Jon Jones Looked Soft At Weigh In

[Casio Bioassay]

If he didn't build muscle, why is he fighting a weight class up?

I'm not saying he hasn't built any muscle. I'm saying he was training for strength. And specifically strength without ballooning up which would slow him down and fuck his gas tank.

I thought he was infamous for not taking training seriously...

No he does. He’s pushed certain narratives to fit promoting fights. But he def trains hard.

Road house reboot

What are you basing this on? I don't know whether Jones plans to rely on techniques that depend heavily on strength. I know he hasn't in the past. I do know he'll need mass to not get tossed around by HW opponents. And I have a hard time believing Jones was pumping the breaks on gains. He doesn't look like someone who packs mass easily, especially in his lower body.

I was surprised that JBJ looked soft, especially around the middle.
To me, it brings up a concern about training and preparation.
I thought that he was an easy bet , prior to seeing him.
He had 3 years to put on decent heavyweight muscle. Hollyfield did it in a year and a half, when he moved up from cruiser weight .
Honestly Jon just looks like he put fat on, but not muscle.

Probably because "The Preacher's Daughter" wasn't around to get him hard and full.
