He said, “One of the hardest things was not being able to lose my shape while still trying to pack on 40 pounds. I think when the fans see me, they’ll be surprised that I still look a lot like I used to. I freaking gained a whole bunch of a*s, unfortunately — but just trying to keep that shape and doing it the right way,”

Fans troll Jon Jones for his comments about his heavyweight physique
Under a Reddit post mentioning Jones’ comments about his transformation, fans had a field day trolling the Albuquerque native.
Following are some of the reactions they had.
- He’s on that sh*t that makes your a** grow
- Power is stored in the a**. Look at any power puncher. Caked. Jon gonna starch Cereal Gains.
- He’s been eating strictly at the TJ Dillashaw owned Clean Juice locations
- I hope Gane dominates him. The look on his face would be priceless. He got lucky with Ngannou leaving
- He will be heavier and as tall as Gane and people are trying to give merit to him changing divisions, he had 3 years and a whole bunch of peds to do it lol. Its not like Izzy or Volk who went up against people who are clearly bigger in short amount of time.
- New mythical fighter “Double Cheeked Up Jon Jones”.
- Got that Kim K booty.
- Jon got fat as fu*k with his HW move. Look at how goddamn puffy his face is. Jon looks like he literally ate DC. How the fu*k do you take 3 years off and just get fat? Drugs. Alcohol. And fast food.
- But his calves look like malnourished Twix bars
- He gasses out round 2. If Gane is able to land kicks to his new belly fat, he ain’t gonna hand it well.
Between PED allegations, fat jokes, and fans rooting against him, Jones’ heavyweight debut already has a lot of fans talking about him.
