Machida and Evans to 185?

Machida just said "could be" when he was asked by @arielhelwani if he was going to go to 185

@MikeChiappetta

Quote :

On FUEL, Rashad Evans says he'll move to 185 if he gets "an offer he can't refuse." I think Anderson's camp would take that fight.

Machida weighed in at 201 and was drinking before weigh ins

While I do like the idea of more contenders at MW, that would weaken the LHW division IMO.

Machida
Evans
Rampage

All 3 of those dudes have played a big role in that division the last few years.

Perfect time for Gus and maybe Glover to step up.

205 says I'll give you Evans for Silva, 185 laughs, I'll throw in Machida. Problem solved.

There is a MMA trade needing making.

Sick AV OU! Keepin' it fuckin real

stone.... YES!!!


Machida makes everything sound mucho better!

I hope you don' mind?

PS... don't bring a half interested Rampage into the pic Jewzilla... Rampage has been missing for about 2 years now... it's a ghost fighting at this point

Love the idea of Evans to MW but not so much Machida, he's a thick LHW.

Evans came from heavyweight so he isn't mr. Jenny
Craig.

And killer I know rampage seems half interested but the dude fought bones not long ago, and is a big draw no matter what. I'm just saying if he leaves and machida and shad go down, the lhw division will be a bit thinned out. Let's hope silva moves up and/or chael. 185 is stacked if you take Andy out the division.

Just like many fighters on TUF, especially early TUF, he fought at whatever weight class he could to get on the show. That was his only time at HW. Just like Kenny Florian and Diego Sanchez competed at MW for that show.

exactly, if it was super heavy he would have tried out.
