So if UFC introduces the 165 and 175 weight classes would Woolley get to pick which class he moves to as champ? They wouldn't take the belt from him right? I'd imagine he'd go to 175. If all that happens, who do you guys think would go for the 165 belt?
Conor would go for 165 in a heartbeat. That guy doesn't want to defend a belt ever. I'll edit though: Ferguson, Khabib would probably move up, they're on the bigger side for lightweight. RDA could probably hit 165 if he wanted. Either Diaz could slide in there, but probably Nate.
I don't know how close they are to making new divisions, but yeah, that fight would make sense. Perfect scenario: They add weight classes while scaling back on total number of events. Stacks cards a bit more, gives the roster a little room to breathe without stretching themselves thin.
Fun card on Friday, Saki looked rather impressive all things considered. OSP with that damn choke again.
I wouldn't say I'm a "fan" of Rockhold's but I feel like the division is a much more boring place without him. haha. He really stirs shit up and he's also really really good.
Ngannou and Overeem is going to slap. Nothing gets me excited in this sport like a good heavyweight scrap.
Glad Condit is giving it another go. Easily my favorite fighter. I still need to see Condit vs. Wonderboy before it's all said and done, though I hope his chin is still there.
Unreal Kevin Lee talks about having to cut 20 lbs, and now he currently has 2 minutes left to weigh in... Wooooow, if he's trolling, he's got some balls. Edit: Annnnnd 156... but he's able to come back within the hour soooo he should be fine. Yikes though.
That is if the doctor clears him to even try....he looked like absolute shit on that scale as it was.
I was assuming he would be cleared since it was only one pound. He seemed confident even though he was pretty drained. This is just weird. Edit: Annnd we're on!
