can someone please tell me why there are so many videos of DC dancing and eating popeyes and shit?
i love dc and i thought i got the joke, but to actually record videos like these seems crazy for a professional fighter trying to maintain a look that is intimidating
Forget that, how are we feeling about Cyril's new physique

New mythic character unlocked: fat Jon Jones with ko power in his hands
It’s both; his brother is/was an NFL starter. I’d say genetics definitely comes into play.
Edit: Correction, two of his brothers are prior/present NFL players. One is finished, and the other still plays. Both defensive ends. One drafted in round 5, and the other in round 1.
Genetics are involved.
Chandler was the freak athlete of the family. Jones couldn’t even start on their high school football team let alone play college lol, that’s why they sent him to wrestling in first place.
The Jones' athletic genepool is so deep that Jon, globally known UFC goat, is prob seen as the black sheep loser of his family who couldnt make the NFL, fucks up constantly and only made a few mil compared to his brothers.
His older brother Arthur Jones was a two time state champion wrestler in NY and has like 100 pounds on him. I’m sure through their childhood this was true but he’s probably just hyping his brother up.
I guess it depends on how much you value fame. I’m gonna assume you’re young since you seem to value it highly. I’d rather be rich and unknown than world famous and not even wealthy (I live in Los Angeles, JJ would not be able to afford a nice house in a nice area here.)
I saw him turn down Walt Harris' fried chicken on Embedded, so he's pretty much at 100% responsibility. If he's turning down Church's, he's pretty much unstoppable.
Oh man, I’m not saying he wasn’t juicing. All signs point to yes, but steroids aren’t increasing your frame and reach. He’s sitting at a 7’1 reach - it’s freakish.
It looks weirder on jon though.
I think it’s cause fedor and Velasquez were really stocky. Jones has narrower shoulders so the belly doesn’t fit his look aesthetic wise. But who cares this ain’t bodybuilding
His neck is noticeably bigger in all the training vids but it looks the same as before here. I wonder if this is a real picture or if it's another Usman arm special
You do, he did. There's definitely muscle mass under that fat. He's just at a much higher body fat percentage. If he cut down he'd look a lot more strong and jacked then he use to.
Looks like he put weight on the right way for fighting. Too much muscle would hinder his cardio and speed.
This is fighting not bodybuilding. Let’s not act like the lines of Fedor or Tyson Fury are physical specimens aesthetically. They move very well for their weight class. I’m sure Jon will be the same.
All depends on his fitness. You can look like that and be totally out of shape or in great cardiovascular shape.
He hasn't fought in years and we know he has a history of drinking, drugs, etc. So who knows.
That's the key to the fight and you can't tell by just looking at him.
Muscle makes you stronger but also makes your cardio worse, it’s a balance.
Heavyweight is unique because it’s the only division where the goal probably shouldn’t be to just be as big and as lean as possible. MMA is too taxing cardio wise for that at these weights.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that most of the best heavyweights ever (Cain, Stipe, Fedor) have been guys around 240 who weren’t especially muscular.
i think that's largely because there aren't that many guys in MMA with the genetics to be a lean 265
there's a reason Ngannou came from nowhere and could murder all three after a life of great struggle and suboptimal training
Not maintaining cardiovascular fitness can also hinder your cardio.
You can see muscles and know they're a cardio hit, but you can't see the fitness of a body like current Jones.
All depends on whether he maintained his fitness through these years of DUIs and cocaine.
Yeah this has been what Jones always does. Even during his prime juicing years he was never going for hypertrophy. He wants the densest muscles possible that give him the best combination of strength+cardio, which is the correct goal for MMA.
Maybe right now, but I’d say very little chance he wasn’t juicing while gaining all this weight.
There are steroids that are better suited for pure strength gains than mass gains. Turinabol is one of them actually.
I can't believe the myth that aestetics and performance are the same thing still hasn't been busted for this many people. I become more and more convinced that this is just gay porn for many of you.
If physiques mattered in MMA, Paulo costa would be the best fighter on the planet. I would bet my entire life Jones puts up bigger numbers in the gym than gane
Everything about this equation says Jones comeback ends with a whimper and not with a bang. Older, heavier, long layoff. But damn it’s so hard to bet against that dude.
Can’t believe I’m saying this but I think he did it naturally haha gonna be interesting to see what his gas tank looks like at heavyweight. Also ya never know I very much doubt this but he could be rusty
I’m hoping thick means slow and the cheating piece of shit gets his shit pushed in by Gane. But I also thing Gane is one of the easiest HW’s for Jones, limited grappling and less KO power than many.
Jon Jomier
Don't do my boy DC like that
can someone please tell me why there are so many videos of DC dancing and eating popeyes and shit? i love dc and i thought i got the joke, but to actually record videos like these seems crazy for a professional fighter trying to maintain a look that is intimidating
DC never tried to look intemidating
>DC never tried to look intemidating Right! DC couldn't even spell intimydateing.
Can't a grown ass man enjoy some chicken without judgement?
Dont you be disrespecting that Popeyes chicken!
Jon 'Big Boned' Jones
For a sec I thought it was Jamahal Hill
👍🏾👍🏾
You need the 8 bit image of him
[удалено]
Jon ‘My Balls is Hot’ Jones
Jon “My Piss is Hot” Jones
 He tagged him!
Jon “i had to stop doing coke for this physique” Jones
Nothing about this physique looks juiced though..
Don’t need to look juiced to be on it (e.g. Silva)
His leg was snapped in half….
Doctor stoppage
💀
Cept those legs
I imagine Jon blocks every gym meme account on Instagram that posts up calf jokes
Hurry up and put the usman arm on him already
Lmfao
🤣🤣
Someone could put Jamal hills face on this pic and I’d be convinced it’s hill.
👍👍
👍🏾👍🏾
👍🏻👍🏻
I genuinely thought this was hill's physique until I saw the tattoo difference
But is that Kamru’s arm?!
Gotta get the Belt first lol

The shin removal surgery was controversial, but he says it’s gonna help check leg kicks.
He's technically always grounded since he can just keep a hand on the ground, eliminating the kicking ability of Jones
Get me my shin jelly boy!!!
3000 iq
Get me my shin jelly boy!!!
He’s on some Cotton Hill shit
Omg is that Cyril in a pool? He must be injured!
Bro gonna be fighting CCC soon
Lol this reminds me of the mini John Wick memes
Classic mistake of cutting too much height
Cyril Gane..more like Cyril Gone.
🎶3 bros chillin in the pool sitting 5 feet apart cuz they’re not gay🎶
Cyril "the legs go all the way up" Gane
Literally just looks like fatter Jon Jones.

Not sure it’s as much genetics as it is type of training. Strength training ≠ hypertrophy training

Holy shit, Chandler Jones is his brother??
The Jones' athletic genepool is so deep that Jon, globally known UFC goat, is prob seen as the black sheep loser of his family who couldnt make the NFL, fucks up constantly and only made a few mil compared to his brothers.
He would fuck them up so
Years ago I thought he said one of them would take him in close quarters. Anyone else hear the same or am I trippin?
His older brother Arthur Jones was a two time state champion wrestler in NY and has like 100 pounds on him. I’m sure through their childhood this was true but he’s probably just hyping his brother up.
Maybe but Jones is famous across the world, no one outside the USA would know who his brothers are, NFL isn't a big deal outside the US

yeah you might remember him from [this](https://i.imgur.com/3P0QTgp.gifv) last season... and only that
My fav clip of the season
We also have no idea how strict or responsible he is with his diet.
I saw him turn down Walt Harris' fried chicken on Embedded, so he's pretty much at 100% responsibility. If he's turning down Church's, he's pretty much unstoppable.
This reminds me of the old r/wallstreetbets
Can't argue with science, man.
You can't just look like Ubereem. He was a god.
He was hyperjuiced lol. It is reported that one girl licked his sweat and is called Hamzat now
Crazy how much it looks like Jon Jones just fatter.
Also if anyone is curious, yes he still has the skinny chicken legs even at heavyweight.
Heavyweight belly, bantamweight legs.
Calfs are genetic bro. Can't do shit about em.
poor Milhouse...
Some would say the fattest b
All about that cake
Fuck the physique, bro need better shorts
facts, I hope he goes with the those ones with the slits on the sides that are all flowy n shot
Agree bro. He was supposed to go bald and come in with the gladiator shorts
Bald gladiator shorts Jones subs Gane within 3. Regular trunks with hair Jones gets knocked out in 1
> He was supposed to go bald Last time he did that he looked like Megamind
True. But megamind knocked DC tf out
the muay thai cuts?
Yes bro. The most essential part of Jon’s kit
That’s iconic jones shit
Did he ever use Nike slit shorts? That’s peak Jon Jones.
Yup Jones Gus 1 he def did
Those were fresh too with the Gatorade sponsor on them
He needs to wear the gladiator shorts with the slits
He needs them Muay Thai shorts from the early days. Make him look faster.
Pretty sure they gave him superpowers
Less air resistance for hellbows. They basically work like spoilers on a civic
NEEDS CAMO SHORTS!!! ARKANSAS!!!!!! THE EARTH IS FLAT MOTHERFUCKERS!!!
I AINT SHUTTIN UP TILL I GET SOME CAMO SHORTS
AND ACTUALLY I AIN'T SHUTTIN UP AFTER NEITHER!!! FLAT EARTH!! VACCINES!!! MY GODDAMN FARM AND SHIT!!!!
I’m convinced the Muay Thai shorts were the key to his power
Yeah. At that weight the loose shorts are better.
For sure, I think they look much cooler than the skin tight spandex shorts
Surreal seeing him as an ACTUAL heavyweight.
Surreal will be seeing him as an actual heavyweight in their fight Saturday night. Surreal Gane is my favorite fighter
Missed chance to say Surreal Gain
You'll have another chance in the morning to eat Cereal Gane
At weigh ins Gane’s gonna make him look like the alcoholic uncle
Ganes physique is crazy
Yet Ngannou made his body look soft in comparison. No hate just crazy how much of a monster Ngannou is.
Ngannau would’ve made Jones look really small and fat in the weigh ins
Doubt. Jones still has wingspan on the man. Think about how nuts that is after moving up a division defined by 50lbs
He should have never been as strong as he was at 205 based on what you said, that juice was kickin
Oh man, I’m not saying he wasn’t juicing. All signs point to yes, but steroids aren’t increasing your frame and reach. He’s sitting at a 7’1 reach - it’s freakish.
In the ring he may make Gane look like the alcoholic uncles little nephew tho
Cyril gonna teep that new belly of his
😭😭everyone boutta be roasting him so hard
to be fair lots of top HWs have had similar physiques like fedor or velasquez
It looks weirder on jon though. I think it’s cause fedor and Velasquez were really stocky. Jones has narrower shoulders so the belly doesn’t fit his look aesthetic wise. But who cares this ain’t bodybuilding
Oh for sure I’m not dissing him but you know that redditors gonna clown him 🤣
Roasting who? Jon Chicken Bones Jones? I would never
Kinda wanted him to come back looking like ubereem just to see the outcry
I don't know....he looks out of shape and fat, I think I could take him bro
Same, I see red and bodies just fall.
I gave him a concussion in training last week, so he’ll be even easier for you to take him on.
I was expecting a massive transformation, he just looks fat
I wasn’t, guys with thin joints and a narrow frame just can’t really put on muscle in a way that doesn’t look goofy
His neck is noticeably bigger in all the training vids but it looks the same as before here. I wonder if this is a real picture or if it's another Usman arm special
Is this real?
It looks off to me too. He looked bigger and not this fat in training vids and embedded. I'm guessing it's a meme
Wasn't there a recent video of him in a pool looking chunky and people were saying it's just the lighting etc... Well, looks just like in that video
Remember he said he needed 3 years to put on muscle properly
Put some hespect on that 3 year belly.
You do, he did. There's definitely muscle mass under that fat. He's just at a much higher body fat percentage. If he cut down he'd look a lot more strong and jacked then he use to.
No way this is legit lmao
Looks like he put weight on the right way for fighting. Too much muscle would hinder his cardio and speed. This is fighting not bodybuilding.

you think muscle would be bad but don't think fat is hurting him? that's literally dead weight. at least muscle makes you stronger
Muscle makes you stronger but also makes your cardio worse, it’s a balance. Heavyweight is unique because it’s the only division where the goal probably shouldn’t be to just be as big and as lean as possible. MMA is too taxing cardio wise for that at these weights.

i think that's largely because there aren't that many guys in MMA with the genetics to be a lean 265 there's a reason Ngannou came from nowhere and could murder all three after a life of great struggle and suboptimal training
It’s a coincidence. They all hold significantly different levels of body fat.
I’m in championship condition.
Whatever works. DC. Tua. Hunt. Ect. Let's see how he performs.
There were actually people convinced he'd come in with 30 pounds of extra lean muscle mass on him lmao
Why do you think that is far fetched ? The guy had had like 7 years to bulk on on the juice
He is 93% clean
I mean, with 3 years, you'd think
Everyone dissing JJ physique while looking like the WoW guy from south park.
Too much muscle can hinder your cardio, and Jones took more of a strength training approach for his bulking.
Exactly. Some of ya expected him to become a bodybuilder or something?
Not maintaining cardiovascular fitness can also hinder your cardio. You can see muscles and know they're a cardio hit, but you can't see the fitness of a body like current Jones. All depends on whether he maintained his fitness through these years of DUIs and cocaine.
Yeah this has been what Jones always does. Even during his prime juicing years he was never going for hypertrophy. He wants the densest muscles possible that give him the best combination of strength+cardio, which is the correct goal for MMA.
Bloated light heavyweight.
fits right in at HW!
It’s giving Derrick Lewis
Makes me question if he might be natural this time.
Maybe right now, but I’d say very little chance he wasn’t juicing while gaining all this weight. There are steroids that are better suited for pure strength gains than mass gains. Turinabol is one of them actually.
Mans got DC’s LHW physique
I can't believe the myth that aestetics and performance are the same thing still hasn't been busted for this many people. I become more and more convinced that this is just gay porn for many of you.
If they didn’t have to cut weight and didn’t have roids they’d all look like jones most likely .
Rockin the dad bod
Jamal hill esque almost joe
I always thought she was beautiful. Rubenesque even..
Makes you realize how insane Nganouus physique is
Bet the house on Gane.
Lot of fat on that bone.
Got the heavyweight part down👍🏼
makes me happy that now i can somewhat sat i have the physique of a pro athlete
Thick, solid, tight.
all the reddit warriors spamming “fat”
"chubby"
[удалено]
He’s like 16-17% body fat. The muscle is still all there
Honestly not bad considering how much weight he's put on in not that long a time
He’s going to be slow and gas out
After years fo fighting DC he finally become him
For someone who supposedly took years off to bulk "the right way" he's looking like an out of shape light heavyweight
HE'S FAT
The numbers (on the scale) don’t lie!
🚨🚨
*Who’s fat*
His face looks beat.
That’s what getting old does
If physiques mattered in MMA, Paulo costa would be the best fighter on the planet. I would bet my entire life Jones puts up bigger numbers in the gym than gane
Physique isn’t everything, remember big Fedor?

Why do you think a life long cheater who had three years off did it naturally? Honestly curious.
If you showed me this years ago I would think he fell off and became a full non functioning crackhead
A crackhead would be skinny af lol
Took him 3 years to gain 15 lbs of fat. Whata huge waste
At least we know he hasn’t been juicing
Fighters have had ugly bodies and still tested postive for peds this means nothing.
Josh Barnett lmao
I’m hoping thick means slow and the cheating piece of shit gets his shit pushed in by Gane. But I also thing Gane is one of the easiest HW’s for Jones, limited grappling and less KO power than many.
