I dont know that much about the UFC but how long has Alves been a welterweight? Should he move up because that guy has to be a Heavyweight the day of the fight. Or he is in the sauna everyday the first day of training camp.
There is a Dana White Blog on youtube where he said he had to cut 10 pounds. He was lying in bed the whole time and I think it was only a few days before the fight. Cutting weight like that is wrong. You are supposed to be a specimen not a dead man walking.
I beieve he walks around over 200lbs and getting to 170 isn't easy and doing safely and properly is another story. He has trainers he have him do it the best way possible because losing that much weight that fast could affect you on fight day.
The dude couldn't make weight vs matt hughes but the fight went on as plan. He could move up to 185 and fight. He is big enough to challenge at 185 and i think talented enough to win also. I just dont think he can beat anderson silva.
