Why do you keep bringing up a guy that killed himself trying to cut to 170 and missed weight over and over? He's doing well at 205 because that's exactly where he's belonged all along. At HW his biggest achievement was a decision over a washed up Andrei Arlovski who wasn't in the top 20 and hasn't beat a relevant HW in about 8 years.
If anything the Rumble example proves my point even more, he cuts weight to 205 now because he tried both and he feels his chances there are better than at HW. So ya he feels he has a better chance against Phil Davis and Jon Jones then he would against Stipe Miocic and Cain Velasquez.
Now please shut up.
Did you even watch the Rumble vs Arlovski fight? You sound like you have no idea what you're talking about, you don't just beat down former heavy weight champions when everyone in the world is doubting your ability to fight. Could you please put together your top 20 heavyweight list at the time Arvloski fought Rumble? That would be great, but you and I know you're just saying that because you have no idea what you're talking about and I'm calling you on it. No, Rumble doesn't prove your point at all, not in the slightest. Except that if Jon Jones is the best 205er in the world, arguably the best pound for pound fighter in MMA, and wouldn't be successful at Heavyweight? Even though Rumble who now fights at 205 and beat Phil Davis beat down Arvloski at heavyweight? Seriously, stop speaking, stop writing, go learn something about MMA, go learn something about fight strategy, and go train for God sakes so you don't sound like such a fool.
extra weight would mean extra strength, its how the body works. you carry that weight around all day so you become accustomed to that weight.
knocking people out also has a lot to do with how hard you hit, which is why a brawler with very poor technique can knock someone out. of course a well planted jab could also knock someone out if they are moving forward. they way you look at it, hendricks would of had the exact same run even if he didn't have monster like power in his hands.
maldonaldo is known for having one of the best chins in the LHW division, done-dys in 35secs. i doubt jones would have different results had he taken the same shots.
not saying it would be a one sided mauling but the strength and KO power w/ IMO enough speed to keep up with every LHW out there, means that jones is gonna have a rough night. HW strikes and LHW strikes tend to have quite a big gap in how hard they land.
Extra weight means extra strength? Oh my Lord...stop speaking right now. You don't know anything about the human anatomy, biology, or physiology. You walk around with that weight and become accustomed to it huh? So are you in 7th or 8th grade? No, knocking people out has nothing to do with how hard you hit. Yes, hitting hard helps to knock someone out, but knocking people out has nothing to do with how hard you hit. You do not train, that is now obvious. Maldonado does not have the best chin, clearly because he got knocked out. Glover has a better chin at LHW. Please, I mean you just don't know what you're talking about...at all. You do not understand the physics of strikes and saying inane things like, "HW STRIKES AND LHW STRIKES TEND TO HAVE QUITE A BIG GAP IN HOW HARD THEY LAND." Heard of something called F = MA? No? Yeah, that is why you don't know what you're talking about...
