Jones Gane physique comparison

[Here's Johnny!]

bro you see powerlifters with arms and legs this skinny please post them

To be fair powerlifters are usually like 6 ft 1 330+ pounds and much fatter than Jon here. not 6 ft 4 245 with a pot belly.

Literally genetics


Very unassuming as well. I've seen other pics, video, he holds a lot of weight in his quads, hams and glutes.

His numbers are solid. Pretty sure he pulls like 650

Spot on. I was thinking the same, body shape means nothing, particularly at HW.

A bit of fat isn't a bad thing.

Pretty common in a lot of elite NFL guys

 

[Bradillac]

Guaranteed Jon is going to be stronger with better cardio than Gane.

Again, he didn't train for aesthetics to please the gay community of Sherdog.

Kinda looks like he didn't train, just did a bunch of swimming. He has swimmer's fat

Yeah Greg Hardy wasn't exactly ripped when he ran thru the HW division like a locomotive

At least Diaz looks like Russell Crowe there. Jones looks like some average nobody.

Jones should've gotten back on t-bol

This is a YOUNG MAN’s sport.
Gane is youthful, bigger, probably stronger, and has way less Mileage on his body.

I think this fights ends horribly for JBJ, some freakish accident like the toe snapping again or checked kick gone wrong.

you see any powerlifter or strongmen with physiques like him?



look at jones' arms and legs they are not big and strong by any metrics

Didn’t they say that about him as a wrestler when he was out-wrestling guys like Bader, Rashad and DC? It’s doesn’t make sense he’s not the prototype wrestler body blah blah.

I actually seen guys at powerlifting and strongman events that are really strong with bodies that don’t look that way. I’ve seen guys that look like WWE wrestlers struggle with dips and pull-ups (struggle with virtual strength and absolute strength that’s nothing spectacular). I’ve seen fat strong guys win more times than guys who look good.

Jones seems to be pretty strong and deceptive in his body type, always had been. He’s one of the few guys who you actually see training transparently like that. I think Gane is an absolute athletic monster. But I wouldn’t be shocked if when it comes to like pushing a prowler, doing yoke walks, carries and compound lifts he’s below Jon by a bit everywhere. Body doesn’t matter. I bet when they face off Jon might look as big or bigger where it’s needed and functional.

I been picking Gane all along but this crusade to dismiss Jones based on how he looks is pretty stupid. He looks pretty strong and explosive from what I’ve seen. He looks more like his brothers now who aren’t exactly scrubs athletically.

When Jon fought Vitor I was amazed by how jacked and menacing Vitor looked and how skinny and awkward Jon was. Then Jon tossed him around like a child. DC had to be pushing 230lb when Jon took him for a sky ride and slammed him and Jones was like 221lb. I’m sure he’s strong and just fine.

Jones needs a new nickname

Jon "Foam" Jones

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

Jon "The Bloat Goat" Jones

 

[Jarvan]

Both look big and strong.

You're naive if you think a 250lbs HW always needs to have a six pack to be conditioned well.

And you're ignorant if you think that that's what should be expected of working out for three years with a millionaire's budget should look and perform.

I honestly question the coaches.

he also said he bench over 500, like lifter knows what a guy who bench over 500 pull over 600 looks like
i don't believe him for a second

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Looks like a guy that used to be an athlete and got called off the couch to fight this weekend. I mean physique isn't everything but Gane actually looks like he belongs at heavyweight while Jones looks like he ate himself up to that weight.

No clue where you heard that 500 bench number.


But there's been videos of him on the net doing big squat and deadlift numbers for years

It's just genetics. There's a reason why he's called bones.

Dadbod Jones is born.

jones is huge. should be a good fight.

 

[Southpoor97]

Purely physique wise, Gane looks like hs is carved out of granite and he actually has tree trunk legs. Not toothpick legs and a fat gut. Looks like all of the 40 lbs for Jones went straight to his gut.

Big legs aren’t useful in mma.

A lot of the dominant fighters have smaller legs (calves) because slim calves work better for fighting - Silva, Izzy, Jones, usman
