There is no way Adesanya goes up to heavyweight haha.

I bet Adesanya goes up to Heavyweight after he beats Jan. Not immediately but eventually I could see him putting on weight and fighting Jones one day.

You have to have meant, Light Heavy weight (205), right?

He'd get turned into sand at HW. Adesanya won't move to HW unless its to fight Jones (also not a true HW).

Adesanya would come in at 206 tops, and Jones maybe in the 220's.

Any other matchup doesn't make sense.

obviously I know hes a MW. But its not unthinkable for him to get up to 215 lbs.

But does he still have calves that look like pretzel sticks?

I would love to see Stipe fucking starch JJ. I would bet my entire $500 life savings on it

So like I said. 220's

Just bloated 205'er walk around weight. He simply doesn't have the genetics of a true heavyweight like Rumble Johnson-- who was able to transform himself into the LHW HW division.

The infrastructure isn't there. Jones will get obliterated by Stipe and any true HW.

He couldn't even make 265.

Ever since retiring from the sport of MMA, Anthony Johnson has been hard at work in the weight room. Bulking up, the former UFC title challenger is now looking larger than ever before.

Speaking on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show, mixed martial arts manager Ali Abdelaziz recently came forward to revealed that Anthony Johnson is currently walking around at a massive 285 pounds.

Delusional. Losing 80 pounds of "fat" at 36 is nothing to sneeze at.

He's in the testing pool so we'll see in 6 months.

Don't forget prelims start at 12 est today and the main card at 3 on ABC

Pretty good documentary about Jon Jones. Not a lot of content about his move to heavyweight though. I'm interested in seeing how a 250 lb Jones sizes up against other heavyweights. I imagine he'll look like an Overeem / Dos Santos hybrid.

Anyone have a Stream?

Main card is on ABC, and if you don’t have an ESPN+ subscription via the Hulu/Disney+/ESPN+ bundle you don’t deserve to watch it.
