    Who would you like to see change weight class?

    I was watching some MMA on JustinTV last night and they replayed the GSP vs Alves match of UFC 100. Afterwards they asked GSP would he move up to 185 to potentially face Anderson. And in my drunken state I began to think of guys I would like to see fight at other weights.

    I personally hate And1 at middleweight and pray he moves to 205. Or atleast have GSP move up to 185 to fight him.

    Alves needs to move up and stop cutting huge amounts of pounds.

    I wish Mir would move down to 205, but I think all the pounds he gained to beat Brock could be tough to cut. Then again what do I know.

    Jon Jones to continue in 185.

    Karl Amoussou down to 170, to small for 185, a lot of foreign fighters need to drop a weight class if they want to fight in the US

    Shane Del Rosario down to 205, I think once he losses at HW he will drop, hinted at 205 in the past, plus he can do more damage in the weaker SF weight class

    Henderson move back up to 205 which will happen, the cut is a lot tougher than it used to be, he also fights better at that weight than 185 IMO

    Zaromskis is some what screwed unless at this point, to small for 170, might have a rough cut down to 155, but he needs to try, 170 is just not working for him in the US

    For fun I would like to see Fedor try and make 205, he could do it

      No way will GSP move up to 185 to fight A1. It would have to be a catchweight.

      I would love to see if Aldo can retain his awesome skillset at 155 but with Penn out of the picture, there may be no reason to.

        Someone tell Rumble Johnson's bum ass to learn to some sub defense and move up to 185. He wasn't that good at WW to begin with and he can't be bothered to make weight for it anyway.

        Mach Sakurai could still be a top dog at 155 if he wanted, but he just hates weight cutting too much.

        Frankie Edgar to 145 just to see the Aldo superfight.

        Yoshihiro Akiyama. One of the most skilled fighters at 185, but has looked tiny in comparison to his opponents. Would immediately become a top dog at 170.

        Joachim Hansen to 145. He was damn near killing himself to make 139 and adversely affected him.

        Zaromskis to 155. It was pretty obvious he was too small for the US at 170.

        Erin Toughill to 145. Tell her fat ass to hit the treadmill so we can see Cyborg fight someone her own size. Ridiculous she ate herself out of the only class she was eligble for.

        Cyborg Santos to 135. Talent pool at 145 is incredibly slim. Needs to drop down to where the top fighters are.

          In the interview following his fight at 100, GSP said he walks around at 185ish and would just need to train to get in fighting shape for it.

            An interview earlier this year, GSP talked about walking around at 193 and if he were to move up in weight, he'd want to walk around at well over 200. He also mentioned that he'd do it if he were permanently moving up to middleweight b/c he wouldn't want to drop back and forth.

            GSP is still young so perhaps one day in the future but he still has plenty of fights over the next 2-3 years at 170 IMO. By then, who knows if Silva will even be fighting still.

              Sexyama is the obvious one.
