Masvidal could be champ at 155 right now if not for McDonalds. Should he sue?

If he wins his case (which he will, because 'murica) they'll have to add 'Caution: eating this may cause you to fight in the wrong weight class' next to their 'Caution: hot' coffee warnings.
Probably cost him 30 million
 
He's too big for 155 and is a medium sized WW who relies on endurance, killer standup and just enough ground game to hang.

For all the crap he's getting he had usman doing everything to avoid actually having to fight (on 6 days notice nonetheless).
 
At 155 I see Mas beating Oliveira just by being so much bigger and heavier handed. Do Bronx would struggle.

Gaethje, Chandler and Poirier would all smoke him now though.

Mas would Murder Mcgregor and Tony. Not even close.
 
He most likely doesn't want to do it and the cons outweigh the pros now that he's 36.
 
They missed a great opportunity to make Masvidal vs Diaz for the 165 lbs title instead of a gimmick belt.

He wouldn’t have beaten Khabib, and probably wants to leave 155 to his teammate Poirier anyways.
 
He’s like 37. It’s hard to get down to the weight you fought at when you were 20.

His frame doesn't look like WW at all IMO, he really does look like a LW. However, as you get older weight cutting becomes worse & worse, & some people aren't as disciplined as others. I don't like Conor but somehow he always made weight at FW, he looked like a prison camp survivor but that's real discipline for ya
 
Bald goof Dana White refused to make a 165 division to his own detriment.
 
155 is more stacked than 170 is now, and Masvidal is better suited physically for 170 pounds. You don’t KO a guy like Darren Till if you are undersized.

170 was the best division in the UFC for a good 10-15 years, but LW took over the top spot right around 2015/2016.

Back in the late 2000s/early 2010s there were almost no former lightweights in the top 10 of welterweight. In the past few years alone there’ve been a bunch.

The division has definitely gotten smaller and shorter over the past 10 years.
