“It's all about John's worldview. In other words, how does he want to win? Because if his main goal is simply to win, then he will fight. We know that he is a good wrestler and has excellent jiu-jitsu skills. We also know that Cyril Gun demonstrated a huge hole in this area. On the other hand, Jones might be thinking, "Hey, I want to prove to people that I can beat guys at heavyweight just like I did at light heavyweight." Then we will see the fight on the feet with creativity and openness. The only problem is that if he plays this game, he may pay. For example, if Jones hits and misses and an opponent hits back, can Jones handle it the way he does at light heavyweight? I dont know. So it all depends on Jones' mindset. Still, I think he will want to make a statement with a landslide victory. He just wants to win and will probably do it," Blades said.
Recall that the confrontation between Jones and Gun will be held on March 4, and the vacant UFC heavyweight belt will be at stake.
