Unpopular opinion: Jon Jones is massively overrated

He is the LHW GOAT, no question. He is also undoubtedly one of the P4P GOATs. But he is far from this invincible demi-god some people make him out to be, personally I think he is below DJ and GSP.

He was gifted decision wins against Gustafsson, Santos and Reyes. Even if you think he won all three fights, you have to admit they were close enough that the judges could have scored them either way.

Additionally, he would constantly fall back on dirty/illegal moves when fights weren't going his way. He also took PEDs to fights guys who weren't on PEDs. Not that he necessarily needed them, but they sure decreased his chances of losing and he knew it. Why else do you think he took them?

His first 6 title fights were very impressive. Admittedly they were against older, smaller opponents (mostly past their prime former middleweights), but that was when he was dominating people. Most his fights in the last 10 years, he looked decent but not amazing in my opinion.

PS. Finishing Gane so quickly was very impressive, but wouldn't any world-class grappler have done that to Gane? Was that not a fantastic match-up for Jon?
