And that's what gave Jones that Uber confidence, and ability to keep throwing, and not secodj guessing anything. He just threw strike after strike after strike, at a rate that a clean fighter his size just shouldn't be able to throw, and keep up the pace with.
He needed the juice to have that winners mentality, and confidence that he was gonna win. Off of it, his confidence goes down the drain, and he would be second guessing himself, and not pulling the trigger as much, not only from the PED effect, but also not feeling super human, and having that edge of PEDs that "protected" him and his psyche.
I was always damn impressed with just how confident Jones was, as if he just couldn't lose. He had that, I know I'm beating you, vibe, because of the power pellets.
And to the people that say he didn't need it. You guys truly don't understand how much PEDs help the mentality, and psychology of a fighter. It gives them that reassurance through impossible and terrifying scenarios that fighters have to go through, and gives them that blind faith if just going in there, and doing what they do.
It changes everything. When a fighter isn't on PEDs, it completely crushes their confidence, and all those humna fears rears its ugly head at the worst times, and hinder the fighter from performing at their maximum effort, and potential.
I forgot which fighter it was that describef what it's like to know you're in PEDs, and to know you're not, and how daunting it is when you're used to that advantage, and cruch of PEDs. Damn, I wish I could find that video, or podcast, whichever it was, but they really described it perfectly the difference between the 2 scenarios.
I'm almost 100% certain Jones doesn't beat DC without PEDs.
