Wonder if he plans to put on any weight. If he dosen't feel like he'd come in at like 195lbs.
Although normally i'd agree. With the way things have worked out with whittaker knocking off what people thought was the next contender, and Whittaker willing to wait out Israel doing 205 it seems like it's fine. Top 5 at MW is Bobby, Costa, Cannonier, Hermanson and Romero. Costa just got iced by the champ, Cannonier just got hard blocked by Bobby, Hermanson is in no position to really be legitimately challenging in the near future. And neither is Romero given he also lost to the champion, and hasn't won in ages. Till also needs time to put wins together. And past that Brunson, Gastellum, and Weidman would all have to be a good 3-4 good wins at least in a row away from hoping for a title shot. So Robert is really the only challenger so what are we really missing if Robert is fine with Israel Challenging Jan?
