Weight cuts and all that

The UFC doesn't have a Super Heavyweight division for Brock to cut down from so he doesn't have much of a choice. Also, there's a difference between cutting 20 or even 30 pounds for a fight and cutting 55 pounds.

I'm not criticizing fighters who cut at all. You can look at the body type of a Jon Jones, Anderson Silva, etc... and say it's plausible for them to cut down to weights they fight at.

Anthony Johnson has a body type that could allow him to fight at 185 or even 205 and do well. Why does he put his body through such hell? Can't be because he loves the guys in the 170 pound division that much.
