This I agree with. I think he'd be much better off testing the waters at 205, as any fight at HW is meaningless at this point. Why not fight Gustafsson, or the winner of Hendo/Machida, or the winner of Rashad/Nog. The first option would make the most sense, both in terms of contendership and timing. | An instantaneous title shot without a previous weight cut would be most unwise for Cormier.
