After 4 tries were izzy got brutally koed twice and 1 decision lose and alex pereira getting old and Jo's reaction and speed getting slower at 35 years that's how he finally managed win in the 4th. Plus Alex was clearly understanding izzy in the 4th fight and wasn't careful. Peak alex pereira always has beat izzy even with the disadvantages of lack of experience.

Jones would likely get smoked. He's past his prime and even in his prime he had to cheat to stop DC. I really think if you examine everything about Jones, he's for sure in the highest echelon of fighters, but he's still widely overrated.

@@MrNatify I think it's all difference of opinion, personally. I think Jones is amazing, but his prime years are most certainly behind him. This is speculation, but it would appear that either he is avoiding an Aspinall fight for fear over his legacy, or the UFC are protecting his legacy because he's a fan favorite.
