    I wonder if Jones has possibly been using throughout his career and after fighting clean against OSP (which would have been his first fight under the stringent new testing regulations if I remember correctly) he realised he was in trouble with that level of performance and turned to the PED's?

    It's a theory I could certainly get on board with.

    Remember there was talk about his testosterone levels being suspicious at UFC 182.

    He would've been no more than 34 when that was taken but that's besides the point. He's looking a lot slimmer lately, it's very possible he cycles off anything he might've been taking when he started training for this fight. I'd like to think he's clean but the man has been built like a grizzly bear for most of his life, even his most dedicated fans would have to question him slightly.

    Once again, really hope he's clean, love the guy as an athlete and performer.

    Hmmm. He kinda spent the hole presser earlier saying how he has made mistakes in life and how he got second chances at things

    Really? So he's had 2nd chances(like I said) but why can he be a changed man and Jones can not? Why keep bringing up what Jones has done and paid the price for while acting like butter wouldn't melt?

    Anything over 205 to 265 is HW. Otherwise there'd be another class like cruiser weight or something.

    Ohhh I thought I heard or read that there was a minimum weight because it was HW & such a big division. Maybe I've misunderstood when heard a fighter saying they wanted to be a min weight or something.

    for those naive to think testing works, it only works against those dumb enough to get caught,
    or thru a scandal involving documents and whistleblowers

    It's one you could levy at EVERY fighter though.

    Funnily enough, my feeling is exactly this regards GSP. Got clean for the Hendricks fight, looked like ****, took a bad beating then got out of the sport.

    Anyone who got caught before USADA was just really really dumb.

    Cant anyone fight HW ? is there not just a limit on what max you weigh. I know there would be liecencing problems, but at closer weights where it could be considered fair as in speed vs power vs experience, some something along those lines. I thought that like football you can play under 18's or 21's if you are such but if your gifted and can player at a premiership or level like that then its fine

    So the company that supplies Jon Jones with supplements says nothing they make is on any banned list. Obviously any company will take that stance in such a situation but if it's true, JJ was caught lying again after Kawa basically saying in the presser that it was a supplement issue.

    http://mmajunkie.com/?p=200864

    So they had the two sups tested that he's been on for a long time (PMP Pre-Workout and an amino acid sup) and they came back with the conclusion they contained no banned substances.

    I'm definitely starting to feel less sorry for him as the day goes on. :mad:

    Partly posting this to show you may have a point on him having always been huge, but mainly posting it because it is so f***ing hilarious! :pac:

    A lot of the time. Schaub is right about the scam that was pulled to let him come back this quickly.
