I'm hoping he's on the same amount of steroid as he was for he last few fight because he didn't look good in them

I bet USADA overturns the Jones/Cormier 2 decision, because Jon Jones is the biggest star in the UFC, just like USADA gave Floyd Mayweather Jr special treatment because he was the biggest star in boxing,

It's really good they managed to put these two HW fights together in less than 1.5 months gap between.

I got Gane but only because of the line. I would probably back Jones if he was a moderate dog.
The one thing I'm fairly confident is it's that it will go a while. Gane is very patient and Jon has been away for 3 years and is fighting the scariest opponent physically that he's ever been against and Jones has one of the best defenses in the game and has leaned on that more and more as he aged anyhow.
Unless Jones blasts a double and proves so dominant in the top position that he puts Gane away in the first 2. I think it's more likely on Jones side if there's an early finish, I don't think that will happen though.

Hope USADA is gonna do they're job tho, But I'm having doubts, Jon only look good when he get caught for Steroids, Or pre USADA, Jon steroids use is why he's the GOAT

Because stylistically, it's a better matchup for Jones than Ngannou would be, in my opinion. Ganes lack of finishing power (relative to the division) forces him to play Jones game where Jones is a master. Distance trading is also Ganes speciality of course but we've never seen anyone better at it than Jones at LHW.
I do think that Jones is less than his peak self though.
