I really liked the transition Demian Maia made from 185 pounds to 170. I plan on doing the same thing as a featherweight.
In kickboxing, if I walked around at 185 pounds, I fought at 185 pounds.
I'm open to fighting at 185 or 205 pounds, but I think I need to give this 185-pound run a real, honest crack. Being at this weight class has definitely made me into a different fighter.
I love to talk to Demian Maia.
Nothing but respect for Demian Maia.
Demian Maia is a one-trick pony.
My natural body weight is about 183 pounds. I've just always tried to keep 10 pounds of muscle on me because the bigger you were before, the more money you made. I always tried to cut at least five pounds to get to 185.
Demian Maia, I love the way he fights.
Demian Maia, he's a tough, scary guy.
That's why I like Demian Maia and Fabricio Werdum. Demian will take you down and do his game. Werdum learned the stand-up to know what's coming, but he never stopped using his jiu-jitsu. He will clinch, take you down and submit you.
I believe, if I beat Demian Maia, it's going to be very hard for the other top guys to go around me.
As a featherweight I was walking around at 155 pounds and would just have to cut those 10 extra pounds. I wasn't being very professional.
They say that most airline seats on planes today are meant for 170-pound passengers. The last time the average American weighed 170 pounds, the Wright Brothers were flying the plane.
Right now, there are some big names out there for me. The likes of Demian Maia, Rafael dos Anjos, Robbie Lawler, and Wonderboy.
Tyron Woodley can't top me, and Demian Maia has no chance to stop me.
You can only get away with fighting as the lighter guy in a weight class for so long. That's what I was doing at 170 pounds.
I don't want to go that route where I'm going into fights dehydrated. I used to fight at 170 pounds. I was 10-0 at 170 with eight knockouts. I'm not going to listen to somebody from the outside tell me what weight I should be fighting at.
