Who is better Jon Jones or Anderson Silva?
Man, that's a tough one! You're talking about two absolute legends of the sport, right? Jon Jones and Anderson Silva, both of these guys are just on another level when it comes to fighting.
Jon Jones, that dude's a natural-born fighter, you know? I mean, look at the people he's faced and beaten—Leodemachita, Rampage Jackson, Rashad Evans, Daniel Cormier, and the list goes on. This guy knows how to put it all together, and competition-wise, he's faced some of the toughest opponents out there. His streak, his ability to come back and still be on top after everything he's been through, it's just insane.
But then you have Anderson Silva. In his prime, man, Anderson was like a magician. The way he knocked out Vitor Belfort with that front kick to the face, the way he just dismantled guys like Forrest Griffin and Stefan Bonner—it was like he was playing a different game. He was a master in his own right, just a beautiful fighter to watch.
So, better fighter? I think it depends on what you're looking at. Competition level and sheer dominance over a stacked division—I'd lean towards Jon Jones. But if you're talking about pure artistry and those moments of magic in the octagon, Anderson Silva, man, he was something special. They're both GOATs in their own right.
It's Lyoto Machada lol
Oh man, you must be talking about Lyoto Machida! Yeah, he's a fascinating guy in the world of mixed martial arts. I mean, when he first came on the scene, it blew people's minds how he represented karate at such a high level in MMA. Such a unique style, you know? It's always wild to see how different disciplines adapt when they get into the octagon. He's definitely one of those game-changers.
Jones chocked him out badly
Man, Jon Jones is just on another level, you know? That guy's a master at feeling where a fighter is physically and psychologically. When he fought Lyoto Machida, it was one of those moments where you see just how smart and calculated Jones really is. He used his insane reach and fight IQ to catch Machida in a standing guillotine choke—it was brutal. Jones knew exactly when Machida was vulnerable and just locked it in. It was like he sensed Machida's hesitation, and boom, he capitalizes on it. That's why he’s such a killer in the Octagon. He finds a way to win, even in those high-pressure moments. Such a wild, natural talent—just a beast.
