It’s like saying there’s virtually no difference to Conor fighting Edgar at 155 than fighting him at 145 because they can both compete at that weight. Fighting at WW is definitely more beneficial to Nate than Conor (obviously there’s other negatives for Nate given the short notice).
Lukker- Conor walking around at 177 pounds this week, so he still has a 7 pound cut. Interesting that he was gonna cut 22 pounds fight week for Dos Anjos, still a pretty big cut.

Can imagine him looking a lot slower in there than we are used to and tiring faster with that extra bulk,its pretty fast to jump up in weight like that.
Mellor wrote: » He fought at WW 5 years ago. I think people confuse Nick and Nate's jumps between divisions. He is taller than McGregor, but he hasn't got a bigger frame imo. Certainly nowhere near the size of Lawlor, Lombard, Woodley, Conduit. Those guys are WW's. The Edgar comment makes no sense. Conor is a division bigger than Edgar. A better example would be saying Edgar fighting Faber at LW gives Edgar a huge advantage because he fought there years ago when Faber was as BW. In reality FW or LW for that fight makes no difference. Same here. I don't think 170 gives Nate any advantage (over Conor) compared to 155, or a catchweight. It's not like Nate is 190lbs. Not having to cut benefit Conor also. The stepping up two divisions is media BS. Sounds about right. I was guessing he's still need 5-10 to make WW. Where did that come from, out of curiosity. I'd be interested to kow what Nate is now and in the cage.

Whelo79 wrote: » Anyone giving Dos Anjos grief for being injured is a tool. But I think any stick he has gotten regarding his tweet about McGregor picking Diaz over Cowboy is deserved. 95% of fighters in McGregor's position would have not fought at all. He should be acknowledging that first and foremost. Although I'm sure it's just an attempt to bait McGregor and keep interest going for UFC 200.
