Colitis or not, u really think he would have stayed at 185?I don't think he had colitis back then.
"felt he performs better lighter. "Yes he did, but that was before he
A) got the ass aids
B) felt he performs better lighter.
So maybe he does come back to 185, but just at his normal weight instead of bulked up
See that’s where the question is. If he feels like he Performance better at thatvsize wouldnt he actually do better at 185 at that size then bulked up and not performing as well.
He’s strong as hell anyways, would have a massive speed advantage and cardio for days.
With the skills he has I think h might actually dye better at 185 smaller faster etc than heavier slower and gassing.
Well that’s the point, he says he feels better and his body performs better.
So if he were to return to 185, would it be better for him to be at his 170 weight, if his body performs better that way than bulked up.
He’s already back down to his normal size, I don’t k is how the bulk fell off so quick other than ass aids but it didMaybe, but no one is getting to a lower weight to fight in a higher division. What would be the point? That would be stupid.
He might do well against Jacare and Whittaker but against guys like Rockhold,that Brazlian guy who beat Hendricks and Weidman he will be at a massive size disadvantage which will be too hard to overcomeSee that’s where the question is.

I actually think TS suggestion has some merit. Hypotetically, if GSP do not biff up to fight at 185, he could gain in speed most of what he loose in power. Also, those big muscles he had to fight Bisping seemed to required a shit load of oxygen and aren't to good for 5 round wars. Well we will never know because GSP will retired unless he fights Conor.It's not because I feel better when I weight 160 pounds that I can suddenly go challenge 250 pounds men.
What GSP says, is that he performs better at 170, not that he can suddenly challenge elite MW by weighing 15 pounds less than them.
Skills > weight, IF the skills are not too close and the weight is not too far apart.
GSP fighting at 187-190 can beat a top 10-15 MW, but I doubt he can beat a top 5 MW.
