Flyweights are coming, and we’re already infested with Bantam and Featherweights. As for me, the only weight class I recognize is the open weight class. Back in my day, no one ever cut weight.

Although the 36 second highlight reel knockout of Jardine may be the one victory he’s most remembered for during his latest UFC but the most impressive might be his cool and calculated decision victory over Michael Bisping in OZ last February.
