Is it time for Lyoto to start cutting weight ?

No way...a cut to 170 equals to him fainting like barao

No way does Machida weigh anythingle less than 195 at MW. Guys like Condit, Rory and Lawler get near that weight and they're nowhere near Machida's size.

It's possible. He has weighed in at under 200lb for a LHW fight. I've noticed that the WW fighters seems to cut a lot of water weight to get to 170lb.

Condit would be the only guy I doubt is around 195 - but he is long & lean so it's definitely possible.

Machida ain't a small dude. I really dont see how he makes 170. He's already really lean at 185. Weidman really is that good, Machida is probably #2 at MW.

You are right that Weidman is a beast but Lyoto was clearly giving up size to him when they fought.

I personally think he should focus a lot on strengh and wrestling defense. Clearly things he has worked on but maybe pick those aspects up even more and putting other things to the side as much as he can

ITT a bunch of shertards not comprehending what the TS is suggesting. TS wants Lyoto to put on mass back to his size when he used to fight at LHW (200~205lbs) and then cut water weight to make 185.

Yeah, but the thing is that those big WW look have about the same bodytype that Machida does, except smaller, and they get to 190-195. I highly doubt machida weighs anything less than 195 at fight night.
