Also another kinda cool point 240 to 245lbs range is exactly where Jon Jones aims to be coming up at for HW...perhap jackson Winks did the same homework i did???
Food for thought
That raises another point: even if we decide it’s better to be, say, 240, does that mean that all HW fighters should strive to fight at that weight? I would argue no. Lesnar wouldn’t have gotten much quicker if he lost 25 pounds (IMHO), and his weaknesses still would’ve been his weaknesses (namely striking D). His best hope was to be a beast. Put that same bulk on someone like Cain and you kill his quickness and gas tank, and you’re still not turning him into Ngannou or Brock. I think Jones will fight around 230 or 240 because that’s where he will feel and perform at his best, rather than because of any deeper analysis. Could be mistaken though.
