- It looks as though the UFC's 145lb weight class may have a new player. Top ranked MMA lightweight (#6 BJPenn.com LW rankings), Kenny Florian is looking to make the move to the newly adopted featherweight division. Melvin Guillard, whose been making his case for lightweight title contention, had come under fire by Florian, as he shared his thoughts on Guillard's recent success “It doesn’t make sense,” Florian said of Guillard’s claim to a title shot. “There’s a lot of guys working hard. It’s who the best fighter is. If Melvin thinks he deserves a shot over me, he should fight me and beat me. It’s always about who the best fighter is. Who has he beaten? What has he done? That’s great he’s finally considered a top contender. Losing to Joe Stevenson in the first round isn’t gonna get you that shot. You have to be consistent. He has to separate himself from the pack. I would take that fight.” Although a fight between the two might make sense, apparently it's not in the cards just yet, as Melvin told "Jay Pagliaro’s “The Show” radio show" that upon speaking to Dana White about the potential match up, he was informed that Florian was in the process of "dropping to 145".

| Interesting, he could do some damage but Aldo would work him silly! | |

| If he can make the cut then why not I guess but it just seems like too much imo. | |

yep, he came out with some tweet saying "no I can't cut to 145" or something like that. | |
