i dont get why he wont go to 205 and seems to be against it unless he gets a bogus title shot right away.
the division is wide open and guys like anthony smith and corey anderson are possibly top 5 guys. manuwa has a glass chin and is almost 40. jan is just average. osp is a fringe top 10 guy whos inconsistent. glover was ranked 3 for crying out loud as old and slow as he is.
only guy in his way would be gus or volkan imo. at 185 hes 0-2 against the champ and isnt sniffing a title shot for a minute. 205 seems like the logical choice especially when u factor in the weight cut he does to make 185 (has missed weight for 2 fights in a row)
