His best attribute is speed. He would lose that at 135.
It's a harder cut than you think....look at Barao for example, who regularly cut down to 135 but had to kill himself damn near to do it. It caught up to him.
Edgar is of similar size and he's 36 years old.. he's said he could if he really wanted to...but really should he?
He was faster than Faber when they fought. Granted it was at LW but Faber is a natural BW.This x100
The speed of his strikes and takedowns are what he relies on, at BW he wouldn't have a speed advantage over many people. Plus the weight cut as well.

GOATs move up and not down, unless they are already on top of the food chain. Heavyweight.He's the smallest top 10 FW and he's running out of time in his career.
I'd like to see it at least once. I don't like the idea of him going against big guys like Max, ortega, or even Moicano.
He would not be fast for a bw not to mention the weight cut. Tj and Cody would make him look 37 years old.
He'd still have an advantage over guys like Caraway, but Cody and TJ are for sure faster than him, Cruz as well
he was busy fighting for the title at 155lbsProbably doesn't want to have to cut hard in the twilight of his career.
If only he had dropped to that weight in his prime.
