Rogan was saying the samething when franklin dropped to 185 that he looked like shit and gassed quick and a few fights after he was comfortable and he did well after that.

I think last night we learn it's better to go up in weight than down.

Yeah when you have never cut weight before it really really kicks the hell out of you. Now that he has done it he will get alot better at it. I expected him to look tired if he didnt finish it early and thats exactly what happend.

I say he stays at 205 and within 2 years he is among the elite, once he figures out how to cut weight he will be a horrible matchup for all but a couple of guys.

I think either way he's not gonna make much noise in either division. The guys at LHW are freakin killers.

He looked terrible that fight but I still think he should stay at LHW.
