Looks like Big Country has lost some weight. Should he move to LHW in the future?

IDK, hopefully. He does look like he's lost a ton of weight, but it may also just be the shirt, black is slimming. My favorite part of the video is during the weigh in, when Hardy is over, Lytle says "I don't care man, it's good. **** it, we can fight." Love that warrior spirit.

lmao@black is slimming. I agree. But he does look like he lost a bit of weight for sure. We'll see but it seems like that'd be the best route for him. Lose some weight and add to the LHW Division. It'd make it more interesting. I think he doesn't stand a chance in the current division he's in.

Roy Nelson is a punching bag and should be fighting in Bellator. He is not UFC worthy.

He KO'd Straub and Struve, and he will likely beat Cro Cop. He took Dos Santos (one of the best HW strikers in MMA) and Mir (Nelson was diagnosed with walking pneumonia after the fight) to decisions. He has been KO'd once (after a ******** standup) and never been submitted. He has done all of this despite looking like a train wreck for a professional athlete. He is competitive now; wonder how he would look if he was in better shape.

If he can do it healthy, he should try.  But make it a process.

Jared, fat again?  I guess it must be the return of the steak and cheese hoagie.

His mullet is stealing all his nutrients...it's like a sweet looking tapeworm on the back of his head.

Haha, Hardy "that's what happens when Big Country does your ******' weight cut for you".  OT: Would love to see Nelson at 205 though, just hope it wouldn't diminish that solid chin of his.
