Interesting move.  Maybe he feels too drained later into fights I guess?  That or just trying to get a fresh start in a new weight class, (and probably not being able to make 135).

I'm pretty sure he's said in an interview somewhere before that the cut to Featherweight isn't very 'easy' for him.

This won't go well for him. Plus he's never gonna fight in a title fight with Pettis being the champ.

Don't think he's worried about title shots at the moment. Interesting because the 3rd round was his best. Didn't seem like he gassed.
