    Is Belfort back on the juice? His physical conditioning looked very good against Jones. Plus when he dropped down to 85, since his bout in Affliction he looked notably softer then compared to his early days at 205 in the UFC. You can always tell by those huge traps he has/had...as well as failing drug tests....

    I think it was more to do with the fact he didn't have to cut the extra 20lbs to make 185.

    But he looked softer at 85. If anything with the drop in weight he should have looked harder and weight drained. He was neither.

    Hmm not really..His been at 205 for the best part of his career. For him to make weight his only really going to dehydrate 20lbs or so. The fact he looked so soft -as you noted in the Lindland bout- makes me think he came off gear. But judging by his muscular conditioning for Jones makes me think he was back on something. As his softness was very noticeable around his obliques which is a sweet spot for many. Granted i'm probably being pedantic. But judging by how he looked at 85 comparatively with 205 the maths don't add up.

    Reading over his training/diet routine it seemed that hes changed up almost everything.
