Jon’s weight was, um, unimpressive

How much “muscle” did Jones actually put on?

I would have guessed he previously walked around at 230lbs or so. And he weighed in at 248lbs, so he added 18lbs or so.

But that weight looked mostly in his gut and ass, as he said himself when he was with Bisping and others after the weigh in.

A year or two ago, I remember something like he put on 30lbs of muscle in 6 months. And he looked jack.

What happened? It looked like he just got “fat”, not jacked. Didn’t look like a lot of muscle was actually added.

A walking Pot belly with skinny limbs.

not UberJones like was expected
 
I really don't think jones trained that hard for this tbh. I think he's been partying his face off the last while and it's catching up to him.

Maybe he's gonna prove me wrong but I doubt it
 
Overeem was blasting roids post Pride and it still took him years. Now picture being in your mid 30s and being under the USADA microscope

In theory Gane is a bigger Dom Reyes with more power.

If Gane just goes after Jones skinny legs he might break Jones in two.

i guess we’ll find out.
 
haha, yea not the kind of boob threads I want to see.



Nice pic, definitely a huge, intimidating looking guy, but friendly when you speak to him.

Yeah, I saw him randomly at some metal show I got dragged to (I'm not a fan of metal)

So it was a very pleasant surprise seeing him.

He was really, really cool and friendly. Seemed really happy that I recognized him.
 
true.

it’s just that Jones has been saying he wanted to put on weight for this fight. And for a while, he was putting on muscle. Looks like all that muscle disappeared.

I know it’s hard to put on muscle as you age. But not impossible. I added about 20lbs of muscle approaching 40. Now in my forties, I am more jacked than ever.
It’s easy to build fluff, functional strength training doesn’t focus on hypertrophy like bodybuilding
 
He had a bit of excess fat I think, don't think he needs to weigh any more than 230 - 235lb with his frame and length. The strength is already there, he doesn't need the mass to compensate it's just going to hinder his movement.
