\nas he has started managing his weight seriously since his last
\nOctagon outing. The 30-year-old believes moving up a weight class
\nwould have ended his career and he\u2019s made sure to keep his
\nout-of-camp weight low going forward.<\/p>\n
\nbecause things are too easy nowadays, but enough is enough. Moving
\nup to welterweight would\u2019ve been crazy. I\u2019m already small for
\nlightweight. Going up to 170 would\u2019ve been the end of my career.
\nThat\u2019s where it would\u2019ve ended. I\u2019m a lightweight, and from now on
\nI\u2019m going to do things the right way. I\u2019m not going to let my
\nweight go above 176 [pounds].\u201d<\/p>\n
