Of course he'll move back to lightweight, that's the weight class he was fighting at before TUF!
I hope he'll be on the Montreal card and give a better performance!

Colton was clearly too big for him. Not to take anything away from Colton's performance but the size factor certainly helped his wrestling

Nah I think Colten is moving to LW as well, if you look at dudes like James Head and compare them to those two they are undersized...both of them.

James Head is a bad example, I think I know my **** and I saw him fight a couple of times and thought he was a middleweight, and a big one to boot.

Mike Ricci looked ******* horrible against a LW Colton Smith...no one who loses a TUF finale like that should get a 2nd fight in the UFC

He belongs at LW, I know he wishes that he could get that Pat Curran fight back.

I think the loser of the finale should get 1 shot in the UFC, if they lose regardless of how, send them packing.

Not all loses are equal. Ricci was dominated but I think anyone who does that we'll in the house deserves another shot.

In fairness he got soccer kicked square in the **** and Mazzagatti was off in Lala-land in his ******' head. I'm sure that didn't help.

If his reasoning is that he doesn't have enough strength to keep up with the other WW, that may be for the best. He got handled pretty bad yesterday.
