Was looking at Pace earlier. Ivan Menjivar weighs in at 138. Jumping on Nick Pace +190.

Saw that too. Be interesting to see if he tries to shed it or jsut forfeit the purse.

Whenever someone misses by that much, I always wonder if there's an injury in there somewhere too that prevented him from making weight.

Maybe his noggin' had my perspective skewed, but Tito made Hah-shad (as Shogun would say) look like a WW... (though, I think Tito wore sneakers and Sugar was sans footwear)...

Both fighters looking quite fit none the less.

Tito's always been a big LHW and Rashad could drop down to MW if he wanted to.

i was thinking the same thing....not just the height...everything about ortiz.......i guess evans has to get some credit for doing as well as he has while giving up substantial size in pretty much every fight .....

his struggle with tito in pt. 1 is a bit more understandable...and the fact that he`s morphed into a stand-up fighter in spite of his grappling background....he`s just plain too small to dominate upper echelon 205`ers on the ground for a full 15 minutes......

I know... that's the thing... I viewed the weigh-in having that pre-conditioned expectation... and was still staggered by the differential... May have been exacerbated by Rashad's leanness this time around though, as that's as cut up as I can remember him being...

I thought that too. But big muscles = a lot of oxygen, and he'll probably have first fight in the UFC jitters. I could see him gasing quick. I'm not betting this one.

Maybe next event the old black dude won't stand in front of Arianny for every pic.

No doubt, this is the most cut I can ever recall as well. Actually they both look quite lean. I do believe Tito's wearing shoes in that picture, so the difference in height is a bit more exaggerated.

LOL, right... guy is blocking the freakin' view.

And I like Hallman giving Ebersole the "Dude, what the f*ck" look.

edit:

Yeah, Sugar is sans footwear, and Tito is wearing those crosstrainers that have springy sh*t in the heels, giving him quite a little "lift"...

Pace weighed in at 138 against Campuzano but went and choked Camp out

Agree, but he looks like a lean 'big muscled' guy, and that rule doesn't apply to all 'yolked' guys - there are plently with great cardio (sherk and wilcox are prime examples with about the exact same style as bradley).

IF ANYTHING, everyone on natal should be concerned about his cardio more than bradley's. Natal has sloppy, overrated grappling and wild strikes imo. His two fights in the ufc he was quite gassed into the 2nd rnd too.

I've made a small play on bradley, but at those odds and the more I think about this fight I'm thinking about stacking more on him. Not counting natal out, but I feel he should be a heavier dog. But I don't know the two fighters too well, so I could be completely wrong lol.
