The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version.

You think Paulo Costa is a big MW ? Here is him next to Darren Till

Wow. Darren Till's weight cut is criminal. I heard he cut down from 205-210 pounds, but I didn't believe it ... although he looked huge against Wonderboy, who isn't a small 170 pounder.
 
Darren Till is the extreme weight cutter's extreme weight cutter.
 
Well Till said that he’s a LHW after all
 


Yeah well, that is not quite the best example because as "The Gorilla" himself stated:

“I’M A LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT IN THE WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION. IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL, WHAT I’M DOING. THE UFC SHOULD BAN IT BUT THEY CAN’T BECAUSE I DO IT NATURALLY AND I DO IT PROFESSIONALLY, AND NO ONE CAN DO A FUCKING THING ABOUT IT.”


 
Till is all frame at 170 while Costa is loaded with muscle. Till would be like Rumble in the sense that if he moved up to 185 he'd fill out and be a massive MW as well.

But on a side note, Costa AMOGs everyone so far, notice the hand position. And guys even try to overcompensate with aggression at the weigh ins but Costa ends up AMOGing them nonetheless.

he will be the new Rumble
 
Till needs to go to MW. Would be a great addition to the division.
 
I want to see Darren Till wipe the floor with Covington but it is going to get harder to cut that weight.
 
Am i the only person who doesnt really like Till?
 
Costa is much thicker built
But isn’t a huge middleweight in terms of height, frame etc, he’s just well muscled and in phenomenal shape. Imagine costa next to Weidman or rockhold
 
Costa is not that big, he has a rather light frame, but his frame is filled out with a lot of muscle. Woodley is of a similar build.
 
I think its cowardly cutting so much weight to have the advantage.
 
But he couldn’t even beat up WB. He actually probably lost that fight if it wasn’t for the crowd.

True. I scored it for Thompson. But Till was so depleted by a weight cut that apparently involved some kind of rectal intervention (!) and temporary blindness that I am willing to bet he would be better at MW. Anyway, Wonderboy is one of the trickiest opponents in the world.
