Yes, I agree with what your saying about gaining weight. The problem with GSP is that he is maxed out for his frame at 170-180. Jon Jones, is still growing as a young man and will naturally bulk up, just by eating the right things. He can hit 240lbs without trying (look at his brothers). Now if he were to try to bulk to 250-260 (stupid move), forget about it, his performance would suffer greatly.
