He's coming in underweight.
Really seem to notice it in most of his recent fights.
Against Bader he was 202, rogan even mentioned it's "very light for him". we all know what happened to Bader.
Against both Rashad and Thiago he came in about 203.
First Shogun fight (the one he did better) he was 204 if i remember correctly, second fight he was 205 and seemed to carry more muscle than the last fight.
Against Jones he worked hard on building muscles and came at 205 looking really buffed.
I think he just fights much better when he's lighter, which makes me think he'll do even better at MW. I'm not saying he should drop to MW, but he should def come light against hendo to avoid that right hand.
WAR SKINNY MACHIDA!
