Fighters who would be more succesful at a different weight class

Gsp

 

Really bad call. He'd lose strength at LW having to cut too far, and although he's an above avg guy size wise at WW, he's not so huge he needs to go up. He would be a very small MW. Your post is terrible, i hope you were joking.

 

Cro Cop is a good call, he's really not much bigger than A Silva at walking around weight, and I think dropping down will help Franklin (when the finally let him do it) and Wandy a lot.

Good point since GSP is having so much trouble at Welterweight.

Call me crazy but I would like to see Forrest move up to HW. He walks around at 240 and he could use his underated ground game a little more there.

 

 

 

 

CRAZY imagine a real punch say a shane carwin punch forrest wouldnt even be able run out of the caage after that and about his bjj that will be useless because the weight difference and calibre of wrestler would be different so say cain velasquez would just do what he did to congo

Its not that he couldn't make the weight he said in the past he wouldn't fight at LHW didn't want to.

 

makes sense to me. cutting weight sucks. think it do him good, but he's competitive with the big boys so why not hang around. i do think he'd make some great matchups at LHW though. now that i've considered it, it's almost a shame he won't drop cuz of the matchups you could get

Doesn't he walk aruond at about 220? And he isn't shredded. I don't think 15 lbs for a pro fighter would be an issue. Unless I'm wrong bout his normal weight...

 

Yeah, hes usually around 220/230 but has a totally diferent build. Eastern eurpoean fighters usually dont like as shredded as americans, they usually look a bit chubby, but its usually all muscle. Also, Cro Cop isnt young enough to make the cut and keep himslef healthy.

besides, he stated many time he doesnt want to make the cut. He did cut to 210 in K-1, but thats as far as he got.

GSP has fought at mw before my little friend. And since when would 15-20 extra pounds of muscle make you weaker? He is an amazing athelete with mad skills. Going up 1 weight class wouldn't make him a lesser fighter but a more powerful striker.

rashad at MW would do great.

 

GSP also. he is a lil smaller than all the other MW but damn does his skills make up for them. he would do great at MW and all the ppl who say he would get killed is wrong.

 

you guys act like he is a horrible fighter and would get killd by some scrub in the MW. NO its not gna happen like that.

 

GSP would beat anyone in MW but he would have ALOT of trouble wit silva and some trouble with Hendo.

you know thts a great thot. i forgot about cote. he would do good there. but then again there is a beast at WW.........................LOL enough sed

 

I think if Cote could get back to his best then he could present a decent challenge to GSP. I didn't give him a hope in hell against Anderson, and he fought incredibly well up until the injury, which wasn't really a result of anything that Anderson had done.

 

At the very least, he'd be a challenge for GSP. He's hardly broken a sweat since the first Serra fight.

 

I like the sound of Rashad at MW too. Rashad vs Hendo could be an interesting fight. He would get annihilated by Anderson though.

i personaly think cro cop hes 220 a phenominal striker i think the lhw divsion would be perfect imagine him fighting guys like rampage and forrest i think that would bring out the old cro cop from pride sense he's not being overpowered in every bout do to size.

 

that would be pretty interesting.. but i dont think he could make that weight.. i thing Urijah Faber would also be interesting to see in the lightweight division

forrest griffin at heavy weight he can train just as hard but eat more calories and he doesnt have to cut weight. Griffin has huge power in his kicks that can be his main offense against the guys bigger than him

Faber would be awesome to see fight at lightweight. Hopefully his quickness wouldn't decrease too much from the weight gain but I can see him doing major damage there, especially adding on that muscle weight. Not sure how the WEC would recover from losing their biggest star but he could sure make a lot more money in the UFC.

 

I'd still like to see Evans drop to middleweight. On a side note: more so I'd like to see Evans drop from a hook by Rampage.
