I know the UFC hype train has already started for Mcgregor vs Aldo, but really I'm ready to see Aldo move up in weight class and face Pettis. Aldo looked the biggest I've ever seen in a fight, and his cardio for once actually held up nicely. Aldo shld move up, and then Barao can move up and stop taxing their bodies with these ridiculous weight cuts.

Aldo's body is filling out, it's a very difficult weight cut for him. He walks around at 172 pounds [a 27lb cut, 15.6% of his body weight]. He has expressed interest in moving up to 155 for a while now and has said that the hardest part of fighting for him is the weight cut. Let's compare that GSP who walks around at 192 pounds [a 22lb cut, 11.5% of his body weight]. Aldo cuts more weight at a lower weight class.

Now that Jones has some solid contenders, you rarely hear anyone asking him to move up. And it wouldn't sense for him to move up, he walks around at 230 pounds [would be considerably under-sized at HW]

Anderson Silva signed a 15 fight deal

Also

“The Spider” also revealed that while he’s no longer sponsored by Nike, he may have another large tennis-shoe deal around the corner.

“I was always a Nike fan, I like the brand. The company gave me an opportunity to fulfill a dream. Thanks to Ronaldo and Corinthians, I was able to work with Nike,” he said. “It was great, I liked it a lot. I’ll miss them, always remember it. We’re in a good relationship with Adidas now. There’s nothing done, we’ll see what happens in the future.”

Yeah. Not that he SHOULD do the following but If he were to fill out his legs he could easily be a solid 250-260
