He used to fight at LHW in the UFC back when the limit was 200lbs.

that was a while ago though
I think he weight close to 240 in his last fight.

Yeah but I imagine he could still cut the weight. I know he has a real muscular frame but he’s short like 5 ft. 9.

Certainly a blown up LHW, but not a ton of fat. He’s just got to drop some of that excess muscle.
I’m surprised it took someone this long to break this, actually.

Yeah, I've known about this for weeks.
Monson declined the fight with King Mo due to fighting the week prior.
Did they put a no spray painting government buildings clause in his contract?

monson doesn’t do much for me. hell, they’d been better off signing rizzo, who just beat the piss out of jeff.
Yea
I agree…Monson doesn’t add much to the mix IMO…he’s good grappler…that’s bout it.

Yeah he’s a great grappler but I’d say his political views are his best quality.
