Best of luck... who you going to be fighting for? EliteXC would be a great place to start in that weight class.

Looks like he's fight for Cage Rage on the 12th of July. Sure didn't give himself much time to make the cut. (source is Cage Rages official site...)

Maybe because he's making his debut at a new (lower) weight, and should be a heck of a fun fight to watch.

As far as the move to Welter Weight goes I feel great. Im more athletic. Im in much better condition, my hand speed is back, an I would go as far as to say Im alot quicker than I was at my previous best.
I feel just as strong physicaly if not stronger do to much greater flexability.
Im not going to make any predictions or promises. Ive been very humbled as of late. Ive been handed a real wake up call.
Im going to give it my all 100% and do my best. Its Do or Die for me. Im All In! I love to fight. Im a real fighter, an like I said the day I dont think I can be a World Champion is the day Ill retire.
Im not done yet, I have alot of fight left inside me. I have alot to prove to myself an alot of people to prove wrong.
NEVER SAY DIE !!!

Great move. I've been saying that for a while. He's been fighting guys way bigger than him at 185.
