Its not even ground game, Greco Roman wrestlers will work you in the clinch. Thats why Jone's grappling has been so dominant. Most guys are on the cage usually trying to stall or work a takedown. Jones is there looking for a choke.

Thats how he got Machida
just like the machinda choke, you couldnt really tell how locked in it was until the replay, i still remember machidas body hitting the canvas

Cyril Gane was and is not the best heavyweight.
Styles make fights, Gane probably beats every other HW on the roster.
Gane's weakness just happens to be Jon's biggest strength.
Also, I think Gane got psyched out facing Jones, its like guys in SF4 making mistakes fighting Justin Wong.
Some legends have that effect on their opponents.

Does anybody know the full extent of the damage done to Jon Jones toe? I don’t wanna say that injury slowed him down throughout his career but that’s the first I think I’ve seen him tape it up in a fight.

I doubt now bro....I see why Francis beat him with 1 leg, Cyril is just a pure stand up fighter, he needs to leave his gym in order to be a champ because his coach only does stand up....this ain't kickboxing man

IM not sure if he was intimidated or not but he fought an awful fight and as great as Jones is i cant judge his jump to HW based on that lol...

Thats the funny thing then why are you backing up and giving Jones a chance to use his legs...i understand not wanting to get taken down but his path to being competitive was keeping at close range and throwing hands which is the one thing Jones isnt great at...he willingly gave up his only advantage...
