As some of u already know Jake is having trouble making weight so Ricco may get to fight Gegard. http://twitter.com/riccorodriguez "Now they want me to fight Gerad M at 205!!!"
If this is true I'm pretty excited for this card.
holy fuck that's awesome
how much does Ricco weigh right now?
I'm guessing around 215-220
I think Mousasi will beat him, but it will be interesting to see how it played out.
WOW.
That would be a SICK fight.
Honestly, it would be a 50 50 fight.
Too dangerous for Moose-sassy. Don't think he'll take it UNLESS they up his pay.
wow ricco has the tools to take this fight. would be a big win.

"My goal now is to not be in the heavyweight division much longer and to make the cut to 205. Right now, [my weight] is at 230 because I thought I was fighting Overeem so I was bulking up but my walking around weight is around 220. If they told me to fight Gegard, I would have fought him but because I was fighting Overeem I was bulking back up."
What kind of money are they paying guys like Aoki, Mousasi, and Rico? Anyone have an idea?
Aoki loads, Mousasi a decent amount - Ricco - probably hardly nothing.
If somebody had told me 3 years ago that Ricco Rodriguez would be fighting at 205 I'd have told them to fuck off and stop trolling.
Unbelievable.
arent they fighting in less than 24 hours?.. DREAM is tonight at 3 am EST
ttt
Mousasis a better fight for him than overeem... but i think M would take it
205s a much better weight class for ricco, considering that there are now much more athletic BIG HWs
Mousasi is definitely solid, but I wouldn't want to fight a Ricco that is in shape to make 200 pounds.
Tapiyama - how much does Ricco weigh right now?
He said he is at 230 in a Sherdog interview today.
amazing to see Ricco hitting 205. Hope he does well, hated seeing him waste that talent
Kind of shocked we're not getting Ricco vs. Minowaman. I know Ricco isn't a freak show fighter but it just seems like something DREAM would do on short notice.

From what I understand Ricco wants to legitimately give it another go at mma. Dream would never jeopardize Minowaman with a legitimate non-worked fight. So it would be useless for Ricco.

Huh? So because Jake O Brien is having trouble making 205 several days out, the replacement choice is a guy who is 230 two days out?
