Good lord. I’m going to laugh my ass off is he misses weight at 185lbs.

Seriously. How does a guy who fought at WW still look huge when he goes up to MW?
And we’re supposed to believe that he’s still contemplating coming back down to WW?

I think that was just rhetoric.
Win or lose, I’m betting that Rumble feels much better at 185 and stays there.

He looks like he buffed up a little for this fight.
He’s going to miss weight again.
How fucking awesome would that be?

Didn’t he say that this might not be a permanent move?

It really looks like it
Rashad has always been a small LHW and Johnson has technically been a MW for a majority of his UFC career.
I think if Johnson does well in this fight, win or lose, he’s going to stay at MW.
I REALLY hope he wins and just decides to stay at 185
I think it’ll be a much healthier weight for him, both cardio-wise and I think avoiding the drain might actually allow him to have MORE power…if that’s possible.
I mean, if he Vitor’s Vitor….that’d be huge.

It is still over a week out from the fight, and this picture has been out for at least a few days so he’s likely still over 200 lbs and will still be cutting weight and look skinnier in the coming days

I still think Vitor beats him. Try to brawl with him like Kos did, and make him get that deer in headlights face.
Greatest lover ever during the day, Trainyard Sleeper at night.
It all depends on Vitor's mental game
If he loses focus or drive, he could get outwrestled, head-kicked, etc. Otherwise, Vitor has the skills to finish him without taking any damage.

Ehhh . . . I just thought your statement needs some visual assistance.

How the fuck does this dude make 170?
(HE DOESN’T LOLOLOL) But seriously, how much weight does he cut before weigh ins and how much does he come into the fight weighing? We need these numbers UFC!
"Now you see that evil will always triumph, because good is dumb."
- Arlovski is 6’4" weighing in at 250lbs.
- Jon Jones is also 6’4" but “looks” bigger than training partner Andrei (in my opinion)
- During the UFC Media Conference Call, Rumble Johnson stated that he weighs 215lbs.
. . . so yeah, how the flying f*ck does he make 170lbs. Now I understand why he fights kind of nervous at 170lbs., because his weight cut must be BRUTAL.

That's not a weight cut
That’s a suicide attempt/

I’m curious of his gameplan. Most likely he’ll try to wrestle Vitor.
"I'm not the best, but I'm capable of achieving the impossible" - Anderson Silva
If I had to guess,
He’ll probably try employing the front kick like Anderson did. He has the range to pull it off.
Jon Fitch via Decision
He’s nowhere near as quick/fast as Silva is though. And I’d say tha his movement is pretty robotic.

I'm pretty sure
This is just what he looks like when he’s not cheating death.

215 in that pic?!
Damn. And he’s still pretty lean, he’s going to be a big MW too. He should just stay there are save his kidney.
