I have only watched highlights of Jon Jones fights on youtube. I have to say, he looks pretty dangerous. I would also put my money on him.
I don't care what anybody says about Jones outside the ring. I know his life is a controversial one, but whose isn't? Almost all his opponents always bring up his past to try and get him off his game, but it always ends up the same. With them on the receiving end of a vicious ass whooping.
The challenger got the better in the first 2 round but Jones rebounded in the next 2 rounds which left the last round for the deciding factor. It looked like Jones couldn’t get his offense in the 5th round and Santos even with his shaky injured legs was able to get in his punches and even kicks. But in the end, the judges ruled a split decision. It was another bad decision for the -550 favorite to win when Santos had definitely scored better.
