Does Nate ever go for takedowns? From what I've seen he only uses his BJJ offensively after he's put on his back and he would prefer standing up for an entire fight punching lads in the face.

When McGregor made the move to face RDA, I gave him serious credit. Lots of champs have talking about moving up to fight for the belt. But Conor was one if the few who did it. BJ is arguably another. Cruz doing this would only increase my already huge opinion of him even further.

Okay, but so what if he made the cuts harder by putting on muscle. The point is the cuts are now harder.

You asked "why bother". I was giving you the reason why I he's makes the cut again. I wasn't suggesting he stays at 145 forever. I was saying he won't leave the belt behind until he has a new belt on the wall, imo (if possible of course)

As his career progressed the cuts got harder. Not because there's only so much the body can take, but because he made them harder by putting on muscle.
Sometimes he was probably 160, sometimes closer to 170. He knows which cuts are manageable, and which pushed it too far and had him doing the strung-out shuffle. The extremely hard cuts are something he created.
If he is going back to defend he should focus on 145 and do it properly. Then look at 155. Trying to straddle both divisions will result in him not performing in either imo.
