When Rafael dos Anjos moved from lightweight to welterweight, everyone sung the praises of the move. Not only would he be making a healthy decision, but he’d do well in the division. That is mostly true. However, after his second consecutive loss – the last against Kamaru Usman – many of those same people are observing just how undersized he is against true welterweights. The answer to his problem is a 165-pound division, but his predicament lays bare some harsh truths about the value of weight cutting.

Weigjt cutting is terribly dangerous for fighters and the UFC needs to do something about it to protect the fighters.
Do a Real Madrid show! Would love to see that!

Why are you wearing a deathrow records shirt?
UFC should just do 165
155,165,170. Sounds like overkill.
150.160.170.180.190.200.220.275…………Those should be the weight classes. 125 and 135 can fight in Asia.
So many people cut weight so if a lightweight moves up to welterweight he’s most likely fighting someone who is cutting down to welterweight.
