Steroids Make You Stronger, They Don't Increase Fight IQ

I've been getting asked left and right about Jon Jones situation.
Well I'll say this...
I learned from my mistakes when UFC cut me the first time.
I can't speak on if he'll ever learn but as far as fight results, steroids will make you bigger, faster, stronger but not your IQ...
Jon cheated but his fight IQ was still sharp!
He set D.C. up for that head kick by doing the low kicks and liver kicks.
Think about that for a second...

He is absolutely right. Jones probably would've won that fight even without the steroids and that is the saddest part about this whole thing. Jone's redemption would've been complete, like a dream come true. His performance at 214 was phenomenal. He knocked out someone who had never been finished before and was undefeated at HW. You can tell he was setting up that kick from the very beginning, he knew exactly what he was doing.

That's the real tragedy about his steroid use. We all acknowledge his greatness, and we all don't attribute his success to steroids, but that doesn't matter. We may never see him in the octagon again because of his steroid use, and that's a loss to the entire MMA community, including the fighters who could've learned a thing or two from his creativity.
