Jones walks around at 215-220lb on fight night but is getting called out by HWs who walk around at 245+.
What's so badass about that ? Jones is not a massive LHW, he's tall and makes weight easily. HWs are butthurt that he easily beat Cormier who used to be one of them.
Jones has no obligation to fight at HW. He is the LHW goat.
215 -220 on fight night is big for a LHW. That means his normal weight will be around 230-235 maybe even heavier. What is the difference with HW's calling out Jones when Jones has called out and fought MW. Jones is a HW that cuts to fight at LHW, so in my opinion Jones should take some fights at HW. He is just as big if not bigger than most HWs. Jones is a good fighter but there is a reason why he cuts weight and fights at LHW.
I myself think that weigh ins should be the same day as the fight. Cutting weight in my opinion is just like taking PEDs. Fighting at a smaller weight class gives fighters the advantage of being bigger, and stronger. Isn't that part of the same reasons why PEDs are banned? There would be a big difference in the rankings if fighters had to fight at their natural weight.
