The layoff wasn't really that long.
Jones no longer interested in HW glory

Well yeah it was only a year and a couple months. But take this as an example. You work 7 days a week for years. It becomes normal to you. It doesn't phase you after a while having no days off, working everyday is the way you live. Then all of a sudden, you start taking Sunday's off. And every time you do that, you realize how shitty it feels to go into work on Monday.
I feel like jones may experience something similar to this. He was so accustomed to the fighting lifestyle, it was just his way of life. Then his life got complicated and he had to take a while off. Now he's back into it, and maybe for him it just doesn't feel the same anymore. Maybe he doesn't want to do it as much as he used to, the fire inside died, but he will continue to do it because he has the ability to do it and it brings in money. he realizes he maybe doesn't want to do this for many more years. Or at the very least he doesn't want to make it any harder than it already is and pursue a heavyweight belt.
^ This is all conjecture, but idk it happens to ppl. The work example was literally what my father told me happened to him. He used to work every single day at this store that he and my grandpa owned from like age 18 until at least 40 and then he started taking Sunday's off lol.
This is a really good breakdown. I feel like Jones might need that one big war to really show him where he is again. I can't wait for the DC fight because I think it might end up being that war. Jones has proven to be very good at stepping up when he really needs to. Let's see if he still has that gear.
Thanks!
I hope it is a war that ends in a decisive finish, whoever wins. really hoping it isn't a snoozer and jones has that killer instinct he had as champion. I don't wanna see him fight the way he fought OSP so hopefully that was all due to ring rust and come fight night he'll be an animal in the cage
I think he fought like he did against OSP because it was a new, world-class opponent who fights way differently than his original plans. Mix that with a Jackson-Wink fighter and you get the OSP fight.
"Yeah, I'll go up to heavyweight."
*Brock returns*
"Nah, I don't want to move up to heavyweight anymore."

DC is right.
He so transparent its embarassing.
"I weigh 227 fight night vs opponent, but am too small for HW where best fighter are 230-240"
He is excuse wrapped in a lie.
the ring announcer on the right is a modern day Robert WadlowHe does not want to fight man his own size. Look at picture of him and Arlovski.
