Who do you think should drop some weight or pack some muscle to get better results in their fights ???

I would LOVE to see Guida try and drop to 145. 
GSP move up to 185, not just for the superfight but I think it could make for some good fights. 
Scott Jorgensen go DOWN to flyweight if possible. 
Pat Barry move DOWN to LHW is possible.
Frankie Edgar move DOWN to Featherweight to challenge for the belt OR
Jose Aldo move UP to Lightweight to challenge for the belt. 
Roy Nelson should try cutting the weight for LHW.
Urijah Faber should move back UP to BW imo.
Chris Leben, Dont know if he could do it. But I would love to see him at WW.
Dan Henderson should go back to MW.

It's only a matter of time until Nelson drops to lhw, probably his next fight

Barry is to short to hang with a lot of the heavies so I'm sure that he will drop to lhw also

I think Aldo will defend his title once or twice more and then move up to lw and make a title run

Hendo already said that he wants to fight silva but if sonnen is champ, I think he will stay at lhw

I would actually like to see Gray Maynard at welter. He's a pretty big lightweight.

Thiago Alves at MW, I believe he could easily be a top10 fighter in the division

Alves at MW is something I have wanted to see for a while. I think he could do good things.

I actually think HW serves Barry's skill set better than at LHW.  If he moves to LHW their will be more superior athletes and fighters than him that will be able to take advantage of the holes in his game. At HW he can hide his holes better because the fighters aren't as well developed.

some good ideas guys ^^

the last 4 on my list should go up, Johnson for his health and the other 3 are all champs so there is no need but it sure would be entertaining...

and if Makdessi, Edgar & Guida would drop it would make the FW div. one of the better div. in the UFC
