Will any current UFC LW move down in weight?

With the WEC merger do you think any current UFC LW will move down to 145? Will this help bring in more talent to the smaller weight classes now that they are part of the UFC? Just some of the questions I have with the news of this merger.

Yes, i could see t griffin dropping down. if edgar were to loose im sure he'd consider it, i mean why not?

Could Edgar go after 2 title now? Can me an Bigs FINALLY see Griffin vs Faber 2?

I really don't think so, have fun with Aldo

If anything you'll see the UFC FW division nabbin up some real solid talent.

You couldn't see Tyson Griffin going down to FW? I think the UFC would welcome it. I mean they just fast tracked Manny to at title shot so why not?

It would be perfect. Too bad Faber dropped down a weight class. I would LOVE to see Griffin vs Faber 2.

I don't think Faber moving down rules out him moving back up 4 certain matchups.

Frankie will move down when Maynard takes his title.

I wonder how many UFC LW will consider this cut. Guida is only 5'7, can he make the cut? Tyson has put on some bulk but you would think given a little time he could make it to 145lbs. After Maynard bullies Frankie I think he should strongly consider the move. Even if he wins why not have him move down to fight for a 2nd title rather then asking Aldo to move up? Spencer Fisher too old to make this cut? He is also listed at 5'7 and appears he has room to lean down.

Again, Frankie just beat the greatest LW of all-time twice and is the UFC champion. Why does everyone think he'd be in such a big hurry to move down? He can obviously compete with the best regardless of size and being the LW champion is a lot more prestigious than being the FW champ

I agree. He has no reason to move down really. But, I think we are gonna see a bit more moving around between 145 and 155. That is an easier exchange then the 15 to 20 pound range difference between the other divisions.

Aldo vs Edgar is the biggest fight right now at 145lbs or 155lbs. They would be stupid not to move Frankie down to fight Aldo who has nobody to fight anyways at FW. I think Frankie loses to Maynard and we see this fight 4-5 monts later.

Then Aldo can move up and make that happen. That's inevitable anyway

Griffin moving down seems inevitable considering both his size and the fact that weight class changes usually follow a string of bad luck. Evan Dunham and Takanori Fuckin' Gomi = bad luck.

I still have a ton of interest in Griffin vs Faber 2.
