Media Versez' Jon Jones vs. Cyril Gane Mega Thread of Random Thoughts

Jon isnt an idiot (in terms of mma), he wouldnt be taking the fight if he didnt feel he was ready. He dropped the LHW title and took his time getting ready

Well the fact that he has never been seen CLEARLY shirtless is a sign that there is something not quite right with his physique

Two embedded have already come out and he hasn't seen himself in full length yet

He appears to have put a lot of muscle mass on his front shoulders and back but his chest and abs are saggy

Gay lol

He's quite obviously put on some size but didn't want to bulk up too much muscular wise which would affect any speed advantage he might have coming up from LHW.

It's fine.

He looks like a couch potato who has never set foot in a gym.
 
He looks a little softer,but nothing "alarming"

They DO make it a point to not film him from the front too much though.

Chael sonnen said that maybe Jon jones is coming back from an injury , and this is why he’s doing a lot of swimming lessons. It is light on training and the body. Something is off , I have a nick Diaz 2021 return vibe here.

Wouldn't swimming be great cardio? I'm no expert.

It's actually for the undisputed championship ! Francis isn't coming back, not as a champ at least.

Physique doesn't mean a whole lot in a fight, look at Ben Askren dominating juiced up Russians in ONE.

Being large and ripped is super hard for effective cardio. Carrying some body fat at heavyweight is not problematic. That being said, does it look like Jon could be in better shape? Yes. Does his physique imply he won’t be in optimal fighting condition? No - not in the slightest.
 
He doesn’t have a terrible physique. It’s just…not good either.

Like, I know multiple guys at my local small town gym who are a comparable size to Jones and have better physiques. Which is fine, but if you’re a pro athlete that is a known juicer…I would expect more.

The bigger concern to me is that his body looks to be getting worse. He used to be jacked, now he looks fatter and like his shoulders are more rounded over and stuff. That probably tells us he’s physically declining, even with whatever supplements and training he’s doing.
 
Dude has put on mass, doesn't have to worry about cutting weight. Maybe he's injured, but picking up a weighted break 15 ft underwater aint no small task. Doing it multiple times is no small task.

He doesn't look lean, but he looks like how I'd expect a person to look who wants to gain mass, not be weighted down by massive muscles, but still have good cardio and strength. Cain Velasquez is fluffy as hell, but he's the best HW I've seen in the UFC.

I haven’t actually watched Countdown or any Embedded vids so far. I was going to wait for Thursday or Friday and watch them all in a row. So I don’t actually know what he looks like right now.

The fact of the matter is you don't get to see much in either vid. If he had came looking like Ngannou, trust me, we would've seen it. He probably looks like Gustafsson when we saw him at HW: pretty much the same, with more cheeks, with less muscle definition, and a bit more pudgy around the waistline.
