Physique doesn't matter, functional strength does and Jones has it from training the past 15-20 years of his life.

Lesnar looks two weight classes bigger

 

[WalterSobchak]

He’s pushing his gut out intentionally. You can drive 50 cheeseburgers in that thing Randy.

Physiques are the best indicator of whether a figher is in good shape or not. That's the difference between someone like Roy Nelson or Jon Jones on the one hand, and Michael Chandler or GSP on the other.

Jon is in his third trimester.

Have to take it back Jon looks fine on the scale the photo in this thread was altered. At 250 he doesn't have a 6pack but no gut either.

I forgot MMA was a bodybuilding competition.

The better question is was this the best method?

like Francis, Stipe, and even Cyril seems to have more muscle mass on their frame.

Whereas Jones is taking more of a DC route,

Different body types. Again, muscle mass doesn't equal absolute strength. Strength is neurological adaptation.

Weird how many men are obsessed with 1 mans physique.
Oh and yes....I'm assuming most of you are men

CIS men?

 

[BruceyD]

CIS men?

Sure. Either will do lol

 

[Conan the K-9]

Here is a 6.3ft , 232 lb Jailton Almeida for comparison.
Jones has that 15lbs more fat at least and it is not like it’s easy to move with that extra passive weight.

Sure. Either will do lol

You dirty, dirty boy.

Jon Jones has skinny thighs as well. His entire leg is skinny and he is naturally thin boned. Skinny thighs and calves are more vulnerable to attacks through kicks than muscular thighs and calves that can resist them. Muscular thighs form a barrier to protect the bone underneath. I don't buy the hype of his squating strength when his thighs don't look muscular at all either as all of the video footage I have seen of him squatting is doing those half-squats where there are bars that stop his squats half way through with 3 or 4 plates on each side. He also usually does not put the bar across his shoulder, but instead holds the bar in his arms while doing squats. That also reduces the difficulty in going down in squats. Also, having skinny legs makes the center of gravity much higher (as Jon Jones has a pot belly where he a good part of 40 lbs).

While he does not have to worry about being taken down by Gane, Jones is more vulnerable to takedowns at heavyweight by other strong competitors who have really good wrestling. Skinny legs are also easier to get a hold of during a takedown than tree trunk legs that will have more "counter weight" and harder to wrap the arms around.

Put it altogether. Gane weighs the same as Jones at 250 lbs. However, Gane looks a lot bigger and with a completely balanced physique top to bottom. Both have similar height. What does that say? Gane is naturally a bigger competitor with bigger bones and muscular frame. I am not saying Gane is going to beat Jones. Just saying he has the natural advantage has he is the bigger, more muscular and more thick boned competitor.






Come on! Larry wheels is like Arnold. Tall and has proportionally smaller legs than his upper body, but his legs are still damn huge. No one can call these legs "skinny". Jon Jones has skinny thighs with no muscles or anything on them. Completely different.

Jon jones has been able to take down guys with far thicker legs than him his entire career

basing the entire argument on leg strength is so dumb


Btw skinny leg fighters have done surprisingly well in ufc (bones, Silva, Izzy)

this isn’t a body building competition. Jones is clearly strong as an ox

 

[Southpoor97]

Btw I think Gane will win but not because he has bigger legs lmao

 

[JustforBROCK]

Yet Jon will be significantly stronger than him. You sound like you have a Gane poster above your bed

And you sound like you've got a picture of Jones framed on your bedside table. Fans will be fans.
