While most of the fans criticized Jones for his skinny legs and heavy body. One man noticed his smooth moves. Additionally, he acknowledged his grappling skills that can destroy his opponent.
“I wonder how fluid of a striker he is with the added weight.. I’m not really concerned about his grappling which is probably gonna be scary for Gane tbh“
The bout between Jones and Gane is scheduled on March 4 when they both will square off for the heavyweight championship title. For Bones, it will be his debut match in the heavyweight division.
However, as mentioned by fans, it is unpredictable if Jones‘s adding size to his body has actually worked for him or not. How do you think the match between the two will end? Let us know in the comments below.
