he was much heavier than Jones on fight night likely and height has nothing to do with weight lol shorter guys have their advantage
Jones weighs 227 on fight night, I've heard him say it himself. You think Cormier is putting on, what, 45lbs(?!?) in the hours after cutting ffs!
Cormier can make LHW, I'm talking about fighting the likes of Gane or Ngannou who'd have to cut a leg off to make LHW. Even bang average fighters (by title challenging standards) like Gus & Reyes gave Jones problems just because of their height & range. It's actually laughable to think Jones will be able to ragdoll this guy. Stepping up to HW is not like going from FW TO LW - which is hard enough. This is a whole different ballgame.
