Should Weidman follow suit...

[oldschoolmmafan]

And make a move to 205, I think Rockhold will have more success at LHW as the weight cut was brutal for him and he was a huge middleweight. The same can be said for Weidman, thoughts? How do you think Rockhold and weidman would go with a run at 205?

 

[Thesnake101]

He should just fight.

Feels like forever since he went ahead and choked Kelvin.

 

[joeyjoejoe]

They could make 205 great again lol at the very least some new blood would be spilled at 205.

 

[Tuf_guy]

They'd add to the pool of talent, but I have doubts that Weidman will suddenly regain his past form and become a top contender.

Then you are removing all the draws from the 185 division if the big 3: Bisping, Weidman and Rockhold go.

Creepy lipstick Cain

 

[smiles mma]

He's not a huge pussy, so he's fine fighting where he's at.

Creepy lipstick Cain

The three of them look like they are on their way to the Blue Oyster Bar on a Saturday night.

Pre USADA, maybe. Now? I don't think so.

is rockhold wearing lipstick in that photo lol

 

[Final Say]

i feel weidman would benefit more from a move up than rockhold would.

 

[Enigma87]

is rockhold wearing lipstick in that photo lol

Cain’s looks even more like lipstick...


Fucking AKA

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

205 is legit terrible. Both could be top 5 and maybe a contender... Rockhold might have a harder time with that chin against the guys that Bang...

If any MWs have been entertaining the idea of moving to LHW, now is certainly the time. LHW is the weakest it's been in the modern era of the sport. I don't think Luke or Weidman would be all that competitive against DC or Gus, but the division is wide open and the path to a title shot would be much easier than at MW. I imagine Weidman could "earn" a title shot at LHW after a single win.

It feels a bit similar to the relative slump in talent at WW, and the resulting influx of LWs (although WW is obviously better than LHW).

Weidman-Rockhold 2 at 205 sounds dope

I don't think Weidman is to far off of a title shot at middleweight and has a genuine chance of getting the belt back, Whittaker vs Weidman would be a great fight. Like you said though, both guys could likely make an easy run to the title shot at LHW with the current state of the division.

It looks like Cormier, Rockhold, and Cain were having a three-way makeout session moments before that pic was taken

205 is insanely weak. Everybody should just move up if they’re struggling to cut to 185 honestly. The time to strike is now. Cormier isn’t going back down to 205. I don’t see it.
