lol. So now as long as you and others THINK 'this guy can make weight easily because he looks small' then its ok. But if you (and how many beside you?) think this guy might have a tough cut, then he should be required to prove himself in the division prior. lol.
if you do not understand how arbitrary and dumb that is then I don't know. We have had guys who are big and small within divisions miss weight. It is more about the fighters disciplines than the eye test.
And who are these guys you mention,a s if so many of them, who wanted an immediate title shot at the division below and who the UFC wanted to have one, but they were forced to prove first they could make weight in the division?
Others didn't think Edgar looked small, everyone was aware that Edgar didn't cut weight because when he started fighting the Featherweight division didn't exist, just like everyone was aware that fighters like Johnson and Benavidez weren't natural Bantamweights (because Flyweight didn't exist). The Flyweight division has been in the UFC since 2012 and Dillashaw never moved down, and he never competed at 125 when he wrestled as a teenager, so there's no evidence that it's his natural weight class.
And whether these fighters who moved down wanted an immediate title shot or not, the UFC ensured that they made weight at least once before entertaining the possibility of giving them a title shot:
Cormier: 2 fights at LHW before title shot.
Machida: 2 fights at MW before title shot.
Sanchez: 2 fights at LW before title shot.
Pettis: 1 fight at FW before interim title shot (he missed weight for the interim title fight <Lmaoo>)
Florian: 1 fight at FW before title shot.
Moraga: 2 fights at FLW before title shot.
Horiguchi: 3 fights at FLW before title shot.
Even Jake Shields, who'd fought at Welterweight in the past, needed one fight in the division before fighting GSP because he'd spent the previous two years at Middleweight (as the Strikeforce Middleweight Champion).
The fact is, Dillashaw isn't a Flyweight, has never competed in Flyweight, and you pretending like Johnson is as obligated to fight Dillashaw as he is any contender in the Flyweight division only demonstrates your laughable bias against Johnson.
