TS you're being a little silly.
The minute the fight ended, what did Tim say? Oh, yeah, shit, I can't make 125lbs, it's too much of a tough cut.
It's not about size. It's about skill. He is far too skilled to be fighting at 125 now. His legacy would grow more if he moved up. Just like Anderson wasn't too big to fight at MW people just felt he was too skilled for MW and GSP was too skilled for WW.
I agree. It's kind of s*** for a huge run to end via yay we found someone bigger then him. Someone will come along and naturally beat him using the right gameplan or skillset.Demetrious needs to stay at Flyweight until someone beats him.
That's how this is supposed to work not go search for circus shit because fans have fucking a.d.d.
There are a shit load of Flyweight prospects on the horizon and they are all preparing for Mighty Mouse just like the girls were preparing for Ronda at 35.
Didn't he start at Bantamweight and then cowardly left after his first loss?Demetrious needs to stay at Flyweight until someone beats him.
DJ moved to flyweight once the division was created.Didn't he start at Bantamweight and then cowardly left after his first loss?
Did Conor ever miss weight? No.- All 10 of Elliotts UFC bouts were at flyweight.
- In addition Elliott made 125 4 times in a short time frame on TUF
- Tim Elliott is also fighting at 125 again in 16 days.
So whose really being silly?

Tim is nowhere near good enough to defeat the big boys or even the middle of the pack, at 135lbs. Instead he forces himself down to try and utilize a size advantage.
Pretty much every other opponent DJ has had since his move to 125lbs, have all been his size.
I don't think he should move, but if he wants bigger fights, bigger challenges and wants to make more money, he needs to make the jump.
They have no stars now, he can't even break 200k in terms of PPV buys.Nah give him a couple more defenses and you have enough hype to build on just records and accolades. He's also been finishing people so that's always a bonus. If he leaves 125 they have no stars.
More or less the point I was trying to make. At least when Dj starts breaking records they'll have somebody to market there.They have no stars now, he can't even break 200k in terms of PPV buys.
