normally fighters talk about going up in weight to challenge themselves... doesn't it seem like a weak move to want to drain urself so u can take a belt from a tiny person ?

I thought it was pretty ballsy. Mighty mouse was #1 p4p at the time
Yep is kind off a bitch move on his part, and before the mm hate brigade comes and point out Cody's weight, it doesn't matter you go running to the lower class but rise to the bigger one to challenge yourself
You speak as if this is unusual. Randy Couture, B.J.Penn, Kenny Florian, Rashad Evans, Vitor Belfort, Lyoto Machida, Diego Sanchez come immediately to mind as doing this and I could go on and on. Many times its a step up in competition when a fighter steps down in weight class. A pertinent fact that you seem to be overlooking is that the fighter himself has to shrink his body to fight with the smaller guys, and rest assured, there are plenty of guys waiting for him who themselves have shrunk their bodies from a naturally larger size as well. So, to answer your question, no, it does not seem like a bitch move.normally fighters talk about going up in weight to challenge themselves... doesn't it seem like a weak move to want to drain urself so u can take a belt from a tiny person ?

Conor has made a living off of bearing off little men
A lot of people over the years said dj was p4p best. But everyone that said forgot he got his asshanded to him at 135 and ran to 125. Since he wanted claim he was best fighter and don’t want test himself at 135 again. Tj just wanted shut him up and go down beat his ass.normally fighters talk about going up in weight to challenge themselves... doesn't it seem like a weak move to want to drain urself so u can take a belt from a tiny person ?
Ok, but you based the 'bitch' aspect on body size in your original post. If you want to base it on a significant step down in skill level in the different weight class, there may be more merit to that argument but that is a different discussion.not when you're talking about the flyweights tho. its not exactly a stacked division
