I love how people assume just dropping a weight class solves all problems. Griffin use to fight at 145, but now he has said that he weighs as high as 180 when not in camp and his body cannot handle the cut anymore. Frankie Edgar is smaller than Tyson, yet he rag dolled him around and out worked him. Tyson is fine where he is he has just seemed not as hungry as of late.

Huge wieght cuts do not always provide a competitve edge. How have they worked out for Anthony Johnson and James Irvin? Hell Marcus Davis is dropping to 155 soon and despite being physically bigger he will still be old, slow, and hittable just like he was at 170.
