how to properly use jon jones?

[1212headkick]

i cant out side fight with him and his knees and body kicks are slow which sucks because he has a body kick perk. i can only seem to grapple with him his striking is wonky. i do have success mixing up his head and body kicks with spinning head and body kicks but missing is a death sentence and the tracking on the spin kicks is off i feel. cant body punch hes too slow

With the current mechanics you are better off using Daniel Cormier.

Before the patch, face to face, knee, elbows, clinch... And on top position on the ground he has very good stats.

After the patch I don't know if it is very dangerous throw knees-elbows because the hooks flurry can do a lot of damage.

Jon Jones is hard to use in this game. I’ve tried over and over but picking my shots with him is kinda hard. Good thing he has some decent ground stats and some good subs from certain positions that make him useful.

but overall he’s a lot harder to use when going up against a good DC user or even fighting someone like Glover Teixeira who has some great striking stats.

You cannot really fight the distance game in this game.

So you cannot really use jon jones.

Outside of grappling and knee spam.

I win with him in quick fight but not really in ranked. He’s slow and gets rocked easy it seems. Use his spinning elbow and oblique kick mainly mixing in lead hook rear elbow combo. I can’t get takedowns with him though

Re: how to properly use jon jones?

I can proudly say that I've never picked DC or JJ. But I heard JJ is not working as he should.

Clinch, ground, avoid DC like the plague.

Re: how to properly use jon jones?

i just tried using Jon Jones again in ranked and tried to strike with him but i suck. A DC user gave me an upper cut of death as i tried to throw a kick.

I give up using him and i lost 21 freaking points on the leaderboard!!!! 😡

The outside fighting style and counter fighting is not able to work well.

DC was super frustrated with Jones' length and strength in both fights

It doesn't work even little bit from beginning after patch.

Against DC it can be really annoying, but if you can keep him at range and use distance well you can strike with him. But remember striking is not really Jones strength...his grappling is.

Everything should be his strength outside of power

Jon Jones has great grappling stats and good subs from certain positions that make him a beast in the clinch and on the ground. The way it should be.

I’ve never been able to strike with Jon Jones in either UFC 2 or 3. He just feels to long for me. It’s the same feeling I get when using Neil Magny at WW. Sometimes the length of there reach can be a lil bit of a disadvantage.
