I look forward to everyone saying the whole thing is a failure the first time a LHW beats a MW, or a WW beats a LW, etc. Cuz we all know that is coming. I wonder who will do that first. A fookin cunt probably. |

We'll see how it plays out, but it's still really odd to me seeing guys like Couture, Ortiz, Bader, etc. listed as MWs, even though I do like the new structure with the AW class added. I think the actual middleweight fighters will be in a little over their heads against the actual light heavyweights just for the simple reason that we all know weight & size does play a part in things, but again, we'll see... Hopefully it evens things out more, I just have my doubts as it pertains to the new MW class involving the LHWs. I agree. Though the actual size is less then I thought it would be in most cases. OBviously there are giants like Jon Jones who cut to LHW who will be big, but a lot of MWs are LHWs sit around rthe same height. HW and lighter weight classes are where we tend to see greater height discrepancies. And weight is pretty similar across the board within a weightclass so they should not play much of a factor. How one upgrades is still the biggest factor in a fighters success. Even moreso now that weight differences have been reduced. I look forward to everyone saying the whole thing is a failure the first time a LHW beats a MW, or a WW beats a LW, etc. Cuz we all know that is coming. That's not necessarily true either... I only point to Cruz, who's a BW, but has been at the top of the LW mountain more than once here in ManMMA. I just don't look at the guys I listed, or Jones too, as MWs. It's going to be weird. lol |

A fookin cunt probably. I'll save you the suspense... It'll probably be me. 😜 lol BUT, as I texted to Sandman, I'd be down to look at Ryan Bader vs. Jason MacDonald for my own team purposes. Sure. |
