What's your theory on why Jon Jones shaved his head?

Besides sporting a new look, personally I think it's for him to avoid friction in clinches coz he knows DC will try to grab hold of him (neck or head) and he can slip out of it easily. There are times where little things can affect big time in a fight. That's just me. I mean he's not (yet) balding isn't he?

He's joining the Nation of Islam
 
I rarely have a theory on a haircut...

I know. Probably pretty naive on my part.

That actually the opposite though at least in my experience. Having no hair actually makes it stickier and gives more grip. Its the hair that makes it more slippery. I dont know the reason he did it but his hairline is receding.

He's swagger-jacking Michael Jordan since Rashad hasn't come up with anything creative lately

A skin head full of sweat is much more slippery than a head with hair, especially with UFC gloves, imo. But who knows
 
He had some cocaine residue in his hair and didn't want any drug dogs to pick up on it
 
Whatever the reason, the chrome dome + goatee + gold chain combination suits him very well.
 
Actually he'll have sandpaper stubble on fight night if he doesn't shave it again.
 
More efficient heat dissipation, less weight to carry. Post-powerlifting and USADA, he needs every once of cardio he can get.
 
It looks really bad man

I think he looks best with a little bit of hair
