You know he exists in the same universe and weight class as Brandon Thatch right? And Matt Brown.

And Ellenberger, and Condit, and Hendricks and Lawler. I think Silvas right there with those guys in terms of being really fast and being able to finish in the first round. Hes aggressive and powerful enough to hurt guys with every limb. I dont think he has the ability to sustain it like Condit, lawler, and some of those guys. But hes tough to take down and attacks a lot.

So how do you get more muscle weight and still weigh in at 185? Because during the Weidman fight, he was looking pretty lean.

Cutting water weight?

Depends on how much heavier he's gonna be tomorrow night I guess, but I feel like he's probably not making a big cut.

edit: for all we know he just got his diet even more under control and is just sitting at the same weight as the last fight, with lower body fat and more muscle.

Didnt we have reports that he felt too skinny for Weidman and had switch up his S&C to bulk up??

THANK GOD FOR THE SMOKE MACHINE!
He made 185 with his shorts on, so the cut probably isn't all that hard for him. He just lost a good bit of body fat and cuts some amount of water weight so he could afford to put on some muscle.

I don't think he really cut at all to make 205.

Dude was chubby at 205, especially earlier in his career. I wonder if he even cut water weight for the Weidman fight.

Over on sherdog there is a lot of posts from fighters, Pete Spratt specifically, who are coming to the fore over how the UFC had mistreated them or underpaid them in light of the class action. Essentially there are a lot of skeletons jumping out of closets and Nate's on their side.

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2014/12/...er-pay-mma-news

Spratt says he was cut after he refused to fight Hughes as Hughes was 50/50 while he would've only received 8/8.

The funny part is that after turning down the fight with Hughes, he ended up having to fight GSP in TKO instead. :laugh:

In 2003 the UFC was millions of dollars in debt, no fighter could complain about pay back then.

Machida used to post pics of him eating big meals the night before weighing in at 205. For his first MW weigh in, I think he was maybe a pound or two over on the morning of the weigh-ins, so he did a single yoga class to get under the limit. He's got plenty of room to grow at even at MW without needing to make a big cut. I just hope he can take advantage of his new size/strength before he Gets Old.

Anything worth thinking about from tomorrow's fights?

Last chance for Tom Niinimäki. Had high hopes after he outgrappled Rani Yahya but went on to lose 2 in a row. Last one to Chas Skelly who just based on his name should be fighting Hooker Godbeer in Bellator or something. Thought he was cut actually but apparently not.
