I wouldn't be surprised if other WWs who can make LW are going to make the change. I hope he can make the cut, and his first fight is something that he can handle, so that he can get his feet under him at 155lbs. Maybe Spencer Fisher or Pelligrino. After that Sherk, Florian, Stevenson, Huerta (if he ever re-signs), and Griffin, Nate Diaz, and maybe a year or so from now Gray Maynard would all be great fights.

Once BJ beats GSP, he'll stay at WW and beat Thiago to set up a P$P fight against Silva. BJ's done with the LW division. Diego can see that BJ is not long for the LW division.
