I heard he was walking at upwards of 240 around the Vladimir fight so imagine what he's like now. He should probably just consider fighting at heavyweight now. Maybe this fight will determine what happens next.
I would like to see him fight at HW, just because I'm a selfish fan and could say he was scared of DC.
I've never been a Bones fan, but he's going to come back strong or stronger than ever. The UFC does not need him, rather JBJ needs the UFC. Of course, the UFC certainly will make more money with Bones than without him.
I wish I was that good at my boring, white collar job.
Like using something to help him lose weight or something that helped him juice basically? I don't think it matters that much considering if he does walk around 240 he doesn't need that much more muscle to be a solid heavyweight. I personally don't understand why Forrest Griffin fought at light heavyweight considering that's very similar to what he walked around at towards the end of his career.
Jones is taking a gamble with such a massive muscle gain in a relatively short time ... it will probably negatively affect his weight cut, stamina, flexibility and grace of movement which was his biggest advantage. Like Mir immediately post the Brock loss.
Of course I could be wrong and it might give him massive power on top of his existing skillset, but I'm leaning towards the former.
Yes, I also think it's maybe not the best idea to go too much for more muscle mass. Those muscles will sap more oxygen big time. He'll have more power in the first rounds, but this is a big change in body, trading power for cardio. He was able to win against Gustafsson and Cormier because his cardio held up in the 4th and 5th, I'm not sure whether he could keep that up with that massive muscle increase.
I wonder if there are several other things that'll hold up as well like his speed. He is a big guy but when he's in shape at light heavyweight he's fast. Would that hold up with an extra thirty pounds of muscle on there.

Well he's doing it so only time will tell how this will affect him and I guess we'll see when he faces Daniel Cormier. And what would DC do lol? Anyways I could possibly see Jones just going straight to heavyweight.
because more of his weight is muscle mass and less is body fat?
I'm not one of the forum experts on weight cutting but isn't most of the water that gets cut in the muscles? would bigger muscles = ability to cut more?
Bones looks great, with that said I can tell the guy is 100% natural. He's not super vascular or doesn't have a protruding stomach or any real signs of steroid use. He is most likely taking these pics right after after his workout so he has a good pump going. I always love how I look for 30 minutes after my workouts, then I slowly deflate back to small

Damn, send your CV straight to WADA, man. Wonder how much money they would save with useless random tests, trips to other countries, labs... Just a quick look and voilá. :thumb02:
Anyway, did Anderson look roided to you in his last fight?
I seriously doubt that Jon Jones is currently weighing 228 right now in those pictures. Like I said he says he was cutting weight from 240 before the fight with Matyushenko fight. Personally I don't think he's any lighter.
This prisonyard gyms have certainly served him well in addition to touching his toes in the shower countless times.
Joking aside although he looks impressive, to an extent that means jack in MMA, I just want to see him back and see how the layoff has helped/hindered him.
This scares me cause Jones was so good before, will trying to add more strength to his game hinder him?
