Plus, you know better than anyone else that there's a difference between dropping your weight to make a weigh-in, and what you are walking around/training as and then what you walk into the fight as. If Anderson Silva wants to drop down to a catch-weight, it's potentially easier than GSP having to add true lean bulk to his body to be able to cope with the extra power and the effect added bulk would have on his style. I think GSP is completely right to want time for to get ready for this.
This. GSP has stated numerous times in the past that he would need time to move up, and properly add the weight, and that he was always weary of doing so for the very reasons stated above.
