I thought maybe he was showing real change after he KO'd DC last time out, but then, you know what happened. We'll never know what Jones would have been had he been legit and/or a good person. Too bad, cause he could have been a true great, an inspiration. The GOAT instead of The Jackass.

That's too bad about Ortega and PEDs as it wouldn't seem to match his personality, but perhaps he turned over a new leaf after the suspension, or perhaps he is a total fraud (hope not). There's no reason he'd need it at that age. If the results weren't coming fast enough then a kid in his early 20s would simply conclude he needed more polish in his game, not that he needed to cheat to compete. Or maybe the Gracies were so desperate for a high profile fighter they pushed for it. Rener seems like a good guy, but you also get the sense that somewhere the Youtube persona ends and the real guy begins, and that they are two different people. It seems to me that Ortega is a good dude deep down, but he is from a rough environment. He seems like the kind of kid that was very loyal to his mentors, and his bjj skill shows that he is humble enough to know that you can always keep improving. I would guess he was lured in to PEDs by someone who had a financial interest in his career.
