Thiago Santos......Anthony Smith....lots of puffed up middleweights on his record and two further LHW's that were undersized and moved down in Evans and Machida.
Just because YOU SAY everyone is on PED's doesn't make it true. Whereas it is a FACT that Jones is a PED cheat.
Cope better.
You do know that both Santos & Smith both moved up to LHW because they were nearly killing themselves to make 185, right? It's also not a surprise that their best performances came when they weren't cutting 20+ pounds to make 185, but sure, "puffed up middleweights".
So let me get this straight... Jon Jones beat two former LHW champions, both in their athletic primes, in the same division where they were considered the best in the world in... But they count as less because they eventually went down to 185? Albeit Rashad fought there twice as a last-ditch attempt to rejuvenate his career many years after fighting Jon Jones?
I mean, if you need "proof" about something for it to be true for you, I feel terrible for you in a way. In another, I'd love to live life and be so oblivious to everything. But hey, all the power to you. Despite there being tons and tons of documentation, both in writing and in documentaries, that the fallacy of drug testing and that it is complete & utter nonsense, if you want to hold on to the belief that just because there aren't any positive tests... Sorry to break it to ya, but the big cheaters don't get caught through testing. They get caught through people ratting them out. There are some, like Jon Jones & Chael Sonnen, who just aren't all that bright & never figured the shit out.
"Cope better"? Do you even know what that means? I am no fan of Jones Jones and his historical But I guess if all you have are ad hominem attacks, well...
Honest question: Who, exactly, did Jon Jones not fight during his reign? Phil Davis? Rumble Johnson? Does anyone in their right minds think either Mr. Wonderful or Rumble would have even had a chance against Jon Jones? How about Corey Anderson prior to leaving for Bellator or Jimi Manuwa? No chance in hell those are even competitive.
Who else? A trio of washed Tito Ortiz, washed Forrest Griffin or washed Rich Franklin? Maybe if we scrape far enough down the barrel, maybe the grossly overrated James te Huna, who got finished by every single meaningful UFC fighter he went up against? Or maybe Little Nog?
The truth is, people who claim that Jon Jones's resume is weak are being completely dishonest and are bad faith actors. He best nearly every single top LHW of his era and the vast majority of the time, the fights were one-sided.
