Not saying these fighters need to or exactly can/should be able to make these changes in weight class, but I think they should consider it and could have some (more) success if they do.
Shogun- 205 down to 185
Frankie Edgar- 145 down to 135
Dan Hardy- 170 down to 155Patricio Pitbull Freire- 145 down to 135
Patricky Pitbull Freire- 155 down to 145
Norifumi Yamamoto- 135 down to 125
Iuri Alcantara- 135 down to 125
Rani Yahya- 145 down to 135
Christian M'Pumbu- 205 down to 185

I´m not a fan of fighters dropping classes, of course there are some cases like Frankie, Nate Diaz, Faber, that makes a lot of sense and is the right thing to do, but cutting 20-30 pounds to drop a division, that´s ********.

Frankie should stay where he's at imo, I agree with Shogun. Gegard mousasi too should drop to 185 as I dont see many opportunities for him at LHW. I would rather like fighters moving up weight classes than down as it makes things more interesting such as GSP fighting at mw.

There would be a lot of guys I'd say to go up in weight...
To go down? If possible Roy Nelson and Cormier to 205
Larkin to 170
Shogun to 185
Howard to 170
