155 not likely in BJ's future

TweetInteresting. I agree with him on this and I have actually thought this for a long time

"When it comes to 155 pounds, I don't even like cutting the weight to make that weight. It's not a tough cut for me -- I probably cut three of four pounds on the day of the weigh in. But you have to cut down food and you have to cut your water down. And I don't know if that's a healthy thing. I mean if someone said let's meet tomorrow at 12 o'clock to fight somewhere, your family honor is on the line, I wouldn't stop drinking water and stop eating. I don't see how that can help you and make you the stronger person.... I come from a whole different mindset. I believe you get as healthy as you can and fight the best guy possible. I feel that I'm a healthy person right now and in a great mindset, and I know that when we get to Australia we're going to fight less than 24 hours after the weigh in, so I'd rather be in the position that I'm in. Twenty hours later me and Jon Fitch are going to be standing in the ring looking at each other and I'm going to be happy knowing that I was drinking as much water and eating as much as I could the whole time I was getting ready to fight someone of Fitch's caliber. I don't think Dana [White] would ever let [me fight at 155 again]."

TweetHe is a small dude, huh?
What weight does he fight at?..he said "3-4lbs"..oh. just read again. He cuts 3-4lbs everytime, but he'd have to, really, cut food & water to hit 155.
so again. What's his fighting weight? I'll guess 170. being he said 3-4lb drop at weigh-in. I'm guessing he's 170-180ish. at most???

TweetI guess that's good to know...I would rather see him stay at 170. He must have been mis-quoted because I got that from his site too.

Well, when he fought GSP the last time, I'm thinking he weighed in at 168...I may be wrong. I know before one of his 155 fights (can't remember which one) he had a video on his website of him weighing in at 182-185 before starting his cut for the next fight. I would say that he walks around now around 175ish...
