guess yesterday said he had gotten up to 267 a few months ago, but targets 245-250 for the fight.

speaking of weight

Dunno how I never noticed the tattoo before. What a profoundly pious man Jones is. Truly a beacon of Christian values.

Jones "Gane was outworked by Ngannou, that says a lot". "Gane is the least complete fighter in the top 5". Hard to argue against.

I want Jones to lose, spectacularly, however I wouldn't be surprised if he won, spectacularly, and shut people like me up.

watch the presser, you really see how "inflamed"? his hand looks

his watch hand knuckles are so defined, while his mic hand is bloated

I understand why you feel that way, however, I am rooting for Jones. I like how he fights. While I have been critical of Jones' behavior out of the octagon, I also realize we shouldn't be looking to modern day gladiators to be role models. I hope Jones ragdolls Gane.

imo jones has been gameplanning gane by saying he got out wrestled by ngannou and how jones has technique and is strong... but thats not what jones does. he ragdolled fat dc and outstruck machida

he's probably gonna just go toe to toe w/ gane

35 years old now, 3 years of ring rust, coming off the two least convincing wins of his entire career, moving up the equivalent of 2-3 weight classes at once to fight a top 5 ranked fighter in his new weight class. If he pulls this off and doesn't get embroiled in yet another doping scandal he will pretty much be king of the UFC.

Until he gets arrested again a few months later.

Max range jabs and teeps. When Gane steps in to get within his own range there will be an outstretched finger waiting, every time.

if gane didn't hire strueve as a training partner, he's an idiot

i don't think he'll have that extended hand that is always pawing for distance tho, thats a winklejon thing and jon seems to have trained that out of him.

While that could be true, pool workouts are great period.
Only form of exercise where I feel better after then before. 10/10, recommend to anyone regardless of circumstance. Chael is just trolling.
