    135, he gets beat up by the top guys at 140.

    At the top of the division? 135 with mixed success.

    He'd get stopped by a few of the prospects let alone elite of 140.

    He's too small for the best at 140lb. He's got the power to compete against them but not the size.

    He doesn't have the build you'd traditionally want from a fighter jumping up weight classes. He's a short, stocky fighter who knows how to fight small and use his lack of size to make bigger, taller guys reach down to him.

    I think he could be competitive at 140lbs if his power moves up with him but he wouldn't stand out, so we won't see him move up.
