Couture still change weight classes and did better at HW than he was doing at LHW.
Hendo is not at his best at 185, his cardio is weak at 185, Hendo is at his best at 205+.
Maia got the title shot at MW easier cause the division was weaker and had less depth than WW does now, by a significant amount, his streak at 170 is much more impressive than what he did at MW to get a title shot.
I never said that Okami looks like he can beat Maia or Lawler, I said that he can beat a few top 10-15 guys if given the right match up or he just performs really well.
