The ufc truly lost a great mind parting ways with Dan. Happy to see you’re still doing your thing. Cheers!
Y’all gonna be saying this in 2040 lol. The man moved on.
MMA GURU has him running and hiding 🤣🤣🤣
UFC is a sinking ship. Glad he got out before the rest of the rats
@@FloridaMan-ie6yk what 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄🤣🤣🤣
The ufc are such morons binning Dan
I would have preferred JJs return to be vs Francis, but this fight will still be amazing. Love your work, Dan.
Ciryl is a better matchup for Jon imo
JJ been out for ages, rather him be sharp for Francis should he ever return. Though Gane is no easy test on his first match back in a new weight class. If he can't take him down oof.
@@xKayNee gane is more dangerous. look what he did with tai and black beast. and he should have won against ngannou but he did a stupid leg lock
Francis ran from the sport cause of Jones unfortunately and then says it’s cause he isn’t getting paid 40 million
Thank God that francis is out. He was so bad for the division. Holding up the whole HW div and fighting only once every 14 months etc. Good riddance.
Anybody else going down the rabbit hole on Jon jones right now? So many things come up thinking about the man the GOAT coming back I can’t wait to see his run at heavyweight

Nope. It has to reserved for Devid vs Goliath type scenarios. This is anyone's game.

Yeah, but no one’s disrespecting Gane by any means we all love him but loads of us are just too excited for the goat & one of the biggest ufc stars returning its kind of bad timing in that extent

Dan. I deeply appreciate your intellect, wit and the ability to get me absurdly hyped for this fight. You understand and can analyze fighting on a nuanced level that feels like mental candy for me. Kudos to you.
I always think I’ve covered the breakdowns in my head from top to bottom but you always bring up stuff I didn’t even think about amazing breakdown as always 💯
Love these breakdowns, Mr Hardy. Fine work.
I swear to god yet again, people misremembering the Smith fight. He lost rounds? He absolutely dominated Smith for the entire fight!
He did lose rounds on the judges scorecard genius.
anthony smith is trash. he was out struck every round. whoever scored a round for smith is on drugs
@@claymac7895 Go read the scorecard. all judges scored it 48-44 for Jones. The only reason it was not 50/44 the ref took 2 points from Jon. Smith clearly never won a single round
@@claymac7895 watch the fight it was one sided
Exactllly what I thought...
Is always a pleasure to see your videos analysis of fights, thank you.
Love your breakdowns, best in the business. Wish you accomplish all your personal goals. Thanks Dan👍🏼
That is how breakdowns are done. Wonderful job again Dan and the Full Reptile team.
Thanks, Dan! Your honesty is appreciated, especially since post-284 where people are picking based on biases!
Gotta think Gane is a bigger and possibly better challenge than Reyes and Santos, and with the addition of going up in weight could be troublin for him. Good breakdown. More Darkrooms! More Darkrooms!
and this is why I will be betting every dollar I have on Gane.
I don’t see jon winning. If he can grapple and ground and pound. I see him winning tho
@@joes282828 gane has never faced a wrestler. got outwrestled by ngannou. jones is one of the best wrestlers in ufc, and gane is a white belt. that being said i hate jones but ill take him at -155 odds vs anyone but francis.

@@ynwdeshawn7511 because you’re a clueless armchair expert. Jj destroys gane send me your sisters digits after the mauling
Dan Hardy's breakdowns are number one among my favorites. And I watch a lot of them.
This is my all time favorite fight breakdown show. You’re the best in the business Dan. I mean that and I’ve been watching MMA since the 90s. There are other MMA shows, but you EXPOUND on the technical details, whereas lesser shows fall back to talking about heart, or motivation, or what a fight “means.” I want to know how these two pugilists match up, not their inner psychological workings! You deliver, again and again. This fight is going to be epic.
The thing is that Jon isnt very predictable. He's a very, "in the moment" fighter, when he's at his best. He's so fantastically creative bcuz he's fighting "in the moment" / "in the zone", the majority of the fight. I think Jon's potential suffers most when he's following a coaches "game plan".
always appreciate your breakdowns DH
Always an incredible basis of passion and experience in and out of the cage in your analysis' and breakdowns. We all are grateful for your work in bringing us these quality war rooms Dan. Cheers. - mma fan army
Thanks for the videos buddy and did an amazing job with the morning Kombat crew in the London show
We've seen his real face with his public scandals and DC rivalry. Loved your comments at the end. He tried to break Anthony Smith's knee. Straight up killer.
@Typharius glover. Yeah he's the type of guy that will do everything to win. He will train very hard, he will try to cripple you, he will bend the rules or cheat in many ways
We need the UFC to allow DH to use video footage from previous fights! That really adds to a great breakdown.
Cyril gane is a bigger stronger Thiago Santos. He uses a great range of kicks, very dextrous, bounces around, uses leg kicks perfectly, uses his length and jabs very well. I think Jon Jones is going to have a lot harder time than people think, I think gane should be the favourite seeing how Jon is moving up in weight, hasnt fought in 3 years, he's 35 and arguably lost his last two fights.
He won those fights
@@gibgibbo5738 I said arguably due to a lot of other people thinking he lost those fights, especially the Reyes fight. If you look at what's happened to Reyes since the Jones fight, it doesn't make that win look any better.
@@bobbob4919 or Reyes held on to the fact he thought he beat Jones & that alone mentally beat him & he hasn’t been the same since.🤷🏻♂️
@@bobbob4919agreed
@@bobbob4919 Logic says Gane beats the PEDs out of Jon. This is the HW division and Ciryl is not undersized. I’m calling a late TKO.
"The fact that he's been able to just lift, and train, and daydream about what he would if he was in there against Ciryl Gane, or Francis Ngannou, or Stipe Miocic or, whoever else he fantasizes about beating up in his downtime when he's hiding under the octagon." Almost made me spit my drink, lol
Yea that shit was GOLD
We all can see Jon is just a mean guy same with Yan
I think JJ had 3 things in the LHW division that made him an unsolvable puzzle: he was a wrestler, had insane reach advantage, and creativity/versatility in striking - all of these aspects covered each other's weaknesses. Those with long reach (most often strikers) get outwrestled, but that doesn't work because he is a great wrestler. Reading him and closing the distance and countering is hard as he is so versatile in striking. He, on the other hand, can be so versatile because he has the range and opponents won't normally rush into him with takedowns. As a wrestler, he can just look for openings as it is not on him to do something (again because of the striking range), so he doesn't have to force predictable takedowns like e.g. Blaydes. Now, at HW he loses the range, naturally some of his speed, especially compared to Gane, and with these the creativity will I think not be there anymore - e.g. it's much easier to "lock horns" and land standing elbows on someone like Rashad Evans who is shorter and has shorter reach. He will have to chase and force takedowns on Gane. If he is successful at consistently taking him down, he will finish Gane, otherwise I think Gane wins by TKO/KO or by decision.
Wrestling for 4 rounds and the in 5th sub by Jones. Easy
Except he still has the longest reach
Gane is easily the most dangerous striker JJ has ever fought his speed movement iq and power are all so dangerous if JJ pulls it off I’ll be so impressed
@@0Daniel01 Exactly, just shows how big of an advantage it was in the LHW. Now, the 2-3 inch advantage he has over Gane and other HWs is not that big of a deal, compared to e.g. 9.5 inch reach over Rashad Evans or 12 over Cormier.
One thing I think no one considers is the falling out with Jackson wink. His last few fights with them Greg Jackson was training and game planning to win decisions and not take damage. You can tell jon was not happy with his performances and I think with new coaching and game planning we will see a different/the old jon Jones
Thanks Dan! Awesome breakdown. I am really excited for this one.
Can't wait for this fight, thank you for super awesome break down.
Looking forward to this! You're the man Dan! Love you brother!
I’ve been *waiting* for this breakdown!!
Awesome !! War Room, can't wait for this one.
Best breakdown of any fight I’ve seen in a long time. Loved watching you fight (I wanted a return fight soooo much), but happy you’ve found a transition that you’re also great at.
Dan’s comment about Jones “who ever else he fantasizes about beating up whilst hiding under the octagon.” 😂😂😂
Man unfortunately I did not witness the jones Era but I have rewatched almost all of his fights and there is just something about him... he is so intelligent, mean and nasty in the octagon that's a really unique combination and frightening at the same time. I'm usually always picking ciryl as I see him one of the greatest talents and also one of the most intelligent fighters but Jesus he has the hardest task in front of him its so scary ..
Jon Jones is the single greatest fighter ever. Drug bs aside. He has that MJ/Kobe mentality of winning. I have watched his entire career and i cant imagine him losing unless its a clean k.o like edwards vs usman. he is just too fucking good.
Jones coming up was just a different breed. The man was winning without even training properly
@@hiddenkoncept08 No need to train properly with a lot of talent+being roided out of his mind
Best fight analysis in the game! Dan‘s the man! Thanks for the superb quality content, sir!
Dan is clearly interested in seeing your RAID Champions, guys. Don't be holdin' out on him.
haha I swear I cant, this company must have infinite money or have produced the best game ever...
Daaaaaamn HUGE RESPECT for Dan Hardy for this breakdown and basically a tribute to Jon Jones. I agree with literally every point. And I’m fuckin stoked to watch this!!!! Can’t wait
The training footage of Jones I have seen shows he's even slower and more flat footed than ever, and his hands are still garbage. We'll see. On Jones' creativity: I mean, yeah but when every opponent is smaller than you and can barely reach you, you can afford to go off script. That's not going to be safe at HW.
….. ok
@@michaelbeard4883 glad you agree. Thanks.
Lol ur gonna be real shocked when jones smashes gane and then stipe lol he will win he’s too good the GOAT
@@gibgibbo5738 wow
Yeah he’s not gonna be successful at hw
One of the best out there! Your the man Dan
Thanks for your content Dan Hardy!
Scariest this I’ve seen Jones do in that Lyoto fight, he dropped him like a corpse 🧟♂️
“Get off me. How dare you.” Had me cracking up 😂😂
😂😂 Ah swear down. He captured the unspoken words of Bones Jones perfectly from that moment in the cage. Gawd Almighty!
If you pause at 13:24 , that snapshot of Cyril smashing Tuivasa looks like a video game cover.
Great work Dan your break downs are the best mate 👊
Great breakdown
Are you the real Dr. Hightower?

Always a great breakdown
No one breaks down fights like Dan.love how unbiased he is.
He sounds pretty bias to the glory days and old guard , over valuing that past in relation to this recent fight
Great Work Dan. Regarding Jones, I just wonder what affects the layoff, drugs, drink, steroids, personal issues and ‘new’ body will have on his return. He was such a beast, but maybe he has been declining as things are catching up with him. I can see the fight being a point scoring stand up fight, which goes to a decision. 😮
Only time I've been interested in the Raid Shadow legends ad. Great breakdown and loved seeing you with MK!
Your breakdowns are the best in the business keep up the good work, great analysis….you got lots of fans and supporters in Australia 🇦🇺
Been waiting for this one!
I’m interested in seeing what gane looks like when he’s not allowed to have a singular focus on striking. I think that’s been the key to a lot of his success. Jons a different animal offensively he threatens everywhere and mixes things up constantly. I think he’ll overwhelm gane
True i think jones win by submissions or decision
Yeah especially when there in the clinch
7:30 There is also TJ Dillashaw vs Renan Barao people always forget him but Barao was untouchable until TJ crushed him twice.
Great content mate thanks
Great stuff as usual
Always great commentary Bur we all have to remember we’re all talking about JONES like he been ACTIVE. Which he hasn’t !!! Has to take that into EFFECT & heavier wieght . Ya great accomplishment but I’d be the same !! Guess will see ! Everyone knows ring rust is always play a game in this sport !! 😮
I guess Dan Hardy doesn’t remember Loyota Machida definitely a deadly kickboxer and karate fighter. Excellent footwork.
Much smaller
@@anthonygray6570 a lot quicker too!
Way different lol
Machida a kickboxer… what
@@newworldgrover8588 eh
One of the best MMA channels on YT, Keep it up Dan.
GREAT VID THANKS
Aside from Jones’s wrestling, what will be interesting to see is how he defends strikes because his reach advantage will be largely negated by Gane. In LHW, Jones could post his lead hand to block strikes and keep fighters where he wanted them. Gane can nullify that with his own reach and switch stance. Gonna be interesting to see
I have the impression that no one watched that Cyril/ Ngannou fight, Francis was made clueless on the feet. He got 2 reactive takedown being probably the strongest fighter the sport has ever seen. Going in the 5th it was 38-38, Cyril on top, throws a sub, ends on bottom, never threatened. Loses the decision. Jon was a roided weight bully, fighting flip flop sellers. Dude couldn't avoid getting brutalized against Santos and Reyes, his striking is 2000's ufc2 bs, he got pillows for fist, he's 35 going up a weight class, off the juice. Jon will look like Marvin Vettori in there, getting outboxed by a slicker, fitter fighter, losing a decision because his chin will keep him up all 25 minutes. This is a bs fight, Blaydes and Pavlovich are the true challenges for Gane at the moment.
Facts
Damn you are really convincing me But don't forget judges loves jones and would give him the decision win anyway
Great stuff as always Dan
Damn so spot on. Watch those neck attacks right at the end
Dan we getting a dark room episode for next weeks ppv? Maybe on valentines title defenses? Or jones recent fights.
Funny as feck them.
for me either Jon wrestles and submits him in fairly short order, or it's a long standup fight where Gane would piece him up except Jon just avoids him. he looked utterly human against other fights with height and reach
Facts. Jones looked bad against Reyes. Age and time have caught up. Also managing the cycles w USada watching and maintaining that level is hard. I predict Jon won’t b able to take gane down, not jones these days, maybe 5 years ago
@@ibrahimtall6209 but he's stronger now than 5 years ago? Think man think
@@teacopem You think. Gane is faster at his size, and Jon looked like a slug hitting the pads in that footage a month or so ago. If you haven't wrestled in a long time, it's way harder. Jon is older now, his timing is gonna be off. His cardio will be in question. I say Gane knocks Jon out if not dominates on the feet for 5 rounds.
@@ibrahimtall6209Not gonna take him down? Francis with 2 bad knees and no wrestling background wrestled Gane into oblivion. Jones was wrestler and wrestled out DC who is animal in wrestling..Not smart comment buddy Jon Jones sub 5th round after brutal wrestling domination
@@RickGrimes__ Jones gets caught with a kick. I'll come to this after jones takes the L
...in his down time when he is hiding under the octagon - I swear I did not see that one coming. Almost choked on my drink. Great episode, I am beyond hyped for this fight.
Yo good job hardy first time here, and subbed!
the most under rated in jon jones is his cleverness.he is way smarter and subtle than other ufc fighters by a long way.
@Typharius I'm french, should be rooting for gane, in martial arts since 1980. Not only I root for jon, but I know he has 90 % chances to win over gane. There's no such thing as a goat, it is such a stupid debate to compare in mind, hundred of fighters of different style and era. Jon jones is not my favourite fighter. My fav are not in the ufc. but, to my opinion, jon jones is the best fighter the ufc ever had since its creation in 1993.
The irony is Jones move to heavyweight involves him fighting potentially a smaller guy. And then a smaller one again in stipe.
So what is ur point Mike Tyson didn’t have a problem with size and reach
So Jones needs to fight someone weighing over 260? Like who? Tai? Lewis? Lol the best heavyweights outside of Francis weight 235-250lbs.
@@crayytv210overeem weighed 265
@@suhailshaikh8529 but he’s also not in the UFC. I’m speaking about todays top heavyweights aren’t pushing 265 aside from Francis.
@@crayytv210 And even Overeem was around 250-255 in his last UFC fights. Gane is likely a bit taller than Jones, weight will be likely around 250 for both men at the weigh ins. Reach advantage goes for Jones but not by a large margin.
This is a massive fight! Love him or loath him. Bones is the best ever. I like that he's taken his time with the new mass. If he's prepared properly his body should be acclimatized to the additional girth.
You are phenomenal at what you do Dan
It's been about a year and no one talks about how that big takedown francis got was off of a kick that missed from cyril.
which big takedown? cause he got big takedowns 3 rounds in a row and controlled him majority of round lmao.
He got multiple takedown lol
@@inhonorofbballowner did nothing with the takedowns. Just layed on him
Cant wait... Jon Bone Jones! Its been a while.
as usal the best analsis in the game !! always good to see you dan do what you do best from the ufc program that you you were doing
Good work boss 🙏🏾
Great breakdown Dan as you're the best in the business. But for all Jones advantages, there's a few major red flags. He has been getting slower every fight, and now all that extra weight will make him even slower. And he looks best when he has major reach, and more human against taller guys. And 3 years off is such a long time.
He'll gas for sure after 5 td attempts and gane will ko him. We heard all this with glover in the last lhw title fight.
Cryil literally opened up about not training outside of a fight camp. If gane actually beats Jones that would be the biggest upset in recent time
If you think that's true.....
@@saqib_999 exactly lol
@@schism6976 wdym Jon Jones done the exact same thing in his early career
Just making excuses cos he knows jon would kill him
No way a elite Fighter like him only trains when he has a camp. If you believe that I got beach front property in Arkansas to sell you
I agree with you 100% Jon loves beating people at their own game rightly or wrongly.
New Zealand cheering for J.J
what i am really interested in is how much Cyril's has evolved. I dont think we have seen a guy evolve so fast in the sport in such a short amount of time since Jones. I think in terms of physicality, athletic ability and being able to adapt i think Jones will finally meet his match. Even in terms of the way they train. Cyril has said recently he is lazy and doesnt train much. For him to be that good i truly think Jones has met his match. Maybe not in terms of skill yet but It's not as simple as Cyril got taken down by Ngannou so Jones will destroy him. It's very very intriguing to me how this fight goes. I'm favouring Jones as well but it's a mad intriguing fight for me and Cyril Gane might surprise use all
Unfortunately his coach sucks. Can’t evolve with Ferdinand Lopez as main coach. Look what happened to Francis when he left MMA factory!
Amanda, valentina, hell khabib grew so fast. He had to learn his trips he mastered so well and we forget khabib once was even a good boxer, he would shoot from halfway acroos the cage! George st pierre when he learned his wrestling from the canadian olympic wrestling team.
unfortunately for Gane. Unless he can catch a clean KO(Usman vs Edwards style) he is doomed. Jon is the greatest fighter we have ever seen. No heavyweight besides DC if he was till around is gonna be able to deal with Jones. He is just miles and miles ahead and his winning mentality is ferocious against Ganes chill laid back striking. Jon will clinch and put him down and end it badly. very badly
really enjoyed watching this, both fighters are awesome
The other challenger who absolutely dominated the champion was TJ against Barao! I remember that fight as new MMA fan and it was masterclass
Jon is the first person we’ve seen do the opposite of a Heel persona he’s a natural Heel but portrays a religious goodie tooshu 😂
I think Jon will be in for a rude awakening! He’s had a crazy few years since his last fight and he’s changed where he trains changed his manager and is changing weight I don’t think he will look anything like he used too
Haha keep on thinking
Based on what ? Came back from multiple suspensions and fought well
Your opinion 🤷🏾♂️
I agree! Can't wait to see what happens .. I'm going 3rd round sub Gane :P
@@jackreacher2095 this is his longest break from competition by far, it’s been 3 years. I do think it’s a fight Jon can win pretty easily, but I just see Gane winning that’s just my opinion I think Jon hasn’t looked the same since his fight with Anthony Smith
hardy is easily one of if not THE best at doing these breakdowns.
Great breakdown ,Ty
Yo!! Jon Jones IS The GOAT, however Cyril Gane is also mean, lands elbows and great movement. Like you said he might have been surprised by Francis’s wrestling plus Cyril speed, timing, elbows, knees and Boxing are on point. This is going to be an uphill battle for both Warriors. Good Luck To Both Lions/Warriors. New Mexico, New York, NY, Stand Up, 👊🏾🦁🦁🇳🇬🇺🇸
🇫🇷Bon Gamin🇫🇷✊🏽
geeeezzz.... nice Jon Jones breakdown... at least you mentioned Gane a few times...the part that I liked the most is the "He might try an ankle lock to win due to Jones having slim calves and Gane lost all the rounds..."
I know right hardly anything about Gane
Dan is my favorite Combat Sports Personality and I’ve ALWAYS been a fan since his Rory KO. Damn shame the UFC let him go. At least he has his own channel though. Love hearing him talk about Combat Sports.
Great analysis video as allways
Man people make sooo many excuses for Jon I don't get it. He's eye poked, knee stomped (been gifted decisions against gus and reyes) weird scores vs Cormier or Santos. Does coke and roids without recourse for 15 years and everyone is talking about goat status
He's the finest martial artist of the modern day. I think experience and determination is going to make up for inactivity on this one and Jon Jones gets it done. Going to be an excellent fight. Let's go!
He's not the juiced up Jon anymore. He's also been outa the cage for 3 years. He's gone through some legal issues and the separation from his girl. He gonna lose either split decision or ko
He’s had a knack for splits lately
@@ramonbriones4487 Gane will finish him. This is not LHW.
Best analysis in the game! well done Dan
Dan hardy and CCC has the best breakdowns
Gane got taken down at will by Francis on one leg. People acting like any version of Jones couldn’t do the same thing is delusional
It's different because Francis has a nuclear weapon he had to watch out for, Jon doesn't have that.
Francis is metallo. He can literally lift anyone and drop em.
Francis just has freakish strength, didn't need much technique to take Gane down.
Remeber when he couldnt take Reyes or Santos down?
When was the last time Ngannou took someone down in the UFC? Besides Gane.
I feel like this breakdown relies on video of Jones from like 10 years ago. I have him at two losses in row. Saying he was uninspired is an excuse. He got Reyes down like one time and it took everything he had, and Reyes just got back up. The look on Jones' face was priceless...like "UGHHH." Then Dan uses the old "beat them at their own game" cliche'. I feel like that old hype is long gone. Not saying he can't win this, but it won't be based on all that old stuff when he was roided to the gills. Teams have also figured out counters to that oblique nonsense. Reyes countered it. Amanda Nunes KO'd Holm with a high kick as a counter.
After usada came into effect ...jones got popped twice with dc and gus 2... barely won against one leg stanos...lost to Reyes ...now in hw I am sure he is juiced to the gills and he can win
Agreed. People ignore the facts when it comes to their idols. Jones has an army of submissive groupies that think he's still the guy that choked Machida.
@@katana_3558 I feel like there may be more to his long layoff than we've been told by the UFC

Love these dan
YES!!! F****G A! I have been waiting for your analysis of this! Cheers Dan! You made my day
This was not an analysis at all
People seem to have delusions, as well as a very short memory, concerning Jones's last few performances. He hasn't looked like the Jones his fanboys picture inside their heads in at least 6 years. Gane is an amazing athlete, and will be ready. Fanboys will be reminded on who Jones is at this point in his career.
Jones needs those usada approved 💉💉💉💉 to get this done
@@katana_3558 Let's just hope he gets inside the octagon. Another thing people fail to acknowledge or remember: his dependability. He could be in prison for impregnating a hamster prostitute before nightfall and it wouldn't surprise me a bit.
I do get where your going and agree up to a certain point,Yes Cyril is indeed a formidable opponent, and no JBJ isn't where he used to be. Yet a diminished or aging tiger stays a tiger nonetheless. JbJ is a BMF, his body will fade slowly, but his viciousness or creativity aren't going anywhere. I'm a big Cyril fan, love his style and persona but not to the point where I would so easily dismiss Jon Jones' chances of winning
@@noichitchong3404 When was the last time he looked like this tiger you speak of?
@@buckhead40zI guess it all depends on how you eye the performances he's had with the use of banned substances or not? I totally get your point but at the end of the day any fighter can comeback an reinvent themselves, it's been done.
