this is not difficult... p4p means "how would he do comparably to other top fighters if they were the same weight" it's like fantasy mma.. does he match up with Fedor if they were to fight in the same weight class.. not meaning if he puts on that weight... but hypothetically speaking... I dig Alves.. he has made a fan out of me, but he cuts an awful lot of weight.. he probably COULD fight at LHW and doesn't.. it's not like it would affect his performance to fight at middleweight.... not to put him down, but I think it messes up the P4P nonsense in this instance...

and GSP has said he cuts from 185.. that's at least 10 more lbs than Alves... apples and oranges... Thiago almost cuts from two weight classes up.
