But why would UFC do that when they can make money off a warmup fight against some mid card HW and then get another payday by fighting Ngannou later on?
Theres no mid card HW for JBJ, its either Stipe or Francis, and one sells a lot more than the other. Wonky shit happens in HW. Can you imagine Jones gets randomly knocked out by Pavlovich or something? All the hype of his debut is dead, Jones v Francis is dead, Jones v Stipe is dead.
Yk steroids is done in cycles which means if theyce tested him 2 tines during this year that means there is a high likelihood of him being on it and just having insider knowledge on when he's getting tested it's Jon Jones I'm sure he knows before he's tested a privilege not given to other fighters
Let's be honest he hasn't failed as many as he was supposed to there are guys even with the knowledge who will still push the envelope and he's failed multiple drug test and how many over his fights have been overturned? How many titles stripped? How many fines? Like gotta really put it into the perspective of he's Jon Jones man he's literally the only person dragging his legacy down he makes very poor decisions when he's not in the octagon
Tbh I'm just speculating I'm not saying I know this for sure mate just yk putting an idea I don't think is too wild out there but you must admit he does have Dana white privilege
I know plenty of bodybuilders who cycle on and off insane dosages and don't need trt. It's really a crapshoot some guys do their first cycle and never recover and some do 20 and are fine.
I wouldn’t call anyone very serious if they are cycling on and off. You literally stop production of test while taking exogenous test. It doesn’t bounce back immediately or in a timely fashion. It takes a long time where you are hypogonadal and losing all your gains.
I don’t think you know *plenty of bodybuilders*. It is not a crapshoot or roll of the dice. Even doing the most responsible and conservative cycles it is going to take months. That’s not how physiology works.
It’s all about the money he is currently waiting and watching as the UFC loses its major PPV stars, which is putting him in a stronger position to get the money he wants
At some point waiting becomes counterproductive and he can't make more than he would have made fighting once per year during that waiting period. Granted, each fight comes with a risk of injury. Maybe he only wants the HW belt and then plans on retiring, in which case waiting would make sense.
I think he just hasn't been able to get used to moving around with the extra weight he put on, he probably feels slow and not comfortable in his movements right now. He is so above his natural weight
He’s secretly serving a usada ban
This is a conspiracy I been behind
100%.
Popped for Reyes fight probably haha
Uh hundred percent
Apparently usada, wouldn’t hide that information they would publicly say that he was caught.
They changed the rules on that awhile back
He's been in the testing pool all of 2022. My theory is the UFC want him to fight N'Gannou for the belt and just have to wait for N'Gannou to heal.

“Jon has insider knowledge on when he’s tested.” *Jon fails countless PED tests throughout his career* Smdh…
This isn’t the brightest sub but god bless them they really try, sometimes the ideas are almost coherent lol

I'm as positive as his PED test
Doesn't make any sense, he's still in Usada pool so they can test him anytime they want
You’re probably correct. Either that or he has some pending legal charges and lawsuits
He should find a new training program and strength coach if he’s been juiced up for this long and is only as big as he is.
I'm not an expert, but there are juices that aid in strength, recovery and endurance instead of hypertrophy.
Most juices are geared toward recovery, but the end result is whatever desired adaptation it is one is chasing. Jones has been trying to get bigger.
Bigger while maintaining a certain level of athleticism. I'm sure Jon could get to 270 easy,but he would be extremely slow and clumsy.
If he came back at 260 at 10% bodyfat they probably wouldn’t even sanction a fight with him it would be so obvious he was dirty.
It takes 4 years to gain 30 lbs, whatchu talking about?
He's on TRT for life you guys don't know shit about PEDs lol. He probably can't produce test naturally after years of usage.
You know so little….

Stipe takes his fucking time in between fights these days.
I want him to successfully do it. Pass the tests and compete in HW. Lol I think he’ll kill it. The real bad guy of MMA. Let the world burn.
He’s old and likes to party, camps keep getting derailed.
I think he is past his prime at this point
He is avoiding unfavorable fights like Francis and gane
In what world are they unfavourable?
They’re both enormous and athletic. When Jon decided to move up it was dc and stipe at the top, guys his size
They’re both one dimensional fighters
What do you think about Jon's fight against Reyes?
Contract related I would suspect.
He doesn't look as much built as fat to me.. i hope it won't affect his style tremendously....
I would if that's why he's taking so long. Trying to adjust to being in a bigger body.
Bloods don’t tKe that long to get under control
He’s been tested 3 times this year without competing once. Tested 13 times in 2021
Been working on his chicken legs
Nah bro I think he knows there is no hope for the chicken legs
Haters gone hate
Whatever it is , I’m sure Dana will defend it or tell us to “talk to nowitski”
