these guys could easily be LWs going all the way down to 135, Chito has said Aljo is walking around near 180lbs while 5'11" Sean admits making weight feels like death

besides at heavyweight, will there ever again be a UFC champion that doesn't cut water weight?

imagine having 8.5k posts and not understanding that weight cutting is risk / reward. there are downsides to going to far.

But this is sherdog. Its expected.
 
Aljo dwarfed Petr & Cejudo, Sean looked a weight class bigger than Aljo in their faceoff

If it happens it would be interesting to know what they both weigh on fight night
 
Aljo steps into the cage around 152 pounds and deliberately keeps his weight around that mark during the end of his fight camp, as well. If you're curious, that is not particularly big for a Bantamweight. It's pretty much middle of the road. Cejudo weighed in at 150 when he defended against Marlon.

Oh, and speaking of Marlon. He got flagged by the CSAC for gaining back too much weight on same day he flatlined Aljo, but no one ever called Marlon a weight bully (he came in at 155). Jose Aldo came in even heavier for his Bantamweight debut at 155.5! And those men are both former Featherweights who moved down to Bantamweight specifically to experience greater success than they could against bigger men. Why is the weight bully label not applied to them?

"Weight bully" is a silly term that needs to be dropped from the MMA lexicon.

In Aljo's defense 135lbs is not Henry's weight class and Yan could make 125 lbs as well. 135 lbs is Aljo's optimal weight class imo, he never once missed weight and actually came in a pound under this past Friday.

I don't subscribe to the "weight bully" idea but they are both pretty damn big for the division

Izzy probably doesn't cut that much even at mw, he came in at 200lbs for his fight at LHW

He's not that big, this is him next to Leon.

Yes Marlon was even bigger and look at him now, immediately goes up to FW in PFL with his chin completely shot. Prime candidate for major CTE and liver failure after he retires.

Lettuce only diet Aldo was just sad showing up to the cage with his cheeks still sunken, in a good world a doctor would have shut it down.

I don't take anyone serious who uses the term "weight bully". Seriously, shut the fuck up.

Have you seen Cory Sandhagen? Patchy Mix? Umar Nurmagomedov? Montel Jackson? etc.

Who the hell pissed in your cereal this morning? Do you cut to 265lbs or something?
