Wandi dropping to 185

He would do some damage in the middleweight division.

"I just arrived in Vegas and I'm heading to UFC's office to know more about my next fight. Everyone is talking about Jardine but there's nothing official yet, and I think it would be a good opponent because his style matches mine and he would be a good pick for my next fight. At the same time there will be the match between Anderson Silva and Dan Henderson which will be a great bout and if Henderson underdogs and wins I wouldn't think twice about dropping weight class to fight him. Respect on the side, I have him stuck on my throat since our last fight because I wasn't on my best days on that ocasion. I'm thinking seriously about changing my weight class on the UFC because I'm very small and the average fighter on here are 1.90cm (6’3).. and at the moment I'm only 1.80 (6'0).. there's been some time that I've been waiting.. but so far I haven't grown anything else and I believe my size will be this! Would you guys like to see me at another weight class? what do you think? I'll do my best to keep this blog updated and I'll keep you guys informed, including everything that happens with this friend [refering to him] that you have here on Vegas! A hug, stay with God!"

Sorry for bad english.

A Hendo rematch would be nice.

It is a good move.  Light heavies in UFC typically are over six feet tall and many at fight time weigh well over 205.  I have mixed feelings about that.  Considering that many of them are not true light heavies but undersized heavies.

it would make that weightclass more interesting for sure

This could be a good move, however since 205 is so stacked here are much better opponents there. Wouldn't mind seeing him fight Silva and Henderson though.

That would be great for Wand to just drop down for a title bout and win that..... then move back up to fight his sex slave Rampage for the belt.

"and at the moment I'm only 1.80"...

It's nice to see that he's working on his height.

Wandi dropping to 185 would be kick ass.

no one in that weight classs can compete w Anderson...   I think wandy v anderson would be killer.
