But why would he cut weight though? Assuming he went to the UFC, RVD would be a slightly bigger that average heavyweight. And the only reason Lesnar cuts weight at all (he walks around at 285 pounds) is because the UFC has a 265 pound upper weight limit in the heavyweight division. I see most pro wrestlers goin heavyweight unless they were smaller heavyweights (like 240 pounds and smaller), then they might cut down to light heavy, which is 205. Can you imagine a guy like Bret Hart at 205 in his prime?
