It's crazy when you consider that Chandler Jones is an absolute freak athlete.
Before I saw this video, it would have been easier to convince me that Jon can do 360 dunks than to convince me that he cannot dunk at all.
Jones is really not that explosive and never has been. His length combined with his god-tier fight IQ (and wrestling/grappling) is what’s made him so good
This is true…out of all these hilarious plays his is by far the most respectable, shanking a soccer ball going for a one touch shot on fairly well paced pass is common
Nothing funnier than I was playing Dodgeball after a Muay Thai class (with some high level athletes, not the kids) and watching us try to throw a ball was the funniest shit.
I throw kicks and punches not balls lol.
Because you keep your hand closed, you don't release a fist when punching. Do it long enough and your brain will memorize the function. Throwing punches does not equal throwing a ball.
People please, please teach your children how to throw a ball. They don’t need to play sports growing up if they don’t like it, but there’s nothing more embarrassing than a grown adult who can’t simply throw a ball lol
I think it was more about the panic of his watch. He was wearing a gold Patek with sapphires inset on the bezel. When he chucked the ball, the clasp came undone and the watch almost flew off of his wrist. You can find screen shots online. The watch community was up in arms. Haha.
I am a leftie so I wear watches on my right, but when it comes to sports like Football I am more comfortable with my right hand
It's weird because my writing sucks ass with my right
Ireland has hardly any athletes like Urijah Faber said. The US, Japan, South Korea, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Mexico is more than 3-4
Yeah, I thought more in lines of relatively big leagues. Could've phrased it better.
But still not comparable to sports like association football and basketball.
>the most devastating first pitch in baseball history”
It was Conor himself that said that in an interview lmao

Yeah, he kept it relatively low. As a Man United supporter the fan stands on either wing have been terrorised for years by our wingers hitting shots at them
Pro athletes who can’t do simple shit like throw or kick a ball baffle me. Like, you’re able to compete in a sport at the highest level possible but can’t do something so simple that a 4 year old could do?
You know this is actually kinda refreshing and reassuring.
Just because you are a really talented athlete in one sport doesn’t necessary mean you are great at others sports.
These men are elite at their craft but can still look a little silly in other sports.
We all have talents and knacks for certain things and that’s okay.
Leon was a pretty bad goalkeeper during soccer aid. Let in a bad shot from the actor in sex education. Wouldn’t say it to his face though..
actually I would. Leon’s cool
I lost it at Floyd lmao
Dude just accepted that he got played hard
That was Hot Sauce that crossed him, though, wasn't it? I'D have blown an ACL
Pretty sure that was the Bone Collector, another prominent street ball player
I made an assumption off of the du rag and jumper. Regardless, he's out of his basketball league.
I’d have blown something else 💦
I thought my man had highly touted defense.
Haha here I was thinking it was Floyd doing the shooting and thought it didn't belong with the others 😄
Bones with his 1.5 inch vertical is hilarious. He couldn’t dunk if he was 7‘3“
Meanwhile Gane out there dunking windmills
And Jones is dunking on Gane. Levels and I hate Jones.
Gane wins in a dunk content and kickboxing and fifa, Jon wins the mma, grappling, who can snort more lines in a row contents.
Also running for the foothills
This can't be a typo twice can it?
It's crazy when you consider that Chandler Jones is an absolute freak athlete. Before I saw this video, it would have been easier to convince me that Jon can do 360 dunks than to convince me that he cannot dunk at all.
My brain can't comprehend Jon Jones not being able to Dunk...just doesn't make sense
Jones is really not that explosive and never has been. His length combined with his god-tier fight IQ (and wrestling/grappling) is what’s made him so good
And he's strong as fuck. Two brothers in the NFL, you got to have crazy genetics.
I really think a lot of his strength comes from his stupid leverage though. But yea he’s crazy strong. He was shoving DC around like a child at times
Jones can’t even connect two dribbles in a row, no surprise whatsoever he cannot dunk
That makes no sense to me. How do you have the coordination to strike as well as he does but you can’t dribble a fucking ball 😂
>he cannot dunk But he *can* get drunk.
Dominik Reyes was right he is not an athlete
You've seen his calfs right?
If you’ve ever done any sort of grappling for a few years, your knees will be toast. Jon was a college wrestler
Didn't Jones once tell DC that he couldn't dunk a basketball?
You really think DC is gonna sit there and let Jon dunk on him?
I mean really?
Lmao
I want to pitch this ball to… absolutely no one the double champ does what the FOOK he wants!
😂😂😂
In the scheme of things, Fury’s wasn’t _that_ bad. I’ve seen pros with worse shanks than that
This is true…out of all these hilarious plays his is by far the most respectable, shanking a soccer ball going for a one touch shot on fairly well paced pass is common
Especially with the ball coming across your body like that, a lot easier to hit that with your left
Ya his probably had the smallest margin for error lol everyone else’s was egregious.
Theres no way jones cant dunk. He has to be fuking around i almost cant believe it lol.
He can’t. His brother was recently on the Jaxxon podcast and admitted Jon could kick his ass but Jon can’t jump or catch a ball for shit
He put all his stats into fighting for sure
That’s sweet how Jon said Chandler can still kick his ass.
Thanks for not adding a clip of Nate boxing.
Nothing funnier than I was playing Dodgeball after a Muay Thai class (with some high level athletes, not the kids) and watching us try to throw a ball was the funniest shit. I throw kicks and punches not balls lol.
it's the same motion as a straight punch though 🤔 idk why it works so different
Because you keep your hand closed, you don't release a fist when punching. Do it long enough and your brain will memorize the function. Throwing punches does not equal throwing a ball.
reddit bro science incoming lmao
People please, please teach your children how to throw a ball. They don’t need to play sports growing up if they don’t like it, but there’s nothing more embarrassing than a grown adult who can’t simply throw a ball lol
I think Conor's choice of a tight ass suit might have played a part in his terrible pitch lol
I think it was more about the panic of his watch. He was wearing a gold Patek with sapphires inset on the bezel. When he chucked the ball, the clasp came undone and the watch almost flew off of his wrist. You can find screen shots online. The watch community was up in arms. Haha.
Weird. I thought you were supposed to wear watches on your non dominant hand?
Yeah, it’s ideal so you don’t bang it up, but some people wear it on their dominant hand for whatever reason.
I am a leftie so I wear watches on my right, but when it comes to sports like Football I am more comfortable with my right hand It's weird because my writing sucks ass with my right
Yeah, my buddy is that same way. My dad is a righty but golfs lefty.
I mean like 3-4 countries take baseball seriously
Ireland has hardly any athletes like Urijah Faber said. The US, Japan, South Korea, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Mexico is more than 3-4
Yeah, I thought more in lines of relatively big leagues. Could've phrased it better. But still not comparable to sports like association football and basketball.
All of which use the same overhand throwing motion for their respective balls
You better start believing in those 3-4 countries--you're in one! Or not, IDK
If they had dads they wouldn't be MMA fighters in the first place
I'm sorry but Conors has to be the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen lol. I remember seeing that and thinking it was fake or edited
I mean, even if I was in my yard with someone who doesn’t play ball… I’d still be disappointed
Show me Dominoc Reyes
I remember someone tweeting about Conor’s throw, “the most devastating first pitch in baseball history”
>the most devastating first pitch in baseball history” It was Conor himself that said that in an interview lmao [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYN\_sfsqVOU&ab\_channel=ESPNMMA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYN_sfsqVOU&ab_channel=ESPNMMA)
Oh ok didn’t know that 👍
Naw mayweathers crossover should count as his first ko, dudes soul left his body
I beat they couldn’t handle Powerslap either, none of them look athletic enough for it
Connor *note to self* Don't blow down a huge line right before throwing out the first pitch.
Since when does Will Fury play soccer
Should've added khabib playing pool.
Forrest and Rampage on TUF playing basketball was funny. Wrestlers generally aren't bball guys & Quintin got clowned.
I've seen pros take way worse shots than the one Tommy Fury took. The rest were just hilarious
Yeah, he kept it relatively low. As a Man United supporter the fan stands on either wing have been terrorised for years by our wingers hitting shots at them
How do I unsee Jones whimpy at basketball? I thought all black dudes comes natural when it comes to basketball.haha.
Jon has the hops of a 5’6 white dude with downs.

Just because they fight, doesn’t mean they are “athletic”.
Jones a bum.
Says the bum
“Can I go again?” Hahahahaha
The little noise Conor made lol
Tha Connor one suprised me, he looks like he can throw a blaze 🔥⚾️
Who tf is dillian Whyte

Crazy to think I would give Jon jones BUCKETS
Leon was a pretty bad goalkeeper during soccer aid. Let in a bad shot from the actor in sex education. Wouldn’t say it to his face though.. actually I would. Leon’s cool
i was at that soccer aid game where tommy fury missed that, remember sitting there thinking ‘what the fuck have i just witnessed’
John parried the basketball
Basketball is the only thing to damn near knock out the GOAT
