Media Heavyweight Jon Jones Fight week picture

[Serge421]

That's creatine for you

 

[TriangleMonkey]

His hips/core looks thicker for sure

I dont know if he will be as dynamic being thicker, this fight with how Gane knows and moves his body is very interesting

 

[Paironj56]

Looks like a body full of functional muscle..

Opposed to blow up show muscles..

Just saying...could be wrong ...

Also thats clearly no pump jones...he could of atleast done some push ups before the shot was taken lol

he looks like the average fat guy dad bod lol

 

[DjolexMTL]

I'm not a die hard Jones fan, but the amount of casuals here is troubling

You guys expected him to look like Ronnie Coleman? He looks solid for a heavyweight

 

[Evenflow80]

Hes not fat or anything, but he looks exactly like he always did before cutting down to 205.

What exactly did he need those 3 years for?

 

[Wreckless]

Terrible picture tbh.

Heres a screenshot from embedded. Looks pretty fucking good to me.

This doesn't even make sense as a defence.

Jailton Almeida is a guy who straddles the weight classes, and it doesn't take him 3 years to bulk every time he wants to fight at heavyweight.

How he looks matters very little. What matters is how fast he is with the added weight, how much functionally stronger he will be, and where his cardio is at.

Well, it ain't a horsemeat transformation, that's for sure.

Use your brain sherbro.
I'll break it down for you
What does muscle mass take? Blood. What does blood do? flow.
What does blood flow take? Oxygen
What does fat take?
Absolutely nothing, it's dead weight.
Look at Cain.
Look at DC
Both had phenomenal cardio
They didn't need to fuel unnecessary muscle mass that didn't benefit their fight style. Yet they carried fat that was used as a tool to impose weight on their opponent.
Doubt either were natural, but for the sake of devil's advocate, let's say they were.
Jones style is very flowly. He's constantly in motion. He also needs to be able to engage in grueling grappling with fast timing to counter all the fast twitch gane presents.
Tldr
It makes no sense for Jones to go full picto and become a body builder at this weight class.

if you are going to post a meaningless random picture at least shop it to make it funny

 

[icemun]

Wait, he took THREE years for that?

But after three freaking years? Three years he said he was bulking up proper. Three years.

There's absolutely no way that took 3 years unless it had to be a 3 year absence.

Dude's who have NEVER worked out.

This is the USADA era

Fighters are relegated to whey protein, creatine and maybe picos of steroids at most.

The days of HORSEMEAT HW gainz are GONE

WTF does that have to do with Jailton Almeida, or Daniel Cormier, or anyone else who easily competed at LHW and HW?

This is a word salad.

What's different for one of the biggest LHW's in UFC history, and why couldn't he compete at HW within 3 years?

lol butthurt that your hero looks like the average dad bod and should not even be sanctioned to fight Gane because it's going to be basically a public execution?
This is by far the biggest title fight mismatch in ufc history.

I know right? He sure sounded serious about bulking up right over these years to fight at HW...

Are you incapable of reading words?
I literally just said why lol
His bulking process, combined with personal issues and negotiations.
He's been ready to fight for awhile now. So it didn't take 3 years either.

What happened in pre-USADA days is irrelevant.

Jones doesn't look like Overeem, and never will, nobody ever will, it's not a natural physique.

But fighters routinely operate at LHW and HW post-USADA and don't need 3 years in absentia 'to bulk up'.

It's ridiculous.
