Pics: Jon Jones Body For UFC 214 is…Slightly Different Than Before

Wow…Former UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones is looking WAY different…

Gone are the days when every fighter can juice their brains out and fight in the octagon. Whether we like to admit it or not, most of our favourite UFC and Pride stars were roided up to the gills.

Progressing from taboo to professional sport, the ushering in of the United States Anti Doping Agency was the end of an era. Since USADA came to town, fighters have been looking a lot different in and out of the octagon.

One superstar who’s been accused by Daniel Cormier of ‘juicing his whole career’ is Jon Jones. The two face off in this weekend’s UFC 214 main event.

Jon Jones Weighs In For UFC 214 Today

Before the weigh-ins for UFC 214, most of the focus was on whether or not Cormier could make weight properly. After the infamous towelgate on the scales for his bout with Anthony Johnson, today’s scales show could have proven pivotal.

A rough weight cut is about as draining as anything for a pro fighter, but ‘Bones’ was the one looking a little soft compared to before.

Thoughts

Is Jon Jones a changed man in every sense of the word? ‘Bones’ certainly looked sloppy against Ovince St-Preux in his only UFC contest in two years. Also, he’s popped for cocaine and an estrogen blocker.

Cormier has been adamant about Jones’ PED use, but the USADA ruling of the one year suspension was not based on an actual steroid, rather a steroid-related hormone blocker…guess we’ll see on Saturday, and potentially in the post-fight testing period.

Jones

“When I started powerlifting four days a week, with these chicken-ass legs , with these bad genetics, and I started deadlifting 600 pounds, squatting 500 pounds, USADA was in full effect. So how did I get away with that?”

“Who looks like a junkie here? Look at this guy’s face. Who looks like a junkie here today? You look like a crackhead with a suit on.”

“I can look like a crackhead with a suit on, but I’ve never been a crackhead like you have though. So you can say I look like one, but I’ve never been one. I’ve never been one.”
