Are you on crack?

you guys do understand that he will gain strength if he moves up? its not like he will sit on his couch and just eat chips and cheesecake...the last couple of fights he looked really emaciated at weighins...this may help him who knows

AdmiralCackbar -Whoops, misread that. Still though, nobody is saying he will just get fat, but the guys at 170 are fucking huge compared to Ben.gokudamus - you guys do understand that he will gain strength if he moves up? its not like he will sit on his couch and just eat chips and cheesecake...the last couple of fights he looked really emaciated at weighins...this may help him who knowsGaining weight doesn't make you a power puncher.
He can barley dominate a fight at 155 i don't think moving to a higher weight class will help at all

Lol Charlie Brenneman would like to know where his "power" was then.

didnt realize being a power-puncher is necessary to win...also, speed, timing and placement are more important in mma than power

More fighters should move up and fight at their weight
The Tiger Man - Not surprised. He's been struggling hard to make 155 for a while
when has he missed weight?
NotYourAverage14er -He's closer to 170 than 155 geniusTyronPoundedMyDongLimpBizkit - More fighters should move up and fight at their weight
Benson weighs more than 170
Not a good idea IMO. I still firmly believe Bendo has what it takes to be champ at 155
bad move... seriously. Wtf is he going to do against someone like Rory?
He's been getting smaller. Maybe a result of the weight cuts taking a toll on his muscle

170 Rumble might have had his issues, but ungodly power made up for that more often than that.
Floyd'sPeople - He can barley dominate a fight at 155 i don't think moving to a higher weight class will help at alllol WTF are you smoking
Also, WTF does "barely dominate" mean
If he's barely making 155 and he thinks the cut is effecting his performance, then yes. But only for this reason.
I like Benson, but he could easily have gone 2-5 in his last 7 fights. He was stopped twice and had three split decision wins, two of which I personally thought he lost (Frankie 2, Gilbert).
Only Benson knows for sure if 170 is the right fit or not, but he's barely getting by in the upper echelons of the 155 div
