      @LarryMayvid Před měsícem +5

      No way of knowing for sure what Jon was doing, I wouldn't put it past him, but he doesn't exactly have a history of using without getting caught*, and his weight gain was completely realistic naturally. Especially considering part of it was belly pudge. He walked around at about 225-230 for LHW, last fight Jan '20. He weighed in at 248 in Mar '23, 26 months later. That's less than 1lb/ month. Izzy's isn't realistic naturally for someone his age and height, who has been training for 1.5-2 decades already. Particularly considering we know he's been back in the martial arts gym for several months now and that his gyno was back in a picture he posted back in spring
      *I say he doesn't have a history of not getting because there was a noticeable difference in his physique every time he popped and there weren't really any times we saw that when he didn't pop, but again, who knows

    Chael is sort of right about the weight cutting and trying to lift in the off season and put on size just to cut down to the same weight again. Especially in wrestling when you weigh in closer to the fight than ufc and can’t pull as much water pre fight. But, I don’t think it’s a complete waste. If ur a d1 college athlete and trained rly hard in high school, ur rly only going to put on 5-20 lbs of muscle in all four years of college combined. I also think if u get rly strong in the off season and still lift heavy as you are cutting, your going to get weaker, but not as much weaker as if u didn’t lift at all while cutting.

      Yeah I agree. He is very lean and dark-skinned that his particular body can give more of an illusion of size even when the size isn't quite there. He definitely looks bigger there though, probably something closer to 10-15 lbs heavier than his normal weight, like Max Holloway when he finally bulked to lightweight properly for the Gaethje fight, versus Max vs Poirier when Max just was fat, and Izzy vs Yan where Izzy couldn't even hit 205 at all. He looks like a good solid 215 here, maybe closer to 220 tops. Good size for Izzy's frame to get more power and durability without losing too much speed and cardio

     I have to agree 100% there’s no way someone can go to the gym just train natural while consistently weighing 185 and suddenly way 230 pounds by just eating more. There’s no way this guy would be natural if he’s 230 pounds Now if you stop doing cardio stop training and ate a lot and got fat absolutely he could be 230 pounds but he’s not gonna be a fight ready 230. Even with steroids it’s highly doubtful that he could go up 230 pounds while training as an MAA fighter. This late in his career it would be ridiculous to think that he could go up to heavyweight and be competitive when he’s been a middleweight for so long.

    Pretty much agreed. The only way to really make significant gains in weight and be able to train, without steroids, is going to take a significant amount of time. Look at Jon Jones. He spent like 3 years, just to manage to hit what 230lb? And he still looked fat as shit compared to what he looked like fighting at 205lb. So he likely had more muscle, but he had to be able to spend significant time getting above 230lb, so that he could still train and be able to lose weight back down to where he ended up weighing in at.
