Weight cutting is one of the most brutal aspects of MMA. Fighters drain their bodies to dangerous levels just to gain competitive advantages. Some handle it better than others, and then there are fighters who compete comfortably at their natural weight. Jiri Prochazka has always been one of those light heavyweights who seems to fit perfectly at 205 pounds. The former champion walks around between 215 and 220 pounds, which isn’t massive for the division. <\/p>

That reasonable weight range has led to some interesting speculation about whether ‘BJP’ could drop down a weight class. Most fighters struggle moving down after years at a higher weight, but Prochazka recently surprised everyone with his thoughts.<\/p>
