|  James Irvin's dramatic weight change through out his career
James Irvin's Weight Change |  Quote:
Due to the reaction on the ‘net of James Irvin’s dramatic weight cut, I decided to do a little side by side comparison. Here is a little collage comparing James Irvin over three weight classes: Heavyweight against Mike Kyle at UFC 51 in 2007, Light Heavyweight against Luiz Cane at UFC 79 and Middleweight against Alessio Sakara at UFC On Versus 1.
Pretty big difference here, especially between 205 and 185. Judging from all the Irvin interviews I’ve seen in the last few weeks, he seems to be taking everything in stride. I still think he’s going to smash Sakara, but he might need a CLIF bar between rounds.

This is what those in the medical profession regard as the "Reverse Overeem".

He doesn't look so good in that recent picture. I hope he's doing alright. I really would like to see him come out and put on a big performance. This is his last real chance to prove himself.
Just remember that Belfort did the same thing, went from heavyweight to Middleweight so it's not uncommon.

I'll never forget one of the first times I took notice of him, he was blowing smoke up his ass in an interview. Then Mike Kyle beat the shit out of him. He has since gone through 3 weight classes and not much has changed. Maybe WW will be his lucky class.

....when someone make's a move down in weight that's how they usually look. i.e. Swick and Franklin. Hopefully he did it with the right diet and nutrition......but yeah I agree with Kevo he looks bad.
