    He's almost certainly still a top 5 HW if he were to move up again.

    I like that he's open and honest about his career.

    I fully expected a move up for him but it's good to see someone so humble.

    Always liked MC, a real gentleman and a funny dude.

    Loads of talent/ability, but there's no turning back the odometer. May be he's wearing thin.

    He could easily compete and there is enough proof to say thst he would. It would seem his words have more to do with the fact cain is back and that he has said he will retire by march 2019.

    Even with UFC trying to make him against Miocic for UFC226 which would provide each there biggest pay, I unfortunately dont think we will see him at Heavyweight again unless he fights longer then he has said which probably wont happen

    They WILL fight at 226 (barring injury) after both coaching opposite on the upcoming Ultimate Fighter.
