I think it's pretty clear where he stands in the UFC LW division. He's a big fight for anybody looking to take that next leap into the big picture but the loss to Dunham and get knocked out silly by Gomi might mean he's ready for a change.

At 5 foot 6, he is pretty ideal at 145 anyway.

WEC FW division is getting a tad stale if you ask me and Faber moving to BW is not helping that. The solid and young FW's being introduced in Bellator and Japan are more impressive to me than these guys currently moving up the latter in WEC in that particular division. I think Griffin can tear shit up at FW.

Not a bad idea cause he really has no future at LW.

but we've seen MTB go from no name 155er, to elite 145er. Probably worth a shot.

But would it require a major pay cut?
