Hard time believing that he could sustain ongoing lhw cuts -- Kidneys have a way of letting you know that shit is bad asap.
I like Cormier, but he should stick to HW at his age. Cain could lose the belt, afterall... shocking. I know.
True about the age and trying to cut that much weight. People forget he's 33.
He said he would try to cut to LHW, but it's my understanding that he has problems cutting weight. If he can't make it, then I think he'll fight Cain.
He only has to lose about 20lbs of fat.......then cutting the rest shouldn't be a problem.
He probably won't have his first UFC fight until the middle of next year, he has plenty of time.

He's fighting Dion Staring on 01/13/2013
If Randy Couture could do it @ 43 then I honestly believe a conditioned Olympic caliber wrestler like Cormier could make the cut safely.
That's not a UFC fight...
He still has plenty of time after that too lose the fat.
He's a conditioned Olympic caliber wrestler whose kidneys have already shut down once due to excessive weight cutting. It pretty much ended his amateur wrestling career.
I think he probably can make the cut, but it'll take serious dieting to do it. He's got a lot of excess weight to shed to be able to make that cut safely.
