<div>FC 78 is fast 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] For the reason that spirit I'm going to discuss four UFC fighters who might be well served by dropping weight and fighting below their current class.<br />
<br />
Let me start at the top, the UFC heavyweight division. You will find a couple of UFC heavyweights who will make 205lbs, remember Randy Couture fought as a light heavyweight for a while, that he even held the light heavyweight title. There's really just one UFC heavyweight who I want to speak 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 against the fence and used his weight to close the exact distance, essentially negating Vera's superior kicking game. If Brandon Vera dropped down to 205lbs I'm however be competing on an even playing field and may likely quickly move into title contention.<br />
<br />
The UFC light heavyweight division has the most guys who must look into dropping weight. You will find three that I'd like to discuss, they are Rashad Evans, Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson. You'll note that Bisping and Evans would be the main event fighters at UFC 78. Both of these fighters are undefeated at light heavyweight.<br />
<br />
Michael Bisping is an outstanding fighter, a good striker by having an adequate ground game. But his recent fight with Matt Hamill suggests that they can be manhandled by a stronger opponent. Bisping mostly stayed on the exterior in this fight and let Hamill control the action. I believe that 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 normally only put him in to title contention, but will allow Bisping to be more powerful than other opponents for the reason that [http://www.ufcweightclasses.org/ mma weight classes].<br />
<br />
Rashad Evans has recently dropped a [http://www.ufcweightclasses.org/ weight classes]. Rashad competed at heavyweight on the Ultimate Fighter TELEVISION series and did 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 will have no problems matching strength with Bisping at UFC 78, nevertheless when fighting the larger light heavyweights like Forrest Griffin, Wanderlei Silva and Tito Ortiz he'll get manhandled, essentially negating his wrestling advantage. A move to 185lbs may likely make Rashad an immediate title contender.</div>StutzWhitson911
