i touched don this breifly in another thread..i think rashad will get frustrated at not being able to beat the top guys in his division..and eventually drop down..at 185 i think he will be a beast..thats when he will start really putting an exclaimtion mark on his fights..there are some interesting mtach ups for him there..id like to see him and louiseau...dean lister..cote..ed herman..i think him and rich would be an exciting match up..i think he would have more power there wich would give him the ability..to really dominate his opponets..im sure all the rashad lovers are going to have a fit over this thread..dont get to upset tho guys its just a thought..

Have you heard any rumblings that he will try? I don't think he can make it nor should he try. He looks too big, don't you think?

No dout he would be dominate at 185, but I think he might not ready for Chuck but he does have the most potential out of all the TUF fighters and maybe the lh's in the UFC. They should but him up agaist bisping next.

i havnt heard anything..but if i was his manager thats what i would do..i just think he is gonna have trouble in the lw division with some of the guys..and rather than rack up loses and maybe take away his some of his confidence..from a management pov id suggest to him to drop down...if franklin can make the weight rashad can..he is smaller than rich..rich walks around at like 220..not to mention wrestlers are used to cutting so i think he would be fine..i think he would be extremley dominate at 185..if he was my fighter thats where i would put him...

i think bisping will be able to pick him apart..i dont think it will be an easy fight..i just think bisping is a smarter fighter..rashad has raw talent..but bisping is explosive and very smart in the cage..

Rashand will never be exciting at any weight.

ever.

if hughes went up to 185 he could beat alot of the so so guys..but not the top guys at 185...and that is my point..rashad will have the same issue..he would be better at 185..

He looks pretty damn explosive and fast and strong @ LHW. I doubt he'll even try making 185
