Khabib Nurmagomedov is obviously too big for his weight class, so why doesn't he just move up

Wiki says his walk around weight is 194, if this is the case, maybe ufc needs to force him to move up in weight

Because it isn't as easy to takedown and maul 170 pounders. He would not be able to fukk with a guy like Woodley at all. If there was a weight class between 160-165, he'd have moved up more than likely.
How much does Woodley walk around at? Seems like 170 should be his division if he walks around at 194. Dude just wants to bully small dudes :russ:

Does Conor still fight at 145? Cuz that seems a bit ridiculous too.

According to Woodley, 205. In fairness to Khabib, he has dominated at 155 and was on the verge of a title shot. It would make no sense for him to start over at a different weight class. Looks like he isn't getting the title shot now, so maybe he moves up since the weight cut is so hard for him.

I think he thinks he can make the weight.

It's obviously a push. I think it's to the point where I think they are not going to ever book him against Conor on a world tour, because they can't trust him to make weight. He's missed what, twice now? And almost missed a third time?

Some way or some how I really want to see Ferguson vs Khabib. I hope it can find a way to happen. if we never see that fight it's gonna be a damn shame.
