    I agree, he has always been a 185 fighter but you can tell the cut is still a good one. Him and Dolce are just more professional about getting to the weight and rehydrating. Still don't think its good for him.

    Where did he say this?

    Dana also said 3 strikes for Nate Marquardt.

    Maybe.. Vitor has room to spare though. Look at the love handles around his waist and compare that with Johnson who is tight at the weight. Vitor has room to spare. I wouldn't be surprised if he could even make 170 at a stretch.

    Even at 185, Vitor is still carrying a substantial amount of muscle.

    At 6'2 and a decent frame, Johnson needs to go to 205 and train RNC defence!

    I think the operative word is 'was'. Although he looks in good shape he carrys a lot of extra weight in his chest and around his midriff. Vitor doesn't physically look like the Vitor of old partly because he's older, but also because he's not on gear.

    Good fight. I'd watch it.

    I think there is no shame with SF acting as the second tier org. Much rather see Vera, Johnson etc go to SF then get cut and be in no mans land. Same with Nate Marquardt. They are good fighters.
