On a serious note tho, who the fuck is ever gonna beat him? I just can't see it happening. Maybe some HW could, but I kinda doubt it, he basically is massive now
No one currently on the UFC roster, but there's likely some punk 16 year old kid out there right now that will become an even better freak in the octagon.

I doubt he could get John Joe to the ground. I see lot of side kicks to knees and grinding clinches on the cage..
That's what they said when he fought Fedor, and Travis Browne, and Mark Hunt, and Cain see the pattern here?

God I'm going to sound like such an internet neackbeard, but...

I wonder if this new regimen is going to be beneficial.
He looks great, sure, but we are talking fighting.

He's got 25 minutes of brutal work to do.
Is he doing a low volume program to "power lift"?
I used to be bigger and more aesthetic. Now smaller, I can ruck and run further than ever in the past.

I know, I know, he's in a great camp. They will surely tell him how to workout. But I'm going to be a detractor and say that I'm not equating this new physique with a "new level of fitness".
I honestly don't think powerlifting is beneficial for MMA, just my opinion though.

Then again, doesn't Robbie powerlift? And Woodley and Hendricks?
For a lot of years the PED deniers of baseball used the logic that the extra mass would negatively effect the ball players required range of motion. Turns out more muscle is better, lol.

Sweet mother of...I'm officially terrified. Look at him, he looks like an action figure if they made an action figure with a gleam of pure sadism in its eyes.

That isn't sadism, he's just baked.

The only pattern I see is a list of men not named John Jones, do you think a Jackson gameplan will involve diving into Werdum's guard? I just don't see it going to the ground if Jon doesn't want it to unless Werdum dives on something.
While I think Werdum has great stand up that reach and the use of it will be too much for him.

Jacksons' last game plan against Werdum turned into the year's best comedy. Turns out standing and trading with him isn't a brilliant life decision.

teamquestnorth @teamquestnorth you wanna bet on this fight actually happening at 198 in NY? The bet I'm proposing is that Jones vs DC doesn't take place at UFC 198 in NY. If it goes down in another city or event or one of those guys replaced I win. You in?

No way. The UFC has been making these stupid announcements for years about holding events in NY and it always fails.

NY is trying to rid itself of the mobsters not bring more in. I don't see them ever getting legal there for at least 10 years.

Yeah I agree that out of every single person on the UFC roster, the most dangerous fight for Jones is Werdum. By far

Also IMO, no chance the UFC gets into NYC by April. It's literally the same thing every year, even when that corrupt dude (name escapes me) got thrown in the pen.

Believe me, I want the UFC in NY more than ANYONE, because I would fucking be there! But I just can't get my hopes up for it anymore. I'm sure that at some point within the next 10 years it will probably finally happen, but this April is too soon :( I'd love to eat my words and be wrong though!
