FC 78 is quickly approaching and it's main event match-up between Rashad Evans and Michael Bisping made me consider fighters who could cut weight to drop to a lower [http://www.ufcweightclasses.org/ ufc weight classes] In that spirit I am going to discuss four UFC fighters who might be well served by dropping weight and fighting below their current class. Let me start at the top, the UFC heavyweight division. You can find a handful of UFC heavyweights who might make 205lbs, remember Randy Couture fought as a light heavyweight for a while, he even held the light heavyweight title. There is really only one UFC heavyweight who I would like to talk about dropping weight. Brandon "The Truth" Vera just dropped a three round decision to former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia. Brandon did not loose this match as a result of his skill-set. He lost because of Tim's size. Tim pushed Vera facing the fence and used his weight to close the distance, essentially negating Vera's superior kicking game. If Brandon Vera dropped down to 205lbs Personally i think he would be competing on an even playing field and would likely quickly move into title contention. The UFC light heavyweight division gets the majority of guys who should consider dropping weight. There are three that I'd like to discuss, they truly are Rashad Evans, Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson. You'll remember that Bisping and Evans are the main event fighters at UFC 78. Both these fighters are undefeated at light heavyweight. Michael Bisping can be an outstanding fighter, a good striker having an adequate ground game. Nevertheless , his recent fight with Matt Hamill suggests that he is able to be manhandled by a stronger opponent. Bisping mostly stayed on the exterior in this fight and let Hamill get a grip on the action. In my opinion that this is because he was staying away from Hamill's strength... with is wrestling, and physical strength. We all remember on the Ultimate Fighter when Hamill was overwhelming one other fighters along with his physical strength, a move to 185lbs wouldn't only put him into title contention, but would allow Bisping to be more powerful than other opponents for the reason that [http://www.ufcweightclasses.org/ mma weight classes]. Rashad Evans has dropped a [http://www.ufcweightclasses.org/ weight classes]. Rashad competed at heavyweight on the Ultimate Fighter TV series and did very well, winning his division, but his recent bout with Tito Ortiz showed that Rashad, despite his superior wrestling skills is a small light heavyweight. Rashad may have no issues matching strength with Bisping at UFC 78, but when fighting the more expensive light heavyweights like Forrest Griffin, Wanderlei Silva and Tito Ortiz he'll get manhandled, essentially negating his wrestling advantage. A move to 185lbs would probably make Rashad a sudden title contender.
