Media Paul Craig moving down to MW

Was hoping for Craig vs. Cutelava for the statredown

 

[Legendary]

I think he will be more chinny at 185.

 

[humdizzle]

nothing left for him at LHW.

already subbed ankalaev and knocked Hill out.

 

[SeattleFightFan]

Goddamn he's a big lad.

But...probably for the best.

 

[Deleted member 587672]

He'll be even more chinny when his low body fat gets removed from his neck and he ends up like an ostrich.
Still, he's good from his back so who knows?

 

[The_Renaissance]

Interesting, always enjoy his fights but echo the sentiment he might be chinnier with the weight cut. Probably his final hurrah anyway, couple more fights and he'll retire, he's mentioned it before.

 

[Portland8242]

If he already cuts down to LHW where's he gonna find another 20 pounds to take off?

That's a chasm of difference between MW and LHW.

 

[Ares Black]

I think he will be more chinny at 185.

I'm not sure that's possible

Hill fight was stopped after he broke his arm didn't KO him , which isn't any less impressive of course .
Anyways doubt this will work , MW has some solid wrestlers , and more well rounded fighters then LHW. Seems like a last ditch experiment before calling it quites .
Wish the Bear Jew the best

He'll be operating in a negative chin currency.
Might be a new form of crypto. Craigchin coin.

 

[Morris88]

Return fight for Weidman?

 

[Willek]

How many fighters actually do well moving down a division?

 

[corrupted]

I don’t think that is s good move. He’s very limited in s weak division. A good win here and there but gaping holes in his game. A lot more well rounded talent at MW.

I know he’d be risking a lot staying at LHW on a 2 fight skid, one more loss and he could get cut. And he’s gonna be matched with the better fighters … And maybe at 185 he gets. Much lower ranked guy and a better chance of a run .

But he has a win over the reigning champion. Surely he’d be better off staying at LHW and chasing that one

 

[Ayreon]

We all saw what the extreme cut did to Pereira's chin.

Paul Craig better start the round on his back

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

nothing left for him at LHW.

already subbed ankalaev and knocked Hill out.

Agreed. Someone was gonna get seriously hurt if they let him keep fighting fully hydrated.

 

[Istryker]

Saying he knocked out hill is a stretch... considering he was literally fighting back with a broken arm

 

[Marko Polo]

Always enjoy watching specialists fight. I hope he finds success

 

[Adamant__]

Ladies and gentlemen,
your new MW Champion:

Ignoring guys like DJ who are were forced to fight too large, few do better but some do pretty well:

Edgar, Aldo Cannonier, Barboza, bunch of other guys who moved up and down in no particular order but did well at the lower weight (Hendo, Chael, Vitor, Shields/Diaz/Lawler, Penn, etc.)
