I agree. There are pictures floating around with Lim standing next to DHK & he's def a bigger guy. I think he could fight at 185 & really grow into the weight class as an all out beast. Only problem is Dongi Yang fought at 185 & that actually IS his KTT teammate.

Well Lim wouldn't have to worry about that. Dongi Yang is back on the regional circuit.
true but I wouldn't be surprised if Dongi comes back. he had all the skill just couldn't put it together. and the judging didn't help either

I'm really looking forward to his debut. It sort of works out because I think Guimares is a better opponent for his debut anyways. Plus he's still fighting in Asia, so I expect a strong performance.

Not a huge difference but, yes, Lim is bigger and it's no surprise it takes him quite an effort to make weight. IMO, like many have said before, if he's struggling MW could be a good option.
His walkaround weight is about 95kg right? DHK is around 88-90kg from what I have read.

Lim looks gigantic in that picture. but like i said before that was probably the main reason he missed weight, got a bit too greedy and was trying to rebound too much for fight day.

Pretty much this. Just like Hector and his sternum all of a sudden with a poor performance v a striker.

Who is this guy again? I guess I eat the Zuffa hype up so easily I really don't pay much attention to outside prospects even though I know I should.

I've seen the 82 inch reach thing thrown around alot considering Lim, and while his wingspan is obviously massive, Lim's manager himself has stated that the number stands at 79 inches instead of 82.

It's in Korean though. Here's a brief translation of the article: http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f2/ne...iew-i-would-love-fight-carlos-condit-2178963/
