Why he never took Santos down I have NO IDEA.. maybe he wanted him to stand on the F’d up knee.. seems he could have easily gotten in for a double leg

Close fight. 

1- Thiago
2- Jones
3- Jones 
4- ????
5- Thiago

For me it comes down to that 4th round where not much really happened.  It could be a draw in my book.

I actually have that 3-2 Maretta. I think he took 1,2 and 5.

Jones will get it though. I'll go to my grave believing Santos would have won that fight convincingly if the injury hadn't happened.

Jones just doesn't throw with an intent to finish sometimes. He had so many chances to throw counter hooks while Santos threw lazy punches and left his hands down.

Very anticlimactic finish following those previous 3 fights

@gun I was just thinking the same thing. 

I used to say that about GSP too though.

Downvote me all you like, doesn't change the fact that 2019 Jones isn't the Jones of old.

Jones should move up to heavyweight sooner than later.  He'll benefit from fighting slower dudes as he gets older.

Jones is atrocious. Marreta watched so many windows just slip away in front of him...could've won this fight. Should've won this fight. Keep swinging, Jones wasn't even throwing punches..ugh. Santos was scared of counters that never even happened..

The idea that Jon was *this* close to losing to a man fighting on one leg due to a sheer lack of activity is the most MMA thing possible.

Santos should have gotten the nod tonight. He won rounds 1,2, and 5
