His bones just look sharper than normal people bones


hungfit123

Just stupid lanky and actually built the long lean muscle to compliment it instead of trying to bulk up by putting on whatever he could. You can tell his body was crafted by his kickboxing training and maybe even his mechanic days. My brother is a mechanic and is built the same way and stupid athletic. Been trying to get him into training mma for the past two years but he has other shit going on, we both did kickboxing for 10+ years. Sadly I didn’t get the same body type. I got a wider frame and a longer torso. Fucking genetics man. My brother basically looks like a 2 inch shorter Alex and is stupidly lean no matter how much he eats.


CryptoCracko

Well, atleast you look like Paulo Costa


SkiHoncho

Tony would like a word. 🕶 & 🔪


yoyoyowhoisthis

Send him to Dagestan for half a year and then you have my money on the most terrifying human alive, something similar to patient ngannou, but with one of the best kickboxing skills in history


RUobiekabie

This is my thought exactly. It's such a shame that he's coming to MMA so old. 6 months with Khabib and his crew and he is one bad motherfucker.


e4rthtraveler

I mean, he trains with Glover..............


Armadillo-Middle

As long as Jones is still around mate it’s hard to have a prediction


yoyoyowhoisthis

you put alex on the picograms, let him hide under the octagon from USADA and his left hook will legit mold into left bazooka


PerfectlySplendid

alleged imminent beneficial chubby boast rainstorm fertile dam imagine dazzling *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


yoyoyowhoisthis

Legit, imagine if he showed with Gyno like Izzy, he would be 10-0 against him


XMRLover

When was the last TKO or KO jones had? Hell, besides Gane, when was the last fight he had where people didn’t go “are we sure he won that?”


InactiveBronson

If I was a similarly skilled fighter (and similarly large), I’d find pereira scarier because of his touch of death. But, if it was just me as I am now going up against either Pereira or Jones, I’d be more scared against Jones because I think Pereira would go easier on me while I feel Jones wouldn’t hesitate to destroy me. I feel like I’d be more likely to be injured badly by Jones for sure


MrLionOtterBearClown

100% jones is a scumbag. I’d rather be knockout than need surgery on both my knees.


chrism22_22

And blind from eye pokes


NickAssassins

Pereira never hits when he thinks the other fighter is done. At least we would survive...


EducationalCreme9044

So besides his last fight? Ignore the 2 before that and it's pure domination for 10 years. I don't get how people don't get this, but Jones at the point he was fighting guys like Dominick Reyes, did not feel the fear or motivation to try, as he has literally beaten the best of the best for 10 years, monster after monster... All of his past fights were household names which if they never met JJ could all be on the GOAT list (and some arguably still are). So if you were in his position, how afraid and motivated would you be to fight some skinny guy who got some hype recently but ultimately is nowhere near as good as your last 15 opponents? Like at that point you're probably quite bored. And hell, even if you loose, that's a fighter 4 generations after you and you're already undisputed GOAT status, you're way overdue for passing the torch. Meanwhile for Dominick that's literally the most important fight of his life against the best opponent he is ever going to face, the fight that is going to entirely define his trajectory and either make him into a millionaire or a forgettable bum. Then JJ moves to heavyweight for the first time and is facing a natural heavyweight that "moves like a welterweight", and people actually doubt you this time. You doubt yourself. Of-course you perform, and it's a wrap before it even begins as Gane was loosing the stand-up too lol.


velocity55

Lmao this is such a bad take. “Besides literally his most recent fight, when was the last time he finished an opponent convincingly?”


itsyaboigreg

Jones isn’t the scariest in the octagon though. If my fav fighter goes up against him you assume he loses but you’re not scared for him.


EducationalCreme9044

As the opponent? Yes you are. Because that's the guy that outstrikes the best strikers, outwrestlers the best wrestlers and submits the best grapplers. Generally fighters, especially at HW have clear weaknesses, so as the opponent you can always project a safe space of "if anything goes wrong, I always have X advantage to lean on". But with Jones Jones, you just straight up have to be better, and you're about to find out. I don't think fighters at as high a level as the UFC get "scared" by anything but loss.


Die-rector

nah not me. id finish him in the 1st tbh


CPbear89

Jones will retire before he has to face Aspinal. Aspinal is younger faster and more skilled. Would have his number. Don’t think it would be quick, but Aspinal would have him.


[deleted]

More skilled????? Y’all must’ve forgot what Jones did. Listen, he’s a sociopath, took PEDs, uses cheap attacks like eye pokes and knee kicks, but he is the GOAT of our sport. Youngest champ, destroyed three eras of fighters: 1) OG legends like Rampage, Shogun, Machida, Rashad, Vitor, Glover, 2) beat his own generation greats like DC, Chael, Smith and Alex and 3) held off the new guard with Cereal Gone. He is the most well rounded, talented and accomplished fighter we’ve ever seen in MMA. I won’t say that no one will ever surpass him, but that no one has done it yet. FYI: GSP is my Natty GOAT, but if we ignore PED violations, it isn’t even close.


Budget_Recording7198

everybodys on steroids buddy MMA has never been a clean sport See how Izzy has had gyno for many years and he never tests positive Jones is only dumb for testing positive but most fighters are taking something Jones is the GOAT


CPbear89

Jones didn’t start training until he was an adult. Aspinal started training at 7. Skill is an objective word. But I know where I pick skill. Skill doesn’t mean you win. But is Aspinal more skilled, yes. Also has he hasn’t had a chance to complete his record as one is at the beginning and the other at the end. Right now Aspinal would win. Whether ‘now’ Aspinal would beat ‘then’ Jones is irrelevant. I know where I will put my money if Bones doesn’t Pussy out.


FCBEkko

Put a sock in it mate


CPbear89

As constructive as RAAC. Let me know when you have something constructive to say fanboi.


dillybar152

Mate I want whatever you’re having. Man has looked alright so far but Jones has arguably the best resume of all time and is still adding


CPbear89

Last knockout was 5 years ago before that was 10 years ago. All fighters succumb to younger hungrier lions. It’s the saddest part of the sport. Except in the case of Jones. It won’t be sad. If he beats Miocic and hangs around long enough Aspinal will break him.


dillybar152

Aspinal will never be heavyweight champ, unless it’s due to lack of talent in the division. Best is top 5 contender but nothing about him says he can beat the best the sport has ever seen. You should be in his corner though lol


[deleted]

Jones is a beast but he isn’t scary in the octagon, he didn’t finish anyone until he fought the no grappling bum in gane. While Alex always has the lights out threat with him makes him scarier imo.


[deleted]

Legit psychopath


[deleted]

This is the only answer. He would legit kill you if it was legally allowed.


JebronLames619

But do you think I’m just gonna stand there and let Jon kill me, r/Fuck_You_Alls?


Ryan907

Hey pussy you still there?


TheBobRozz

Can something be illegally allowed?


[deleted]

Thanks bro. Great insightful comment.


TheBobRozz

I got you, bro. Always adding great information to conversations.


No-Meringue9651

Yes, everything that is illegal, that you can do, is illegally allowed. Can you do it? Yes, so it is allowed. Is it against the law? Yes, so it is illegal. Illegally allowed.


YouWillDieForMySins

Corruption.


Styx92

I guess in the sense that you haven't done anything wrong until you actually do it.


[deleted]

Most things that politicians do? That’s the only thing I can think of right now.


dennisjunelee

Agreed. I think if I was stuckin a room with Alex, he'd be chill, but I think Jones might hurt me eventually


EducationalCreme9044

He also trains his dogs to murder people and is proficient in firearms, like really does some "tactical shit". I don't care who you are or how many of you are there, don't ever try to rob Jon Jones lol


Upstairs-Ad-1966

Ummm so can we have a kick boxing match between these too I'm suddenly really interested lol


[deleted]

Jones would go sleep time in an onlykick boxing match or severely outpointed, mma Jones wins by any way he wants


Sjengo

Except doing pure kickboxing in the mma fight


ToTheFman

Alex is scary in the way he beats his opponents, but not so much outside of the cage. Jone is a "hide your wife, hide your kids, Jon is behind a steering wheel" type of scary.l


EnbyBinaryCoder

nah izzy is ... " hide your husband , hide your boyfriend , hide your Dogs, Hide your hentai" .


wtjones

I was gonna say, as long as Jon Jones is in the UFC, no one is scarier.


huntexlol

unpopular opinion I guess, jones used to be terrrifying, legit terrifying in the ring, his gnp was out to kill you, everything he did tried to kill you. I fucking loved young jones but... Now hes not scary, hes a lil chubby, lil old, and will just wrestlefuck you now( litteraly said it himself). Jones is one of my favourite fighters to watch when he was young but not now man.


Budget_Recording7198

the way he dropped Machida after choking him out... Zero remorse, full psychopath mode


yoyoyowhoisthis

took away the roids and who is he


coupleofthreethings

The greatest to ever do it lol


yoyoyowhoisthis

if he is the greatest, why cheat with steroids ?


EducationalCreme9044

Bro he got caught with such a miniscule amount that it is no longer being considered cheating. In other words everyone in the UFC right now can have that amount.


Nenad1979

Cope


EducationalCreme9044

This whole picogram thing is how you guys cope with Jon Jones beating your favorite fighter


Nenad1979

Jones is my probably my favorite since Francis left, but everyone knows he's a cheat tho


EducationalCreme9044

Cope more


topknottington

he'd be Chael Sonnen?


Otherwise-Bug-4316

If he hadn’t popped hot I would say he’s the goat.


CPbear89

I think Aspinal would have his number. Only person in the devision who moves faster than Bones.


ArchaicDominionMetal

The only thing that worries me about Aspinall vs Jones is Tom getting his knees oblique kicked to death


CPbear89

Everyone thought Gane was fast for heavyweight. Aspinal would be fast for light heavyweight. Just think he has everything in his favour. I bet Jones retires before it happens. I personally think it will be funny to watch a guy retire to “protect” his legacy. A legacy of being stripped 3 times, PED scandals and alcohol related criminality. And just to trigger any Bones fans, Gus won the first fight.


moist_cumuat

You’re a feelings > facts guy huh?


CPbear89

I think Amy fight that goes the distance ends up being subjective when the main criteria is damage. Seen the decision go to the guy who gave the other guy a bit of a black eye, when he can’t walk the next day. What’s more damaging.


piman01

Gane?


CPbear89

You’ll see. Aspinal quicker.


Rescue-a-memory

Adesanya is quicker than Strickland and look what happened? Timing beats speed. Gane in a decision.


CPbear89

He’s rangier. Wouldn’t say quicker. Don’t confuse footwork with speed.


Rescue-a-memory

Footwork is technique but speed plays a role as well. Strickland isn't known for his quickness or even being explosive. I'll add that Adesanya isn't so much quick, but he is athletic. This cannot be denied.


tneo8

Would have loved to see jones vs pereira at LHW but bones would probably wrestle fuck peirera


girolski07

They're forgetting about my boy Jones. Sinister.


LLamaNoodleSauce

I'm all for a fighter having heart. But my guy, know your limits. How are you confident you're going to pull a rocky after that head kick?


Budget_Recording7198

Him and Olives are my favorite fighters, both come from the favelas and both knew each other before all the success they've had as fighters


sunihalinh111

Can Pereira with Ngannou ford escort power kill a normal person with a single punch?, and if he could how many normal person could he kill before he gassed out?


AshenSacrifice

He could kill a person right now!!


Reg-the-Crow

Scariest yes, best no.


Scary-Entrepreneur71

No one has said best


ThrowaWayneGretzky99

Scariest yes, named Frank? No


itsyaboigreg

Luckily no one asked that question in the post


Reg-the-Crow

That’s crazy how we’re both answering things no one asked questions to right?


itsyaboigreg

Too right brother. We are both bottom feeders


IM1GHTBEWR0NG

Nah, Jon Jones is. Most dangerous fighter inside and outside of the ring. Especially outside.


GrumpleStiltskon

Honestly his fight against Blachowicz was boring af


Cum-Gun-5000

It was, but it's because Jan was not interested in banging with Alex, and Alex wasn't interested in getting ahead of himself and trying to force the issue. It was a result of a lot of mutual respect for the other's skills


Salmacis81

Yeah Jan was gassed by 2nd round, Alex was gassed by 3rd round. Don't know why they keep having cards in SLC.


GuiltySyrups

He honestly didn’t look that good but Jan is a beast too


Newkker

Better than the fight izzy had vs yan where he just stood there pretending to fight (feinting) then got laid on


buttcrispe

You could tell neither of them had acclimated to the altitude, tho Alex was still sharp af


Massaart

Nothing a double leg can't fix


Rescue-a-memory

Why haven't the other professionally trained, athletic, and freakishly tough men tried it?


Massaart

Kind of a joke, but his competition in mma has not been that grapple heavy tbh. Dont think alex will be easily submitted or taken down though ;)


TheAngriestPoster

Because he has been handed an easy road to the title in both divisions he’s fought in. All strikers who are tailor made for him to beat down as a glory kickboxing champ. The only person who tried to grapple him lately was Jan who’s 40, primarily a Muay Thai guy, and gassed after Round 1.


Goatheadeddolphin

![gif](giphy|GSa0EyiDd89KR2d4gG)


[deleted]

Nah literally no one is calling Volk out.


Budget_Recording7198

Volk is better as an MMA fighter than Pereira, there's no question about that But Pereira is way scarier than Volk when you look at him


MrLionOtterBearClown

I mean yeah lol they’re both tatted up bald headed mma fighters but Alex is almost a full foot taller than Volk.


legendarybreed

It's not the weight class, its the nuclear weapons he possesses. With Volk I'd scared to sustain a pretty bad beating. With Pereira I'd be worried i might wake up with severe permanent disabilities after being sent to the moon by one strike. Him and Ngannou are literally the epitome of possessing the "touch of death"


Cum-Gun-5000

Fight Volk, and wake up the next day sore over your entire body thinking about the systematic ass beating you received. Fight Alex, and wake up in a week with a feeding tube and trying to remember what your name is.


MrLionOtterBearClown

Yeah, the trained fighter whose a foot taller and 80lbs heavier hits a lot harder lol, we are making the same poont


legendarybreed

Not really bro, there are power punchers with one punch knockouts all the way down to flyweight, it's not about the weight class.


[deleted]

Not really. He lost his belt immediately and had a pretty close fight with Jan. They'll be no shortage of opponents for him.


Budget_Recording7198

I'm talking about being scary Volk is a 5'6" dude who despite being one of the most dominant champions isn't that scary when you look at him Pereira probably has the most power in the UFC, dude KOs everybody, he looks like a hitman, he's like 6'5" and he rarely ever smiles That's the point of this thread


Swegan

Pavlovich have more power for sure and i would say Jailton looks scarier.


DanieIIll

Why does everyone go on about Pavlovich’s power? I’ve never seen him get a KO from a big shot, he just swarms people with volume and doesn’t give them a chance to fight back.


shoryurepppa

A lot of fighters who’ve fought Pavlovich talk about his power I think that’s why.


Scary-Entrepreneur71

He’s the fucking champ everyone in the fw division is gunning for him


_The__Notorious

What are you talking about? Topuria and Max both have both it done it recently. Champs are always being called out


Disabled_Robot

KeyAdept1982

There was so much cocaine in that tweet I had to take a shit while reading it


yoyoyowhoisthis

I bet Ngannou or Pereira would have called him out if he was up for a catchweight bout


simplynotthere11

Everyone been saying this since Alex came to UFC, we know he isnt the scariest anymore, thats JON JONES


TheConnorrJB

Jon Jones could legitimately kill him. So no.


SnooTomatoes4033

He could snap Jon's calf in half with his leg kicks


basher505

Izzy flat lined him in the rematch, and quite a few people thought he lost to Jan, so I'm going to say no.


Ibarra08

That battle cry at the end was scary


StopPlayingRoney

Not after Izzy made him look SUPER chinny.


Cain-x

He is the true Sagat from Street Fighter 2 (yes I'm old) nothing less.


Confirmation__Bias

Nah. Scariest is Sergei Pavlovich imo


Parquiell

Sergai And Ngannou


noire_cotic

Nah. The muslim russians from the mountains are more frightening.


MrLionOtterBearClown

I’d 100% rather fight a sambo guy than Alex or Volk. Granted they’d still kill me but I’d rather not get brain damage from Alex or combo’d by volk all night, and there’s a chance the Dagestani guy just chokes me out.


TheAngriestPoster

Khabib is one that wouldn’t just grapple you, he’d also beat the shit out of you while doing it. Feel like he’d do at least as much damage as Volk. He’s not on the roster though so I guess he’s excluded


simplynotthere11

Nah hard disgaree there


carlitos_brigante

Nope.


Mjaso7414

Nope


KienIsCool

Alls i'm saying is imagine waiting for your opponent in the octagon, to see him across the crowd shooting an imaginary bow at you while screaming..


CardiologistOk1506

No. Absolutely not.


DS_Caesar

Probably not the scariest, but Justin Gaethje is up there. Something about dudes who really enjoy it


Greeenmartian

Absolutely not , I don’t think many lightweights fear him . If Jan had better cardio and wasn’t 52 years old he would have had his way on the ground with him but you could see he just hasn’t had the energy the past few fights.


Rescue-a-memory

Periera is no spring chicken either and was also fighting against the altitude.


TheAngriestPoster

4 years difference is huge, especially when it’s 40 vs 36. Jan’s taken some damage, he was concussed after his last fight with Ank


takeittothetop1

If we’re talking about a purely visual intimidation factor, Jon Jones then Poatan.


Blood4Blud

Nope. He lost to Jan so doesn’t that make Jan the scariest?!


Serious-Product-1742

Scariest? He barely beat Jan by decision recently ffs relax man. Once Izzy knocked him out it brought him back down to reality and showed he’s not above anyone else so no he’s definitely not the most scary compared to Khamzat who’s been way more dominate in his fights and that’s someone I’d call scary simply because of his non stop intensity. Couldn’t give a fuck if Burns had a competitive fight with him it still doesn’t make people want to fight him and he rag dolled Holland a year ago proving he’s consistently at his best


OlivaJR

OP riding that dick hard


TimeTimeTickingAway

By looks alone, maybe. In general though I might say Strickland is scarier as he seems more likely to actually do something crazy and scary outside of the cage


forgetstorespond

Lol he is gotta be up there. For Jones Vs Alex it's a bit like "What's scarier getting mauled to death by a grizzly Bear or shot right in the fuckin head?" I guess you would be alive longer for the grizzly Bear so you would experience more fear? For getting shot in the head it's probably really scarey for a couple seconds then your dead. 2 different dudes, both scary in their own way.


Brodieboyy

It's gotta be him or jiri and we lucky bastards get to watch them fight soon.


MotherLoveBone27

I actually think this dudes plan is win the LHW title, then immediately call for Jones at HW. And shit he might actually do it.


M00N_MAN_LULZ

wait what rock have i been under is he actively fighting outside the UFC?


Left-Frog

Fuck me man, that size difference is scary. Man is cheating with cutting that much weight.


[deleted]

No not really


joejamesuk

Absolutely fucking cracked him with that knee


tony220jdm

Stand up maybe but overall no way! Jones would rag doll him


dsmith3633

No.


FolkMetalFan

No, he's not. [Bitch please](https://youtu.be/B2oS7ziKTOo?feature=shared)


Not_Nova_

Holy shit that was brutal. He’s not in GOAT conversation, but he’s very talented. Now that he’s in his prime, the sky is the limit


Aggressive-Expert-69

I love how he galloped up to him like a hobby horse


Squidwardbigboss

1-2 against Wilnis 😂😂😂😂😂 Just kidding lol, he probably is the scariest right now. Actually maybe Pavlovich is scarier.


Quiet_Storm13

No. I think a good wrestler would really challenge him at LHW.


NatureIndoors

I think you guys are forgetting about Blood Diamond (lol)


Rescue-a-memory

I don't know if everyone quite understands that Pereira did this against a trained, large, and athletic kickboxer. He would absolutely insta knockout any regular, athletic or not, person of pretty much any size. Those who didn't immediately drop would wish they would after getting tuned up more than an old piano.


aihrarshaikh68plus1

he was like "who told you "you can continue" ?, shit your ass down"


druglesswills

Would love to see him vs. Jiri


Any_Mathematician756

No, volk and Jones clear


KinG-Beez

Buddy got up and said may I have another… sheeshhh


TheJawsofIce

For me that would be Khamzat Chimaev. He is just relentless with his takedowns, wrestling, and pounding.


Savageturkey559

No it’s jiri


Jaypr36

That dude is scary ass hell


mikejr96

Pavlovich is not being shown the respect he deserves here lol


Level_Hovercraft_825

No


ManyParts

Definitely wish he would do like 6 fights a year


JyJellyPants-Grape

Jon is still active ser, sit yourself down with that nonsense


ByTheLightHouse

Pavlovich and Jones are far scarier than Pereira.


hifioctopi

So patient, and just freakishly accurate.


[deleted]

No, tthe Homelander of MMA, Jon Jones is.


velocity55

Nope. Bones is the scariest both inside and outside the octagon


StaySoft94

His scream is more scary than the knockout itself


Jiinpachii

Bro forgot Jon Jones is still there


Scarjotoyboy

i'm in awe of the other guys bravery and gameness too lol man had no quit in him


theblindbandit69

Bro's got the touch of death 💀


phillyhoffmangoat

Shavkat. The mauling he would put on guys like Colby, Gary, Usman, Belal and Burns would be horrifying.


Lolleos

I think he's VERY VERY scary, but I think he was much more so given how big he was for Middleweight.
