    He always looks terrible he really could and probably should fight at a higher weight but it seems to be a new trend (especially in MMA) to fight at a lower weight so you have physical advantages over smaller fighters.

    Gradovich is going to bring the heat (not power but pressure) for all 12 rounds, this is the most intriguing fight on the card. (Linares vs Micthell could be the msot exciting)

    I think Gradvich out hustles him if scored fairly but we shall see, maybe Selby will be too slick for him but i do believe Gradovich will wear him down and out work him as the fight goes on.

    Yeah mma weight cuts are mental mate, people be walking round at 73kg and fighting at 61.

    I really think selby would be better off moving up to sfe, because if anything it's an easier division then fw.

    Friend of mine fights in the UFC at 185lbs. He's 6ft 6, walks around at 220lbs+. No idea how he does it.

    Speaking of MMA, What about that maniac Rumble Johnson? He used to cut around 40lbs to fight at 170!! :shock:

    Lee was the same when he boxed John Simpson, next day he was massive, I've only seen Scott Harrison bigger on fight night
