Jon Jones is one of the vast majority of fighters who cut a lot of weight. Forrest Griffin walks around at 240! GSP walks around at 194. Thiago Alves walks around 205 and cuts to 170! This was one reason why I was such a huge fan of Fedor when he fought. It is also a reason why I enjoy watching Cain and Frankie Edgar fight.
