    Do you think JON JONES embellished his injuries after his fight with Thiago Santos?

    Thiago was obviously compromised for most of the fight due to a knee problem that Rogan talked about in the octagon afterwards. I wouldn't put it past Jones to act more injured than he was to make himself look better after a lack luster performance that brought some boos. Jones was basically carried out of the ring.

    What do you think?

    he fought a woodley style conservative fight against a guy with sometimes wild tactics. his legs are tiny. he was obviously hurt from the kicks.

    No doubt he is a great fighter

    I just wonder if the carry me out spectacle came from wanting to offset his opponents obvious knee issue during the fight

    He looked like he was getting punished whenever he got hit/kicked. Sucks that Santos' knee was shredded. MCL/PCL/ACL/Meniscus - man's game!

    Thiago Santos fought most of his light heavyweight title bout with Jon Jones on essentially one leg.
    Santos tore the ACL, MCL, PCL and meniscus of his left knee in the UFC 239 main event Saturday night in Las Vegas, his manager Alex Davis confirmed with ESPN. Tests came back with that information Monday, Davis said.



    such a clueless fukk

    He was hiding how gassed he was....same reason he didn't attack....roids are gone his muscle and cardio went to shit....people forget the roids REALLY increases the cardio........nobody was impressed with him cutting the cage off to a man with a wrecked knee then playing patty cake and tossing a leg kick.... I really feel he was ALL ROIDS ....

    Crazy that Thiago kept throwing kicks with what amounted to a floating kneecap

    Jones teammates carried him out of the cage after the 1st controversial fight with Gustafsson.

    Thiago Santos leg kicks aren't Jesus, but they change peoples lives. People aren't the same afterward. Some of the hardest and heaviest leg kicks in MMA period.

    That definitely happens

    He doesn't get carried out if Thiago's injury isn't talked about though IMO

    Remember the time Thiago Santos kicked David Branch repeatedly in the legs.

    The pain was so incredible, it allowed David Branch to harness whatever superpower allows women to lift automobiles off of people in life or death situations. End result: the only KO win of Branch's career. Branch technically won that fight but was never the same afterward. Like the kid from the first IT movie whose hair turned white.

    I don't think Jones was faking it. If they switch stances during the fight, they're hurt. That could be the tell we need but don't deserve.

    We have seen plenty of people take worse kicks....from men without knee injuries....and they walk out with nothing more than a limp.....Jon Jones is an arrogant piece of shit....don't think for ONE SECOND he was crediting Santos bc he believed it and was giving the guy tons of credit.......it was simply to shade his dogshit performance vs a guy on 1 leg.....this guy is so so tough and dangerous=good excuse for him not being aggressive at all.... I blame him-the lack of roids and his coaching for having a DONT LOSE mentality with the belt....

    I'm simply convinced the steroid use fueled his whole career....was a hell of a fighter but was losig his edge around 2014-15......started to juice like crazy but managed not to get caught until 2017........also...why in the penetrate is there not a wheelchair next to the octagon.....both Santos and Jones apparently could have used one......Askren 100% needed one....

    Oh yea you see it every year in mlb. Fukkin Dietrich for cincy a prime example this year, dude has never sniffed 20 bombs in a year and has 18 already!! Seems like every year some random second baseman has put on 15-20 lbs of muscle. There only 1 mfin way to do that in a offseason!!! Lol.,

    Don’t get me started on all the pitchers throwing 95+, that ain’t natural!! I’m not saying anything bad about it, I’m all for the juice! You gonna make that kind of jack to entertain us I say do everything in your power to be the best you can be!! Let’s be fair, simply sticking a needle in your ass doesn’t make you good, you still have to put in the work and have talent!!

    Don’t even get me started on the NFL, practically everyone in that league has did a cycle at one time or another!!!

    What do you think?
    Being hurt after spending 25 minutes in the cage with one of the best fighters in the world should be expected. Coming out of it without taking damage would make him look strongest.

    lol. Yea the recovery aspect is huge!! They got that crazy shit now you just put under your tongue and it spikes your test levels just for a day or 2 to recover!!!

    Stros are a great example, I love how they get praised for turning aging pitchers careers back around! And JV has the balls to complain about juiced baseballs!! Mfer did you notice the direction your career was going before being traded to stros and having a miraculous turn around? Baseballs not the only thing juiced on that team!! lol. Holy shit, I’m 35 and all s sudden my spin rate is thru the roof!! Crazy!!
