Well all 3 of these guys are making a test cut to see if they can drop a devision.
Aoki is a hair under 6 foot so I think he will be one seriously lanky 145er but he has always been skinny so who knows. He has added extra muscle to his frame recently but perhaps he was never cutting water weight etc. at 155.
Lombard has talked about having to lean his body out a bit and is with Mike Dolce, Palhares is pretty much the same size and build but a few years younger.
I can see them all moving devisions and no doubt the 2 UFC guys will have success. Just look at Maia when he found his correct weight class.
Aoki im not sure about, there arent many fights at 145 outside UFC worth changing devision for so its a strange move. Hope his OneFC contract isnt long and we can see him make a run at a UFC title before his peak passes.
