Your opinion - Was Jones on PEDs during the first fight with DC?

[Jack Reacheround]

And the one fight he didn't pop hot, against OSP, he looked like shit.

I honestly think that may have more to do with the layoff and the fact that OSP also has a condor like wingspan. But it is also very possible he tried to fight clean as well.

I just don’t know if he was on steroids in the first fight with DC. But my guess is he probably was. It isn’t as if he just decided that for the second fight, he was going to try steroids. He probably has been on them for his whole UFC career if not his whole pro career, or possibly longer. But he probably would do almost as well without them given his ridiculous reach.

He was in the best shape because he was weightlifting for a year.

I'm aware he weightlfted hard prior to that fight. That was what people initially said contributing to him looking "off", and what his coaches also warned him against. And then he slimmed off too and looked better once more.

So, your narrative is that since he was clean for the OSP fight, that means he was clean for every fight before that.

That's not my narrative at all. I'm not saying he was clean or not clean for that fight or any other fight. I've never claimed that.

I'm pointing out it's dumb and convenient to say that fight was the only fight he was clean, which is what many do. There's nothing to say that except their narrative.

yes, physically he was more muscular..

but was his cardio the same?
was his weight cut/recover the same?
was his confidence the same?

We have nothing to indicate otherwise than yes, everything was the same.
