[Ack Ack]

Ed Herman

I think every name mentioned so far beats Wideman

Lol that's what I thought too, and I'm a fan. Not sure if it's the right move for him, I can see Rockhold having success at lhw but I'm not sure about Tha Chris

If he wants to win shogun or glover. The other top 13 ko him.

Reyes or Vokon would be a good test.

Actually Glover could be good.

The Chris loves beating old Brazilians and they are both slow, strong good grappler with heavyish hands.

Glover Teixera

Whoever Deontay Wilder just knocked out. Wilder looks like he could make Super HW & the opponent looks like he could cut to WW.

Chris Weidman does not like easy fights

Rockhold vs Shogun
Weidman vs Glover

 

[House Adams]

Former UFC Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman announced at UFC 238 that he has decided to move up 20 pounds to Light Heavyweight. He said he wants a high risk, high reward opponent in his debut. Who do you think this first opponent should be???

Jan Blachowicz

NIKITA KRYLOV!!!!!

 

[BlastoiseDad]

I like Corey or Glover

 

[Spookv]

Khalil Rountree

That's actually a good fight and good entry into 205. A winnable fight for both of them. Good call.
