Hendo fought at 183 in PRIDE obviously. CC has fought bigger HW's before, went 3-0 against Barnett for instance, fought Hunt, fought Herring, fought Aleks, etc.

Here's an idea, let's start giving some of these fighters, like Gonzaga, Kongo, Chuck, Forrest, Rampage, Lyoto some credit? They were just better on those nights. I agree Nak should drop. I think Hendo can be effective at both weights. I don't think Shogun has any business dropping to MW right now, same probably goes for Wand. CC might consider it, but that doesn't seem to be his style.

Yet when UFC fighters do it they get shit hung on them, maybe it is about time people realise that fighters in the UFC have always been as good as those that used to fight in Pride
