I think there used to be less of an incentive to go to 145 because even if you were more successful you would make less money. Now that the UFC has the lighter weight classes, 145 seems like a more attractive option.
Also, With the 155 devision being the Only WEC UFC overlap, it will probably be the most competitive devision. 145 could use some more depth.
ninjaturtle2048 - hindered my performance?...ill say it again, i dont cut hardly anything to fight at 155. id feel bigger and stronger at 145 i think.Hey Cole. I think you'd do really, really well against the top ten at 145. 155 has so many wrestlers who will just lay on you...just avoid Chad Mendes if u do cut to 145............
Yeah Cole, avoid the challenging aspects of the lightweight division and go down a weightclass! That's what every real fighter would do!!
