Actually Jon has amazing leg genetics for his weight class. Meaty thighs would put him in the HW division, slow him down and probably make him an average or maybe slightly above average fighter in that class. He's got the optimal body attributes for LHW---very tall, super long reach, naturally strong. Add his ring smarts, creativity and MMA-optimized wrestling (especially his uncanny knack for leverage) and you have a monster.
This fight is interesting though because Jon did not look great in his last fight, and may not have adjusted to the USADA era.
