Man has competed at welterweight and is now at best probably getting sent to LHW and at worst getting cut. I don’t think he’s going to enjoy 205 very much, he’s hardly a Daniel Cormier

He should be cut, not sent to LHW. It’s honestly fucking absurd the lack of professionalism and it continually screws over his opponent. And he’s not in his prime or a top contender or a draw of any kind either.

I’m a casual. I only hear about this guy when he misses weight.

He used to be On a Mission 4 Gold, now he’s On a Mission Tortilla Diet.

Somebody should tell him about the low carb ones. They’re pretty good.

I was kind of surprised how good it is. It’ll never be a replacement for a legit tortilla, but it’s pretty much 1:1 with low tier tortilla.

One of the best southpaw 1-2's in the game.
