Rumble to 185lbs

The Guy is about Arlovski's size!!! Does anyone know what sort of weight he is cutting from? Its gotta be over 220lbs!

Maby 185lbs will be a better fit for him, im sure cutting that much weight wasnt healthy and in a few fights he clearly didnt have a good gas tank, even when he was winning.

185lbs may not be a permanent move though I hope it is. I really want to see him go up against the likes or Belcher or Bisping.

His camp say he has put on weight because of his knee injury and it might be quicker for him to get a fight at 185lbs. They say he is probabally walking around bigger than Tito now!! Be interesting to see how he fares with guys his own size...

looking at that pic he looks bigger than arlovski...Look at the diffrence in the size of their fists even..

Maby the only Ww Bigger than Alves. I think 185lbs is going to be a much better fit for him. Kos is a very big Ww and he dwarfed him. Its probabally great slapping smaller guys around but for top level MMA he is going to need Cardio and he cant have that at 170lbs while cutting all that weight.

I think he will crack the top 10 at Mw for sure.

Guys he isn't going to fight at 185lbs permanently. I can't find it atm but he said earlier today on his facebook something along the lines of definitely not moving up for the rest of his career. Anyway, he seemed awful angry with the rumours of him fighting guys his own size


EDIT: Found it.

Anthony Johnson No I'm NOT moving up 2 185lbs. I considered it 4 1 fight not 4 a life time. So people get the story straight.

He wont make that cut when he is older. I admire the skills to cut that weight but lets be realistic he has cut so much weight in the past he can bearly stand and isnt getting any younger. Id put a bet than his career wont stay at 170lbs even if the move isnt permanent for now.

The guy was passing out before the weighins against Koscheck, he is going to do serious damage to himself if keeps doing these large weight cuts. No who walks around at 220+ should fighting at Welterweight.


First death in MMA?? If he keeps this up.

Its crazy to think he is bigger than Evans a Lhw!!! I just think it causes poor fights, its hillarious to see Pro Athletes in any sport gas after 5-10 mins, I blame excessive weight cutting on 90% of the shite cardio we see in MMA.

Here we have a guy not far off the size of Prime George Foreman and he is fighting guys who weight 170lbs! Madness. I UFC should say to him what they did to James Irvin that he needs to compete at a weight that wont half kill him.

He's fought one good fighter at 170 and had his ass kicked. Same thing will happen anytime he fights a top 170 fighter because the cut is draining him too much. He should stop being a bitch and go fight at 185.
