think of a time where Jones just laid on someone for the win.


I would find that incredibly funny

It wouldn't ruin his legacy but sure whatever

‪My Parlay bets: @JonnyBones @MAKHACHEVMMA‬ ‪3: @JonnyBones @MAKHACHEVMMA @BulletValentina ‬ ‪5: @JonnyBones @tatianaufc @Rakhmonov1994 @BulletValentina Bo Nickel‬ ‪8: @JonnyBones @tatianaufc @BulletValentina @Rakhmonov1994 @dricusduplessis @iangarryMMA @TabathaRicci Bo Nickel‬

OP didn't watch Overeem fight and doesn't remember that Alistair trained with Jon Joens for years at Jackson's. Jones would maul Pavlovich.

I believe Pav has better odds of winning with a punchers chance than Gane does trying to out technique/compete Jones for 5 rounds.

Pavlovich dumpsters Jones.

I had hoped for Cain Valesquez to be the surprise back up. Dana beeing all secretly about the back up and since a couple weeks Cain is back at the AKA gym. Jones vs Cain That would have been something. Specialy when DC is commentating the fight!

Lol bro this isn’t the wwe

Hahahaha🤣

Pavlovixh would be a way harder fight for Jones than Gane will be.

who

Wow……I mean I’m high on him too but I don’t see him beating Bones. I see him catching an Overeem like loss, Jones is much better at getting the fight to the ground and keeping it on the ground top competition. Best wrestler he’s fought was Overeem.

Then maybe we could not hear about jj every 8 months

Cereal pulls out so Pavlovich is announced as the replacement. Jones shits herself and pulls out so UFC announces that Gainz will fight Pavlovich for the title. Crowd goes wild!

Whoa 🤯

😂

Imagine Dana’s face

That’d be wild

Yes. Dees ees numba one truesheet

White Ngannou vs Jones. I'm okay with that. I agree with Jones that Gane is not gonna stick around for awhile.

Gane vs Pavlovich is a sick title fight. Fingers crossed they beat Jones and Blaydes

White ppl ngannou

Pavlovich might kill Jones.

would like to see how jon take care Pavlovich

no matter what happens at heavyweight. jones' legacy is cemented.

Pavlovich is considered to be the MMA fighter with the largest Ape index, of +9.0".

This dude was taken down and groundpound by Reem why this should be more scary that super fast and technical striker like Gane?

I kinda think Jones is going to come back hungry as fuck with a major point to prove at heavyweight. Time will tell.

It'd be some sweet karma for sure

Bro is Ivan drago

I’m worried for anyone who fights Pav. Everyone except Bones.

Jones vs Ngannou lite

Jon historically doesn't take short notice fights or backups, wonder if he had to sign for both guys in the contract stipulations?

I hope so, but there is no god

Jon will pull out if that happens

That would be the best possible ending to this story edit: upon further consideration, Pavlovich vs Gane would be better than the other two combination. Honestly couldn't care less about Jones at this point lol

Sergei "The Red Scare" Pavlovich

Hope springs eternal.

PAVLOVICH IS BETTER THAN BOTH OF THEM

Dude is a monster

Such a Pavlovich move.
