No way was Brock down to 250 for that match, he was much bigger than that. He was saying he never cut because he caught a lot of flak for being so big in the first place, and bringing up the discussion of rather or not there should be a superheavyweight division in the UFC, or setting a lower limit on the heavyweight division. Weight classes are designed narrowly so that in theory, we see a measure of skill vs. skill not size vs skill. In the heavyweight division, you could have a guy who walks around at 215-220 and not cutting vs. a guy (like Lesnar) who cuts to make 265. Brock weighed in RIGHT AT 265 for the fight with Mir, and he probably weighed over 270-275 on the night of the fight.

Article Here with the numbers from the weigh in.
