Guy doesn’t even look like he ever went to the gym. Was he this normal looking during his “athlete” days too?
They had this pic of Jones and Valentina posing together in the pre event I can seriously say Valentina had more muscular legs but at least Jones has an upper body that looks like it was tuned in a gym and (lot of ) pharmacies. Reyes look like a total non athlete in the Sherbro eye test
Yes of course he lifts. Most guys in the UFC are natural now,when you are doing excessive MMA training you cant be too jacked,its just physically impossible. Unless you have one in a billion genes like Romero or Francis.
Most fighters don’t lift on a regular basis Because a lot of lifts are useless in a fight and adding on too much muscle can be a detriment
I think Jon’s going to be surprised by the level of athleticism of a guy like Dominic who played baseball in jr high and football in highschool.
I disagree. His torso looks unspectacular, but he hardly looks like he doesn't lift at all. His arms are quite big for an MMA fighter tbh. EDIT: he has rather muscular legs (especially quads) for an MMA fighter as well:
Yeah. It's just something people say. I'm guessing his opponents have probably thought about any advantage they can get against him. Also. On Sherdog muscles somehow make bones more resilient.

Nah he just goes on the exercise bike for a few minutes and complains about how hard it is. That's the entire extent of his training, I watched the embedded. Easy work for Jones.
That's genetics though, we know Jones lifts weights and is strong regardless. Take a look at every premier level athlete playing WR and CB in the NFL, and tons of basketball players who can elevate and dunk on an 11 foot rim if they had to. Tons of those guys are stick legs, small ankles, skinny legs. It's just a genetic build, high ass, skinny legs. Tends to be the GOAT genetics for being very fast or explosive, or cutting, generally. Usain Bolt probably has skinny ass legs too.
