I like Maldonado alot, but IMO he needs to get his butt down to middleweight ASAP.
Glover is an utter berzerker and anybody in the cage with him is basically stepping into the kobayashi maru, but Fabio's bouts against Pokrajac and Kingsbury also highlighted some of his shortcomings at LHW, I think he's too easily bullied by bigger fighters and while he's got some really nice striking, alot of it is nullified by the size advantages.
I don't like seeing guys absorbing too much punishment and I'm not saying he'd absorb LESS at MW, but I think there's alot to be gained by taking a look at making the cut, since he is quite doughie in the midsection.
