Ferguson vs 145

I don't think he can make it there safely. 155 seems to be his threshold. But we've been wrong before. Frankie dropped 2 weight classes. Aldo dropped. Guys like Cannonier and Dustin have had some huge losses in terms of weight.
 
This is what Tony posing on the scale after making 145 would look like if it were possible.

No. He cuts a huge amount of weight to make 155. 170 would be better but he'll get killed by the top guys there too.
 
He has looked weak in his past couple of fights. I think if he wanted to make 145 then he could. Look at the size of Burgos etc. I don’t think it would be the right thing to do at 37 years old though. I love Tony but I think he’s just too physically shot to compete at the highest level.
 
He never adapted. That also goes to weight cutting. He was simply passed by because he relied on his mental illness to power him through tough spots.
